Exporting fla to avi or wmv on a Mac

I just completed my first Flash animation using Flash CS3 on
a Mac. I need to deliver it as either a avi or wmv file. Can
someone please help me with this. Do I need an intermediate piece
of software?
Thanks

I have that SAME exact question. I've output .fla to
Quicktime .mov (with no compression) and the software it's
ultimately going to for NTSC/broadcast use (Velocity) plays it
triple time or something. AVI files it can evidently handle. How do
I provide AVI? (And yes - I'm on a Mac. Seems the PC version offers
AVI option.)

How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

Hello,
To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

Export fla to avi without loosing animations

i have created a movie with intenal movies involved. The internal movies tween along a path in the main movie but animations to the sub movies don't show as they do in the swf - any suggestions.

From my experience.. its better to export as MOV first and then to AVI using software like erightsoft's "Super". AVI export from Flash isnt that great!

Exporting FLA to AVI/MOV

I'm creating a short promotional video which has been created in Flash. I've broken it down into modules for easy editing and then want to export them individually into a video file so I can stitch them all together in a suitable video editing software to create one video.
I've done this however the output quality is pretty low. It needs to be displayed on a 42" monitor at a trade show so quality is an issue. Can anyone advise me on the best settings in Flash for optimum video export quality or indeed offer any other advice that'll provide me with the output I require.
Thanks

Other than get a proper video CGI app like After Effects? Probably the only thing you can do is hope you used a lot of vector graphics which will upscale fairly gracefully. If you used a lot of bitmaps you're pretty much up the creek, especially if you didn't even do it at least 1280x720. You'd have to go back and retool any tiny bitmaps or they will simply get blurry as heck.
During exporting you can choose any resolution you want. You can choose 1920x1080 if you wish. Just export your movie at 1920x1080 and take a look at it. If it's acceptable then you need not do anything else.
In the future, definitely start with the highest possible resolution you may need. It's standard in video to produce in at or above the resolution of your target (typically larger) and then reduce size. It has a nice smoothing effect and you'll never be in this situation again.

Premiere Elements 10 MAC OSX, can't export to AVI or WMV and Crashes everytime

I recently bought Adobe Premiere Elements 10 3 days ago, instead of FCPX because of pricing issues (Difference around 175€). This App, since i have installed it, keeps crashing every time, with simple actions like split a clip, adding a effects, using subtitles, etc. A video editing app that only exports to wmv or avi on pc version is shameful. I can't even use flip for mac to export to wmv... witch is one of the most used file extensions around the world as well as AVI. This information is not shared on the app store, and i found it later on forums and on adobe website. I am not happy at all and I wish to have my money back. Since i bought it on the Apple App Store, they told me to talk directly to adobe.
The order number is: MH3SJK7FDJ
Waiting for your response

Martime,
If you have purchased Premiere Elements, within 30 days, then Adobe offers a full, money-back guarantee, and all you will have to do is contact Adobe with your S/N and invoice info, to return the program for a full refund. Just do not let the 30 days pass.
As for the Supported Export File Formats, see this Adobe KB Article. Note the "Windows Only" besides AVI and WMV.
Now, many Mac-users have had good luck with Flip4Mac, regarding WMV files. Not sure why that is not working for you. Most of those users are on PrPro, but I would not think that would make a real difference, but could be wrong there?
Good luck,
Hunt

Exporting QT to AVI - No sound (this ones different)

I created a Flash (CS3) animation that has to be delivered as an AVI or WMV. I managed to export it as a Quicktime mov( looks good, has sound) - purchased Quicktime Pro and exported it to an avi file. Looks great - no sound. Checked the forums - installed Perian - still no sound.
I have fixed permissions and restarted - still no sound.
Questions:
1) Is the sound "in" my AVI file but doesn't play with Quicktime. Is this what Perian is supposd to do or does Perian enable Quicktime to export the sound in the AVI file?
2) Is Perian some kind of plug in? All I have in amy app folder is an app called Perian.prefPane.
Thanks

I actually used the export to Quicktime command in Flash (CS3) to get the QT file, although I don't think that makes a diference.
I know might be crossing into Flash territory here, but Flash CS3 doesn't give me an option to either publish or export as a FLV. I think (could be wrong) that FLV might be a PC only format like avi (Flash will only publish to avi in windows- which started this whole thing).
I had no idea how involved this whole thing was (converting from Flash to avi). My solution : I found someone with FlashCS2 on a PC and I'm giving them my original file (Fla) and having them save it as an avi.
Thank you for your efforts.

How can I convert the projects files (*.prel) to a AVI or WMV format? Is that possible?

I'm actually using Adobe Premiere Elements 10.

There is no "Publish+Share" in Premiere Elements 10. Publish+Share/ is the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 counterpart of Premiere Elements 10's Share/.
If you have established your Premiere Elements 10 (assumed Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit) Timeline, you can export that to an .avi file and .wmv file and many other formats from the Share area. Remember, .avi and .wmv are just file extensions that wrap the video and audio compression, so, when deciding on export choices, good to keep in mind all the properties that you seek for your export. All that being said...
General idea....
For avi file...
Share
Computer
AVI
and then you set for the appropriate Presets.=
For .wmv file
Share
Computer
Windows Media
and then you set for the appropriate Presets =
I suspect what generated your question was that you are not seeing the AVI and Windows Media choices under Share/Computer/.
If that is so, you need to use the thin scroll bar to the right of the choices and scroll down to AVI and Windows Media to see them
and others toward the bottom of the list there.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
Thanks in advance.

You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...

AVI to WMV

Hi wonder if anyone can help. i invested in QTpro so i could edit AVI files. But when i export from AVI to WMV the file is cut to nearly half the running time. for example a 36 sec AVI exported to WMV comes out at 19 secs ...losing the following 17 secs??? any ideas on where i'm going wrong??? help would be much appreciated

QT does not export wmv files natively. You must have installed one of the flip4mac plugins if you are even getting the demo output of one half the source file. To export the entire file you will have to pay for a registered version of the plugin. More info on the process and the prices is available here:

No option to export as HD Avi

Apologies if I've missed something obvious, either in the programme itself or on this forum, but I just can't seem to work this out.
I am trying to export my movie as a high def avi file. It exports beautifully to a DVD but I can't see any default presets to export to an avi in high def. I have the following options:
DV NTSC standard (no good as I want PAL)
DVD NTSC widescreen (no good as I want PAL)
DVD PAL standard (not widescreen)
DVD PAL widescreen (video size doesn't seem changeable and is only 720x576 i.e. not full HD)
Microsoft AVI (seems to be NTSC)
Uncompressed Microsoft AVI (also seems to be NTSC)
xVid (this seems more changeable than the others i.e. I can change the resolution to 1920x1080, but it crashes everytime)
Any help really appreciated.
I am using Pre9 on a Windows 7 PC. Footage is shot on a Panasonic HDC-SD60 in AVCHD format, imported using Panasonic's HD Writer software. Pre Project settings are Full HD 1080i 25.
Thank you very much.
Peter.

Thanks Steve - very helpful and much appreciated.
I am trying to stream the final file to my television over DLNA.
The TV accepts a number of formats, including those as follows:
.avi (Divx3.11/4.x/5.1/6.0) 1920x1080
.avi (XviD) 1920x1080
.avi (H.264 BP/MP/HP) 1920x1080
.avi (MPEG4 SP/ASP) 1920x1080
.mpg (MPEG1) 1920x1080
.mpg (MPEG2) 1920x1080
.mpg (H.264) 1920x1080
.mp4 (H.264 BP/MP/HP) 1920x1080
.mp4 (MPEG4 SP/ASP) 1920x1080
.mp4 (XVID) 1920x1080
Plus an array of other formats for .mkv, .asf, .wmv, .3gp, .vro, .ts, .tp, .trp
Whilst I could encode at 1920x1080, my Wi-Fi struggles a bit with this, so I will probably take it down to 1280x720.
Any suggestions much appreciated.,
Will certainly take a look at your book. I bought the "Classroom In A Book" by Adobe when I got the software and am amazed at how little detail is in it.
Thanks again
Peter.

AVI or WMV

how would i beable to play AVI and WMV in quicktime. ive been trying to get the answer so i can change these files to an ipod format any help would be great.

QT does not read wmv files so you would have to use some other software to first convert it to a format QT can read. QT does read avi files but does not come with a lot of the codecs people use for avi files. If you have a Video for Windows codec for the avi format you could open it with this freeware Windows program and export it to uncompressed avi for QT to then convert. VirtualDub
You may also be able to use this freeware WIndows program to make iPod videos. I haven't used it myself but other posters have stated that it works with some formats.

AE CS5.5 to Lossless AVI to WMV color change.

I'm exporting a lossless AVI from AE CS5.5 on a Windows 7 machine and the result looks great.
However, I need a high quality WMV file as well, so I dump the AVI into AME and (for now) use the WMV 720p HDTV HQ preset.
The resulting export is really messing with my colors, though. See attached photo. The larger frame is the correct export from AE...the smaller more blue frame is what AME is spitting out...
Any ideas?

The usual Gamma and color shift issues with compressed footage formats, compounded by more generic issues with color calibration (or absence of same) and how different media formats do handle some things differently... Just add an adjustment layer with an additional color correction to unskew the result.

You must update the application. That version will not work properly with the changes made to the OS.

How to convert mov to avi or wmv

Hello,
I just caught a short 30 second clip of my son crawling for the first time with my Canon camera. I want to send the video to my Mom via email however the file is too big. Her computer does not play mp4, which is the only conversion option I found, and walking her through installing a compatible player is useless. So I would like to find out how to convert the mov file to avi or wmv, small enough to email. I just purchased Premiere Elements 10 and never used it. I could not figure out how to do it, so if anybody knows, that would be great.
Thanks.

Safari shuts down on Streaming Video (AVI or WMV)

Any time I go to a site that have streaming video (other than YouTube), Safari and Foxfire will lock up and shut down. It seems to happen when the video being streamed is an AVI or WMV file. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS. It would just go to the page and sit there and I could go back a page, now it locks up and shuts down. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams video using the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the Flash Player plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
