--Flash to Premiere--

Hi there,
I am using a Dell computer, running windows vista, has
plenty of space. I have both Macromedia Studio 8 (which means Flash
8) and Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.
I'm trying to export video out of flash, and import the
video to Premiere to use in a video I'm building. I have tried
exporting from Flash .avi, .mov, picture sequences, everything.
When I import these into Premiere, it imports fine, however when I
put the videos on the timeline, the videos are black.
I thought I'd fiddle with the setttings, to no avail. The
best setting is an .avi one, and I can get a little bit of fuzz,
however it doesn't look good at all. The exported Flash files look
fine when played regularly (on the quicktime viewer), however when
I put them in Premiere, it's always black.
I thought this was a problem with Premiere, however I tried
to import the files to After Effects too, which didn't work. I also
downloaded other quicktime and .avi files from the internet, which
imported into Premiere just fine (and looked great). So, I'm
thinking that it's a problem with Flash.
I browsed the internet, which said that exported Flash files
are not a real video format when you're using windows (damn you mac
users! I'm jealous!)
My question is if anyone has any ideas or tricks to get
around this.
Thanks in advance,
~Annie

My suggestion: export from Flash as an image sequence (PNG).
That will give you a long sequence of stills. Then you'll have to
batch-convert those to TGA format (can be done quickly and easily
in Photoshop, using automation). Then you can import the image
sequences into Premiere, tagging the first image as "image
sequence". This method ensures the best possible quality for each
and every frame. It's the method I've always used to bring Flash
movies into Premiere. Quicktime just has too many quirks and
settings to worry about.

Flash animation - premiere export issues

Hi.
I am trying to find the best way to export animation from Flash CS4 in order to edit in Premiere CS4.
I want the quality to be as good as an swf.
I have tried exporting as bitmap sequences at 72 dpi and 720x576 32 bit/alpha , quality 100.
In Premiere I have a project which is defined as Pal 720x576
I have interpreted all my footage at 25fps and changed the pixel aspect ratio to d1/dv 1.0940 to match
I export :
Microsoft Avi
Video codec - none
720 x576
Frame rate : 25
Feild Tyoe : Lower (progressive makes things worse)
Aspect:d1/dv 1.0940
and\render at maximum depth
My first shot is a zoom in that gets very blurry and not clean, the rest just loses quality
This is for tv and internet - and I was asked to work in Pal 720x576
I'd aprreciate some guidance - if there is a better way to export from both Flash and Premiere to improve quality I'd be very grateful.
Thanks

Flash or Premiere better for animations and movies in web design with Dreamweaver?

Hello,
I am recreating my personal website, and need to know which program (Flash or Premiere) is best to create animations that will be brought into a prerendered scene from 3ds Max. I have modeled television monitors that will flash and flicker with icons and text, but bringing video and animation into a scene like this for web developement is beyond my experience. I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to redo my website, and during my education we were never shown how to bring in this type of animation to a website. I do have experience with all of the above mentioned programs, unfortunately its far from an experts understanding. Any help is greatly appreciated, and if more details and information is needed please feel free to ask questions if my rambling is confusing.
Many Thanks!

Unless you are animating vector elements and/or buttons (which would suit Flash), either app can be used.

Flash in Premiere Elements Image Quality issue

Hello,
I've decided now that I am going to create animated films in Flash and then edit them in Premiere Elements. the problem is, is that when I export it from Flash to Premiere Elements the Image quality is detiereoreted (i.e fuzzy, blurry, out of focus, general ugly to look at). I first realised that I couldnt use an swf file in Premiere and isntead I should use an AVI. So I did. Problem is I'm still having the same problem. the Image quality is still terrible and doesn't equal up to the origonal image quality. And then tried Uncompressing it and all that did is make the video clip jump over about 80 frames and still the image quality is terrible. Is their one little thing that I'm doing wrong or Am I altogether not getting this right.
Programs I'm using:
Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0
Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0 (currently not working)

The MS DV CODEC should be installed on your system already. Whether Flash can Export to it could still be an issue. I'll have to check my version of Flash (think that it's Studio 8, but I've had it around from version 2) to see what all of the options are.
I've been handed many Flash animations that were Exported as .MOV with the Animation CODEC, and these have edited fine.
Other than the huge file sizes, AVI [Uncompressed] should work fine too. You might have resource issues, but that would depend on your system, more than on your NLE. I've used these with no issues many times.
Another likely candidate would be the free Lagarith Lossless CODEC. I use it for intermediate transfer and it edits fine in PrPro. I would assume that it would be the same in PrE, but cannot verify this.
On Monday, I'll be on my workstation with Flash and will tell you the exact version, plus the Export options available.
Good luck,
Hunt

Black Flashes in Premiere and on Final DVD

I was not too concerned about the situation in the Source Monitor when about every 4 seconds I see a very fast, but obvious (nonetheless) Black Flash/Flicker on the screen. I thought it may be just a playback/RAM thing and that it would not go onto the final DVD burn. However, that was not the case, the Export, Burning and Playback of the DVD carried the Black Flash over. I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014. The footage is a mix of a Canon XH A1 and a Panasonic GH3. I have tried Square Pixels, NTSC and just a host of things that I lost track on, but it is annoying and obvious and has to be fixed. I am hopeful that there is an easy answer -- Please Help!!!

Same issue here exporting to MPEG2. I'm using Premiere Pro CC 2014 on a Mac Book Pro. My source video is AVCHD. I'm getting a frame of black at a regular interval of 1 second.This only occurs with Premiere Pro CC 2014. My older version of Premiere Pro CC exports it fine.

Creating Website Flash in Premiere

First, I have to admit I hate working in flash CS5
I have to create flash slide shows that change very frequently for our web site. I have created various 648 x 280 images in PS and then use premier to create a video and export it to FLV4. What I cannot figure out is a way to play it on the website. Seems I need to convert the FLV4 to SWF. I do not need the video to link to other pages, just play and loop.
Any ideas would be appreicated.
Bob

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I was able to make the project work in both Flash CS5 and Flash Catalyst.
Flash Catalyst was a quick fix to getting the Premier video into a SWF that I then loaded the php code into the web store.
Flash CS5 Pro did the same thing and facilitated adding clickable links along the video timeline. This was accomplished by basically doing all the wrong things according to tutorials and advise. Here is the process.
Develop a video sequence comprised of flat art and/or video in Premiere Pro. You can use all of the transitions and effects to create a video that is appealing and alluring.
Export as a FLV (note, not FL4 as it will not load on the timeline)
Open FL and import the video from your computer file
Select the second option to load the video on the timeline as SWF. Note, this lets you add an action track at the frame transitions so that you can assign a URL to that segment of the video
Use Code snipets to add the URL go to action and change the URL to the page you want in the action center. Copy that action frame and paste it into the frames associated with that segment. As a suggestion, if you are like me, all the majority segments have the same duration, so you can copy the keyframe sequence and paste it into the frames associated with the other segments. Then change the url in each segment by selecting all the frames and changing one to the URL you want. It will change all in that segments action track.
Export to SWF.
If you are using it in an html page, you will have all that you need. In my case, I upload it to the server and then reference it in the php code.
Again, thanks for all the help!
BTW, the issue with using a exported SWF relates to audio sync with the video. Since I do not use sould files for my work, it is not an issue.
Regards,
Bob

What are these green flashes in Premiere Elements 7?

I am getting green flashes on my video in PE7. These green flashes are not there when I view the video using Windows Media Player. The green covers the entire picture, and then goes away over the course of less than a second in most cases. I burned the video to a DVD and played in a DVD player to see if it was only while in PE7, but they were burned to the disc that way as well. If you need any other information to help, please ask.
Thank you!

A lot depends on what kind of camcorder your video came from and how you got it into your computer -- and which settings you selected when you set up your Premiere Elements project.

Cs4 Exporting Flash to Premiere Pro has blurred edges on objects

hi! I'm trying to take a simple flash animation (with vector shapes drawn in illustrator) and put it in Premiere Pro with some music. I want to make a DVD of several clips of different kinds. The problem is when I import the SWF (24fps) and export it as an AVI, it looks terrible. The mpeg2 doesn't have the mismatched/blurred pixelated edges, but it is all poor quality. How can I do this with the best quality possible for DVD? (I can't get a quicktime player for some reason either) HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLP!!
Thanks a million ya'll!!
<3 Suzy

The swf is 1920 x 1080 and looks perfect when played in Flash Player. It looks good in PremPro, but not after it's exported through the render queue in any format it seems.
I tried to use the same size sequence settings, and I also tried to resize it (scale) to 720 x 480 in PremPro. I also tried varying ther frame rate (orig Flash is 24) but i tried 29.97 then 24. No luck!
I cannot figure out how to export an flv from Flash. When I File>Export I get avi, swf, mov, and a few others but not flv. I'm googling like craazy, but it's so much more helpful to talk to someone. Thanks for trying to help me.

Flash to premiere cs3 then export to HD

Hi
What i need to do is Create a Flash swf, then import to premiere through third part plugin (flash ants, is this good?), then add some audio, then burn it to DVD.
The issue is getting the a good quality video from the export from premiere. i have tried to export as HD 1080i 25 high quality but when i play back the output its all jittery is this due to my machine, i have a pretty grunty one though.
Eventually i would like to create a dvd but it looks like you cant have HD when using Encore so how do i retain the quality?
Also what size should i make my document in Flash. i have tried 720x480 but this proved to be insufficient. i tried doubling that and then shrinking in premiere which seemed to work quite well when exported ad HD (thou jittery).
The reason i want to do this is because we have an expo coming up and i want to create a profile for business i work in. This profile will be displayed on a 40inch HD LCD and run from a DVD where the dvd will have to loop.
The only programs i have are adobe create suite CS3 so we will have to work within these limitations.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated
Thanks

My best advice is to create the whole thing in Flash and run it from a Laptop. Just skip the whole 'video' idea on this one. It'll ruin your whole day.

How do I publish a video in flash from Premiere Elements 13?

I've created a video I wish to publish on my website using flash, as I have with previous videos. However, I no longer see flash as a choice unto itself. If I choose "Flash Video for YouTube," the warning pops up that "The video duration exceeds the maximum duration supported by the destination." It's not actually for YouTube, but I don't see any obvious was to create flash output other than for YouTube.
In previous versions, flash output was an option with no (practical limit) on the output size.
Is there some option/choice I'm missing?
Thanks!

ABC_Digital
No flash video export and no workaround that I have ever seen for this Premiere Elements 13 situation.
Premiere Elements 13 no longer offers the Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video as last seen in version 12/12.1. It is what it is. No workarounds
that I have seen. Even the webDVD feature has been removed from Premiere Elements 13.
Other considerations in what you wrote
a. Premiere Elements' built in feature has its file size and duration limits (for 13/13.1) 2.2 GB and 15 minutes. YouTube extended time accounts do not
work in the Premiere Elements built in feature.
b. Use of the YouTube preset "flash video for YouTube" uploads the Timeline content to YouTube where YouTube does the file conversion to flash format
for display there. Any copies of your own uploads to YouTube have been available, but as .mp4 and not FLV or F4V.
That is what I have been able to put together with regard to the questions that you presented.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Encoding to Flash in Premiere Pro 2.0 - encoding time

I created a project in Premiere Pro 2.0 and attempted to use the Export ---> Adobe Media Encoder option to make it into a FLV video for posting on the web. I chose the "FLV8 NTSC 400K" option in the encoder.
This is a 10 minute project. It took 1 hour and 58 minutes to encode!
I'm running a 4 or 5 year old program (Premiere Pro 2.0) on a 4 week old laptop with i3 processor and 6MB of RAM. So I don't think the machine isn't up to the task.
Is this typical that a 10 minute video takes nearly 2 hours to encode to FLV? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance for your advice.

In my case, this is 3 physical (not partitions) SATA II HDD's, where I spread the I/O load over all three.
C:\ OS, programs
D:\ Projects w/ Scratch Disks
E:\ Media and Page File (this system)
In the particular case above, the test Project happened to be on my E:\, along with the media, and my Page File. That is not how I normally work, but decided to leave it alone, for this timing test. It is obviously not the ideal, when it comes to "spreading the load," and is not my recommended scheme. The Export was also to that same E:\, so there should have been a bit of an I/O bottleneck there.
I also went against my normal workflow, as I did not shut down anything, including AnitVirus, spy-sweeping and pop-up blocking, plus I had 5 tabs open and active in Chrome (my browser). Again, this should have created a bit of a CPU bottleneck.
Still, with all those things being done in a less than ideal situation, the time was pretty good. Not sure how much I could have shaved off the Export process, had I set things up in my normal fashion, and created an ideal environment.
Sorry to not define the terms early on.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I prevent imported Illustrator files from have the jaggies in Flash.

My imported illustrator files have straight angled pipe lines and these have the jaggies when exported from Flash to Premiere or QT.
I have imported them as both vector and bitmap with no success. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm on a Mac running 10.8.2 and using Flash CS5.5.

Mike

Here is a list of caveats from Adobe concerning Flash & Illustrator vector art.

What's the difference between flash and premier

I know Flash is usually used for game production and Premier for video creation, but I saw poeple also can use Flash for video production as well. So I need to know what are the differences between the two of them.

Flash is used most often for animation, and especially interactive animation.
Premiere is used for video production, but with certain limitations, such as version support, or lack of it, can work with Flash animations.
There is some cross-over, just as there is with Premiere and After Effects, but each program has specific uses.
Good luck, and that is the very short answer. Others will likely be able to give you a point-by-point difference between Flash and Premiere.

Best flash movie settings for HDTV playback

I am creating a flash video for a trade show for my company
for the first time, and we are bringing a large HDTV to play to
movie. Do I need specific settings in flash in order for it play
corectly on a large HDTV? I have never before created a DVD using
Flash, Adobe Premiere and Encore either. What are the best file
size an settings for optimun playback?

Getting your stuff out on TV or DVD or whatever means you need to experiment and see what works best.
Make misstakes, encounter unforseen issues, these are the best learning school.
Oh and get yourselve some dvd-rw´s for testing.
For the HDwmv 720P wil do just fine (i am not sure Pro2 can do this). I use them to. I have my pc hooked up to a HD projector via hdmi. Looks great on a big screen.

I cant download after effect and flash cc

I clicked download button (free trial)
but My creative cloud isn't work
so I did re install but nothing changed
some programs (flash CS6, premiere pro (can't uninstall), illustrator cc, photoshop cc) can install
I dont know why flash cc and after effect can't install
Win7 32bit

One reason that might be the cause for the failure to install is that the newer versions of some applications require a 64-but system. You indicate your system is only 32-bit. Check the system requirements against your machine to see where they don't match.
