I’ve an avi video about my summer vacation and I converted it to flv with Video4Web Converter (http://www.flash-video-mx.com/video4web-converter/download/ ), the program is great(and it’s for free), I added many special effects with it. But how can I share my video with my friends. Someone told me that I could upload it to my personal website. Can anyone kindly enough to tell me how to put it into my personal website? And will the special effects influnce the quality? Thank you.

Short, practical follow-up tied to what and started: a working FLV is fine, but for widest device support use an MP4 (H.264 + AAC) and serve it with an HTML5 player. Keep your original edited file, then make a web copy with settings tuned for size vs quality.

Basic upload/embed workflow

  • Export a web-ready file (H.264/AAC). Aim for a two-pass encode or a CRF setting that preserves detail without huge bitrate (examples: 480p ~800–1500 kb/s, 720p ~2000–4000 kb/s).
  • Upload the file to your host via FTP or cPanel into a /videos (or similar) folder. Confirm server allows the file size and that the MIME type is correct (video/mp4).
  • Embed with HTML5 so browsers and mobile devices play natively. Example:
<video controls width="640" poster="poster.jpg">
  <source src="videos/myvacation.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="videos/myvacation.webm" type="video/webm">
  Your browser does not support the video tag. <a href="videos/myvacation.mp4">Download</a> instead.
</video>

Quality and troubleshooting notes

  • Special effects themselves do not inherently reduce image quality, but re-encoding into a lossy format can. Export at high quality from your editor, then compress a copy for the web.
  • FLV requires old Flash support and will not work on iOS—convert to MP4 for mobile users.
  • If playback fails, check file path, permissions (files typically 644), server upload limits, and correct MIME types.

For current embed details and attributes, see MDN: video element.

Here is tutorial on . I do not think special effects will influence the video quality, but more likely the size of the final video - it will be bigger.

Okay, I've done what you said, it works, thanks.
