Simple flash export issue

hello
I'm trying to export a flash video using Adobe media encoder from Premier Pro, but when I do I get this error " there are no clips to build".
I have another file that I am able to export and it does not have this problem.
They are Windows Media files and play in Premier fine. I am using Premier Pro CS3.
Lastly, I'm not a video expert but I really need to get these up on the web for work, there is a lot of pressure and I need to get it done.
Regards,
Tom

Flash Export Issues

So, I just waited for a customer service rep for two hours only to be told that they can't help me with this. When I try to export or test my movie in Flash Creative Cloud, it crashes. Has anyone had this issue, or better yet, solved this issue before? I have a project due tomorrow. Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Then what is the point of having all the transitions in Keynote if they are useless in sharing the "Creativeness" put into making such a great Keynote presentation? If you can see it in one programs and that program has capability to exporting, why limit its ability? So much for the limitless creative abilities of Apple...
If it can only be shown in Keynote... well than I guess I'll have to look at something other than Apple software to create a a "SIMPLE" web site.
Maybe Apple should put a little note next to the animations that lets the user know that animation is not flash compatible...

Exported Flash IIS issue

Hi,
I have exported an Encore project to Flash and it works ok locally.
When i copy the all the exported files onto a Webserver, then create a virtual directory pointing to it, the main menu appears yet none of the video plays.
The source folder etc has been copied over, as i see that has been an issue in previous posts.
The server is Win2003 and the virtual directory is added to the default web site.
I am making no amendments to the exported files except moving them to a webserver.
Can anyone please help?

The only Encore/Flash related issue that could be going on is that you haven't copied ALL of the items used (the source folder, the .html, the .swf). But, since you said you did all that, then I don't know why that wouldn't work for you.
In the URL, do you have a trailing "/" at the end? That can play a role. Also, check case-sensitivity (type in the URL exactly as the folder is listed).
I'm sure you've got your own reasons for using virtual directory...however, have you tried setting up the Flash DVD on the site any other way to at least determine whether or not your virtual directory setup is the source of the problem? Try setting it up some other way....if it works, then you at least have a better idea where the problem lies. If it still doesn't work, then....something may well be missing, despite your best efforts to ensure a 100% transfer.
Good luck!

Animated GIF Export issues

I have a simple Flash animation which I'd like to be made
into a transparent GIF.
When I do the GIF export, only the first frame of my
movieclips (which are placed in the main timeline) get rendered. It
seems like Flash only records the main timeline preview output into
the GIF file, and does not play movieclip objects. You would expect
the GIF recording to be of the same preview as when you hit
ctrl+enter (essentially final playback).
Because of this, the GIF export is pointless. The only way to
use it is to have all your animations occur in the main timeline,
and not within movieclips. It doesn't work for me (and for most
people?), because I need to easily scale my animations, which is
doable by just resizing a movieclip.
Is there a way around this in Flash? Am I missing something?
I've had to use a 3rd-party tool (Magic SWF2GIF) to do the
GIF recording.
My other issue is Flash cannot export transparent GIF's it
seems. Because of this, I have to rely on more 3rd-party GIF tools,
most of which are rubbish.
In the end, I've had to take snap shots of every individual
frame and edit each frame as individual files in Photoshop to do
all the cropping and transparency just right. Real pain when you
are talking 50 frames, and having to do multiple animations.
Is there a way to export transparent GIF's in Flash?
Seems kind of dumb that I have all this high-end software and
loads of tools... and I still have to edit things frame by
frame.

Thank you for your reply!
I check exported GIFs in various browsers and XnView viewer.
It's definitely not a preview issue - i have 32Gb of RAM and Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU on my system.
I believe the issue is with transparency, because i'm able to export GIFs with solid background just fine
GIF export dialogue window has 'Transparency' checkbox, so it looks like it should be possible to export an animated GIF with transparent background, but for some reason i'm getting all frames at the same time
thank you

Encore CS6 Flash Export problem, Grey screens

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports, they are not behaving as expected online (seems to be like a loading issue).
I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same. The same project exported from CS5.5 does not produce this undesirable
problem. It may be important to say that the project was started in CS5.5.
I have a button that links to another menu, and I am using videos as 'transitions'. The videos are dynamic after effects compositions.
When it's online, and you press the button it fills the canvas with a 'grey screen' before starting the video transition. This totally breaks
the experience and feels like an authoring error. It would be important to note, that this screens only appear the first time you see the flash.
Somehow the next time you press it doesnt show it.
I would happily go back to CS5.5 but I started using auto-activate buttons that are only available on CS6 flash exports.
Any ideas what has changed between this versions flash exports?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance,
Cris

Encore CS6 6.0.2.004, IE9, Win7
Simple project, DVD NTSC, One menu with one button. One timeline. Menu first play, button linked to timeline.
Output flash with flv (and again with f4v - same results), No template, keep with flash swf rather than streaming.
Open index.html locally, must manually enable active content. Menu opens, movie plays. No grey screen.
Copy entire folder to USB, same result; USB plays on a different PC also.
Upload to web site; same result.
Am I doing soething differently from either of you? Are you using templates?
Factors related to flash security (for local and probably USB playback) can be problems. Various server settings can be problems for on line.

Flash export leaves "gaps" between button clicks

Hi!
I'm having a nasty issue with the flash export capability of Encore CS4. I was trying to build a website that has 3 pages and a navigations system to go to them. The problem is that although everything seems to work just fine in the Encore preview, as soon as I export the project to a flash file and try to navigate, I get a flash between the clicks. It kind of looks like flash player is updating the content, just a quick flash on the page.
I have seen examples of flash webpages made with encore and they didn't seem to have that problem. What could be causing the "gaps" or "flashes" when navigating?

Flash Export missing loader

I think the SWF export is very nice. For people with no Flash abilities it can be very handy.
I think it miss an option : a Flash loader.
For exemple, i'm making a portfolio document (or a book or a magazine etc.) in Indesign, 30 pages.
It's nice to be able to put it on the web. But i hand with a 8Mo file. If i send a link to the file,
most non tech people won't understand when the browser will pop up and that nothing happens…
If we have the ability to insert a simple Flash loader, people we'll just wait. Simple as that.
Since i don't have this option i think i won't use it : i would need to open Flash, create a loader, import the SWF…
Maybe its possible to make a loader in AJAX ? I have no idea…
Anyway i'm stuck and i think i will go for a PDF i can send directly by email in the wait…

How do i include transitions in Flash export?

when I export my Keynote presentation to Flash, the transitions I selected disappear leaving way to a simple change of screen. I was wondering if there was a way to preserve all transitions and effects in the Flash export.
Thank you for your help!

I am pretty sure its not possible at this stage.
As most ads like Mochi etc are in fact .swf files loaded in from the web, which is not supported on the Iphone. ( as those would be actual 'Flash' files where as the app you are running is compiled to Xcode )
PS: hmm i just realised you were referring to the native Iphone Ads... well I dont know then! but is a really really interesting question! I suppose when Adobe releases a 'non-preview' version of the Packager they might open up some API to it.

CS6 flash exports use 1 motion transition for all instances?

I'm using Encore CS6 OSX10.8.4. I have 1 main menu, 1 sub menu, 2 simple motion transitions. One to the sub menu and one back to main. Both only 1 second long created in AE 5.5 rendered as .mov files.
Everything looks good in the preview option. Exported to DVD and everything works fine. Export to flash and it plays only one motion transition in both cases.
I tried replacing the referenced motion video that was not recognized another and the same results. Happens in both FLV and F4V exports.
Any ideas on how to correct this? There are no special characters in my project file asset names. Tried it in chrome and firefox. Redid a new Encore file and same outcome.
I wan to use flash export to keep higher resolution than SD so I can take a screen video of navigating through the menus and use that high res video as part of a portfolio for a potentical job.
Any Help is much appreciated

There are some limitations to flash export, but I don't recall this coming up. No time to test at the moment.

Two Flash export errors

I've only recently started using Encore and am enjoying it so far. The slide show feature appears to be a bit buggy, but the Flash export feature looked interesting so I gave that a try. Creating the flash export was easy, but there were two errors in the code it generates.
In index.htm I had to edit the parts shown the bold in the line-
Original:
<div style="border: 4px solid #000; width: 640px; height: 480px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="960" height="540" id="flashdvd" align="middle">
Changed:
<div style="border: 4px solid #000; width: 960px; height: 540px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="960" height="540" id="flashdvd" align="middle">
I was exporting as a 960x540 video. Before the change the video was displayed right of center. After, it was centered. In the preview of the template the video was centered.
Also, the three png files in the Sources folder had to be renamed to remove the space in the file name. I was not able to upload those files to my web server. I had to change the references to those files in the AuthoredContent.xml file.
Anyway, you may have the same problem, and maye the right people will see this and fix it.

Hey Neil,
Thanks for replying. When I author DVD's, I use the basic encoding standards you listed above.
In this case, since the output is not written media, I was encoding in a way that would give me the best possible results (in theory at least) when planning on flv being the final encoded output, where lowest possible file size with best possible quality is the goal (since it's home will be on the web, not a DVD).
As for my issue with the errors generated from the Export to Flash option, I have learned some things, and was able to successfully Export to Flash.
One thing is that apparently the Flash encoder that EncoreDVD CS3 uses is not the same as the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder or whatever Flash encoding engine Premiere uses. Encore's Flash output settings are limited, and so are the results.
What I had to do was export my PP CS3 projects to Flash using Adobe Media Encoder and update the XML that Encore spits out accordingly to point to my newly encoded flv's, replacing the flv's that Encore created... not a big deal, but one extra step and little more waiting time.
Now, the results are stunning! And since I'm not comfortable in Flash CS3 or coding ActionScript, having Encore create the menu interface, with all the navigation and interactivity and such, for me was a big BIG plus!

Encore CS6 Flash Export problem

Hey There!
I am having a problem with my encore CS6 flash exports.
The DVD menus are shown the right way in the browser but, when I select a video to be played, the flash player shows me the video controls but no video. The background stays grey. I've tried exporting FLV and F4V and the problem is the same.
It looks like the link in the XML is not good. The videos are in the folder exported by Encore and they play well in VLC. Do you have to edit the XML file to make this work? I guess not...
Maybe reinstalling everything? Because from my perspective, it looks like it is an easy procedure and it should work.
Any help would be appreciated!
My specs:
- Mac Pro late 2013 with Maveriks 10.9.4
- Safari 7.05
- Encore CS6

The Encore structure puts the flv in a "sources" subdirectory under the level with the index.html.
As long as the user has not modified anything, the path should be okay.
Nicolas, confirm that the directory with index.html file also has a subdirectory called "sources," and that that is where the flv/f4v is.
My suspicion for many users with a local, but not web problem, are having a local permissions issue.
One user reported fixing a similar problem by removing odd characters in the filenames. The theory was that the characters were breaking the xml linking.

Illustrator crashes when opening Flash-exported SVG

Illustrator (latest CC version) always crashes when I try to open a Flash-exported SVG. It doesn't matter if I try to open it directly or import to a blank document. Other SVGs open well. I've already disabled all non-essential Windows 7 services. Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

What do Windows services have to do with any of that? I've tried anything that could help at Entre em contato com o Atendimento ao cliente! Maybe you never had any trouble with Illustrator before... The whole thing is as simple as this: any software shouldn't crash while opening a file with incompatible data (it should warn and abort the operation)! And actually Illustrator opens every SVG file correctly, but those exported by Flash Professional. The file data should be correct, since any other SVG-compatible software can open those images. Any software, but Adobe Illustrator... You can see at Re: Is there a way to save out/export vector art from Flash CC to open as vector art in Illustrator CC? that Flash Professional's SVG export feature should allow a Flash-Illustrator workflow. It doesn't, at least on my system. I've described in few words the steps to reproduce the error: latest CC software, Windows 7 system, no matter any other service, export SVG from Flash (tried different options), open with Illustrator, unexpected crash. I haven't attached the files because the forum does not allow this. They're here: http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1.svg and http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/transparencia1.svg

Keynote 08 Flash Export not compatible with Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

Hello
Our company uses Keynote extensively for presentations. We also give presentations online using Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional (hosted, formerly known as Macromedia Breeze - <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/>). Where as it's a great environment for online seminars (best I've seen), it fails dramatically when you upload a looping Flash file created in Keynote. I first tried this in Keynote '06 and now in '08.
When I tried in Keynote 06, the animation was three slides looping, synced to an audio track. When I tried in '08, it was one slide with (the new) animations looping over 20 seconds (or so) without a soundtrack.
I have some contact with Adobe, and this issue has been sent to their engineering department, but they seem to think there's something funky about the format of the file that Keynote exports. I'm trying to gather more data for them to investigate with.
Does anyone know what version of Flash Apple's export is most like? Do we have any specs on the file export format?
Has anyone tried using Flash exports in other Flash-using online environments?
Thanks!
~brian

I believe I figured it was somewhere between Flash 5 and Flash 6. I say this because while the resulting presentations could be opened in QuickTime (which only uses Flash 5) a better result would be achieved by viewing in the browser. Either that, or QuickTime's Flash 5 support isn't complete.

Flash Export not there

I just set up a new Intel Mac Pro, installed Final Cut Pro
and Flash Professional 8, but the Flash Export isn't showing up the
Quicktime Export Options.
I'm using Quicktime version 7.1.3
Is there an update to Flash or something that I need?

Very similar issue here. Export to Flash Video is missing from QuickTime Pro. It's also missing from MPEG Streamclip.
Flash Media Encoder is corrupting files. I'm going to try a reinstall.
I'm on CS4

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing.

Simple sequence, export media encoder launches,then nothing. How can I trouble shoot this. I have no idea why this is failing. I have tried a number of options etc. I am using CS4 on vista.

Harm, I followed your advice. I am new to this forum and should have looked at the wiki about the 16 questions. Once I did I noticed that the first item was remove Beta software. I had beta software for Flash Builder and Flash Catalyst that had also installed (without me noticing) media encoder CS5.
Once I removed these Beta releases, the Media Encoder went back to CS4.
Thanks for your response.
