Converting LiveType movie to Flash?

Is there anybody that knows of a way to convert a LiveType movie (i.e. Quicktime movie) to Flash format for webpages? I have already tried to put a web banner I created in LiveType into my company's webpage, but it loaded very slowly on a high-speed internet connection (T1, to be specific).
I was noticing that parts of the Apple website have Flash animations (ex: in the Final Cut Studio area), and was wondering if any of those animations were created with Apple's own software (like Motion) or by a third party....
If anyone can help answer this question, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Sounds like your FLV's are not being encoded with the proper bite rate. I have no quality problems with FLV's (I've been doing them for clients for a few years). As far as comparing FLV's to a swf stream, if you're talking vector animation, then you're basing the wrong comparison.
Frankly, I wouldn't rely on something like LiveType to create an animated GIF, that's what Photoshop/Imageready and Fireworks are for, and they will work very well with LiveType and are darn good at what they do.

  • Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files

    I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
    I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
    Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??

    i don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
    (FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
    not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
    video editing program). the FLV exporter
    comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
    quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
    format - then use any of the flash playback components for
    FLV files - best bet is to read the help
    docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
    adobe.com where there are several in-depth
    articles about implementing flash video into your site.

  • Converting QT movie with pauses to Flash

    I hve exported a Keynote 4.0.3 presentation to QT and it looks great. It pauses where it should. The task is to convert this to a flash video and retain all the pauses in the correct spots (without having to learn Flash cs3 or actionscript). I have a piece of s/w that will do the QT to SWF conversion but it loses all the pauses.
    How can I convert the QT movie (really an animated slideshow) to Flash with pauses intact? Is there any 3rd party software?
    TIA

    For what it's worth, I tried manually adding chapter markers to my movies in QT Pro using those same instructions - didn't work for me (iDVD didn't recognize the chapters).
    I found another application called Metadata Hootenanny (free) that easily adds chapter markers. When I did that, iDVD recognized them and automatically added a chapters sub-menu when I imported the movie. This was all in iDVD '06.
    I've tried this quickly in iDVD version 7 (imported the same chapter-embedded QT movie as above) and it did the same thing (automatically added chapters sub-menu). Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Bill

  • Convert .mov to flash for web?

    Is there a relatively easy way to convert QT mov to a flash file for use on the web?
    I have Flash CS3
    thanks.

    Open your version of Flash and then the Help files. Enter QuickTime as the search term and see what comes up.

  • Convert Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie?

    I have Flash CS3 that came with Adobe Creative Suite. I Never
    used it but can it convert a Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie
    so I can play it on the web? If so where do I start? I also want
    the viewer to be able to stop and start the Flash movie. I guess I
    need a skin or something?
    Also I'm confused about the difference between a FLV and SWF
    file. Which one do I need for the web?
    Thanks,

    not really - you can export the MOV to an FLV and run that
    through the flash player at runtime. You
    can also import the MOV into flash doc. depends.

    Flash is not a video editor - i would get yourself quicktime
    Pro ($30 US) and open your MOV and
    export as an Image Sequence - then from flash import the
    first image into it - flash will detect the
    numerically named files and prompt you to import them all -
    they will end up as individual images in
    keyframes on the timeline.
    But sounds to me like you are trying to use flash to edit
    video - not recommended as flash was never
    intended to be used this way.

  • Converting an MOV into an SWF

    I was told that I need to use my Adobe software (Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Master Collection) to make this conversion.  I have a customer that wants me to convert an MOV file to a Motion SWF file with the following parameters (What settings do I use, and how do I play the video back on my AVID computer?):
    IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING YOUR MOTION FILE
    Motion Flash (SWF)
    • Your motion ad must contain an action-script STOP on the last visual frame at least 3 seconds in prior to the end of your allotted time duration. (As for example, a 10 second spot must have all motion STOP around the 7 second mark – the remaining 3 seconds will simply remain stationary on
    the last visual frame of creative). Looping files (repeating) won’t be accepted. Please keep in mind that this STOP command ensures your ad to run smoothly and will eliminate an abrupt ending.
    • Recommended frame-rate: 15-20 fps.
    • In general, avoid long tweens, 3-5 frame tweens are optimal. This also includes alpha fades and color shifts.
    • No multi-level files or nested movie clips. Animation must be contained in (1) SWF file.
    • Audio is not supported. Remove all audio tracks from the file.
    • Be sure to resize and color correct images PRIOR to importing into Flash.
    • Provide a "landing pad" (a single visual that doesn’t move at the end of the animation) designed to be at least 20% of the total length of your animation. The landing pad will enhance visual impact and provide headroom for an animation that might play too slowly.
    • When exporting the .SWF, set JPEG quality to 50-60%, do not password the file.
    • Avoid large amounts of text, or text under 10 pt. Screen images should be easily readable at a distance of 3 feet.
    • Be aware that using programs like After Effects and Fireworks and then exporting the finished animation to .swf will generally result in poor performance since the export converts vector objects to bitmaps. Crisp edges and smooth playback are compromised.
    • Review/ Test the final .SWF for color, quality and to ensure that all requirements have been met prior to submitting.

    Basically you'll need to provide your own getParameter
    method. It's easy with a java.util.HashTable -- the
    parameter name as the key.that means that i would have to go back and change the old code, correct?

  • Converting Livetype to After Effects

    Has anyone ever converted livetype .ipr files to something that After Effects in the PC world can recognize?
    I've used Automatic Duck AE importer to convert my FCP sequence with Livetype files but they are unreadable on the PC user's end.
    Any advice would be great.

    Like trying to open an FCP project file in Word on a PC.
    Can't be done.
    You can send 'em the finished movie, that's about all. After Effects has tons of superb text animation presets.
    Like any collaborative project that spreads across multiple platforms and shops, you need to set things up so diverse and incompatible applications are used to provide only unique output. Figure out how your PC-based AE wonks are going to use your Macintosh's LT output and then decide how you will handle the synchronization of these elements. It's not difficult; just takes planning and some discipline.

  • IMovie '08: Movie to Flash Video (FLV)?

    Hello,
    Long story short, I sent some the below directions to a co-worker on how he could export an FLV from iMovie '08... but he told me that he did not have the "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)" option. Do the below directions not apply to all copies of iMovie '08?
    1. Go to menu: "Share" and choose "Export Using Quicktime"
    2. From the "Export:" drop-down, choose "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)"
    3. Click the "Options" button, and use these settings:
    -- "Profiles" tab: Choose "Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)"
    -- "Video" tab: Leave as default settings, but change "Max data rate"
    to "464", and "Key frame intraval" to "6".
    -- "Audio" tab: If your video has audio, choose "Encode audio" and set
    the "Data rate:" to "48 kbps (mono)"
    -- "Cue Points" tab: Leave at default settings.
    -- "Crop and Resize" tab: Choose "Resize video". All videos should be
    set at 480px width... So, if your video is 720x480, you would scale it
    to 480x320 (4:3 ratio). 1920x1080 would scale down to 480x270 (HD 16:9 ratio.)
    - Hide quoted text -
    4. Click "Ok"
    5. Choose a Save location under the "Where" drop-down.
    6. Click "Save".
    Your thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Micky

    Exporting QuickTime to Flash Video (.flv) requires a complete install of Adobe Flash software ($$$).
    QuickTime 7.4 has ended support for Flash Video inside QuickTime containers and you may run into other issues with the Adobe component because of this.
    The free Perian component did allow import of .flv into QuickTime Pro and export to QuickTime formats. That too has ended in version 7.4.
    Cheap way would be to upload to YouTube and let them convert and create your .flv file. Then just "borrow" the Flash Video file by opening the direct link and saving using a browser.

  • How to convert a movie from iMovie to avi?

    Hello all
    I would like to convert a movie from iMovie to avi, what i should do??
    You have any ideas??
    Thx.

    AVI has been dead for many years and is the wrong container to share files.
    Since you've published the file to YouTube the viewer only needs Flash Player to view it.
    If you are trying to "share" the source file so the Windows user can make edits then you need to tell us more about it.
    What codecs, dimensions are available to make such an "export"?

  • Converting HDV clip to Flash

    Hello,
    I am wondering if there is any way how to convert HDV clip into Flash .flv file, keeping 16:9 ratio.
    I only manage to convert it into whatever conversion is available in Compressor, like .mov, H.264, etc.
    But how can I end up with Flash file?
    Thank you so much for your advise.

    Those are mutually exclusive operations, file size and image quality.
    Adobe's own media encoder cannot compress the their own FLV any more efficiently using preset. if you get in and tweak every scene change you can expect some fabulous results at the expense of lots of time and effort. But the file won't be significantly smaller.
    Again, suggest you hit Adobe.com and get everything they have to offer on encoding for Flash, there's tons of free information, not al of it is easy to find, hidden in support forums, tutorials, blogs. But it's there. And you can search here for "flv" we see the topic daily.
    But consider that you shot 720 and are now smooshing it to less than VHS quality and wondering why it's not both lovely and small at the same time. It's a tough compromise, very difficult to achieve, especially if you are going to open the frame controls and start applying white restore, intelligent deinterlacing, gamma, and contrast adjustments.
    Sorry not to be able to give you a magic formula.

  • How do you convert a movie from .mov to .jpeg or a format compatible with non iOS computers?

    I created a movie on iMovie that I would like to share with family members through a flash drive.  The problem is is that they don't have iOS computers.  How do I convert my movie in iMovie from .mov to a file compatible with other computers?  Thank you

    Yes, normally the whole point of making it an XFA is so you can type in it. You must use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill it.

  • How can I convert a mov file to swf?

    how can I convert a mov file to swf?

    You don't. You convert your mov file to a mp4 h264 encoded file, and import that into Flash. Then export to swf (in a folder), and you use that swf in your page (do not forget to upload all the other assets as well).
    Alternatively, convert to html 5 video files which are also supported by mobile devices.
    Learn more here: http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html
    ps you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert your mov files to h264. Or to html5 video:
