Adobe Flash (SWF/FLV)

Adobe Flash is a cross-platform video file format that plays on any computer that has the Adobe Flash Player. Flash is ideal for publishing videos on the Web.

When producing to Flash, you must consider the content of the Timeline. Choose the appropriate format to achieve the best quality at the smallest file size.

Use SWF for short, low motion videos such as screen video or basic PowerPoint presentations. Do not select the SWF file format if your Timeline includes camera video (PIP).
Use FLV for longer, high motion videos such as real-world video, camera video, or animation. Use FLV for lossy or compressed video clips such as WMV or MPG clips.

Choose Adobe Flash (SWF) for the following:

Low motion screen recording
PowerPoint recording

Choose Adobe Flash (FLV) for the following:

WMV or MPEG clips
Camera video (PIP)
Videos containing several transitions on the Storyboard
Videos containing several Zoom-n-Pan keyframes
Photographic content, such as a picture slide show

If producing to SWF results in larger than expected file sizes, this may be an indication that the content on the Timeline is better suited for FLV. Try producing the content again to FLV and compare the results.

ExpressShow (SWF)

Camtasia Studio > Task List > Produce video as > Custom production settings > Flash (SWF/FLV) > Flash Templates screen > Templates > ExpressShow

The ExpressShow Flash template (SWF) is ideal for producing videos that are approximately 15 minutes or less in length and do not contain a great deal of motion, such as transitions, Zoom-n-Pan keyframes, and animation.

The ExpressShow Flash template creates a single SWF file which contains the exported video, the configuration variables and the playback controls. The ExpressShow (SWF) is the ideal format for embedding into blogs and Web sites.

Use the ExpressShow template to include customizable information such as logos, table of contents, custom about box, and more.

If the content on the Timeline is better suited for FLV, choose the One Video Flash template and choose FLV (Flash Templates screen > Flash Options button > Video tab).
