Export a only a Movie Clip
I am building an interactive website as my final project for my Webmastering class and need to know one thing. First I'll give you my setup. I have four Movie Clips in four seperate layers on my main timeline. I want to export one of those Movie Clips as an avi file. When I use export>movie, it exports the main timeline. I figured it would do that. So then I opened up the Movie Clip that I want to export and tried the same thing again. No luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to remedy this situation. I have five days to do this and have spent about four days of my life working on this if you add up all the hours that I have spent working on this. I really really need help. I don't want it all crashing down on me because I can't simply export a movie clip...
Thanks in advance,
Darth Haxor
Create a new blank document with the same parameters - size, fps, etc. - as the one the movie clip you want to export is on. Have both documents open at the same time. Select the new document by clicking on its tab, and then open the library window.
On top of the library window is a drop down list of all libraries that belong to currently open documents. Go there and select the library of the original document. From that library grab and drag the movie clip you want to export onto the stage of the new document you created. Position it where it belongs. Now you can export this new document, containing only the one movie clip you want to export.

Only one of the movie clips visible
I have a few movie clips on stage. I want only one movie clip to be visible in each interval. Please assist.
same movieclip not selected twice in a row:
var mcA:Array=[A,B,C,D,E];
A._visible=false;
B._visible=false;
C._visible=false;
D._visible=false;
E._visible=false;
clearInterval(vizI);
vizI=setInterval(vizF,2000);
vizF();
function vizF(){
if(prevMC){
prevMC._visible=false;
while(prevMC==nextMC){
nextMC=mcA[Math.floor(Math.random()*mcA.length)];

Hie,
i've created an intro under CSflash5 for my website, and i would like to export it into a movie clip, if you see what i mean.
Usually people create them intro movie clip and once inside begins to elaborate them intro, i just do the reverse, or rather, i just do the opposite.
thank you very much for your help !you can't export a movieclip.
you can create a movieclip of your intro and you can copy that movieclip and you can paste that movieclip into another fla. -
Hide movie clip of external swf
Hi there.
I have my main.swf and in the second frame i load an external swf called first.swf with this method:
[AS]var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip("myGalleryContainerproducts",5);
myGalleryContainerproducts._lockroot=true;
loader.loadClip("first.swf",myGalleryContainerproducts);
myGalleryContainerproducts._y =86;
myGalleryContainerproducts._x =50;
[/AS]
In first.swf i have two movie clips with instance names ena and dyo
I want in main.swf in the third frame to hide these movie clips of first.swf (only the movie clips not the whole .swf) or to move them (change x and y values) so they practically hide.
Any solutions?
Thank you in advanceYou will need to wait until the file is loaded to be able to interact with it, so if that might be an issue timing-wise then look into using the addListener method of the MovieClipLoader class. If the movie is loaded you should be able to access the movieclips within it using the movieclip name you assigned (mygalleryContainerproducts) to target them.

Full HDD - lost movie clips?
Hi all,
hope someone can be of service.
I upgraded to Mav from Mtn lion.
(Took backup in advance)
Now, I have been taking alot of pictures movies lately and my HDD is full. Finder shows I have appx 450GB of images + appx the same of "movies". Only the movie clips don't show up when i search for them (ie. ".mov", .avi etc...). Clearly the imac knows the files are there, it is just they don't show up when i search for them. I would like to find them and make sure i move all of them to a new external drive. Together with my images this should free up a lot of sp

Dear all
I have a singl movie clip which has an embedded video inside.
I use the following actionscript commands to stop and play it
onClipEvent(load) {
stop();
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
play(); }
onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
stop(); }
The problem I face is that the movie clip should play when
clicked by mouse ONLY on movie clip area which occupies only a
small part of the stage. However, when I click the mouse ANYWHERE
on the stage the movie starts to play.
Any hint? Do I need to control the coordinates of the mouse ?
Thanks
Hagopsorry, I made a mistake- i had not re-saved my files, so it
worked but not the way i thought...
my code, based on your response is attached- however it
doesnt work...
mcOther is a mc within the "child" - other.swf.
this code needs to be in the "parent" swf...
thank you. -
Exporting SWF diminishes quality of movie clip
Im working on a Dragonball Z MMO. things are goin great so far utilizing Flash PHP and MySQL. but thats not the issue right now.
Im running tests of the battle system. i have the enemy set up as Mr. Popo (character from the series) The quality of the sprite appears great and in good color.
however, when i compile everything into the final .swf, the movie clip appears diminished, discolored, and just really crappy looking.
good pre-compiled version
crappy looking .swf running version >:(
it only happens to this movie clip in particular, any insite would be grossly appricated.Check your export settings go to FIle -> publish settings. Check the slider for image compression/image quality. Should be at 80% by default. Also right click on that image (for that character) in the library and click properties. There should be 2 radio buttons where you can set the quality of the image. If you enter a value and press test, it will show you a preview in that window of what the image looks like at that quality. Let me know if this fixes ur problem.

Slow iMovie '08 launch (iPhoto movie clip export)
After using iMovie 6 HD intensively for a year, I'm quite impressed with the new '08, especially its skimming and selection features and the whole new approach to quicker home movie creation.
Surely the new version has many bugs. The worst one which I continuously see is very slow application launch due to automatic iPhoto video export: Every time I start iMovie '08 it takes more than 2 minutes to open the "iPhoto Videos" folder and thumbnails (there are hundreds of movie clips). What is even more frustrating is that the slow loading happens every time (jamming the whole program again) when clicking the movie library icons.
For some reason there is no "Show only Last Import" filtering for iPhoto media, only for clips imported directly from video camera to iMovie '08. This is very frustrating, as I mostly use my digital camera for taking movie clips.
Apple: Please add important filters like "Show: Latest Import Only" (selected as the default!) and "Show: Last Month Only" that would apply to iPhoto movie clips as well.
I tried to workaround the slow start by selecting several clips and marking them as Favourite (to filter by Favourite). This just doesn't work, as one cannot select multiple clips, making it really slow to select each clip individually and mark them as Favourites just to help the application launch in reasonable time.
The other frustrating issue has been disappearing movie "timeline view" (happening quite often after adding clips and transitions). I fix this by opening and closing the project/library browser view, which makes the timeline appear again.
Thank you for a great new movie tool! Please make the critical fixes soon to let me use its full potential.welcome t1mp to the iMovie boards ..
... I made a screencapture video with Snap x pro .. a black screen .. What am i missing? ..
you're missing, that iM08 doesn't handle all kind of 'video'; here on the board, we noticed that 'Animation Codec' (=used by SnapZ) creates such an effect: it imports, you can edit it, but on exprt = 'zil.
you have to convert it BEFORE import into iM08; use tools as QuicktimePro (30$), or Mpeg Steamclip (free) to convert it into e.g. dv-stream or AppleIntermediate to make it 'useful' with iM ... -
Export movie clip into a series of png(images)
Hi Im using flash CS6 and I was wondering if it is possible to export a movie clip into a series of images, ie if there are 200 frames, convert the movie clip to 200 images...preferably png.
Thanks all!We write blitting scripts(AIR) that essentially frame capture to create sequences or sprite sheets (RGBA32 png no problem)
the only downside is you need to author a definitive start -> end to define the number of frames you want.
if you nest a Bird flap with 5 frames clips inside a 6 frame hop then the clip will only loop perffectly if you author 30 frames...
if you want to make it exactly 6 frames without skipping you need to manually unify these motions
There is sprite packing software (such as texture packer) which will blit a swf [movieClip]; I author traditional 2D vFX in flash, add some blur/glow and other tween FX such as advanced color/alpha changes. (make sure the timelines are unified) Bring the swf to Texturepacker and the thing blits out the sprite sheet wonderfully with all the movieClip filter FX.
works great,
too bad the native flash software can't do this. in order to do it in flash you have to use graphic symbols. therefore the timelines must show you the animation and what you see is what you get. And since they have to be graphics you don't get any movieclip filters blur/glow . dissapointing -
On IDVD, I have 3 consecutive movie clips that I am trying to drop into the drop zone to create a DVD but it only recognizes the first one I dropped and only produced the first one in a DVD. How can I drop all three movie clips into one drop zone.
I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

Why can't I export only a selected clip?
I am a teacher. I used to record all the kids in a class doing a certain task, and then select the clip of each child and export each child as a separate QuickTime movie. We upgraded machines and now for the life of me I cannot figure out how to export only a selected clip in iMovie '08. Any help appreciated!
Make a separate Project for each child.
Drag the clip of that child into the project. Then Share to whatever format you choose. -
I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5 when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through . My Sound effects and music can be heard. First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it. everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.
Try Mixing Down the audio before export.
This info may help;

I need to revert my timeline back to where it was before it was saved. I made a compound clip and then trimmed it and exported it and then shut down fcp. So, when I opened it back up there was only the compound clip. Can someone help me and tell me how to revert back it back to the last time before it was saved? HELP??
Select the compound clip and do Clip->Break Apart Clip Items (or Cmd-Shift-G).

Exporting Flash Files (which contain embedded movie clips) to Quicktime!
Since the recent Quicktime upgrade to 7.1.3 I have had trouble with the
animations I've made in Flash and exported to Quicktime. Most of the time,
my flash animations require flash movie clips embeded in the flash timeline.
In the past, when I have exported these flash animations as Quicktime files,
there is no problems, but now, since the upgrade, the export does not play
back properly, and it is obvious that Quicktime is unhappy with these
embedded clips within the flash timeline. Is there a way around this
problem? A way for me to maintain embedded movie clips in my timeline and
still export a working Quicktime file!?!I've never mastered Flash but I know a lot about how QuickTime works.
I do know that some Flash features are limited to specific "publish" versions and some newer ones are not supported in older publish states.
Could you export two files (background and focus object) and test the actions?
QuickTime uses "layers" (lower layer numbers are on the "top"). Adding multiple layers to a .mov file is easy with Pro but Flash tracks that contain mouse actions must be on the top layer. If the track layer is behind another it may still appear (via transparency) but not be able to hold mouse actions.
One of my "movies" that uses Flash tracks and sprites:
