Convert to flash

Not sure if this question should be in the compressor section, but I know compressor doesn't convert to flash.
I'm looking for tools that are available for converting .mov files into flash files.
I have a copy of ffmpegx but it doesn't really seem to be working very well for me.
Does anyone know of any other programs?

As David mentioned, the On2 product is the one I would look at. It is the easiest (in my opinion) to use and the most high-quality results.
Also, if YouTube is your goal, follow this link to a tutorial on it.

  • Text blurry when converted to flash video

    I've been exporting my movies from FCP as 8 bit uncompressed to use as a master for converting to flash via the Flash 8 encoder.
    The resulting images look great except for text on title cards that were created with text generator in FCP.
    I've done numerous tests at various settings, but the text, after the Flash encoding, never looks pristine as it does in QT.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    I don't think you're gaining anything by exporting a DV sequence to uncompressed 8 bit. If you want to improve things, try editing in a ProRes sequence instead from the get go. 10 bit color, and it should play the DV in RT without having to render it as long as your computer is fast enough. But when you recompress a DV seqence to something else, you really can only lose quality. You can't get better by upcoverting the DV, but your titles will look better in 10 bit prores. Keep in mind that once you create something (say a title) in a DV sequnece, it becomes just that... so if you were to create the title in a ProRes 10 bit sequence, theory says that it should look better.
    Also FWIW, the Boris Title 3D titler is vector based, not bit-mapped like the text tools are. So it should look nicer all around.

  • Converting cs3 Flash Project ( .flp ) to cs4 Flash Project

    hello;
    I have attempted to convert an old .flp to the new system, according to Flash Help instructions; but when I do, the new converted Project is nothing more than navigation-panel of the directory that contains the project ( .flp );
    old .flp's were not directories, but collections of pertinent files, in a relational tree structure that I put together for ease of authoring, such as a bunch of .as files and a few .fla files that might be associated with one_module of a larger app , where...
    some of those .as files might be coming from my papervision directory,
    some from my personal as3 library,
    and some from a local_directory
    thus I have .as files coming from distant places on my computer, and a .flp allows me to put those pertinent .as files into one quick collection; an old .flp might look like:
    my_project
    - module_1
    -- A.as ... located in C://.../.../..././//././././/./../././../?
    -- B.as ... located in C://../../.././../././././././././.../...//./../?
    -- C.as ... located in the same directory as the .flp
    -- A.fla
    - module_2
    -- A.as
    -- D.as
    -- E.as
    -- F.as
    - generic_stuff
    according to the new approach ( as I currently understand it )  an entire directory structure(s) - with all the crap that gets dropped into directories while building an app - is the definitive aspect of a Project; furthermore if there are files that are not included in that directory that I want included in the Project, I will have to also include the entire directory that includes that file ... when all is said and done my Project will consist of 30% of all of the crap that is on my computer ... I only wanted 15 or 20 files;
    consider:
    project_root_dir/sub_dir_A/sub_dir_B/sub_dir_C/pertinent_file.fla
    project_root_dir/sub_dir_A/sub_dir_B/sub_dir_C/non-pertinent_readme.txt
    now if I want to quickly open pertinent_file.fla, I have to use the Project panel to navigate down through 3 directories ... but I do that using Windows, so the Project panel has not really helped me;
    and I surely do not want a bunch of clutter, like a readme.txt, included in a project, though I do want that readme in the directory on my computer ... but not in the Project;
    am I missing something?
    thanks,

    Nice episode Paul,
    I saw it on http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-downunder/converting-a-flash-project-to-air/

    Can you paste a link where to get it and if it is good for cs6
    Thanks

  • How to converting a flash clip into a bmp file quickly

    Hi,
    I’d like to get help on converting a flash clip into a
    bmp file. I have an application developed with ActiveX technology.
    There is a flash control embedded in the ActiveX control, which has
    a printing button. The end users can press the printing button to
    print the flash picture as well as other text content.
    I get the flash picture for printing in follow steps:
    1.Create a BitmapData object
    var bmp:BitmapData = new BitmapData(w, h, false);
    2.Obtain the image of current flash
    bmp.draw(mc, mc.transform.matrix, new ColorTransform(), 1,
    new Rectangle(x, y, w, h));
    3.Get pixels of flash image one by one in loop, and save them
    into a PixelCollection
    bmp.getPixel(col, row);
    4.Move the PixelCollection into flash container
    fscommand("print", load_PixelCollection);
    5.Ocx control gets the PixelCollection and converts it into
    BMP format
    But I find it is very slow when action script gets pixels one
    by one. Getting pixels of a middle size flash may spend one minute.
    It is hard for our customer to stand. Does anyone have idea to get
    the flash image quickly?　
    Any help is appreciated.
    Shi Hang

    What about the built-in print methods, wouldn't it be better
    to use those here?
    Getting all pixel values is a time intensive process, because
    of the amount of pixels. It may be a bit faster if you split the
    getPixel() loop over some frames, but I'm not exactly sure how to
    do that (just read it somewhere).
    If the content is fixed, you could create the pixel array in
    the background while the user looks at it. This is quite some
    overhead, but when the user decides to print, the array would
    already be there.
    Finally, not helpful here, but interesting:
    quote:
    BitmapData.getPixels()
    No longer do you have to loop through every pixel in a
    bitmap, one at a time with getPixel to send a bitmap to the server.
    This method returns a ByteArray containing the hexadecimal color
    value of each of the pixels in the specified rectangular region of
    a bitmap. Use this method in conjunction with the new ZLib
    compression method; ByteArray.compress() to compress and send a
    bitmap over the wire to a server so it can be converted into a file
    ready for downloading.

    http://www.flashguru.co.uk/actionscript-3-new-capabilities/)
    This will be available in AS 3.

  • How can I convert a flash object on a webpage to a fla file?

    I made a flash effect for my friend's site and he won't let me get the flash back after a fight. I can see the effect on the homepage of his website. Is there any way I can get the flash to an fla file on my computer? Is there any way I can find the swf file on his websites system and convert it to an fla? Please help, thanks.

    Open the web page where this swf is placed then go for the source code by right clicking on page anywhere. Then find the name of the swf file like if the name is myFlash.swf then search it but if you do not know the name then just search .swf you will get the file path on your friend's web. like it would be yourFriendWeb.com/flash/flashFile.swf or what ever is the name. Then copy the link and paste on your web browser and when the swf is opened then save it by going to File menu.
    Now you have the swf file on your PC. Now the task is to convert it to fla. This thing can be done by a flash decompiler like Flash Decompiler Trillix. Decompiling will end up with your orignal fla file.

  • Is there a way to convert from Flash to Dreamweaver???

    Hi,
    this is my first forum question on here, so I hope I am explaining this okay.
    I have a Flash website ready to go and what I would like to do (after the recent news about flash I was advised to change it) is export the file to dreamweaver and load to my website that way.
    Is there a way to either
         1. open flash files through dreamweaver and make active
         2. just open working .psd files through dreamweaver and make active there.
         3. just continues useing flash(??)
         4. Just change the .file name in my folder???(is that possible, I doubt it)
    If there isnt any way to convert this file, can someone suggest a good dreamweaver tutorial or something thats helpful
    Thanks!

    Hi, Welcome to the Dreamweaver forum. 
    Try this:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/wallaby/
    It's limited in what it can do.  But it might be enough for you to squeak by. 
    Good luck and let us know how you make out with it.

  • Mp4 needing to be converted to flash for viewing

    Hi
    I have premier elements and I was hoping to be able to convert existing mp4 files to flash to use on a website.  I don't see how I can do that... any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Debi

    From a completed Project in PrE, you can Export/Share/Publish (the terms change version to version), to FLV. That would be what you need, but there are other considerations, for the embedded Flash Player, so John T's link should be a good place to start.
    Good luck,

  • Converting a Flash Button to GrayScale

    Hi, I am building a quiz in Flash, the quiz will display a
    question and a set of three possible answers. Im just wondering if
    its possible once an incorrect answer has been selected (which is a
    button) the button can be converted to grayScale???
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Ian

    if it's a movie clip (or in a movie clip) you can use the
    Advanced Color Filter to lower the
    stauration of it - can probably be done with Actionscript as
    well - but hard to provide details
    without knowing how you have wired your document.

  • Converting to Flash

    I use iMovie to import video from my video camera. I am interested in converting this video to flash once my editing is complete. Could someone please give me a suggestion on reliable and relatively inexpensive software for the conversion?
    I am interested in uploading the edited file to a server and then streaming that file for interested parties. I am in need of a "flash player" also. Any suggestions on where I could get an inexpensive player or an easy build would be appreciated.

    Jennifer,
    Can you explain why iMovie has a convert Movie to FLV option in the Expert settings?
    I looked at your web site. Thanks for all the info.
    iSquint looks very interesting, do viewers have to have QuickTime.
    I've been converting to swf to post my videos because I ran into some viewers without QT. For example:

  • How to convert a flash demo (either FLA or SWF) into FLV file

    I first converted the FLA file into AVI file by using the option of export movie in my flash software. But the ouput was not good, the quality of the demo was hit. The animations looked shaky. Then I tried converting the same file into QT format but as I use Flash 8 I was told to change the version in the publish settings to either Flash 5 or a lower version which did not support the actionscript and the animations that my file had. My file occupies 13,320 frames which makes the FLA and the SWF file quite heavy. Is there any way in which I can convert my demo to FLV format without using a third party software and just use Adobe Flash and Adobe Flash Video Encoder to do the same?

    I wanted to know how can the conversion be made without using any tool apart from Quick Time movie player and Adobe Video Encoder.
    Though I managed to make the FLV file I discovered that the background music was not playing.
    I want a solution through which I can make the FLV using only Quick Time player and Adobe Video Encoder and not lose the background music and the voice-overs that exist in my file.

  • Part of screen blurs when convert to flash

    My movie plays just fine in Captivate, but when I convert it
    to a flash file, some of the images blur slightly. Highlight boxes
    are "off" just enough to be annoying but they are in perfect
    position in the Captivate file. What's causing this?

    In your porject preferences, do you have your Jpeg image
    quality set to a higher figure 80%+ ?

  • Avi to FLV converting using Flash 8

    I'm trying to convert an avi file that works perfectly to a
    FLV file using Macromedia Flash 8.
    The info for the avi file is the following:
    Codec: a52
    Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
    Bitrate: 256 kb/s
    The FLV file is trying to converted to the following:
    Video Codec: On2 VP6
    Audio Codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
    Audio data rate: 96 kbps (Stereo)
    After convertion the video looks fine but there is no audio.
    I tried selecting another audio codec on Flash 8 but the only
    codec showing is MPEG Layer III (MP3). And its gray out. No option
    to select something else.
    Do I need to install another codec so I can listen to the
    audio after converting?
    Thanks.

    I think your avi is encoded at MPEG1 and it needs to be MPEG2
    for the audio to not get dropped during the conversion. I use
    VideoRedo to convert the avi files, and you can also try SUPER
    converter or AutoGK to do it as well.

  • Convert all-Flash site into html?

    I have an all-flash site (www.CBRTA.org). For the benefit of
    certain clients who won't install the Flash plugin, I have to
    create a mirror html site. Does anyone know how I go about
    converting an all-Flash site into html? And quickly? I have access
    to Dreamweaver 8 and Flash 8.

    Sorry... unless you've separated the content out already,
    like into a
    database, you're going to need to cut/paste etc... there's no
    easy way if
    the site is all inside of Flash.
