Exporting from flash movies without quicktime

I used to convert flash movies in dv (for further editing in imovie or Final cut express). With the latest QT update this is not possible anymore (and a lot of my projects are unreadable...). Anyone knows an (possibly inexpensive) way to convert a .swf file in dv or something else digestible from QT or visualhub? (visualhub relyes on QT support for converting flash movies, so this is not doable...)
Thanks in advance.

Buy a cheap external HD and install an older version of Tiger (and QuickTime) on it. Use http://perian.org and QuickTime Pro to make the conversion.
QuickTime 7.3.1 no longer supports Flash media formats.

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

Exporting from STP to a quicktime movie?

Can anyone tell me why STP exports such a small file size.
Example...
I Send a sequence from FCP to STP as a multitrack project.
I then added music in STP and exported the master mix as a quicktime movie in h.264 format with no compression.
It cam out at just over 200 MB. Which is way to compressed.
So then I exported it from STP to FCP and then exported the same movie as quicktime h.264 uncompressed and it came out at over 2GB.
Seems like a major waste of time having to send it back to FCP just to export a decent size quicktime movie.

When you export your mix "Using compressor" adjust the video compression so it's more to your liking. Or use the preserve Video setting which will pass the video through unchanged from the original.

Exporting Flash Movie to QuickTime Movie...

I am having problems Exporting from Flash to QT. I go through the steps and all appears to going well, except when it comes to the final bars of export, that is when the exporting stops. What is going on here? Any suggestion on correcting the problem? Please help.
boijacks

The same thing happens to me. It is a bug with Adobe Flash. I convert my Flash projects with Visual Hub or After Effects CS4. Handbrake can convert Flash to QT now, but the quality, while acceptable is not as good as Visual Hub which is now out of business.
The other thing that I suggest is lengthen your time when coverting to QT so as not to chop off your video. Then edit, cut the excess time in QT pro.

Export a Flash Movie File

Can you Export Flash Movie files to other formats?? Don see
an Export to other File options.
Would like to Export a Flash Movie or SWF file to a Quicktime
or IPOD MPEG File.
Anyone know where to do this? Do not see an Export to File
option to that Format on Flash Pro CS.
Thanks

Without seeing your movie, its difficult to tell where the
problem may be. My first guess is that the data rate is to high.
You will probably need to choke that back in some way: lower the
data rate for the compressor, reduce the frame rate, reduce the
image size, reduce the color depth, etc.
When you select to export to QT, for example, a new window
opens to let you select some basic settings. At the lower right of
that window is a button titled "Quicktime Settings...". Click that
button and a new window will open that will allow you to set the
compressor, frame rate, quality, etc.

Exporting From FCE 4 to Quicktime in HD

Whenever I try and export my finshed HD project from FCE 4 to Quicktime, it exports fine but is no longer in HD. Its quality degrades by quite a bit.
How can I export from FCE 4 to Quicktime and keep its HD quality?
thanks, will

Hi(Bonjour)!
What is your sequence format?
Do you export a +quicktime movie self contained+ or export +with quicktime conversion+?
What settings (video codec, frame size, bit rate) do you use in the second option?
How do you monitor your exported movie (on your mac, SD TV set, HD TV set, apple TV, DVD, blur-ray, SD DVD)?

Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration. Why?

Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration. Why?
I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps. The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file. How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

joegez,
There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
Hope this solves the problem for you.

Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
.. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications. what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an OS X 10.7.3,
works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

Is it possible to implement files into an InDesign document, that are exported from Flash?

I have worked with InDesign quite a lot, and now I'd like to make an eBook using the software. I don't know much about Adobe Flash, just starting to learn, and I'd like to know if there is a file format exported from Flash that can be used in an epub format document made with InDesign?
(I'm not sure if I gave the right definition of things but I hope you'll undersand.)
Thanks in advance,
Bibi

Hi Bibi,
the quick answer is no. You can place swf in InDesign and that will be honored during a interactive PDF-Output, but not with EPUB. If you try to get some animations to EPUB, you must use HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. This can be done in InDesign CC with the help of Adobe Edge Animate.
But note: There is only a minor support for this feature for different devices.

Can't export from keynote 09 to quicktime

When I try to export from keynote 09 to quicktime 10 I get an error code there is not enough disk space or error 34. I have taken off some graphic intensive files and have 30 GB of space left, but that does not seem to help. Waht can I do?

Until you receive a specific answer from an expert, I would suggest finding somewhere to put unnecessary (or less important) larger files.
Macs need 10% free space to work correctly and 15% is much safer. Any less and you could run into all sorts of unpredictable problems. I think you will find that some of the free space is being used to process your exporting request, so that is multiplying the problem.

Launching FW from Flash Movie

Is there a way to launch FW from Flash Movie when user
presses a buttons?
Bascially, when user clicks a button in Flash Movie, FW
launches and execute some scripts.
Thanks,

Not a Flash expert, but I don't think so. Why do you want to
do this?

Avatars from flash movies

Hi!
I want to create an application that creates small avatars from flash movies. How to solve this task better? It seems that I should receive each change of flash movie...

This forum is about C++ programming in general, and using the Solaris Studio C++ compiler for Solaris and Linux in particular.
I think you are more likely to find an answer in a forum about using Flash. Try adobe.com.

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.

How do you improve quality of QuickTime movie exported from Flash?

Hi
I have designed a Flash animation for a client who has asked me to also provide it in a format which can be used in a film he wants to produce in Apple Final Cut Pro. I assumed the best format would be QuickTime but whenever I export the Flash file in to QuickTime the quality of the film is awful - the graphics leave fragments of themselves behind as they move (if that makes sense?!) and the overall quality isn't very crisp.
I have tried various export settings and followed a few tutorials online but still having no success! If anyone can make any suggestions I would really appreciate it or is there even another file format that can be used with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks for your advice!!

Whenever I export an animation out for video, I always export it uncompressed. It gives a very large file, but then you don't have to worry about it getting compressed multiple times (as the video will be compressed when completed), and I have not had any problems with it.
If you are still having problems with QT export - I have heard reports that setting a time in the export (stop after X time, rather than stop at last frame) will get rid of it.
And, if you still have problems exporting to QT, then I suggest exporting to AVI and converting to MOV with a separate tool.

Quicktime component error exporting from Flash

Hello people
I try to export from Adobe Flash 8 to QuickTime movie, but i get the error on this image:
http://www.junihh.com/goodies/QTerror.jpg
That is the window error in Windows XP (i'm using a Mac skin). I try exporting to QT using in the Flash settings the Flash Player versions 7, 6, 5 and the same.
I need any idea, because i have an animation to convert to video for a presentation, that include music and sound FX.
This is all that i have:
- Windows XP SP1
- Adobe Flash 8
- QuickTime 7.1.3
- No more ideas
Thanks to any help. I appreciate so much.

Flash playback has been disabled (security issues) in
7.1.3 and you'll need to turn it back on.
QuickTime Control Panel/Advanced tab. Check the box
that says "Enable playback of Flash tracks". Quit and
relaunch QuickTime for this change to take effect.
When "Publishing" from Flash you need to choose
version 5. Newer formats will not play in QuickTime.
Hello !!!!
Really thank you, your help working very nice. Now i can export without problems.
Thanks again.
