AIR FLV subtitling application.

I was tracking the AIR development very closly through Adobe Labs(A greate place to learn RIA) AIR 3.0 Beta along with Flex Builder was a nice toy to play with, then came a requirement to add subtitles to FLV vidoes. The subtitle will be an XML file and tracked by the custom FLV player (which I developed in mid 2007 ) .

Now the trouble was preparing the subtitling file with the accurate time details of each videos, and found that's gona eat up a lot of time, so I thought why not build an AIR application and came up with the "CaptionAir".

The first thing I decided when thinking about the application was that the user are going to play with video files and hence all the button should have key board shortcuts.Other features includes users can load a file by browsing the local files or from a server path.The "start Time" and "End Time" will track the time in between the subtitle has to come.Once the subtitle text is added it comes to a list box below.

Clicking on the list box items will automaticaly takes the application to "Edit" mode and track the video to the appropriate position.Using the time scrubber at the bottom the user can sail to any position of the video and preview how the subtitles will work in run time.Clicking on the save button will export the entire subtitle information into an XML file.

Adding the certification and converting it to an installer and all are fairly simple.
