Flash movie for YouTube

I'm working on a Flash animation piece that will purely live
on YouTube. I'm wondering what are the best Flash specifications I
should work with to get the best results. The assets I'm working
with are mostly illustrator illustrations and some Photoshop png's
and other elements created in Flash
Currently I'm using:
movie size = 640 x 480
frame rate = 30
exporting = export > export movie> format, quicktime.
I'm not really happy with the results, animation doesn't seem
that smooth and the image quality seems diminished.
Does anyone recommend changes to the above settings or doing
anything differently.
All feedback appreciated!
thanks.

Nope swf's don't work. To clarify the actual .mov is fine, it's just when uploaded to YouTube the quality massively diminishes. I guess their compression is pretty unforgiving. Any other tips?

    make sure you have sufficient drive space on your target drive.  Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free space on your startup drive.  What format is the original quicktime movie?

  • Best way to export flash movie for JAVA

    Here is my dilema. I get all kinds of flash movies to post to our site. I had been asking for a final output of  .swf, whenever possible. Occassionally I get some videos that have a player and I wind up with .swf and some related FLV files, which we always have problems with in our JAVA environment. We have issues locating the player files, sometimes they don't play for people with particular browsers etc.. The coders tell me that it is a problem with the "base" locations, and recommend that we get a single swf file and have the videos and players embedded into the .swf. They tell me that the browser sometimes cannot find  the supporting files, and that it forces them to post the flash files on the root directory. Any ideas what might be happening here?
    One other thing - I currently have an embedded swf file on one of our sites. It seems pretty heavy and skips - our Flash Developer did not include a loader. I sent it back to him to compress the file and include the swf. The developer is telling me that compressing the file won't do anything for me an that we should export it as an FLV file or have the FLV load into the swf. For one thing this is not a video - so I am not understanding why we would need an FLV. Am I misunderstanding something here.
    Thanks!

    Thanks again Winston. (You helped me out in the past).
    In my playing around, I was leaning toward AIC with a compressor pre-set of 1080i or p would give me decent results on export. I'm still a little confused over a number of the other options, and this seemed simplistic. (I'm still learning here as I go).
    One question on that though if you would. Am I best off leaving the FPS settings to current? I am assuming I can experiment with that if I want to keep a computer copy, but for back to tape purposes, that seems to make sense to my simple mind.
    On a side note, I was quite surprised at how good the default "large" export looks when viewed on the computer. I may keep that as my default for iTunes\Front Row.
    Thanks again.

  • Formatting Slideshow movie for YouTube

    Hi,
    How can I create a slideshow for Youtube? I have a group of photos that I want to use to make a movie, and the process works fine. I export the movie from FCP and then use QuickTime Pro to convert it to an .mp4 movie. It plays well, except that the photos appear distorted and of low quality when playing on Youtube, and there is a black band above and below the movie when it plays.
    Any help appreciated....
    Patrick

    The black surround is because YouTube now accepts 16:9 HiDef video and yours is not in that format.
    Ken Stone has a load of articles on prepping video for YouTube, here's one for HiDef:

  • How do I make a movie for youtube playing music with only a title a transition and a single still?

    I want to make videos for youtube show casing music made in Garageband via Imovie, but I am having some problems figuring this out.
    So far I have a title and a transitions, but it makes it only last 5.5 seconds...
    I want to add a single picture for it to transition to, then show for the remaining duration of the video (which is supposed to be 2:20 long).
    How do I do this?

  • IMovie is crashing after creating the large movie for YouTube.

    Hey Guys!
    So, I have been uploading to YouTube from iMovie for several years now and today I uploaded again as I usually do. The problem was that about 30 seconds before the end of my video it went black on YouTube! I deleted it off YouTube and reuploaded but it happened again! So, thinking that it was something on YouTube's end I deleted it but the next time I tried to upload, iMovie gave me this error message: "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )"
    Now when I try to upload, iMovie crashes after creating the large movie to upload to YouTube!
    I have restarted my computer, deleted items to create extra space on my disk, and ejected my iPhone so nothing else happens while I'm trying to create the large movie.
    Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and how to fix it?
    Thank you!

    I'm having a similar problem with Imovie 11.  I wonder if the problem is in the new Mountain Lion update.  Fortunatly, I cloned the drive befor installing the update.  I've cloned this drive back to the original startup drive and gotten back to IMovie.

  • Audio Issue - Using Logic Pro and iMovie to Create Movies for Youtube

    I am trying to use a combination of Quicktime, iMovie and Logic Pro 9 to create videos of me playing/singing songs to post on Youtube.  Before I can ask the question, I think it would be best to briefly explain my process, so here's one example:
    One thing I try to do is video myself playing piano and singing at the same time.  What I do is open up Logic Pro and load my piano sound and arm an audio track that my microphone is plugged in to; I also go to "System Preferences" and click on "Sound" and make sure that my audio interface is selected for the input method.  Then, I open up Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording".  Finally, I open up my software for my interface and set it up for "loopback"...there's a picture below.
    If you look at the bottom of the interface, you'll see it says "DAW 1: Loop Back 1" and "DAW 2: Loop Back 2".  Ideally, this means that whenever I start recording in Quicktime, all of the sounds that I am making in Logic (the piano playing and the singing) will loop back into the computer and be recorded by Quicktime.  This does actually happen, but my question is this:
    I've noticed that the sound quality of software instruments is drastically reduced once they have been recorded by Quicktime (or iMovie) and I play the movie back.  Actual audio files, like me singing or playing a real instrument aren't really affected, but for some reason the software instruments sound very thin once I listen to the audio in the movie.  Why is this happening?  Is there a way to preserve the audio quality to be the same during video playback as it is when I am playing the instruments live in Logic?

    Interesting and convoluted way to get something done.. from what you're describing it almost sounds like the software instruments are somehow getting recorded twice but slightly out of phase.
    When you record your singing are you monitoring through headphones or speakers?

  • FAQ: How do I export a movie for YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV?

    When you export your movie, choose H.264 as the format and then choose the appropriate YouTube, Vimeo, iPad, iPhone, or Apple TV encoding preset from the Preset menu.
    See this video for instructions for using the new and improved encoding presets in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5:
    Adobe Media Encoder Improvements

    I figured out one way to do it.
    I don't know if it's the easiest.
    1. drag the movie from iPhoto into the iTunes movie folder.
    2. in iMovie- go to "file- New Event". Name it.
    3. go to "file- New Project". Name it.
    4. click the iTunes button on right"Show or Hide Music and Sound Effects browser"
    5.Scroll down until you see the iTunes icon and expand the triangle if not already expanded to reveal the "Movies"    icon. Click on it.
    6. Find the movie in the list below and drag it to the new event.
    7. edit and/or drag it to the Project window.
    Go to "Share- YouTube..." follow the prompts.
    It will process the movie and let you post it to YouTube, and give you the option to share it.

  • Teh best settings to export movie for Youtube

    Hi alls - I made some videos, about 6 minutes in length, lots of clips and cuts, that use a lot of effects. Right now they are in DV size, at 29 fps (I think..but I'm sure it's not less). I would like to post these to Youtube, and I have been experimenting with the export options, but I can't seem to get a satisfactory outcome.
    When I export at 12 or 15 fps, you lose a lot of the small, quick cuts, and the resolution I chose was really pixelated. However, this option had the smallest file size.
    I started trying to maybe export it as if I was going to send it to my ipod, but then I started seeing different options for sending it to web, and I just got overwhelmed.
    SOOOO, the question is, if you have a really effects heavy video with lots of cuts, and you want it to look really sharp on Youtube, how would you export it and at what settings??

    Here are some instructions from one of the top experts:

  • The flash permissions for Youtube keep resetting. How do I make them permanent?

    When I set Youtube to use the default setting (Ask To Activate), it resets the permissions. I think this may be because I'm using "Click To Play Per Element" - which is essential on a slower system.
    Anyway, is there no other configuration interface for plugin permissions or any sure way to make it stick?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Edit > Preferences > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

  • Exporting to .mov for Youtube = corrupted file.  Please help!

    Hi guys. Here's my problem. I created a piece of stop motion animation using iStopmotion. The clip is just over a minute long. I imported it to iMovie so that I could add some sound and some fancy titles/credits. At this point, everything appears to be working fine.
    I then export my finished movie as a Quicktime file so that I can post it on Youtube. If I play back the Quicktime file on my computer, it works perfectly. However, as soon as it's uploaded to Youtube, playback stops at a certain point even though the red time bar continues to the full length of the film. You can drag the little time slider past the point at which the film stops prematurely, but it shows nothing but black and snaps back to the premature cut-off point. I've tried exporting the movie as an mpeg4 file instead and the same thing happens.
    I've even tried going back to the source iStopmotion file, editing it by altering the order of the frames near this problem point - yet when I upload to Youtube it stops playing at exactly the same point. I've tried altering every step of this movie's creating several times but it always freezes at roughly the same point when I'm viewing it on Youtube. I have also tried clearing my browser's cache, no success there either.
    My friend suggested that the file had been corrupted somehow. Please can anyone shed some light on this, as I've spent hours trying to get it to work and am not starting to lose my sanity!

    I've just solved my own problem. It's not an issue with iMovie as such, but I will post my solution here anyway in case anybody else experiences the same problem (and frustration) that I did.
    My iMovie project featured a brief 2-second soundclip as the only soundtrack on the whole film. As soon as this audio clip finished, Youtube stopped playing the movie. I assume this is because Youtube assumed the clip had finished because the sound level had reduced to zero. To fix this, I copied, pasted and muted the audio clip using iMovie so that the rest of the film featured a muted audio track.
    This has solved the problem and now Youtube plays my video in its entirety!

  • Trouble converting Flash for YouTube

    I'm using CS5, and I've been trying to convert my Flash animation for YouTube. I successfully converted it to a .mov file...but then things got wonky. Pieces of art from one frame stay throughout the animation, rather than disappearing like they should, and the sound and animation become desychronized. I really have no clue why it's doing this, and Google doesn't seem to be much help...What should I do?
