Optimal export properties for Flash

I'm trying to export a 2m34s flash for my website, but I keep test exporting clip that play strobbing because they'Re too heavy even if they are much lower size then many Quicktimes I've exported and played fluidly.
What would be the optimal setting for exporting a low res Flash and then a High res Flash 1920x1080 from an uncompressed HD AVI 10-bit with AIFF 24-bit stereo 48 000 ?
BTW I make my exports with AE not AME.
Thank you.

You might think about dynamic linking your AE comp into a Premiere Pro in order to use AME.
"HD" on the web is subjective and if you're looking to get it up as a stream and not progressive download there are various things to consider.
One resource I like to recommend is here: http://store.creativecow.net/p/64/internet_killed_the_video_star
I hope this helps,

Exporting subtitles for Flash cue points

I want to not just create subtitles, but use them in Flash video and other cue-point supported applications for distribution on the web. Is there a way to export my subtitles created in DVDSP to a standard stf or other document? Or do I have to use external software and then export for Flash, DVDSP, etc? If I have to use a third party, which one works best? I've seen many in the Apple Downloads section...
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Sigmundo,
At work ( disturb media ) we've finished a karaoke flash project. I haven't used Soundbooth then, we had limited time, so I wrote a few handy commands for flash that took care of the job. Hopefully we will be able to document that, right an article and share the commands as a packed extension.
I've learned Soundbooth over the weekend and FLVCuePoints was one of the highlights. I've used FLV
and everything worked out fine. I didn't know the Media(Flash Video) Encoder allows you open an xml
file and insert cuepoints at that stage.
Anyway,
About F4V, Lee Brimelow has a more detailed post about the cue points bug here:

Rendering / Exporting Animation for FLASH

Hello Friends,
Some time ago I made an animation in After Effects CS3 and either Rendered it or Exported it as an SWF. I then Imported it into my Library in my FLASH CS3 movie and all was terrific.
Although I have spent the last four days going through everything I can think of, I cannot for the life of me recall how I did this. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Many thanks in advance!

Hello Mylenium,
THank you very kindly for your tip.
This was one of the very firast things I tried.
Unfortuanely, I got the following prompt:
"Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem.
This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application."
I have not yet figured out what it means. Never saw it before. If you or anyone has any idea, I would be very grateful hearing from you.
I thank all who can lend some advice.

Exporting file for Flash Catalyst use?

Hey everyone. I've made a video in Flash Pro, and I want to be able to play it in Flash Catalyst. I'm using 5.5 of both versions, btw. I export the Flash Pro video to a .mov file and then use Media Encoder to make that a .flv file. I bring that file into FC and publish to web. However, when I put those 'deploy to web' files on my website, the video doesn't play. Everything else works except for the video. So I put a generic, short .flv file that I downloaded from the internet into my FC file. I published it to my website again, and everything worked fine. The video played. So obviously the problem with my video must be in the encoding process.
How should I do this? I read one article online that said when I export a .mov file for FC, I should make sure that I don't have 'Fast - Compressed Header' selected in the Streaming options. Well, I checked and I don't. It's just under regular 'Fast'. So what am I doing wrong here? I've even tried converting my .mov file to a f4v file, and that doesn't work. Help here would be so greatly appreciated.

Ah. I think they just tested the .html file. Though, they were trying nearly everything yesterday, so they might have tried the swf file, too. I'll ask him this afternoon. There's a webpage included in both deploy-to-web and run-local folders. Both are entitled main.html. I'm looking at both codes in Dreamweaver to see what would be different, how the code is calling to the flv video, and I can't see any change! I switch from one code view to the other, and nothing is different. The only difference is that in the video size area, the html file from the run-local folder is bigger. So obviously something more was put into the run-local html file, but what I don't know. I can't figure that out from the code. Here's the code from the run-local file, though it looks the same in the deploy-to-web html file, too.

But I don't see anything where it calls to my bathinline.flv file. Yet this one plays just fine. I've played both .html files, and only the run-local html file plays fine on my computer (not viewing from website this time). So I agree with you that I think it's a pathing issue on the deploy to web thing, but I have no idea what. The code isn't showing any difference.
Any more ideas. You've been really, really helpful so far!

Best export settings for Flash

Hello,
I am trying to export a video to Flash for uploading to the web. I am using Sorenson Squeeze to convert the file to Flash. What is the best export settings in FCP for this. I don't want to encode the file twice.
Thanks in advance.
Pete

What format is your original material and what format is your sequence? Generally speaking, export with sequence settings. This will not add any additional compression.

Specify 'test' properties for Flash Player?

New here so not sure if this is in the right area. Also not
sure if I'm missing something obvious? - Just wondering if there's
a way to be able to test a movie from flash and specify that the
player only utilise the most basic of host machine properties i.e.
use only the 'standard' fonts on the machine, etc? Would be handy
for making sure I've embedded all the fonts I should have without
having to disable the fonts on my machine first.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

If you are converting to AS3 then I believe you will want to be aiming for a player numbered 9 or higher, since versions 1 thru 8 do not support AS3.
If you have not completely converted the file it will most likely hang on any coding error in the file.

Optimal export settings for filesize?

I have a 3 minute 30s movie, 30 fps, put together from clips that I captured using camtasia studio. It's 676px x 408px.
I've edited it together in premiere cs4, but I'm having issues trying to get a good balance between filesize and quality. The best I manages with quicktime was 60mb while retaining quality, the best with mpeg-2 was 122mb.
This is out of my area of expertise but those numbers seem high. I created a quicktime version that was 30mb, but the quality was terrible,
Please could anyone give me some suggestions on which codecs and settings I should be looking at to try and get the filesize down?

I find H.264 to give me the best quality with the smallest file. But there's really no magic formula here. Trial and error is the name of the game when it comes to specific settings.

Exporting for Flash

I'm trying to export a motion graphic for Flash, but when I export as Lossless + Alpha Channel, I still get a black background behind my graphic that prevents me from compositing it in Flash. However, the same .mov that I exported composites without any problems in Shake... anyone know how I can get this to work correctly (in Flash)?

I have a hunch that this is a Flash issue, more than a Motion issue. Flash is not likely to support alpha channels in video, as it converts video to FLV anyway.

Best export for flash video

I have completed an edit of a 7 minute teaser for a feature film and need to export it to be displayed online in a flash player. The footage is HD 1080i, 29.97fps and edited in the Animation coded. My experience with best exports for flash conversion is very limited so please bare with with.
1) Is it possible to export directly from FCP to a flash file? If yes, would that be a good idea, or should I use third party softwares for better results?
2) Which third party softwares are recommended for flash conversion? And what export compression should I use in FCP for best flash conversion results?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the best quality for flash video display?
Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I have quality HD video that I want to export for flash, I compress it with h.264 codec. Then, with the new version of Flash, you can swap out the .mp4 extension for .f4v and your good to go in Flash. Quality looks pretty good at a fraction of the file size.

Exporting/Loading properties for Multiple Numeric steps

So, my test uses quite a few 'Multiple Numeric' test steps.
I am just looking at using the property loader to import all of these limit values.
Now as i understand each test step in the property file (excel im y case) must have multiple columns (for each index in the data array)
I also understand that the easiest way to generate the excel properties file is to export it before adding the values.
Now, I am using the 'tools - import/export properties' window, and i try to add Step.Result.Measurement[x].Limits.Low but it is not available.
There is an entry for Step.Result.Measurement[?].HighExpr, so i can add that, then change it to [0], [1] etc
Is there not a way to add all of the array items at once?
I need '.comp' '.Limits.Low' '.Limits.High' for each array element.
Have i missed something obvious?
Labview 2010, TestStand 2010

Hi, I;m using 2010.
I'll give a more specific case:
In one of my multiple numeric tests i have the limit expression : Step.Result.Measurement["ck1+"].Limits.High
(I even tryed removing the alias and using : Step.Result.Measurement[0].Limits.High)
This can be found in the expression browser tree.
But this does not appear in the tree of expressions when using the properties import/export window.
The only items that do are: Result.Measurement[?].Limits.LowExpr & Result.Measurement[?].Limits.HighExpr
i have tried manual editing entries there, but they are ignored when exporting.
Help

Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript

Hello,
My Flash CS5.5 crashes when exporting movieclip for Actionscript (select movieclips -> modify -> convert to symbol -> check export for actionscript). I think this only happens when Photoshop CS5 is open.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using Win7 64-bit. The only open programs are Flash, Photoshop, and Firefox.

Oddly enough, I opened up Flash again, today, just to see if it was still the same, and it had worked. Everything seemed normal, I opened a new document and started working. Then, out of nowhere it stopped responding again. So I waited for it to respond, it didn't. I closed it from the task manager, and now it's back to the original problem of crashing when I try to create a new document or open an old ontrie
Update: I tried the cleaner, as you'd suggested. Followed all the steps, but to no avail. Think it may have something to do with my machine, and less with the software?

Exporting for Flash Display - Some Tips

There have been many questions on Exporting for Flash playback on the Web. This Adobe ARTICLE might provide some useful tips, and help in the understanding of the various format.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Because different Adobe NLE's (Non Linear Editors) handle Flash material differently, and some not much at all, one likely source of additional Flash handling would be Moyea. They have several Flash programs, and even offer a Flash Importer for PrPro (prior to CS4). Unfortunately, they do not yet have a plug-in Importer for PrE.

Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

Simple test
<languageVersion : 1.0;>
kernel untitled
<   namespace : "Your Namespace";
    vendor : "Your Vendor";
    version : 1;
>
    input image4 src;
    output pixel4 dst;
    void
    evaluatePixel()
        dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
"dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

Thank you for the error report. I'll put it into our bug database. We're bottling things up for the current version. Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon. Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is? If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
Thanks,
Chuck.
