Embedded animated Symbols won't export as sequence

FLASH CS5 using Windows XP. I have created an animation that I want to export to sequence of .png files. The file has Symbols that contain embedded animations.
For instance, I have a flashing light in one Symbol. That is embedded in a bouncing police car Symbol. The police car Symbol (with the embedded flashing light) is brought onto a flat bed truck at the "scene" level which is driving down a road. It all looks nice if I render an internal swf file. However, when I export the individual frames, all that is rendered is the flat bed moving down the road. The bouncing car and the flashing light are there but without the animation of each.
Does someone know how to export an animated sequence that include the animations embedded in its Symbols?
Thanks,
Klaaninka

you cannot change a movie clip into a symbol, it will be converted into a still image.

  • Exporting animated symbol to image sequence

    Hi guys!
    I'm unable to export an animated symbol to image sequence properly because the symbol does not animate.
    I created the tweens in multiple layers, then cut-pasted all layers to a new symbol. I did this so I could then just do some tween motions on the symbol.
    The tweening is perfect, but when I export the image sequence, the images do not animate the way it does on the Flash player. All I get is an image sequence with the tweened symbol, but the symbol itself does not animate.
    I'd really appreciate if you guys could give me a tip on how to get the symbol to animate when exporting the image sequence.
    Alternatively, is there a way to motion-tween multiple layers simoultaneously? (Layers which are themselves tweened)
    Thank you guys!
    Any additional info, I'll be checking regularly so I can provide as much description as possible to get this to work.

    Ok, I figured it out!
    I changed the symbol type to "Graphic," and I was able to see the animation in the timeline. Easy!
    Now I just exported the movie to png sequence, and bam! Magic!
    If anyone has this problem, don't hesitate to ask me and I'll ellaborate on what I did.
    Thanks!

  • Sequence won't export in quicktime movie

    I have Final Cut Express and for some reason a sequence won't export into a Quicktime movie, but a Final Cut Express movie file.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Thanks
    Barry

    Thank you both for the input.
    I didn't realize this. This was the first time the file I exported didn't have the Quicktime icon, or named a Quicktime File.
    Does this type of file still work on Internet sites like Facebook?
    Much appreciated.

  • Suddenly Media Encoder won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence

    Came back to work today and out of the blue Media Encoder just won't export to .avi from a Premiere Pro sequence. Working with CS5 on Windows 7. That was the last thing I did yesterday before leaving work and it worked just fine, and it has always worked without any problems ever since I upgraded from CS4.
    Here are the steps I always take: go to Export-->Media from the Premiere Pro sequence and the settings open up, I select Microsoft AVI - PAL DV, click the queue button, AME opens up but nothing loads, the queue remains empty and nothing happens.
    I tried the same but selected MPEG-2 instead and it works that way.
    I also tried opening the sequence directly from AME and it does it but it doesn't give me the option to export it to Microsoft AVI, it's just not on the list.
    I deleted all preferences and old metadata options saved from all applications but that didn't help.
    Didn't install any updates whatsoever that might have changed anything at all from yesterday till now.
    If anyone knows what the problem might be and how to fix it, that will be truly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    After a couple of hours going through the registry and every folder and file inside "Program Files--Adobe--Media Encoder CS5" and trying to find the problem, I did.
    Thing is, the ExportAVI.prm plug-in file wasn't missing, it was there in the "Plug-ins--common" folder together with every other exporter and importer file, it just wasn't being loaded by AME for some reason. So i found a folder named "txt" and inside it there was a file named "AddExporterList.txt" which I opened and, as you could probably imagine from its pretty self-explanatory name, it contained a list of the exporter files that AME was supposed to load, and the AVI one wasn't on the list.
    I wasn't sure wether it was best for me to edit that text file and add the AVI exporter to the list or just delete the damn thing, so i checked on an older PC with the CS4 suite installed in it and the "txt" folder didn't even exist, so I just deleted it and opened up AME again and it loaded every single exporter .prm file including the ExporterAVI.prm of course and it works just fine now, so that's a load off my shoulders, hope this might help someone else in the future.

  • Premiere Pro 5.5 Sequences Won't Export

    I haven't changed any settings, yet suddenly I can't export any sequences.
    I go File -> Export -> Media, hit the Queue button, it goes to the status bar that says it's exporting media, and then it just sits there.
    Since I haven't changed any settings, I don't have a clue what to do to resolve this issue.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on a solution? Or at least a reason why it's not working anymore.

    Hi, I'm having pretty much the same problem but after trying several of these solutions i'm still stuck,
    I'm not sure how to delete preferences, turn of GPU acceleration,  I'm a little afraid to delete preview files incase i'm deleting files i've rendered already?
    I've completed a 30 minute film using 3 different types of digital cameras.
    When i try to export it my system crashes and i have to open it again.
    the project file is 35GB and i have over 100GB space on my external usb hard drive, so i know there is enough space, i also deleted temp files and unused files too.
    I contacted an experienced film maker and took my hard drive to him so he could export it on his system and that also crashed, but he was able to export the entire video of the sequence but unticking the export audio, so i have a 30 minute film with no sound and i've put it down to an audio issue.
    I had the same problem when trying to export the film when it was just 20 minutes long, i then cleared the media cache and deleted a lot of unwanted files etc, and then i was able to export the film. now it's 10 minutes longer and the issue seems impossible to solve.
    the only solution i can think of is to delete the last 10 minutes of audio (which isn't really an option) or somehow record the audio into a seperate file and import it into the project
    I'm not entirely sure of the exact details you would need from me but if there is any please ask
    Using windows 7
    4.00GB of RAM

    Thanks for reading!

  • Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ?

    I'm new in DPS, just started for a couple of weeks and I need to use a image in an animation.
    I created the animation in inDesign exported in .fla, used de toolkit js, load it in a container with web content overlay, and when I preview it with Adobe Content Viewer it doesn't work, it apears a blank screen. Neighter of animation from that stage won't work.
    To be very precise any animation works fine, when I test the html in a browser, the problem appears only in the content viewer.
    The animation is very simple: smal logo entering in the stage from the right, not very complex.
    I tried in flash with other images in a test file and loaded in inDesign, and still don't work. Other vector animation works well, no problem. I saw that if I have an image in library in flash and export a simple animation with a vector ball, won't work in indesign preview, with content viewer.
    My question is, Could work an animated flash bitmap image exported in html 5, in DPS ?  If so, what should I need to do ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Two possible solutions I was considering:
    1) In my index/first page, have all the swfs present (scaled to 1x1, behind something, or invisible) and have a preloader code on that first page... so all the content gets loaded before continuing onto the rest of the site.  That would certainly work in making the site run quick... but would mean a relatively lengthy wait at the start.  Luckily, unlike my current site, all the actual site content (aside from the header/nav interface) is HTML... so the bulk of the site's content is in the HTML pages, not as part of the Flash header... so it probably wouldn't be too horrific a wait.  However, it would be loading EIGHT of these swfs, since there are eight pages... so then maybe it would be....
    2) Have an swf that consists of just the 'draw up' of the interface, and it's idle state... then when each button is pressed, load a new swf to replace the main one, which has the specific page's animated title sequence, and ends with the code to load the html page.  So, each separate HTML page would have embedded into it only the main swf, and the title animation swf would be swapped in when a nav button is pressed.  Main issue here is each button press would envoke a preloader sequence (kind of tedious)... and unfortunately all the 'main interface' elements loaded in with the main swf would have to be loaded in again at the start of each animated title swf (although none of the draw up... just the loading of the interface and buttons).  For highspeed users, it should be okay, I guess....
    Thoughts or better ideas?

  • Motion 3 not exporting entire sequence

    I'm trying to export and sequence from Motion and it will not export the entire sequence. My animation is not terribly complicated, just photos with some animated text so I don't think that it's something my computer can't handle. Motion doesn't crash or do anything strange. I'm not having any problems with any other Motion projects (some that are much more involved too). It just stops the export around 3/4 way through. I've checked all my settings and everything appears to be in order. I've even tried exporting parts of the animation and it still won't export everything between the in and out points. Any suggestions?

    when you export are you using "export play range"?

  • Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?

    1) Can armatures be made into nested animation (symbol/movies)?
    I made a dragon character and animated the body with the amature(bone tool) in flash cs5.  I was having trouble trying get it to become a nested animation and make it into a symbol/movie.  I heard you are suppose to select all the animated frames using EDIT> TIMELINE>COPY FRAMES, then pasting the animated frames into new symbol/movie. I have no luck with that, the menu becomes dimmed out from copying the frame...I'm not sure if nesting animations with amatures is possible?  Any ideas?  Thanks.
    I was planning to get the body into nested animation, then attached seperate movie with flagging wings along a guide path.
    2) Second question.  I don't know why flash cs5 is exporting it's animation a lot differently from gif to swf.  In the gif format it doesn't show the nest animation.  Here's an example.  The wings on the dragon animate fine in swf format but when converted to gif.  The wings don't move.

    It's very interesting -- there's some bug in the file -- even if some layers are not visible, when I double-click the text layer you are supposed to edit (the Symbol), other layers with text start to appear...
    Not sure what's causing this. I would suggest to log a bug here:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    ...explain the steps and attache the PNG.
    And if you break the Symbol apart (select it > Modify > Symbol > Break apart) and then try to edit the text, all works normally as expected. Use this as a workaround -- I don't have a better suggestion for now...
    I have made the tests with Fw CS5...

  • OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

    Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
    5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
    OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
    Final cut 6.0.6
    Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

    Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
    Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
    You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

  • Codec Not Found error when trying to render/export layered sequence

    I have a sequence that I never had problems with in the past but as of yesterday when I open the project and try to render or export. I get the infamous dialogue box saying, "Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card."
    I've narrowed it down to only being a problem wherever I have two particular types of media clips layered one on top of the other. In this case it is occurring wherever I have an Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) clip layered with an Animation codec clip containing a graphical bug that was created in After Effects and exported as a Quicktime Movie with RGB+Alpha. Because of the Alpha channel in the bug clip, it is automatically given the Animation codec upon export from After Effects to retain and preserve the transparency needed. I've also narrowed it down to only occurring when all this is combined on a sequence with its compressor set to standard ProRes 422 or ProRes HQ. If I set it to any other codec, such as any DV/DVC Pro or MPEG IMX codec then I can render and export again.
    Also interesting is that I can nest the sequence into another sequence and render and export just fine as well, even with it set to either ProRes codec (which will probably prove to be a suitable workaround for the time being), however, any additional insight into this issue that anyone can provide, pertaining to what may have changed or caused my original sequence to suddenly not want to render anymore would be greatly appreciated.
    And if anyone else reading this comes across this this same type of problem themselves, then I suggest what I just got to work: Duplicate your sequence, then delete the clips from the new sequence and nest the original sequence into it.
    Here is some additional background info if desired:
    I'm using FCP 6.0.6. The sequence I have going here is set to Apple ProRes 422 and consists entirely of Quicktime Movie files. Video Track 1 has the main video clips using the ProRes HQ codec (Again, even with the sequence set to ProRes HQ, it doesn't make any difference here). Track 2 has a graphic bug that was created in After Effects and layered over the Track 1 clips at various places. I was able to work with these clips and render as well as export the sequence with no problems last week. However, I was requested to revise the bug in After Effects, and then replace the old bug with new bug and export the sequence again. So yesterday, I simply opened up the After Effects project file for the bug, made the revisions and exported it with a new name using the same settings as the previous bug. The render problem I'm now facing surfaced right when I opened the FCP project file yesterday, before even importing and replacing the old bug with the new bug. I went ahead and imported the new bug and placed it in place of where the old bug occurred. But the render and problem remained. On this particular problem sequence, I can render the new bug if I actually disable or remove the ProRes clip beneath it, but I cannot in turn render the ProRes clip after disabling/removing the Animation clip above it.
    Now, I can copy either type of clip into their own sequence allowing the clips' respective native settings (ProRes HQ & Animation) to take effect and then they will playback and export just fine. I can even copy the bug clip (Animation codec) and paste it into the other clip's ProRes HQ sequence and it will render and export just fine from there as long as it is placed next to the other clip and not layered over it. On these newer sequences, it is only when the bug (Animation) clip is layered over the ProRes HQ clip with the sequence set to ProRes or ProRes HQ do I tend to still get the "Codec not found" error.
    I've also tried the following steps to try and troubleshoot to no avail:
    1. Copied entire sequence into a new sequence. Problem still occurs.
    2. Closed FCP, trashed preferences, and restarted FCP. Problem still not resolved.
    3. Opened project on another computer, had same problem.

    Thanks for sharing these ideas about dealing with this error message.
    For what it's worth, I finally managed to solve a similar issue by going into sequence settings, choosing the Video Processing tab, and changing Render 10-bit YUV to Render 8-bit YUV.
    Maybe this helps someone?

  • Best options for exporting a sequence and making a DVD

    Hello,
    I have a sequence that is 79 minutes long with the following properties:
    Vid Rate - 29.97 fps
    Frame Size - 1440 x 1080
    Compressor - Apple Int. Codec
    Pixel Aspect - HD (1440x1080)
    This project began with the intention of being a short video, which is my background, and I can usually deal with exporting issues for short videos. However, it is no longer a small project. This was unexpected, and I frequently find myself in over my head. I am at the point where I need to give small theaters copies to view for consideration for a real screening, and would like to ask the folks here some questions:
    How would you export this sequence for viewing on a DVD? Export through QuickTime Movie (not conversion)? Wouldn't that make a file too large to create a DVD with iDVD? DVD is only SD, yes? How is that (watching on a DVD) taken care of, if at a later time I would want a DVD of this sequence to be in the best quality possible?
    This is a lot of questions, and I hope not too vague. Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi
    My notes on this
    FCE/P to iDVD
    Several things
    • How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
    • Free space on Start-up hard disk
    • Encoding
    • Brand and type of DVDs used
    • Burn speed set
    • iDVD BUG
    • Chapters
    How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
    • Disable Screen and Energy saver
    • IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
    • Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
    This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
    Free space on Start-up hard disk
    I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
    Encoding
    • I use Pro Quality encoding
    Brand and type of DVDs used
    • I use Verbatim
    • I use DVD-R (plays on more even older DVD-players)
    Burn speed set
    • I set down this to x4 (or x1)
    iDVD BUG
    • One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
    the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
    of them will work.
    Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
    Use of Chapters
    • I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
    • NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
    • No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
    (Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
    Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
    them except at very beginning - still)
    Material used to build movie
    • video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
    • audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
    • photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
    If problems:
    Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
    from post ??
    May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

  • Exporting TGA sequences from FCP

    I have been successfully exporting targa sequences with embedded Alpha's from FCP using QT conversion. However, the compression that is automatically put on this, (which is probably RLE or LZW?) is creating individual targas with different file sizes, ie, 128kb, 72kb etc etc.
    When exporting from AE you have the option to turn off the RLE compression which results in consistent file sizes, (about 1.6mb for D1 Pal frames). Does anybody know if it is possible to turn the compression off when exporting from FCP?

    Shane helped me out, I was expecting the video on the screen to show in high quality. he explained that that's not how it works, video to the screen is not of the quality you get in the final export.

  • Won't Export All

    Hello,
    I'm fairly new to FCE and I'm trying to export a sequence which is only 32 seconds long. For some reason, it stops at the frame 16;07. I've rendered all the clips prior to exporting. I'm currently trying to export to a .wmv file with Flipformac, but I've tried exporting to other quicktime conversions with the same result. I've even tried setting an In and Out point at the beginning and end. My sequence is made up of another sequence on V1 and a Title3D on V2.
    Does anyone have ideas as what I could be doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Lawrence

    Sorry Guys,
    I'm working on several problems here, trying to get a quick animation into Powerpoint for windows. I've just tried again to export to a Quicktime and it exported the whole thing. So maybe it's just my flipformac plugin that's the problem. Still, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

  • Exporting a sequence if a portion of the video is corrupt? (HDV)

    I have a single camera project where it seems as if a second or two of the footage (HDV) is corrupt. The frames just jump and the sound is completely screwed up. Whether it's the tape or the transfer, it's not important enough for me to investigate that portion further. MPEGStreamclip opens the file fine and doesn't complain.
    Final Cut just won't export a QuickTime file of it. It keeps erroring out once it gets to that portion of the timeline, and a large chunk of the footage that it exports is completely pixellated, even though it looks perfectly fine in the timeline itself.
    I've tried:
    1) Export -> QuickTime Movie (current settings, self-contained)
    2) Export -> QuickTime Movie (current settings, recompress all frames)
    3) Export -> QuickTime Movie (uncompressed 10-bit, self-contained, recompress all frames)
    4) Export -> Using Compressor (JPEG 100%)
    All of these methods fail.
    How can I get this sequence to export without failing?
    Thanks.

    If MPEG Streamclip reads it ok, couldn't you export it to QuickTime with the video set to the right HDV codec, then replace the media in FCP?
    I re-compressed the clip in MPEGStreamclip using the Apple Intermediate Codec and re-connected the media without incident. I'll find out tomorrow morning if it exported properly overnight.

    2. From where to where: From the US to Iran, Columbia, Canada, San Marino, ...
    3. Why would they need tug boats in San Marino or wepons in Iran?
    4. What export licenses does he have?
