I recently created a Flash Video from a PowerPoint presentation that one of my vendors put together.
Wanted to see what QBN thinks about it. Any suggestions to make this better?
Looking forward to some feedback.

Make it shorter for starters. There's too much being said over too many frames. I think you can say the same things with more impact over a shorter amount of slides.
I stopped after a couple of minutes of being smacked over the head with the same points phrased differently.
I'm not sure if the content is your thing, though.

I stopped, read and replied to a long email, went back and it was still going.
But blue.
I think, had i watched the whole thing, i might have died inside a little.

only made it to the backhoe photo.
maybe try a cleaner typeface? Those downloadable grunge faces are really cliched and tired, imo

way, way, way too long...
there is no way anyone is going to stick around through that whole thing.besides that, it's boring. fade in fade out. slightly different background with some dreary music and grunge type. no offense.
one other thing, your background is slightly larger on the left side on some of those slides.

keep waiting for the payoff.
make it way shorter. your customer is smart enough to know what you're getting at.

I agree with all of you... and we are currently working on making this much, MUCH Shorter.
I got board myself just making the stupid thing.
Maybe some of you could also help me with this. If you watch the Flash in Firefox or Safari, you see the Telecom Video, but if you watch in IE, you see a video on Payphones. Any one know why IE would play a different video?
Thank you for the comments

Because it is IE.

does every single line
need to have its own line?
so that it takes forever to read
and get your point across
and what about the music?
it was putting me to sleep
making me tired
making me lose my patience
did i mention it was long?
am i repeating myself?
am I stating the same things over and over again?
your video was like that
your video is like that

what's the diff. between this and the powerpoint presentation?
- hubb7designs0
The difference is that it is a Flash Video. This was my first crack at making any kind of a Flash video. That's why I was wondering if there were any good tricks in Flash to make a "presentation" video like this better.
Any Flash suggestions? Besides making it MUCH shorter :)

Give the copy more variety in how it comes in, possibly have large blurbs of text in some frames and then emphasize smaller portions in others. The fading motion along with the music is almost trance-like so it makes this piece hard to focus on for a long amount of time. If you need to have so much copy, you should bulk a lot of it together. Introduce more relevant visuals between the content too.

I personally find the cinematic visual transitions breathtaking.
