Exporting flash to quicktime

I have tried exporting from flash to a QT movie using Flash MX AND CS4. Each time I get an error "The installed version of QuickTime does not have a handler for this type of Macromedia Flash movie"
I have changed publish settings to ALL options (including 5) with no success. Any ideas?

Check under the "help" menu in flash... Type "export"in the help search. My help search pops up both Quicktime and Quicktime video.
Version 7 here..... <<<
I followed your instructions. Still no go. Under "help" menu (after typing "export") I have Export Export > Export Image Export Movie Export Motion XML
I am running QuickTime Pro Ver 7.5.5 (249.13)
Thanks for taking the time!
This is killing me.

Exporting Flash to quicktime error

I am trying to export Flash to Quicktime and recieve the
following message -
"the installed version of quicktime does not support this
type of macromedia Flash movie. Quicktime requires Flash 5 or
before?"
I reset the settings to Flash 5 - but still comes up with the
error message. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks Jodi

I'm having the same problem. Every website I find on the
topic simply says to change the publish settings to Flash 5 - but
it's still not working. Anyone have insight? I even uninstalled my
previous version of QuickTime and re-installed the most current
(7.4.5) - no luck.

Flash and quicktime export not possible at all!

hi iwork dev team!
as there was no result on my prev post, here again:
i use keynote'08 4.02 on imac with 2gb and osx 10.5.2.
i created a presentation with 15 slides and over all 16,5 minutes.
each slide has a mp3 sound file attached (the speakers voice recorded externally).
now i am facing following problems on *export to flash* (export is around 18mb):
1) synchronization of voice and effects is different than inside keynote - i fixed this by changing times and export/test cycles, as long until i run sync in swf (please make it sync - this is terrible).
2) starting with slide 13 some objects do not appear - in further slides many objects do not appear. the sound and time is ok, but not much to see. if i split the presentation into 2 parts, the export works fine, all objects appear in all slides, but i found no way to combine those 2 swf files....
3) in one slide i found out that the order of appearing/disappearing objects confuses the swf export, so that many objects afterwards are not at all shown.... i played around long and splitted the slide in 2 slides and with some workarounds i got it show all objects.
4) it would be great if at least some transitions and most effects would be supported and times of effects would be the same inside keynote and in exported swf.
*exporting to quicktime*:
1) first i had one large mp3 for the whole presentation and added it as soundtrack and synced it inside keynote. exporting this to quicktime made it run async. but at least export was possible for the full presentation.
2) i splitted the mp3 for each slide and added each mp3 to each corresponding slide. this way i made it possible to export to swf (see above). but quicktime export now has no sound and slide shows up nearly endless.... qt export is impossible.
what can i do?
at least it would help me if i can export ONE swf file.
best would be if it has same sync inside keynote and in swf - but i can live for now with swf export optimized sync that doesnt work inside keynote. but it should be fixed at least in the future....

I'm currently having a similar problem, where the Flash exported by Keynote seems to randomly miss some objects on the page that appear after a click or a delay. In fact, in one case, I had embedded a EPS file in the slide, and some parts of the embedded file were exported to Flash but not others. I'm using Keynote 3.0.2, so I'm sorry to hear that Keynote '08 still has this bug which makes Flash export pretty awful to deal with.

Exporting High Quality Flash to Quicktime for use in FCP4.5

I am currently working on a interactive DVD production
including various Flash animations. I've tried exporting them as
almost every possible combination of compressions I could think of
using. Every time I import any clip (although seeming smooth in
previews or as stand alone clips...in both flash and quicktime
formats), they always seem to be choppy once imported into Final
Cut Pro 4.5, DVD Studiio Pro , or Motion !!! .
If anyone could give me some advice on what would be the best
compression to use within Flash's export functions , to then be
able to use within FCP 4.5 .... it would be very appreciated ! This
is tormenting me right now !!!!
Thx

You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

Flash CS6, QuickTime: The export operation failed because it ran out of memory.

Exporting a QuickTime movie file seems to be an old issue with previous versions too. In CS6 I always get the error message: "The export operation failed because it ran out of memory." I've got tons of memory and have allocated increasing amounts to the cache with no success.
My small and fairly simple file was created with Flash CS5 which seemed to work fine at the time of creation. I've tried everything recommended online but with no luck so far. BTW, I reinstalled CS5 and tried that too but it just hangs now, and there's no error message.
Does anyone have a solution?
(OS X 10.7.4)

If I may join this discussion... I loaded up CS6 two days ago and have just completed my first 60 second animation using it. Like everybody else here, it all went fine until I tried to export it to QuickTime – something that has never been problematic before.
I ended up exporting it as a swf and opening that in CS4. Then I could export it, but the resulting QuickTime movie was over 500 MB in size! Okay, so then I opened it in QuickTime Pro and exported it from there. This brought the file size down to a far more reasonable 35 MB, but now the soundtrack has gone! So now I am having to replace the sound in Final Cut Pro.
This is a real palaver – and not conducive to heaping praise on CS6 when questioned. I note that there is talk of Adobe rectifying this "bug", but it would be really good to hear from somebody at Adobe with:
a) An apology
b) An estimated time of delivery
c) A best practice work round
But I'm guessing that anybody that works at Adobe will be the last person to read this...

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:

Exporting flash video made with swift 3d to animated gif help

I know there is a new grounds link about setting your publishing settings to get animated gifs to work with flash.
I am using CS4 and when I go to publish the gif works in the html document. But when I export to an animated gif it is still a still picture.
I have also tried to export to a quicktime file and it's is a still picture there too and distorted.
Can anyone help me out? Should exporting to png or gif sequence work as well?

turns out the swift 3d tutorial has you put the animation in a single keyframe within layer one.
so only one frame is shown or created. there go it stays static
now if someone could help me wiht resizing a gif for fireworks i would be the happest person

Exporting Flash to Director WITH video

In Flash, I have created a digital camera, that, when a
button is pressed, the screen changes from showing pictures to
showing a video. This works all fine and well in Flash, however, it
has to work in Director. Now I imported it into Director, obviously
using version:Flash 6, but because of it being version 6, the video
didnt work, so i tried version 7, where the sound of the video
works, but no picture. version 8 isn't supported by the director im
using (MX 2004).
Does anyone know of a way that I can get around this?
Its so frustrating as it works fine in Flash!

On the Mac - exporting to "Quicktime Video" produces a true
video file (fixed frame rate). It is not
an SWF on a track in the quicktime player - Windows users
only yhave the option to export a flash
track to QT.
On the Mac, exporting to just quicktime produces a flash
movie in QT.
The easiest way to tell is to look at the file size of the
SWF and then exported MOV - the MOV will
be MUCH larger - probably hundreds of MBs while the SWF may
only be 100k (give or take).

Flash to Quicktime

I'm in Flash 8 on a PC. I'm trying to export a quicktime
movie, but I keep getting the following error:
"An error occurred because a required Quicktime component
could not be found"
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,

Exported Flash files make annoying clicks in Windows IE

On Firefox and Safari on OS X I can embed a Flash file exported from Keynote in a web page and view it with no problems.
However, at every slide change in Windows Internet Explorer, there is an extremely annoying clicking sound. It seems this is by design in IE -- any refresh is supposed to generate a click, and the change from slide 1 to slide 2, etc., apparently counts as a refresh.
(For what it's worth, in IE the URL is appended with #SlideFrame_1, then #SlideFrame_2, and so on. That suffix does not appear in either OS X browser. The click happens at the transitions from #SlideFrame_n to #SlideFrame_n+1).
I want to embed the exported flash on a web page and auto-run it, but Windows users will hear an irritating click-click-click until they navigate away from the site -- which they'll probably do quickly before they go crazy from the sound!
Any ideas on how to export Flash movies in a way that avoids this, or any tools to modify the Flash file so IE doesn't think it's refreshing?
(FYI -- while I'd prefer to export Quicktime, it's only on about 60% of my site visitor's browsers, while Flash is on over 95%).

Greg,
Have you found a solution for this problem? I too am experiencing the same problems.
Best,

Flash to quicktime to iMovie...

I'm working on a slideshow of a trip to Ghana that some students took. I thought it would be cool to stick an Indiana Jones style map sequence in. I did the sequence in Flash MX and exported it to Quicktime. No problems there -- looks great. I'm doing the slideshow portion of the project in iPhoto. I export the slideshow (also into quicktime), and open it with iMovie. I've done it lots of times before, and I've always been happy with the results. I use iMovie because I'm able to use more than one song. We're talking close to 800 slides here. I've done this several times in the past with smaller projects, but still longer than the one song iPhoto allows (15-20 min). The problem I'm having now is that when I imort the quicktime file of my map sequence into iMovie, it becomes very pixalated. I've tried changing the aspect ratio, but still had the same effect. Does anyone have an idea how I can do this? I've done similar things in the past, and this is starting to drive me nuts!

as far as I know, Flash uses vector grafix, but video is pixel grafix...
video is 720x480, so it can, due to standards, not be as "crisp" as a Flash on a computer's monitor...
I've done a Flash>>video conversion with QTpro once or twice... gave up, never looked acceptable (my standards...).
It is better to do the anims in designated pixel apps as Photoshop, Carrara, Cinema4D, use video-apps with keyframe ability as FinalCutExpress or use cute plug-ins as this one:
Geethree's Travel Log
besides, one of my silly workarounds:
make a mix of your music in Garageband/Audacity/audio edit app of designated length, use THAT in iPhoto...

Exporting Flash for a DVD??? Please help?

Hi there,
I have a flash presentation thats for a supermarket TV screen. Its big in file size 9.6MB. When I go file/export/export movie to quicktime and use the animation settings the file plays but leaves trail lines behind, skips frames and looks CRAP CRAP CRAP!
The quicktime settings I've used are either:
Animation
Quality Best
Millions of colours
All Key frames
24fps
or)
DV - PAL
Frame rate 24fps
Quality Best
I need it to look high quality but I am not sure what settings to use.
Can anyone help?
Please.

You can convert SWF to some movie format like AVI. You have tons of tools available for it.
I am currently working with Croatian television creating some animations.
I use AdShareit:

You can choose anything you like.
Hope it helps.

FCP quicktime "iphone "export diff then quicktime "export for iphone web"??

so what i dont get, is when i export out of quicktime using "export for web" and i choose the "iphone" 900 kbit option, i get 480X270 beautiful true widescreen clips. But when I export using quicktime conversion in final cut pro 6 and i choose" iphone"....i get 480X360. Why does this happen? I want true widescreen, just like everything i get from itunes.....not this 360 size (which i know is the phones screen res, but who cares)?

Earlybird is exporting H264 ... the Key Frames setting is determining the GOP length. This value should really be determined based on the complexity of the video, to my understanding, the actual frame rate has no bearing on it. If you have very complex fast moving content then a low Key Frame rate is advisable to ensure good image quality (although it will adversely affect the filesize) whereas if you have slow moving or static content (like an interview subject) then a higher Key Frame rate will still produce a good image but at a smaler filesize. The default of 24 should be pretty much fine as a catchall starting point.
Earlybird
Corrupted render files (and render references) can be a pain because FCP will use those files and references in place of the original media when building the export. And so it should as it does't want to waste time re-rendering sections that are apparently already rendered. Unfortuantely, as noted, if the render file has gone bad and/or starts referencing the wrong media then you'll get these wierd flashes of completely unexpeced and unwanted footage showing up where it shouldn't be. When you trash those files then QT / FCP will just go back and re-reference the original media ... so it's usually a worthwhile step to take just in case thats the problem. The worse case scenario is that it only that doesn't work and you spend some time unecessarily re-rendering.
As to why these files go bad? That I don't know. Why do Preferences get corrupted? That I don't know either but it definitely happens :-(

Flash to Quicktime MySpace upload problem

Here's the situation:
I have an animation in Flash, that I've successfully exported to a Quicktime .mov file, for posting onto a MySpace page.
Every time I attempt to upload the video, MySpace tells me the video is "processing" for a number of hours - and then, eventually, "processing failed".
I've tried converting the .mov file to .avi and a couple other formats that MySpace also accepts, but the results of the conversion were not satisfactory.
Any idea what would cause the processing to fail? Would uploading the same file from a PC have a chance of working? Help is appreciated - thank you.

Then that is the source of your "troubles" and it will take some more work on your part to get the export to work.
If your Flash file (.swf) doesn't include audio you need only export it to any acceptable file extension used at the hosting site.
That part is easy.
But, if your Flash file uses audio (or any sprite action) you'll need to convert it to other formats.
Exporting Flash will render your file as "video". You may need to adjust it (video track) to remove the sprites (mouse actions).
Then use some third party software (I use WireTap from Ambrosia) to "record" your audio portion and QuickTime Pro to "add" it back into your file.
Too complicated for most users.
But you'll understand if you're a "Pro" user.

Audio not working properly on exporting keynote to Quicktime

Hello everybody,
I've created a Keynote presentation, with voiceover. It runs perfectly when launched in keynote, standalone, but as I try to export it to quicktime, the audio from an embedded video clip (just one out of 3 clips embedded in the whole presentation) stops after a few words (while the other work perfectly).
I'm going nuts! I tried saving the file afresh under different name, redoing the voiceover, tossing and reinserting that clip that stops, and save again, no luck!
Anyone experiencing the same issue?
thanks,

Hello, I have the same problem, my Quicktime movie has some of the audio files but not others. This is for a professional job so the delay while I try various settings is not helping my cause. I thought Quicktime was a well-proven solution!
