Exporting Comp to Flash Animation (and Keeping the File Size Small)

I have an animation I have made in AE which isn't terribly complicated.
Maybe 450 X 250, mostly blank background. The artwork was done in Illustrator. There are about a dozen layers, all AI artwork, and the animation is about two seconds.
When I export the animation as an SWF file, the file size is 1.2MB. What do I need to do to make the file size a lot smaller?
I am not used to making animations for Flash. My AE animations are usually meant for video applications, but someone decided they want this animation to go on their web site instead.
Thanks!

If it is a frame by frame animation try importing the MOV file into Flash rather than exporting from AE.
Not sure if this will work but it might. When you publish the file in Flash you will get a resulting SWF file that is created automatically. See if it is smaller.

Export to Flash and keep the file size small!

Clearly Keynote has a major bug when exporting to Flash. The files become very large, about 10x larger then the combined size of the JPEG's inserted. Earlier today I discovered how to get around this issue, albeit a far from perfect solution. Simply open each picture used in Photoshop and use the "save for web" menu. Save each image as GIF, 128 colors and rebuild the Keynote presentation. Although a color rich picture saved as GIF versus a reasonable compressed JPEG is x 3 or x 4 times larger the end result when exporting the Keynote to Flash is substantially smaller. Apparently Keynote exports to Flash without adding size when GIF's are used. Apple, please fix this "JPEG export" bug!

Hi Gopal,
You can get the components in your internal table using the below code-
lo_struc_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs_line> ).
    lt_components = lo_struc_descr->get_components( ).
* Insert the component names in the start of the file
    LOOP AT lt_components INTO ls_components.
      IF lv_string IS INITIAL.
        lv_string = ls_components-name.
      ELSE.
        CONCATENATE lv_string ls_components-name INTO lv_string
        SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
Here <fs_line> is a work area. Basically we are getting all the fields in the internal table and writing their names in the start of the file.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ravi

How can I keep the file size small when I render a .mov file to video in PS entended CS4?

Hi,
I haven't worked with video in Photoshop before and I am having the following issue:
I imported a .mov file into photoshop. I trimmed the file by moving the start and finish points to the relevant points on the timeline. I then cropped the image to get rid of unwanted footage on the edge of the screen. I then selected export - render video. On the panel I chose to select only "currently selected frames" as the range and I chose "Quick Time Movie" as the file type. When I check the properties of my newly rendered movie the file size has increased by several times. The file sizes are now much too large.
I know that I must need to alter some of the render settings but having tried altering many of the settings the result is always the same - a very large file size that is much bigger than my oringinal file.
If anyone can let me know how I can carry out a simple crop & trim on a .mov file and end up with a smaller more compact file after rendering the video I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hi Marion,
Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cole

Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.

Preview: Save as PDF while approximately keeping the file size ?

Hello!
I know that several good discussions took place about the way to reduce the file size when saving (as) a PDF from the application Preview.
I tried:
• the default poor quality "Reduce File Size" preset filter,
• the additional filters provided by Jérôme Colas (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6250289)
• the "Compress PDF Workflow 4.0" that reenables feature for Leopard (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/compresspdfworkflow.html)
Has anyone come across a method to _keep in about the *original size*_ of the original Adobe PDF ?
When saving a 3 MB PDF with Preview, I see it increase to 80 MB, so that dramatically reducing it to 40MB is not really satisfying, is it?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion !

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

How can I backup a game on my MacBook to a flash drive and keep the saved content?

I have a game that isn't working correctly so I am going to uninstall and reinstall the game, but I want to keep the progress in the game. I don't know how to save the game to a backup storage device and keep all the saved content in the game. I really don't want to start all over again, it takes a long time to get to where I am.

Printing a PDF and keeping the original size.

I have a question, in my workplace I have to share documents with other departments. I draw them in Illustrator and save them as PDF, since is the only way they can print them. My problem is that the drawings are size sensitive, if I draw a 4 x6 inches square, that's what it needs to be printed (100%). However, when people print the PDF file, the size changes, and the drawing is being reduce a bit. I know that we could manage each printer's settings, but not everybody would be able to do it. My question is if there is any way to know the reduction rate or proportion when converting to PDF. Should I make my drawings at 105% or 110% to get the 100% when printing? Is there any other way to get this done in a easier way? Please, any suggestion will be highly appreciated!

Danella,
The only thing you can do is to keep the exact paper size used in the PDF (A4, Letter, whatever).
Then instruct whoever is printing the PDF to use the settings that result in a Zoom level of 100%: in Reader by ticking Actual Size, (keep in Acrobat by unticking both Shrink oversized pages to paper size and Expand smaller pages to paper size, or whatever it takes depending on Reader/Acrobat version.

Converting a File to PDF and Keeping the Files Original Date

I've got Acrobat Pro XI and I'm using the Action Wizard to covert a folder of TIF files to PDFs. The action works but, I'm needing for the newly created PDF files to have the same date on them as the original files. Can anyone help with this?

You can set the date on the file (not with Acrobat but specialist tools may exist), but the creation date shown in Acrobat properties is stored in the file is defined to be when the PDF was created, not the original file.

How do I turn off Picture Sharing? I want to send the file as normal and keep the file name.

As above, recently I can't send images the same way as other files. I want the receiver to get the file directly. Right now Skype uploads the image to some website and also changes the file name, which is a big problem for me. Also it's very impractical for the receiver to have to open the link all the time.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Please ask the recipient of your file to upgrade to the latest version of Skype for their platform. The latest versions of Skype for all supported devices are available at http://www.skype.com/download.
All current Skype versions show the file within the conversation and do not require to open them in the browser any longer. By default Skype opens a thumbnail for received files. Make sure your pick a location to save the image as a receiver and you will get the original file and not a smaller thumbnail in a different file format.

How can I convert files in Aperture to jpegs and keep the file large

I want to upload files into istock photo and they must be as big as possible but in jpg format. I end up exporting tiny little things going from 8mb to 300kb. How can I do it? I even tried going into CS3 but that only allowed me to convert to tif. I would appreciate any help - especially if it is simple!

Go to File >> Export >> Export Version(s)
In the resulting dialog box you'll find a drop down called Export Preset with a list of presets. One of them is JPEG Original Size. That should do it for you.
Also you can choose Edit at the bottom of the preset list and modify an existing preset or create a new custom preset.
BTW: the reason you couldn't do it in Photoshop is that you need to convert it from 16bit to 8bit before you can save a JPEG. That command in Photoshop is under Image>>Mode.

Poor interface with Adobe CS4 and setting the file size for emails

In frustrations over an unfixed bug in iPhoto (slide shows) in addition to too many limitations, I am trying out Aperture. So far it has been a big disappointment. I like Photoshop (CS4) with layers etc. as well as Adobe Camera Raw, both of which I intend to continue using. The workflow in Aperture appears disappointing (Photoshop) and totally absent (Adobe Camera Raw). It seems like Apple's attempt to capture some of Adobe's market share has has happened on the consumer's expense? Besides disappointing functionality, I have run into a surprising problem: No matter how I set the email photo export preset in preferences, the attachment shows up as a large file when exported to Entourage. The size does not change no matter how I set this preference.
My 21 years of loyalty and enthusiasm towards Apple has taken some heavy blows lately. With some 15000 photos and 35+ albums in iPhoto, I don't see too many alternatives. Can someone tell me if there is a way around these problems.

First of all I am not comparing Aperture to Photoshop by expecting the layers function. It is the interface between the two I am questioning. We obviously also have different expectations to Aperture. Mine are solely based on my experiences with iPhoto and what Apple tells me on their website:" Aperture 3 is a professional photography application that lets you refine images, showcase your photography, and manage massive photo libraries. Aperture 3 gives you all the easy-to-use tools you need to import, organize, compare, enhance, and share your photos." I do not find a single sentence stating that it is primarily a "Raw image editor processor" as you are defining it. I was not looking for a new raw editor. I was, however, based on Apple's claims above, expecting a combined advanced editing an photo library application. As such I also expected layers. That is not comparing it to Photoshop. Naturally our views are based on expectations and experiences, and ours are just different, that is all.

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.
