Motion Ourput to be Used in a Flash Movie
I am looking to take my project built in Motion and get it into FLV format.
My software I am using is motion and sorenson squeeze 4.5.
problem is, everytime i export as a quicktime from motion, my text is getting a little bit chunky. then my conversion in squeeze is making it even worse.
can anyone give me any best practices for exporting this video? formats? compressions to use? etc... thanks!!!
one more question:
when i render my movie out (its an irregular size) i now have two black bars on the right and left. i assume this is because i changes the pixel size to square. is there anyway to get rid of the bars or was this a snafu from the begining because i didnt have it set to squares?

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. -
AW/Flash Movie not playing with Skin
We inserted flash movie files (developed in Captivate-saved
as flash 6 with a skin) using the insert flash movie menu option in
AW7.02. We inserted the skin and it also pulls the captivate movie.
We published using 1 button publishing. Our self-executables work
fine. However on the web the skin appears but the movie does not
play. If we imsert the movie alone, it plays but doesn't have the
play/pause/stop/slide bar controls that the skin provides. Any

I had a similar problem a few months ago. I asked one of the
Captivate
engineers. Here's his response.
===================
Open the skin Editor (Project -> Skin...) From the
'Borders' Tab, Deselect
'Show Borders'.
Doing the above two steps will result in only one output file
which will
include the playbar. However, it will overlap some part of
the content.
To use old (Captivate 1 style) playback controls, do the
following:
Open the Skin Editor and from the 'Skin' Drop down combo box,
select 'BMP
Playbars'.
If you wish that your playback control should not overlap the
content and
still output is one file, then do the following.
Turn off the borders (as explained above).
From Project menu, open 'Resize Project'
In the 'Resize project' dialog, Increase only the height by
20 pixels.
In the group below (left hand side, 'if new size is lager'),
select 'Keep
project the same size and fill bg with color' and selct a
color.
Select the position of project as top center.
Do not rescale any objects
In the above way, your output will only be one file and still
will include
the playback controls and the playback controls will not
overlap the
content.

How to Create and export motion data from After effects CC to Flash CC
Hi there ,
Basically what I've got here is as follows.
I have a small character animation (about 100x100 px) - that is running inside a screen of 1280x720 px.
I want to hold the caracter in one position (so that I can get ridd off the useless alpha. i guess i will do that manually by keyframing)
and also to give a motion data to be used in Flash CC - to assemble the original animation.
Can anybody help me out with this?Yeah, that's one of the reasons that we removed it: no one was using it. And it was terrible.
Here's more information:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5555577
Of course, if you _do_ want this feature, it's relatively easy to save the project back to After Effects CS6 and then use After Effects CS6 to create an XFL file. Keep in mind that all Creative Cloud subscribers have access to CS6 versions, too. -
Can i use another storage flash for my apple air mackbook(change from current 128Gb to 256GB without any issue)
There are some upgrade options available from do it yourself sites.

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.
Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip. -
How to use Alcon in Flash Builder 4.5
I am using Alcon as memory and performance profilers.
I searched around the Internet, only found articles that talk about how to use it in Flash:
Debug.monitor(stage, 1000);
But what is the counterpart to this statement in Flex environment? What should I pass to monitor method?
Thanks.Hi
Currently i haven't found any documentation describing how to compile and use this tlfx.
I went through the change log to see what was added, and it looked quite good.
I have tried to compile it, but my experience with fb4 is very limited. I have only worked with it for a couple of months.
I would like a description of how to compile and use this tlfx liblrary in a flex application, so that i can have table supprt as well as support for bullets and numbering.
TIA

Using flex4.1, Flash Builder giving error "flash.filesystem::StorageVolume could not be found."
Hi there,
I'm trying to copy some files to Storage Card on a AIR application. Is this possible with the latest version of the AIR SDK (2.0)?
I am developing in Flash Builder. I have downloaded the lastest flex sdk(4.1) and used it.
Flash Builder then recognises the StorageVolume and StorageVolumeInfo classes. However when I then run the app the debugger throws an error on the following line:
LINE:
var volumes:Vector.<StorageVolume> = StorageVolumeInfo.storageVolumeInfo.getStorageVolumes();
Note: I have imported both classes as well.I'v read the article

I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive. The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power. Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?
You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work. -

Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Leopard to Snow Leopard can i use a large flash drive to backup first?
I've been using Leopard for 4 years with no problems.
Since Google decided to stop support for Leopard, and I use Chrome a lot I decided to upgrade. I won't be upgrading to Mountain Lion right right away. I ordered my Snow Leopard disks from Apple.
I understand that I need to backup. I want to backup with Time Machine before I upgrade the OS, but I don't have $75+ right now to purchase an external hard drive for this purpose only.
Can I use a large Flash Drive to run Time Machine? Like a 32 GB? I know that flash drives have a limited number of writes on them and can go bad, so I am thinking I could just use it this one time to make sure I have a clean backup. If this is possible, then can I set up Time Machine again later when I have an external drive?
Also, I have 2 cores on my Mac, but I have no idea how to use the 2nd core.
I'm also not sure if I need to purchase a specific external drive because I have a mac.
Thanks for the help.If you only need to make a full backup prior to upgrading, I would suggest using SuperDuper, which for creating a full, bootable clone is free. (It is not free when you start needing to make incremental backups, but you won't be doing that, at least not right now.) For a bootable clone, you only need a Flash drive (or external drive) as big as the total size of the utilized space on your hard drive right now, not as big as whatever the entire drive size is.
In the past, I would have recommended Carbon Copy Cloner for this, but it's no longer free or donation-ware and you don't have the budget for both that and some kind of external or Flash drive.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
You might also want to look around newegg.com for inexpensive USB external drives, or even large enough Flash drives. You'll probably find a much less expensive external hard drive than a Flash drive for this purpose.
You do not need to use Time Machine, but even if you did you could just make one full backup to a Flash or external drive and then unmount and disconnect it. An external for TM only needs to be so large because it's constantly taking snapshots of your drive and those add up. But you won't be using it that way.
Anyway, I think you're much better off with a bootable clone, should you need to restore that.
Don't worry about having 2 cores; that's nothing to do with backing up. -

I have Photoshop Eleent 12 and use a Windows PC. I hae been using a Canon EOS 50D for several years, which uses a Compact Flash Card. I have always downloaded pictures by using a card reader wich I connect to my computer. I Go to the Organizer, click on "Import" and select "From camera or card reader". Once on the Photo Downloader, I select the pictures, chose the folder and click on "Get Media" and all the photos get downloaded. Today I folled the same procedure as always, but ZI'm gettig an error message that reads"Import Failed" followed by another message that reads "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this Catalog." I'm puzzled by this message and don't know what to do o get my photos. Any suggestions?
The organizer doesn't care where you send your photos when you download them via the downloader or where they happen to be when you first bring them in if you use the Get Photos command, but once your pics are in the Organizer, you *must* move them from within organizer or it can't find them. You don't have to use My Pictures at all if you don't want to, but regardless of the folder where you put your photos, if you want them someplace else, you use organizer to do it.

When I put it on the first frame it was okay but the next button on that page had the same problem. So what I am guessing is that I have to either create a document class or put the actions where the buttons are. Am I understanding that correctly? In the other thread in which you helped someone else; there was so comments about document class. I found a tutorial on it and the way I understand it is that it you can put you actions in an external document. But you have to include in the event listener the frame in which you want that action to happen.
