Flash 8 Liquid Video

You knew this was going to be coming. I’ve adapted the liquid example to use an FLV video. This one pushes the limits of your computer though. Let me know how it runs for you.

  1. Nice! As you mentioned It consumed a lot of CPU :)

    Screenshot at my office computer (not the best PC though)

    Thanks for the screenshot Mario! Yeah this is a 30fps external FLV so I’m not surprised it is moving slowly :-)

    Strange. The effect doesn’t work with the Flash 8 player in Firefox (I just see the video). IE player works as expected. Is it just me?

    crashed safari on me ….twice

  5. Luke says:

    Hey, Lee. Firefox absolutely chokes on this, but Safari seems to handle it well. 10.4.2, Dual 2gigs. Cool stuff.

  6. Luke says:

    By the way, Safari uses 32% of CPU power. Firefox uses 95%.

  7. Brendan says:

    Crawls on 1.8 ghz mobile pentium 4 cpu 512mb ram … not recommended my machine is struggling!

  8. Administrator says:

    Yeah I think these types of effects with video will only be useful if the video clip is a slower fps and smaller size.

    lags hard when i mouseover the effect

    CPU @ 100%

    was the water effect scripted. It seems to be around but I haven’t been able to find any of the coding posted. Could anyone point me in thr right direction. I want to try it out on a large scale infra-red hands on controlled environment. Thanks for any leads.
