Converting SWF/FLA to Quicktime movie help

Hey,
I'm having issues converting a semi-old flash file into a quicktime video. I've been moving a lot of work to .mov files lately and off of a flash based file, the conversion actually worked perfectly on a previous video but I can't seem to get it to work on this file. During the conversion it just gets hung up on recording the flash file and I'm forced to cancel. Creating a AVI yields the same result (no that I want a AVI, just saying).
I thought of a few things that may have been making it act like this, so I deleted things like the play/replay button and what not, but no good. Can Flash not export to a Quicktime if there are Actionscripts present? I'm pretty much at a loss. I've uploaded the full file, untouched from my tampering here. http://www.iamgrafik.com/grafik_flash_002.fla Any insight or help is appreciated. Or if you can convert it out, that'd be great too (bad for me still though, since it's a problem on my end....)

but none of you have descibed the "problem" - hard to
troubleshoot something when we dont know what
is wrong.
see this (i post this article several times because this
issue is asked almost every week):

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

  • I get a General Error message when I convert my film to Quicktime Movie.

    I've compressed my film down to 24p etc etc. That worked fine. Before I did the compression there were some things I had to reconnect, did that, there was only one that didn't reconnect but the compression worked fine. Then I go to turn the film into a Quicktime Movie, I get to about 60% then I get a General Error message. Anyone have any ideas why thats happening?

    Have you tried the compression with cinema tools?
    make a quicktime movie of the stuff at 25 that you want to compress at 24 and go to cinema tools. make sure you create a new database at 24fps and try menu clip / comform. notice that cinema tools doesn't duplicate the clip, so it converts the one you are importing, make sure it is a copy of the original at 25

  • Quicktime Movie HELP!!

    I am running Final Pro 6 and have a DVCPRO HD 1080/60 timeline. When I export to quicktime movie, it plays fine in the quicktime player on the Mac. However, when I transfer the file over to my PC, where I am running After Effects, it does not play in quicktime, nor does it display anything when I import the file into After Effects. I have all the latest updates for the player and the software. Do I need to export in another format out of FCP6 to import it into After Effects running on a PC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Two ways to do this:
    Trash your render files for the sequence in question - I'd suggest selecting all clips, Command-A then pressing Control-B twice to disable, then renable your clips.
    Then File > Export > QT Conversion.
    The QT dialog, once you've selecting the File to QuickTime Movie setting, hit the Options button.
    In the Movie Settings dialog, hit the Settings button, then select Animation as your Compression Type. In case it doesn't do this automatically, set Depth to Millions of Colors+ and exit the Compression Settings dialog
    Now, back in the Movie Settings dialog, hit the Size button and select the HD 1920x1080 setting. No other options in the Size dialog should be active.
    Get back to the Save dialog in QT Conversion and save your movie. Since it has to render out your timeline in Animation while it saves, this might take a while.
    Or, alter your Sequence Settings so that your Compressor is set to Animation (be sure to click on the Advanced Options and set Color Depth to Millions of Colors+) and then render.
    You can then do a File > Export > QuickTime Movie at Current Settings.
    Once your movie is rendered and exported, since you're working with DVCProHD, you'll need to open your movie in QT Pro, press Command-J, then alter Visual Settings to 1920x1080 to correct the frame size.
    One thing to be aware of: depending on the file system your PC is using, you might be limited to a file size of 2GB (if it's NTFS, I believe) or 4GB (if it's FAT32) and that's real issue because Animation codec files are not lean.

  • Help with converting WMV files to quicktime movies for video ipod.

    Is there a way to convert my movies that play with the windows media player to a movie file that Quicktime Pro can use to export to my video ipod?
    I am running windows xp, can anyone help??

    File size is dicated by the bitrate of the file. From my review of (thousands) of WMV files there appears to be some compression in the WMV format that is not reapplied when save as to a MOV container is performed. You can see in get info the WMV file say 100MB has maybe 125-150MB of data when it is fully loaded in Quicktime.
    Thus save as does not apply the WMV compression the same as native WMV is all I can assume and the new QT file (MOV container) is bigger than the source file is.
    Exporting to any new QT format (say H264) is going to make a file that is dependent on the new QT bitrate you select but if it is higher than the bitrate shown in the Get Info Inspector box when the original WMV has been opened it will be bigger without a doubt. So if you have a 3Mb/sec WMV file that you export to 700 kb/sec for iPod basic it should be 1/4 of the size. Use 5Mb/sec fo Apple TV it should be 2/3 larger.
    I rarely use QT Pro to export and when I do I don't use default settings. I prefer MPEG Streamclip which offers easier control of variables, batch file processing, deinterlacing and other things and it is free.

    Hi,
    You can decompile the SWFs you are working on using any SWF
    decompiler, search for one on Google, but the result sometimes is
    not as good as the source files.

  • Export to quicktime movie help

    Hi people,
    I have a very quick, and slightly embarassing question...
    I have a movie that is approx 85 minutes in length, shot on DV PAL. When I compress is via quicktime converstion it's coming out at 18.05GB.
    What I need to do is reduce the file size by a few GB. I've used the Custom setting and reduced the quality to approx 15% but the file size is still coming out at 18.05GB. Unfortunately using compressor is not an option in this project (please don't ask.....)
    Can someone please help and advise how I can reduce the file size.
    Thanks
    Alps

    I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
    The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
    I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
    I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
    I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

  • How do I batch convert a group of Quicktime movies to H.264

    I want to know the best way to batch convert movies in Quicktime Pro with H.264 compression and save as a .mov file?
    Thanks in advance for reading and replying to my post,
    Sebastian

    I want to know the best way to batch convert movies in Quicktime Pro with H.264 compression and save as a .mov file?
    The QT Pro Player is not, in and of itself, a batch processing application. You can, however, parallel process your files easily enough. Simple open your additional source files and set up your export options for each. As each new export begings, a new progress bar will appear in your export window. If you wish true sequential batch processing, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) as your "front end" to access the QT structure for exportation.

  • Premiere Pro 1.5 / Quicktime .MOV help

    I'm using an old version 1.5 and it doesn't import .MOV files.  I was hoping to find an update or plugin that would allow me to import MOV files but I didn't find anything.  Am I out of luck or does someone know of a fix?  Thanks
    Ralph

    Ralph,
    Glad that part of it got handled, well sort of.
    I would take a look at this new MOV file in G-Spot, and see what it says about it. As mentioned, there can be some Mac-only CODEC's inside that wrapper, and they can be the issue. Let us know what G-Spot says about that file.
    This ARTICLE will give you a bit more background on "wrappers."

  • Quicktime Movie inside SWF

    You don't have a choice, the only video file flash can load
    is FLV.
    The only way is the covert the MOV to FLV and dynamically
    load on demand.

  • Converting swf to quicktime

    I was wondering if anyone could guide me in the right
    direction in terms of converting swf's into quicktime. I've been
    searching around and so far I cannot find the answer.
    Thanks.

    www.flashants.com - look at SWF2Video (Windows). It will
    convert an swf to AVI - from there you
    should be able to export it to MOV using a video application
    designed to handle such an export.

  • Adding a .smi File to a .mov quicktime movie

    I have an unsubbed Quicktime movie and both .smi and .srt files containing subs for the movie. How can I attach the subs in the .smi or .srt files to the .mov file? I also have the video in .mkv format, and used the application SmartConverter to change it into a quicktime movie. Is there a way to add the .smi or .srt file to the .mkv file then convert it into a quicktime movie or something?

    Hi,
    There is also a Myth buster from Paul Randal which says you do not need to keep tempdb data files equal to processor core
    Myth-Tempdb data file should always have one data file per processor core
    But if you read Microsoft blogs it would say you should have tempdb files  as per cores.
    Tempdb best prctices
    It all boils down to fact that are you facing issue with Tempdb. Does recommendation that tempdb data file equal to logical core always holds true, no it does not always that is what Paul Randal tried to show in his Article. You start with two data files
    on different drive and monitor performance of Tempdb if you see PFA,GAM SGAM contention adding a data file would help. These recommendations generally hold true for huge OLTP environment where MS tested various features and your environment might not be same
    as the one tested. Its a Good practice not an ideal. Ideal is one that suits your requirement and that would require a testing.
    SQL Server tempddb Number of files a raw truth
    If you want to Identify contention in Tempdb use below link

  • Why does a 1.5Gb QuickTime movie file take up 5.8Gb in iDVD?!

    I've just converted an old VHS tape to DVD and then used Wondershare DVD Ripper to convert this to a QuickTime movie file (*.mov). This resulting QT file is 1.5Gig in size. When I then add this movie into iDVD, it immediately takes up over 5Gig of project space and thus is too big for a normal 4.7Gig DVD. How can this be? The movie fit on a 4.7Gig DVD to begin with with some room to spare to why does it see so much expansion within iDVD?
    - CDM

    CDM -- The Quicktime .mov format is a so-called container format -- and what's inside can be compressed or saved in different ways. So you could have a highly compressed Quicktime file that doesn't take up too much disc space. But, if you want that file on a DVD video disc (that plays on a regular DVD player), it must be in a format and structure that is standardized. MPEG-2 is the DVD standard format, and so it is entirely possible that your highly compressed video won't fit on a standard DVD video disc (in mpeg-2 format).
    To bypass the resulting uncertainty with varying compression algorithms, Apple prefers to focus on the duration of videos, They use three methods in iDVD for compressing video into the mpeg-2 standard -- one method for video less than 60 minutes in length (Best Performance) and another for video under 120 minutes (Best Quality); the third method (Pro) takes longer, and tries to optimize the result for video of any length (but still under 120 minutes).
    I'd suggest focusing on your video duration. Also, you are likely to obtain better video quality if you minimize the changes to video format -- VHS to DVD is both a conversion of analog to digital as well as a compression to mpeg-2 format. It sounds like you're then converting that into a Quicktime compressed format (mpg4?), and then iDVD is compressing it back into mpeg-2 for the final DVD. If you're editing the video, then you're typically stuck with all those conversions, but there are alteratives if you're not happy with the results (eg, MPEG Streamclip to cut up your DVD footage and Roxio Toast to copy those mpeg-2 files back to a playable DVD).
