MAX Sneaks : Flash Player Video Performance Improvements

In this segment from the Adobe MAX Sneaks session, Tinic Uro (Senior Computer Scientist on the Flash Player team), shows off the new "stage video" feature being added to Flash Player which provides significant performance improvements when playing Flash content that contains video.

Tinic demonstrates both 1080p video, as well as super high resolution 4k video playing back in the Flash Player.

So what this shows is that it's not a hardware issue. The "fairly underpowered" Macbook Air runs the flash movie easily when flash is actually coded properly.

So stop bashing Apple and Mac OS X when the fault clearly lies with Adobe.

@ulvhund

Flash for mac has been coded really crappy by Adobe. That's why your friends macbook plays flash video so crappy. How is Apple at fault here? If Adobe coded flash as crappy would Microsoft be the one to blame?

@comedytracker

derp, lets compare Total CPU Usage, to Individual CPU Usage

[groomtroy]

Amazing!

I will rule at this.

[comedytracker]

Macbook Air has really weak dual core, uses 10%

Winpad Mobster has powerfull quad core, uses 12%

derp, windows is bettar derp lets laugh wen he says mac book is underpowered.

wow you suck at the end were he sed it was almost inpssible to watch a video in flash ? well if its so good why would you pick the slowest ever part of the film maybe show a action scene or somthing were its not so slow ............. adobe you suck

@Genevill That's kind of you but you didn't hurt my feelings. Don't own a MacBook Air myself; have used many computers from many manufacturers, and can see the positive side of the model that you and Captain Adobe T Kirk said were underpowered.

@badmanners411 I'm sorry my comment hurt ur feelings!!! X(

[badmanners411]

@Genevill He didn't dis Apple.

Try use one before you pass judgement. It's small enough to use in a cheap airplane seat, light enough to cart most everywhere, its unibody design makes it strong and rugged. You saw it takes less CPU power to run the video demonstration than the HP. It has about 30 day standby life, and it's fast to use because of its SSD drives.

There are other Apple computers available with different characteristics. Which computer make/model do you use?

why are audio & video out of sync ????

[MrGrayish]

Nice. Now go fix the bugs on the player.
