Export file formats from flash?

Hi, I have an issue concearning existing file formats for export in Flash CS4.
According to the user's manual in Italian I have found, http://help.adobe.com/it_IT/Flash/10.0_UsingFlash/WS0E26E472-1533-4297-A904-59476E8E1935.h tml
available formts include EPS and AI.
As far as AI is concearned, I have this option but exported AI files are hard to open in Illustrator, since a number of problems appear.
If I separate all groups in Flash and then export to AI format, Illustrator finally opens the AI file, but changing the colours and the shape of my design.
Moreover, no dialogue box for Illustrator version options appear when I choose AI for export, as is described in the support page.
As to EPS file format, it is not in the export file dialogue box, the formats I have are JPG, PNG, GIF, EMF, WMF, BMP.
My point is that I draw in Flash, then I need to export the designs in Illustrator for print optimization, but the content changes dramatically, if I actually can open the files.
Caould anyone help me?
Silvia

I am unsure about the Illustrator export, as I have never needed to do this, nor do I have CS4.
The EPS reads as a printer option, not an export one:
"An EPS file can be printed with a PostScript printer. ... This format has no definable export options"

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in F4V or FLV format?

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in FLV format? Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it? Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.

Disable Rpt file format from export options

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to remove/hide/disbale export to Crystal Report (Rpt) file format from the list when u run a report in the Crystal Reports.com ?
Thankyou

Hello,
You are correct. Non-administrator users will not be able to download an rpt file from crystalreports.com if that checkbox on the report's properties page is unchecked. As a side note - this checkbox also appears on the report upload page if you want to enable download right from the beginning.
Users will still be able to export the report to other formats like PDF or word though. We do not have a way to block that yet.
This checkbox is only available for report documents since the very nature of PDF or office documents involves users downloading them to be able to view them.
Cheers,
Steve

Should JPEG 2000 be an Exportable File Format Option?

I have been keeping up with the Library of Congress' efforts in the "Sustainability of Digital Formats Planning for Library of Congress Collections." In essence, TIFF is their first choice, with JPEG 2000 a close second. Here is the link to a short summary of their recommendations.
I like JPEG 2000, but like everybody else I never use it. When I burn a DVD to share with someone, I make a "hi-res" folder of TIFFs, and a "lo-res" folder of JPEGs. It isn't difficult to add JPEG 2000 as an exportable file format, as it is an ISO standard if I understand the spec correctly. In any event, if JPEG 2000 is a close second on the list at the Library of Congress, then we shouldn't take this lightly as they are the largest library in the world, in addition to being the single most important entity for handing our digital imaging rights which should be in the interest of all Aperture users.
Given this information, would you support adding JPEG 2000 as an exportable file format in Aperture 3?

Click on the word Aperture in the menubar, and choose Provide Aperture Feedback.

Btw, quoting from Wiki, which leaves me uncertain as to why I would ever use, even from Photoshop:
"While there is a modest increase in compression performance of JPEG 2000 compared to JPEG, the main advantage offered by JPEG 2000 is the significant flexibility of the codestream. The codestream obtained after compression of an image with JPEG 2000 is scalable in nature, meaning that it can be decoded in a number of ways; for instance, by truncating the codestream at any point, one may obtain a representation of the image at a lower resolution, or signal-to-noise ratio – see scalable compression. By ordering the codestream in various ways, applications can achieve significant performance increases. However, as a consequence of this flexibility, JPEG 2000 requires encoders/decoders that are complex and computationally demanding. Another difference, in comparison with JPEG, is in terms of visual artifacts: JPEG 2000 produces ringing artifacts, manifested as blur and rings near edges in the image, while JPEG produces ringing artifacts and 'blocking' artifacts, due to its 8×8 blocks."

Illustrator CS3 Import and Export File Format list?

Hello,
Has anyone typed up an updated supported import and export file format list for CS3? I used to reference a support knowledgebase document, 1001741, (no longer on Adobe's site) that showed the majority of file formats and versions that Illustrator was able to import. I searched all over and couldn't find one, then called support and they confirmed they no longer had a list like that available--they had split the import options into separate lists--like what versions of Photoshop files, what versions of .eps files, .tiff files etc. Illustrator CS3 could open.
The reason I was looking because I wanted to see what version Corel file CS3 could open after I was not able to open a customer's v.12 .cdr file.
Thanks,
Rick H.

I am pretty sure that the last supported version of Corel that AI can open is version 10.

Export file format

Hi All,
I want to export data in column format using calculation script. Currently Account, Period and scenario is dense and others are sparse in my essbase database. I am exporting data for actual scenario, multiple accounts and level zero periods. In the export file essbase automatically setting level zero period (Week 1 to week 53) in column header and other 2 dimension in row. I want to change the export file format using calculation. I want scenario to be column header and other all dimension to be in row. Is there any way I can specify the export file format. I used all the export setting but nothing is working.
Your response will be appreciated.
Thanks,

If scenario is dense and you are using the DATAEXPORT calc command try
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS {DATAEXPORTCOLHEADER Scenario;};
Cheers

Export image sequence from Flash

Hello,
I made an short animation in flash (Only about 3 seconds) and I am wondering if there is a way to export the animation as an image sequece. I could've sworn I've done it before but I can't find any information on how to do it. If anyone can give me information on if this is possible and if so how to do it I'de appreciate it. I am using Flash CS3, and I just need to get the animation exported as individual images.

yeah i get the idea of guide layers and how useful they are. just dont want all my rough layers visible when i export an image from flash.. my point being you never had to hide guide layers before publishing on old versions of flash which i think makes more sense.. why would you ever want to see a guide layer on a published image?? anyway, i discovered this only happens when using actionscript 3.0 but not 2.0 so, ive gone back to 2.0

Not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6.

Hi! I am not able to export quicktime movie from Flash CS5 or CS6. When I export it the progress bar is showing and says Recording Flash content and nothing happens

I havent exported any videos in the past from Flash. The movie is around 45 seconds and the size is 470KB.
I tried both, the memory and the hard drive.
In the attached image you can see the settings and in the other image you can see the progress bar that remains without something to happen.
I dont mind what type of video to export it can be also .avi but again I have troubles there. It is very large and the animation is distorted.
The animation consist from two scenes. The first one can be exported without any problem but the second one cannot be exported. May be because it has some masks layers and guide layers?

How to diagnose flickering exported JS animations from Flash CC?

Quick stats on my system:
Macbook Pro Retina 2012 running OSX 10.9.3
Flash CC 13.1.0.226
I'm not experiencing an error so much as a lack of understanding about how to diagnose Flash CC JS export issues. Here's the backstory:
In 2012, my company started working with an contract sprite artist. I was using the CS5.5 Creative Suite, and we were exporting normal png sequences from Flash for use in the game. After about 8 months, my cofounders and I realized that we could both reduce the load time for the game and also allow our artwork to be dynamically scalable by switching to JS exports of our art rather than the raster sprite sheets. Here's the blog post we wrote about it: http://blog.codecombat.com/hacking-our-way-to-vector-artwork-in-html5
At the time, I didn't have Flash CC, and was reliant upon the CreateJS plugin to export the required JS files: CreateJS Developer Center | Adobe Developer Connection After another month or so, our contractor upgraded their version of Flash and we started having compatibility issues reading FLA files, so I upgraded as well. After doing some reading, I concluded that the CreateJS plugin was now incorporated into Flash CC as the HTML5 doc type, which was confirmed when I checked out the publish settings and resulting files.
This is all a rather long winded way of saying that we have legacy artwork created with an older version of Flash but are now importing all of our artwork from JS files.
Fast forward to today and we have two big issues:
1) We can't figure out how to reduce the filesize of JS exports. As discussed in our blog post, vector artwork has upsides and downsides. One of the downsides we've found is that complex art that uses a lot of shapes ends up being substantially larger (in terms of filesize) than the appearance might otherwise suggest. Raster exports skirt this because a pixel is a pixel, but vector exports scale with the complexity of the source FLA. I'm not a Flash expert, and when we get files that are particularly complex, Flash either runs out of memory exporting them to JS files or we get files that are far too large to reasonably use. To be clear, the "out of memory" error isn't a problem because even if Flash finished the export, the resulting files would be too large for us to use (plus, I've done some digging and found a tutorial for correcting the out of memory error). Our artist is not familiar with the intricacies of the JS Flash exporter, so when we get a file that's too big or breaks the export, neither of us can really figure out a way to correct the problem. We have three questions in particular:
     a) Where can you view shape data that Flash is going to write to the JS files?
     b) Is there any way to edit said shape data inside the Flash CC interface?
     c) Is there any way to optimize shape data in Flash? For instance, in Photoshop, you can flatten images and export a psd with 500 layers as a single JPEG, is there any way to do something similar to shape data in Flash?
2) Exports frequently break in weird ways. Many of the sprites that we created a year ago haven't needed to be re-imported into our game engine for some time. But every once in a while, I need to go back and fix, improve, or tweak an existing sprite, and then I run smack into the issue of reconciling files that were created without thought to JS exports with our current system. Just last week I was running into this issue in a big way and I made a screencast for our artist (since we work remotely) that I hoped might give him a better idea of the problem: Flash Errors - Treasure Chest, Flippable Tile - YouTube
The two files mentioned in that screencast are both old (treasure chest) and new (flippable land tile). We have a few questions:
     a) Why are the treasure chest frames "flickering" in the html5 preview? The problem doesn't appear inside Flash and is inconsistent between files. There are two FLA files: one in which the treasure chest is empty, and one in which it's full. The empty animation doesn't throw any errors, either when converting to the HTML5 doc type or on export, but the resulting animation flickers. The full treasure, on the other hand gives me 21 lines of these errors when I do the conversion (not when I export): "Blend Modes(Layer) is not supported in HTML5 Canvas document, and has been converted to Normal in an instance of Movieclip <Path>." The result in both cases is the same: the animations flicker, and neither our artist nor us can figure out why, or for that matter, even begin to troubleshoot it. This SO issue seems to describe the problem, but was never resolved, and I can't find anything else that seems to address it: CreateJS Publish of Flash Project Flickers - Stack Overflow
I've uploaded the files involved to a public dropbox folder which I think you'll be able to access (Dropbox seems to be having some problems at the moment): Dropbox - flash_debugging
Since my questions are fairly involved, and my goal is to gain a better understanding of the UI, not simply resolve an error, I'd be happy to pay for someone's expertise/time in getting me up to speed. You can get in touch with me at george [at] codecombat.com

Hi George,
I have taken a look at the files full_treasure_chest.fla and flippable_land.fla that you have shared via drop box and found that they both uses blank keyframe(s) followed by Keyframe(s). This was an issue and has been addressed in the latest release Flash CC 2014 (released on 18 June, 2014). Can you please install the latest build 14.0.0.110 and try this out?
Thanks!

Project cvs exported file format

Hello,
Where can I get information on the format of the exported cvs file from Ms project. I need to read the file and extract information and I have no idea what is what.
cheers,
Ehsan

Hi Ehsan,
Can you be more explicit about the information you're looking for about CSV format? Exporting in CSV format, there is an option to export as well column headers which facilitates the file understanding.
Please find below the link to the Office article about exporting an MPP file as CSV format.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/export-or-import-data-to-another-file-format-HA010352531.aspx
Note that you'll have an exporting wizard in MS Project that will guide you toward the export process, allowing you mapping columns and choosing the separator. Then you'll be able to open the CVS file with Excel or any text editor.
Obviously if you're not the one that exported the MPP file to CSV format and if headers have not been included in the export process, the CSV file might be complicated to understand.
Hope this helps.

How do I use "Generate" to produce multiple file formats from the "Default" layer?

I have a Photoshop file with ~50 layers, each with unique file names for images I want to create. I want to produce in both .png and .svg file formats for each layer.
Rather than adding the code to each layer individually can multiple file formats be assigned on the "Default" layer? What is the correct syntax to do that?
Something like:
default 100% .png, svg/ *.svg
... to generate the .png versions and then also create a folder called "svg" that contains all the .svg versions of those images?

Dear Thomas,
I entered TM and found the sparsebundle under the Filesync library. However, it appears NOT to be recoverable and I tried double clicking on it but it doesnt do anything other than show a summary of what it is.
By the way, I really do appreciate your comments and agree completely. Something strange happened with my syncing of Idisk (which is set to "automatic"). It has been working fine for years. But for some reason, it stopped two days ago and did not let me know. When I tried to put something manually on it (through drag/drop), it never showed up on the Idisk on the cloud which made me notice and check it out by going to Mobileme through the browser. I then went to the tech service for Idisk and they explained that something probably got corrupted so just hit STOP syncing and then hit Automatic again. Which is what I did. Then everything from the cloud went to my Idisk on my computer and for some reason, the latest version of my excel spread sheet for attendance showed two days ago, not last night. so I lost wed/thursday classes. I KNOW it was on my Laptop which is backed up to TM every morning.. Thats why I believe that the latest file IS on my TM backup for this morning. But I can't get to it. Any other help would be appreciated.

How do I use m2ts movie file format from my old pc with FCP on my mac?

I have recently moved from a PC to a iMac. I have a large number of Sony AVCHD movie files, which were imported to my PC and are in the m2ts file format on my PC. The original files on my Sony camera were deleted so these files are now all I have. Also, for each movie clip on my PC there are 3 files....a very large m2ts file along..... with two very small file....one is a .modd file and the other a .moff file.
I now want to use these m2ts files (and if needed possibly these other two smaller files) on my Mac make movies with either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. and don't know how to import them or convert them for use on my Mac. Can anyone help?
One final question. Can FCP author DVD's or is separate software required. Apple has discontinued iDVD for iMovie (which I find rediculous) and so I'm worried they don't support making DVD's with FCP.
Thanks

Although I don't use Toast I know lots of people who do and like it for a variety of purposes; for example, many people author in DVDSP and burn disks using Toast. But there are a lot of versions and they have differing features and capability. Do a search in these (or iDVD) forums you'll find plenty of info. Don't know about the other app. Again, if you ask Apple, they may come through with iDVD…they have for others.
Clipwrap quality limitations? Try the trial and test the results for yourself. As far as I know the trial is fully freatured but there is a one minute clip limitation (which doesn't apply to the paid version).
Good luck.

Exported file differs from that created in workspace

Hi,
I have created a 5 minute movie which is bookended by two different After Effects animations.
When I preview the movie in CS4, and even in Media Encoder, it plays perfectly. However, the exported file (I have tried WMV and AVI) puts the introductory After Effects animation at the end of the movie as well, in place of the one which it is supposed to end with!
I basically have my introcuctory animation both at the beginning and at the end, despite the fact that it doesn't appear this way in After Effects, Premiere CS4 or Media Encoder.
Any clues?!
Many thanks

Are the AE Comps Dynamically Linked, or did your Export from AE, then Import them into PrPro?

Unexpected File Format in Flash Pro 8

Hi, I have downloaded the trial version of Flash Professional 8 for a homework assignment and when I try to open the file that the professor gave us I get an error that states "Unexpected File Format" I have tried almost everything to fix the file but nothing is working. I do not know what version of Flash the file was originally saved in. Can anyone help?

if that file was saved for a newer version, there's nothing you can do other than ask your prof or someone else to save it down for you or download a newer flash pro version that can open your fla.
p.s. flash pro 8 is very old. we're on flash pro 14 now.
