Export QuickTime Prob from Flash - Junk displayed in .mov

Hi
I'm trying to export a Flash movie as a .mov file. The animation is not that big but there are strange display issues. As the character moves across the screen, there are bits and pieces left on the screen from the previous movements. It's just not rendering correctly and looks terrible. I can't seem to fix it and have been playing with the Format settings etc. It doesn't help. There's always the junk left on the screen. Any ideas? I am using CS4 on Mac OS 10.6.7
Thanks!

Hi luvromntns,

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

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!

Export svg sequence from Flash into Edge?

Hey there,
I'm really struggling to get a animation out of Flash into Edge as a frame by frame SVG sequence.
I've tried the Flash2SVG extension in multiple Flash versions and it doesn't work.
At the moment I'm doing this...
from Flash CS6 export FXG
import into Illustrator CS6
save as SVG
import in Edge
which is very time consuming and sometimes stuffs up positioning of elements in each frame.
Anyone got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

The latest Flash CC 2014 release has an export to SVG option, which exports the current frame as SVG. There is no direct way to export the entire animation as SVG sequence though.
You can find more details @ Flash Professional Help | New features summary

Export illustrator file from Flash Professional CS6

Can a background/scene created in Flash profession be exported to illustrator file with extension Ai without illustrator?

Thanks for trying to help. Some how I managed to do it-but I did it some kind of meatball way.

You did not have to group it you could have exported the image or the selection only or the movie in the FXG format (Flash Exchange Graphic) and what is wrong with doing it a newer and better way. FXG is supported in Flash Catalyst as is Illustrator and Photoshop FXG can be exported from Illustrator so you use the file in Flash more readily and though Photoshop does not support FXG that might change.
I am leased they finally came up with a rational method of exporting to and from Illustrator and Flash.
Eps was never the right way since Flash is not a postscript application.
You found the right way and format you just went about it in an unusual and unneccessary way.
Next time if you want all the art choose image instead of selection if you only need some elements of the art select them export choosing selection only that art will be exported no need to group.
if you want the whole movie then again choose the whole movie of course that will be a motion type format not FXG.
Anyway you sort of did it the right way.

Export Editable File from Flash to Illus

My co-worker spent all day trying to export a Flash file to open and edit in Illustrator. Is this possible? She feels that it is because when she exports as .fxg into Illus if she turns the preview to outlines the art looks like vector art. Im not so sure. You cant select anything. It still has all those outer boxes aroud it like when you "Place" artwork. Is it possible to do this? Thanx w/any help with this.

Can't export image files from flash

In Flash 13.1.0.226 it seems like the options to export a layered image are gone. When I go to export>image there is no longer an option for .fxg
I've read through this forum and Adobe recommends export .svg. There is absolutely no option to export or save as .svg
The only export options I see are jpg and png, which is useless to me. Please tell me how to export a layered image from Flash.

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"

Export a movieclip from Flash

Hi,
I have certain content in a movieclip. I want to export it into formats like eps or ai. Is it possible? I have done jpg and png but not sure about vector formats..

When I export a MC from flash that has a .png in it, it shows up in all browsers except iPad.

This is working in safari on Mac and firefox. The image will not load on the Ipad. Any Ideas?
Here is the code:
var canvas, stage, exportRoot, offset, zoomIn, zoomOut, image, schematic;
function init() {
          canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
          stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
          createjs.Touch.enable(stage);
          images = images||{};
          var manifest = [
                    {src:"images/schematic.png", id:"_95Z7FanBrakeHydDiagramColored"}
          var loader = new createjs.PreloadJS(false);
          loader.onFileLoad = handleFileLoad;
          loader.onComplete = handleComplete;
          loader.loadManifest(manifest);
function handleFileLoad(o) {
          if (o.type == "image") { images[o.id] = o.result; }
function handleComplete() {
          schematic = new lib.Schematic();
          stage.addChild(schematic);
          createjs.Ticker.setFPS(60);
          createjs.Ticker.addListener(stage);
          zoomIn = new lib.ZoomIn();
          zoomIn.x=10;
          zoomIn.y=10;
          stage.addChild(zoomIn);
          zoomOut = new lib.ZoomOut();
          zoomOut.x=10;
          zoomOut.y=70;
          stage.addChild(zoomOut);
          addListeners();
          stage.update();

I'm not sure if that is the problem, but when compiling for iOS you have to include external files in the publishing window.
And maybe that will change the URL you are using too.

Need to open .fcp project from FCP7 in FCPX 10.0.3. How can I achieve this without exporting the original from FCP7 to a QT movie? I need the original timeline in FCPX.

I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.

Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.
