Reminder: Adobe needs users for Flash video & button studies: get an Amazon gift card

Adobe is looking for participants for a brief (~1 hour) online work observation and interview. Compensation will be a $100 Amazon gift card.

There are two sets of criteria, each applying to a different study. Read the criteria carefully before responding. Also, it is important to indicate in the subject line of your response which one of the two studies you meet the criteria for and wish to participate in.

There will be 2 studies of Flash workflows. One is about deploying video content in Flash. The other is about creating a button to perform some control of the Timeline. The studies will be conducted over the telephone and Adobe Connect (software for screen sharing).

For the video study, participants must meet the following criteria:

  • some experience with Flash CS4
  • some experience viewing video on the Web
  • no experience using video in Flash
  • have any version of Creative Suite 4 or Flash Professional CS4 installed (with most recent updates) on a computer that can be connected to the Internet
  • ability and willingness to install and use Acrobat Connect on the same computer as the above software
  • a 90-minute block of free time between 9am and 5pm Pacific Time on a weekday.

If you meet these requirements and would like to participate in this study, please contact me at jarmstrong [at] adobe [dot] com, with the subject line “Flash video study”.
