Importing a 3D scene into Director

Hi,
I am using Director 11.5 for my final year project which I am new to.
I am not starting in Director for a couple of weeks as I am still modelling in texturing at the moment.
However, I would like to occasionally export my scene into w3d file and see how it looks in Director. I am having problems with this.
Can anyone help with some basic steps starting from after importing the w3d file to be able to explore the scene (basic camera control) The scene is outside and has ground, a vertical perimeter wall (textured as trees) and a separate building.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, I now have 3DPI and am just trawling through the docs to get to grip how it works. I am a completely new to this and am still working out how to run the movie so you can view the scene and switch between cameras. Do you have any advice that may help me?

Import not splitting scenes into separate clips

I am having a problem that I never encountered before upgrading to iMovie 6.
When I import my Mini DV footage, iMovie no longer splits it into separate clips with each scene break. And, yes, I have selected the "Start a new clip at each scene break" option in Preferences (I have even tried deselecting it, and then re-selecting it). The separate clips option always worked with iMovie 5.
I end up with one long clip, and have to spend extra time manually splitting it up. Very annoying.
My camcorder is a Samsung SC-D351.
Any thoughts?

Thanks, David and Robert. Robert got me thinking in the correct direction, and David came to the same (correct) conclusion that I did.
Because the problem first happened after I upgraded to iMovie 6, I wrongly assumed it must be a software issue. However, the problem was indeed the camcorder's internal clock. When I checked the info on the last (uber-long) clip I had imported, it told me the create date was 2017.
Once I replaced the camcorder's internal battery and reset the clock, all was well. So, I feel a bit like a dummy. But thanks for letting me bounce my question off you, and for steering me in the right direction. Hopefully this thread will help somebody else with the same problem in the future.
Oh, and thanks to Smtr for trying to help.

Importing/exporting movie scene into a website

Hello,
I am extremely new to Flash. I followed a tutorial on You Tube to create images that would fade in and out. I am using a set of 4 images. It works fine but now I need to put it in a website that is being created from a template. I know it may not work with the template but I don't even know how to begin to get it from Flash. I hope I explained this good enough, if not I will try to answer any questions to explain it more.
Thank you,
Idahoperson

click file/save as and save your fla to a directory that you can find. then click file/publish. open the directory where you saved your fla. you should see, at least, two other files there; an html and a swf file. if you're loading assets (like image files), they should be in that same directory or subdirectory.
upload the html and swf (and needed assets) to a directory on your server and navigate to the html you uploaded.

FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.

Trouble Import Flash MX into Director MX

Hi I am newbie.
I had made a flash mx movie named main.swf. In this flash, i
put a movieclip that loads a video named video.flv from a folder
named Video.
If i run my swf (with flash player), it works. I mean, the
video is loaded.
But the problem is, when i import that main.swf to director
MX (I choose Link as external file), and I run the director, the
video is not loaded. The main.swf file is appear, but the movie
clip which load the video,
didnt appear.
Did i miss something? i put the dir file, eg tes.dir, and its
projector (tes.exe) in one folder with main.swf. So in that folder,
there are tes.dir, tes.exe, main.swf and a folder Video which
contains video.flv.
didnt appear
Please help me...

> I am running MX 2004 and am experiencing the same
problems with my swf files when loading them into director. Maybe I
am just missing a step.
It's difficult to know, since you didn't answer any of my
other questions.
Have either/both of you installed the 10.1.1 update that
provides Flash
8 support? <

Pulling fla source into director

Does anyone know how/if you can pull a flash movie(s) into
Director and edit them within Director?
Here's the situation. I have three flash movies that I have
the source for (fla) that make up a preloader, the main movie and
an exit scene. I have been asked to convert the intanet web page
into a CD for distribution. Is there any way that I can pull the
FLA's into Director and be able to edit them from within the
Director console? I do not just want to import the swf. I would
like to be able to convert a Flash file into a dir file.
Any help would be appreciated.

I appreciate your help, Sean. So I can't pull the source into
Director. I guess it's off to Amazon to pick up a Director Book.
A (very) short overview:
I have three swf movies that comprise a preloader screen
(zipping images and whizbang text) that fades into the main
interactive movie. The main movie is basically an in-depth web page
(all 17mb of it) with images, text, and animations. When you click
exit, you are directed to a third credits movie. This was all
developed in Flash a while ago and has been periodically updated.
Now, the 'boss' wants to be able to market what we've got
when she's at conventions, meetings, etc. She likes the intranet
page so much that she wants the content put on CD for distribution.
I need to take out some of the proprietary stuff and add a few
other links, e-mail addresses, change around some text and add some
video clips.
After researching, it seems that Director is a better way to
go for this purpose than Flash. I guess I can still make the
projector in Flash but the more that I read up on Director, the
more that I am impressed with it's ability to easily distribute
this kind of media.
Not only that, but I guess that I am kind of proud of my
creation. I like the fact that Director is so much harder to
decompile than Flash.

"Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." Lost whole timeline.

Please help me - I have been working on a Flash CS6 file for a while now, and just got the message "Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged." The file is not big, all it contains is 3 layers - one embedded video FLV file and 2 layers on top that only contain brushstrokes. The file is on my external hard-drive and now I get the message when I open it on either of my computers. I read feedback that I should re-link or re-import my assets, so I re-made the FLV file and imported it to replace the old one that it said couldn't be found. The problem is the timeline is completely empty. Even once I import the new video, the timline only has one "layer 1" with only one blank keyframe. Where is the rest of my work? I am good with backing up but was just away for a week and got a lot of work done so I couldn't back it up until I was back home... and obviously that isn't happening now.
Please help if you have any idea where my work has disappeared to.

Hi GregirArt,
Can you please check your PublishSettings.xml file whether is there any duplicate profile entries?
You can check the same by renaming your .fla to .zip and extract the zip file to open the PublishSettings.xml
If you find multiple duplicate profile entries then please remove all the duplicate entries from the file and rename the file back to .fla and see if that helps.
Thanks!

Flash CS5 Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged.

Hello everyone!
Just bought the new CS5 Flash and was eager to begin my first document. I opened a new document Saved As to begin and then setup my basic page with only one imported graphic. Hit Save and received an error message: Could not load scene into memory. Your document may be damaged. When I closed and reopened the document this same error appears twice in my Output Menu.
I have noticed other people with several of simular issues and am not sure where to start to find an answer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Biddler1

Thought I'd add to this since I have a file with a similar problem. I'm carrying the files home to work on in the evening. I've noticed at work that when I update an image in the library flash shows me a path going all the way out to the root of the network share and then back to the file. The file is just one folder away. Maybe Flash has recorded an absolute path instead of a relative path to the asset.
At home, Flash can't find the asset at all since it's recorded a non-portable path.
The question is, if the asset has been imported to the project file, why is flash checking the original in the first place?

Damaged Flash CC files ("Could not load scene into memory.")

I just installed Creative Cloud the other day, and had the following problem immediately.
I create a brand new .FLA and import a few assets from another person's Illustrator CC file, then write some ActionScript for basic interactivity. I can work for hours with that file. But when I save, quit and reopen the file (either 2 seconds later or the next day), I get a warning that says "Could not load scene into memory. Your file may be damaged." The library is empty, no instances of symbols on the stage, nothing. I can't open the file with Flash CS6 or anything: it's shot. I repeated the process several times with brand new Flash files, but always get the same results. I even deleted everything and reinstalled and still got the same results.
I switched to using Flash CS6, but when I imported artwork from Illustrator CC, I was getting corrupted artwork and periodically I'd get an error that said something to the effect of "You can't import artwork from a newer version of Illustrator into Flash CS 5.5. (WTF? I'm in Flash CS6.)
Any ideas? I'm on a Mac, OS X 10.8.4. Thanks very much.

Hi Gregir ,
Is it possible for you to share the file or the illustrator assets with us? We can take a look and get back on it.
Can you check the size of the PublishSettings.xml file which would be present after unzipping the zip created from the fla renaming it as .zip.
Thanks and Regards,

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unable to import video from camcorder into iMovie HD

I am using a Mac mini PowerPC G4 (1.5). I recently bought a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 106E camcorder that uses DVD discs. The camcorder has no Firewire (iLink) output so I have inserted the DVD into my external DVD writer/player. I can play the footage via the Mac Mini's DVD player software but I cannot import the video clips into iMovie HD.
The icons on the DVD appear to be PC files and are not compatible. Does anyone know how I can take off the footage I have shot and get it into iMovie HD, please?
My secondary thought is that maybe I need to be able to convert the footage clips into Quicktime files, maybe, but I don't know how to go about this, if, indeed, that is the solution.
Please, please help
regards, Huguenot

Your camcorder is incompatible with iMovie 5, which is designed to use DV streams from tape, imported via firewire.
If your camcorder uses DVD disks it likely produces files in mpeg2 format, which is the standard, compressed, final delivery format of a DVD and is not intended for further editing, and cannot be imported into iMovie 5.
I am a bit puzzled as to why you chose that camcorder!
Ideally you should take it back and exchange it for a camcorder that records onto mini DV tape and which has a firewire output.
As it is, firstly you cannot import the footage due to lack of firewire. Secondly, in order to use iMovie at all you will have to convert the mpeg2 files into a DV files which is what iMovie uses.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
But any way you do it, there will be penalty in terms of quality.

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

Which version of Illustrator are you using?
In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …
