Exporting to flv or swf

Is it possible to export an anmation made in Dircector MX
2004 to an flv ot swf file? In 'Publish Settings', it allows me to
create a shockwave file, but this creates a DCR file not a swf.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Neal,
As Sean suggested, you can export to a video format and then
convert that to a FLV.
You cannot export to a SWF from Director.
I've converted Director animation to video and the process I
use is to export the
frames as an image sequence, then import these into a video
editing program and I
add the sound there. That way, I can ensure i have the best
quality of the images
and I have total control over frame rate and other video
formatting properties.

On export, embedded flv video restart issue

After exporting my project (either as SWF or MOV), when I play the exported file, the flv video I have embedded in the timeline starts over whenever a motion tween begins in a separate layer. Why might this be happening? I'm using CS6.

Ah, figured it out. Totally my fault- in playback within flash, the video freezes on its final frame, which was the effect I intended, but on export embedded flvs apparently repeat, so I just took a screen shot of the final frame and put that in for the duration I wanted the frame to stay frozen. Your suggestion actually led me to this realization, thank you.

Exporting to FLV with trasparent background

Hello all,
I am finding myself in a bit of a delema...I have hundreds of little movie clips with trasparent backgrounds that need to be exported as FLV's. From my experience (or lack there of) and knowledge, to find the best export settings to create a FLV that looks good with the lowest file size comes down to the good old trial and error method. I've tried numerous different settings and to be quite honest, I can't really tell that big of a difference in the video when it's be exported at 200 kbps compared to 600 kbps. Maybe I'm blind. But, I do notice the size of the file(s) go up quite a bit.
The quesions are...
1. When exporting to FLV's with transparentcys, is it worth it to crop the frame size? I've tried this a few different times and in fact noticed the file size go up after cropping the frame size. One would think that the a file that is "smaller" in dimensions would be smaller in size. Although, I guess it's more about the information being translated in the video.
2. Is there a trick to this exporting to FLV beast?
Thanks in advance!

I'm kind of wondering if it might be better to just include the backgrounds into the videos and export them as H.264
That would be an option. It really depends on what the page looks like that you'd be embedding these into. That's the nice thing about the transparency--you only really have to be concerned with the foreground. But, if your page is something simple, like a solid color, you'd probably get the same visual result by putting a color solid behind your keyed subject in Premiere, and exporting to a non-alpha clip, like an H.264 MP4.
do you know if you can dynamically load H.264 into a swf?
Umm... no I'm just a measly video guy
Seriously, though, you may want to have a look at F4V; that will probably do exactly what you need, as it's H.264 compressed video in an Adobe-ized container format. It's available in the FLV/F4V options you've been working with. Just note that, since it's H.264, it does not support an alpha channel.
Or, could I export to H.264, import the H.264 file back into Premiere and re-export as a flv? I assume I'd still be stuck in the same position at the end of all of that though...
Worse You'll have applied a second round of compression rather needlessly. You can use some third-party trickery to rewrap an H.264 stream into an FLV--I've actually done this before for HTTP pseudo-streaming web videos--but you still won't have alpha.
I think this is just a matter of deciding how you want to fit the videos into the rest of the design. If it were me, and I had the flexibility, e.g. a solid background, I'd forgo FLV and use H.264 in an MP4 container or F4V instead.

How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

First, I'm a complete Flash novice...this is the first time
I've dealt with any FLV or SWF files. So, please forgive my
ignorance on these topics. I have several small AVI files and have
successfully converted them to FLV format via Premiere Pro CS3 and
Adobe Media Encoder. But the client is also asking for SWF files of
the same videos. I've looked and looked for a way to save SWF
files. I tried pulling the video into Flash CS3, and saving as SWF,
but since I know nothing about using Flash, I don't seem to be
doing it correctly...seems like I'm getting just a single blank
frame. I've looked at the dozens of third party programs that claim
to be able to convert FLV to SWF, but the one I downloaded "Free
Video to Flash Converter" generated an SWF file that doesn't seem
to be playable anywhere. If there is a click-by-click method for
using Flash to perform the conversion, I'd be ever so grateful.
Again, please forgive my Flash-ignorance. Thanks for your help.

Why doesn't Flash have a built-in capability to convert FLV
to SWF? It's an obvious need and there are 3rd party programs of
varying quality that do it. Why should people who have already
purchased Flash need to look for something that handles this OK and
then install it on their machines?

Exporting a flv: coming out of Media Encoder CS4 blurry

When I export a flv from Premiere CS4, in the Output plane of the Export Settings window, everything looks fine: crisp and sharp, exactly like the source. However, after the file shows up in Media Encoder, the output becomes blurry. Checking the settings in Encoder, they are the exact same as in Premiere, but in the Output plane, the image is now blurry (source is still sharp). How can I fix this?

The bitrate setting is 1400. When using CS2, I had the same setting, but everything was sharp. But in CS4, it no longer is.

I have update to FCP7 and now I can't export as FLV

Hi,
First sorry for my bad English, this is not my mother tongue.
My problem is the next,
In my PowerMac with FCP6, Flash8 Video Encoder, Flash8 and Quicktime Pro 7, I use to export without problem from FCP as FLV by File / using Quicktime conversion...
Now with my new MacPro with FC Studio (FCP7, etc) and with the upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite Master collection, I can't export as FLV directly from FCP.
Please do I need something else?
Export my videos to FLV files is something that I have to do all the time, almost the 90% of my production finish as FLV.
Any idea, plugin, codec or something??
Many thanks in advance

Hi, I have the same issue??
Even when exporting as an interactive pdf.
My problem is that I am trying to figure out how to export my swf embedded file into an interactive pdf.
I have created an interactive presentation with buttons, effects etc. After which I exported to swf so that all the effects work.
But when placing the swf file back into indesign and exporting again as an interactive pdf it doesn't work at all, all I get is a white screen. (I need a pdf for clients basically, they dont want any swf or flash files.)
Even though after placing the swf file, in the media window I ticked play on page load as well as chose a cover image for the swf file. Still just a white screen when exporting.
To repeat, I need to know how to convert my swf file into an interactive pdf.
Any pointers please would be great I have some swf presentations I need to change into pdf as soon as possible or before tomorrow to be exact before our monthly meeting with clients.
Please help

FLV to SWF to embed in a PDF?

Hi All,
I have been given a pdf (possibly built with InDesign?) and
two flv files. I have to embed the video into the PDF. How do I do
this, or more accurately, what is the best way to do this.
I have Acrobat Professional 8 and the Professional Studio
suite, including Flash Pro 8, at my disposal. I think I need to
convert the flv to swf (how is this best achieved) and then embed
the swf into the PDF using Acrobat Pro 8 (how is that best
achieved)?
The video's are no longer than 1.30 minutes, fairly static
(man speaking at a desk and woman cooking).
Thanks for any pointers.
Nick Barling

With the link tool of Adobe Acrobat you can overlay a link which does nothing.

Adding .flv or .swf in dreamweaver on top of background image

Hi,
I added an image background 1900 x 1200 in dreamweaver, which will serve as my background image for my web site. I would like to incorporate my .flv or .swf on top of my background image. Although, when doing so, the .flv or .swf gets placed under the background image and not on top. How do I place the .flv or .swf file on top of my background image in Dreamweaver CS5.
Thanks

Hi
This sounds as though you are not actually using a background-image but just placing an image on the page. To get any help people will have to see your page and the code, can you provide a link to a live page?
BTW: Your background-image size is way to big for most users monitors, just thought you should know.

AS3: Could we convert .swf into .flv and .flv into .swf

I'm searching for a program that can take an .flv and convert it to an AS3 .swf file. Is it possible in as3, Does anybody have any ideas?
I am not talking about any third party converter software.
Thanks,

Hi swati61,
I'm not sure why do you want to play an swf file in flv player. Will you post it on your website?
If yes, here is a solution:

Is there at all a simple way to set the export size of a SWF?

Need Help!
I created an animated banner for class, using a standard size. It ended up way to small, but all the element and text animation is done. I can easily change the document size, but everytime I try to enlarge the elements, they pixilate and lose all visual integrity (not to mention its enough work to resize between all the tweens that I might as well start over). However, resizing the actual SWF output proves the elements can handle being a larger size without any pizilation or degrading - it looks great much larger than the initial export. Is there at all a simple way to just have Flash 5.5 export the same banner SWF at a larger size? Please help!

you can load (dynamically) your banner into another swf and resize it in the main (loading) swf.

Error code = -32766 when trying to export to flv

I get that error when trying to export to flv using iMovie 08, any idea why I am getting this error?

iMovie 7 allows export to YouTube accounts that would generate a .flv file but I believe that conversion to Flash is still handled by the YouTube upload.
Long ago Macromedia (now Adobe) offered a Flash Exporter that, when installed, added the option to export to Flash Video from any QuickTime aware application. You may have moved that old component from a previous install to a newer machine.
I don't think it has ever been updated to run native on Intel Macs so you would need to run the app under Rosetta.

CS4: No option to export as FLV in Render to Video

Does anyone know why one installation of CS4 would show the Export s FLV in the Render to Video QuickTime settings, but a different machine doesn't.
Flash CS4 is installed on both machines.

Thanks to Sandie - I have the same problem on a PC - it works on my own HP labtop and stationary Mac with XP with PhotoShop CS3 - but the client's Acer toy-machine - CS4 - it doesent work.
Then I did what Sandie did - copy the Quicktime plugin in QTComponents - the file FLV.qtx - and copy to the clients machine - and it's work fine.
Thank you Sandie. I never gues, that I was the Quicktime that make the mistake.

Exporting an flv that doesn't stutter and is a small file size

i know you can make an h264 and change the extension to flv but that doesn't help me with this particular issue: I am working in fcp 5.0.4. I have a two minute sequence. When I use the On2 plug-in and export an flv out of fcp I get a 30 MB file and I need to get it down to more like 2 MB! Plus, it stutters. I've tried 15fps and 30 fps. 15 looked better. How shall i get this file to 1. not stutter and 2. be a lot smaller in file size? thanks so much!

Assistance Setting Presets for Exporting to .FLV

I need assistance in customizing the presets for exporting a file to .flv format. Here is what I need Abode to export TO:
.flv
320x240
4:3
800kbps
29-97 fps
audio - 44 khz 66kbps stereo

Jesse_Martinez(Calvary)
Your requirements are stated as
.flv
320x240
4:3
800kbps
29-97 fps
audio - 44 khz 66kbps stereo
You can accomplish nearly all in Premiere Elements 12, but there is a problem achieving the exact audio sampling rate/bitrate combination that you list.
In Premiere Elements 12, go to Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video and select Presets = FLV - Web Large NTSC Source (Flash 8 or Higher) On2VP6 MP3 FLV
Under the Advanced Button/Video Tab, make adjusts
Remove the link between Frame Width and Height and type in
Frame Width = 320
Frame Height = 240
Bitrate = 800 kbps (kilobits per second)
Under the Advanced Button/Audio Tab, make adjusts
Output Channel = Stereo
Bitrate Settings - now here is where it get tricky...there is no set for sampling rate/frequency = 44 KHz or other. And, there is no audio bitrate of 66 kbps (closest is 64 kbps), There appears to be a sampling rate associated with the export, but viewable once you have the export and look at its properties in a program such as MediaInfo.
Here is what I found
if the audio bitrate = 64 kbps, then the sampling rate is 22.05 KHz
if the audio bitrate = 80 kbps, then the sampling rate is 22.05 KHz
if the audio bitrate = 96 kbps, then the sampling rate is 44.1 KHz
if the audio bitrate = 128 kbps, then the sampling rate is 44.1 KHz
Are there trade offs for you or must you have those exact values that you posted?
H.264 AAC F4V
If you were to export your Timeline as F4V, then you would have the opportunity to set sampling rate 44.1 KHz and bitrate 64 kbps.
We can discuss other not mentioned settings later once we have worked through the core ones.
Please review.
Thanks.
