SWF conversion in images sequency (JPGs, GIF, MNG...)

Hello,
I have some SWF files to convert in MNG animation or images sequencies.
(my developped software does not support SWF files. Alas!).
To do that, I am looking for a reliable tool allowing either:
- to convert SWF in MNG,
- or to extract sequencies of pictures (PNGs, JPGs...), in order to build a MNG file after this step (thanks another soft).
The SWF durations are 4s-8s, at 12fps.
They are composed by just a frame (which is containing some images which are moving in loop; no interactive content).
I tried to export an animation file with Adobe Flash CS4 with a SWF file, or a FLA file : it has not been successful.
I tried some tools which seems working by 'screenshots' of the SWF frame : I have some results, but not very good.
I do not have the Flash project which has been used to create SWF, but I can ask to my SWF provider some additionnal files which could be useful for my need (he is not an expert).
So, I do not have any solutions for that (Adobe tool? Another?).
Thanks for you help.

Here's what my .htaccess file looks like. Don't know if it makes a difference, but all the rewrite engine commands are within an IfModule tag.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on

  • Incredibly strange file size discrepancy only appears in image files (jpg, gif, png)!

    I'm creating a bunch of banners for google ads, yahoo ads, ...etc in Photoshop on my Mac OS!
    The .gif files of these banners appear to TRIPLE in size when on the MAC (>150KB), but when transferred to windows; the real file size shows correctly! (<50KB)
    It is not a result of the base2 vs base10 discrepancy since the difference in size is simply too big, and it only happens with files created on Photoshop on my Mac.
    The reason I know that windows is showing the correct size while my Mac OS is displaying the wrong size, is that the file gets approved by google and yahoo ads, even though Mac OS shows that it surpasses the size limit (50KB) three times over!
    This isn't an isolated incident either, all image files created in Photoshop on the MAC continue this weird behaviour! However, files downloaded from the net appear to be consistent on both operating systems!
    One example is the attached screenshot:
    Explanation, please??

    Geez, sorry I offended you Mr. Jobs (incarnate)!
    You came in here with a three ton chip on your shoulders. Did you really expect sunshine and puppies in return?
    No, I expected useful help, and I got it from Jeffrey Jones. Thanks again Jeffrey!
    I mean, when you move or upload it, it loses this data association anyways!
    To a drive which doesn't support Apple's AB tree structure (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, exFAT), yes. To another HFS+ drive, no.
    What about uploading the file to the cloud?? Does it lose this association or not?? And does anyone really care about the data in the Resource fork?
    This "Resource Fork" means nothing to the file owner, only to the OS and the Drive. Therefore, it shouldn't be added to the total. Period. Because its not part of the file, its part of Apple's tree structure! This is really a simple concept, not sure why you are bending over backwords to defend a clearly stupid oversight from apple!
    There's no reason to force me to use the command line to get the real file size of a GIF! There's just no excuse for that!
    If an OS is saying it is fetching file size information for a single file, it should do exactly that! Not add hidden Resource Forks that are part of the OS's internal workings
    OS X is fetching the file size. It's file size, not the way a different OS would report it.
    There is no such thing as it's file size. A file size is a file size, accross all platforms, on the cloud, wherever!
    A GIF file should have the same file size whether its on windows, linux, unix, darwin, freeBSD, or anything else. The only time its weight should vary is in outer space!
    That is why I'm surprised that they are breaking simple UI Design rules.
    The User Interface has nothing to do with the file structure of a drive.
    I don't care about the structure of the drive!! Neither should you, neither should the average user!
    A good UI should NOT concern the user with this! The average user doesn't care about these Resource Forks, and will never try to view them, therefore, there is no logical reason to add up their file sizes to the total size of each file, and then to make things worse, hide that fact! That only creates confusion, and it makes it so much harder for a designer like myself to view the REAL file sizes of my image files! Now, whenever I'm on my MAC, I will have to run command line scripts to be able to see if my GIF files (that I work on EVERYDAY) meet the file size quota, because Mac OS adds up hidden files that I have no use for and gives me the WRONG file size!
    Let's say this again: when you select a file and click get info, you should get the info for the file you selcted. Nothing more, nothing less! I don't care if the file structure creates an entire colony of hidden files, they should be completely hidden to me, and if not, the Get Info dialog box should at least give me two sizes, one is the REAL file size, and the other is the added up file size for the Resource Fork as well (although I can't think of any good reason why it should add up the Resource Fork size anyways)!
    do you think it is at all logical, that when you select 300 or so files, and click Get Info, that it open 300 windows at once each showing separate information for each file? Or does it make a lot more sense, intuitively, to get the total tally of all the files selected added up, without having to hold down shortcut keys when clicking them to do so?
    Yes, it is logical because that's what you, the user, told the OS to do. You wanted the Get Info data on 300 individual items. I don't know about you, but I avoid the menu bar as much as possible (your reference to avoiding shortcut keys). Command+I will always give you singular Get Info dialogue boxes.
    No, that's not what I told the OS to do. I selected 300 files cumulatively, therefore, I should get the cumulative info for all the selected files. That's just common sense. Every other OS seems to get this!
    And I'm hard pressed to find anyone who has found a use for having 300 get info boxes open at the same time. Therefore, that shouldn't be the default.
    Will you start defending apple's decision to stick with the one button mouse for all these years depriving us from the all important context menu as well?? There was absolutely no good reason to do that, just as there is absolutely no good reason to do this!

  • Flash audio out of sync even as image sequence in Premeire Pro

    I'm using Flash CS4 to animate hi-def music videos. It seems that I can't keep the audio to stay in sync for anything over 2 or 3 minutes.
    - I'm working a stage at 1280x720 and 30 fps
    - audio is streamed on a separate layer
    - mp3 publish settings are: stereo 128kbs
    Inside the FLA file everything syncs perfect, but when it's published, everything drifts in the SWF and in everything else I've tried.
    I've tried exporting image sequences and popping the sequences into premiere pro to match up with the original wave, and i've also put the swf file in a premiere pro project as well. Whether a SWF or an image sequence, it always lapses after 2 or 3 minutes.
    I've asked the adobe portal folks and they sent me a link to a "dreamweaver" article...so my regard for their capicity is not high.
    Anyone have any ideas? or am I doomed to never animate anything longer than 2 minutes in Flash?
    The topper of it all is, I've used a friend's REAL OLD Flash MX and have not   had any problems.

    no actually all the animation is smooth and plays fine. but in files longer than 2 or 3 minutes the action starts to happen later and later and later until i'm seeing the animation full seconds after the matching sound. this happens when source wavs are matched to published files inside premeire pro too. it doesn't matter the format...swf / mp4 / flv / mov...any encoding of the video matched to the source wav is the same result as the published swf.
    it's as if there are more frames in the publish than in the FLA. i guess i could compare and contrast by doing some math and creating some traditional x-sheets and completely disregard the reference streaming audio in the FLA...but that would be a ton of work and disregard the convenience the technology is intended to provide. i guess i'll just continue editing together a bunch 1-2 minute publishes until i give adobe even more money in october...boo hiss.
    thanks for your vigilance! i might just be out of luck

  • Animated Image Sequence

    Hi, I am a year 3 computer science student at the National University of Singapore. I am currently doing a study on animated image sequence. The most popular format for animated image sequence is GIF. However, there are many people who feel that there are better formats available. One of the such format is the animated PNG (APNG). Despite its advantages over GIF, APNG has been rarely heard by content creators. One postulation is the lack of authoring tools and browser support, hence the lack of accessibility in creating such animations. I would like to ask if the future version of Photoshop will ever allow the creation of APNG files. If no, why not? Will the key reason be due to the lack of browser support?

    I think that you first need to get Animated PNG supported by all Browsers good luck there.
    A problem may also exist I have seen at least  are two different animated PNG file formats around for animated PNGs. One file format is more like a frame strip used for animated icons. The orher format  some browsers support. There are also some plug-ins that support animated PNG for some browsers. It seems that these animated PNG files may or may not be optimized. I have seen large non optimize animated I created fail to animate in a browsers with animated PNG support.
    Animated PNG look so much better then animated GIF because of poor color capability of the GIF format. The optimized animated PNG file I have seen are not that much larger then animated GIF.
    I have a Chrome plug-in installed on my machine and did create a test page  Animated GIF vs Animated PNG http://www.mouseprints.net/APNG/GIFvsPNG.html

  • I have an image sequence in JPG and when I select open image sequence, select all does not work and I can only highlight one frame at a time.  I want to import these frames into QT7 to make a time lapse clip.  Any suggestions

    I have an image sequence in JPG that I want to import into quitck time 7 for making a time lapse clip.   It has an option to open the image sequence, but when I do, it only lets me highlight one frame at a time.  The select all option seems to do nothing when I click on it trying to highlight all the frames. 
          If QT7 is not designed to perform this function, is there another alternative?   iMovie is non intuitive for this kind of operation and I cannot find a clear tutorial for using it to make time lapse clips from a sequence of still frames.  
           The tutorials Ive found on YouTube are well intended, but they all seem to leave out a vital step that eludes detection.  
      Anyway, any help appreciated. 
    Thanks
       I am new to this forum and I'm not sure I can locate this thread again once I'm out of it.
    <Email Edited by Host>

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • Loading Images jpg, gif, png

    What is the most effective way to load an image in my application?
    Bellow is how i am currently loading the image:
    private void drawMap() {
    Graphics g = this.picturePanel.getGraphics();
    Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("/images/claymonmap.gif"));
    g.drawImage(img,0,0,this);
    This method works however it takes sometime for the image to show. The method is called from a button action, and the image wont display unless I have pressed the button alteast two times. I do not need to do an manipulation to the image simply display it.
    I was hopeing for a more instantaneous result.
    Your input would be greatly appreciated.

    I changed to using imageicon and i found that its is much quicker thanks.
    however i am having troubles with the method bellow. When i click a certain button the focus on a tabbed pane goes to buildingPicturePanel, and the picture flashes up for a microsecond and then the panel goes blank again. The picture wont show till i click the button again.
    void getBuildingPic(String id) {
    Graphics gBuilding = this.buildingPicturePanel.getGraphics();
    ClassLoader cldr = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
    String pathBuildPic = "images/"+ id +".jpg";
    java.net.URL imageURL = cldr.getResource(pathBuildPic);
    ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
    img.paintIcon(this.buildingPicturePanel, gBuilding, 0, 0);
    could this be becuase the way i am painting the icon?

  • Converting GIF images to JPG - display problems in browser

    I am currently writing a program that uses the ImageIO package (javax.imageio.*) to take GIF and PNG images and convert them to JPG images. The program seems to convert them correctly, especially for the PNG images, but the converted GIF images don't open in a browser. They open just fine in Windows Picture and Fax viewer, but when I try to open them in IE or Firefox, it only diplays the little red 'x'.
    Is anyone familiar enough with Images and the ImageIO package in Java that they may have some insight on why these converted GIF files won't display in a browser.

    Bonjour,
    In my [website|http://iweb.debutersurmac.com>, all the images are JPG files,
    By default iWeb '09 converts images to JPG (yes, it's true)...
    ...unless you use masked images*
    !http://i32.servimg.com/u/f32/09/02/44/99/masked10.jpg!
    Crop your images (with Preview) before you paste them in iWeb. Don't use mask, Unmask an image if it's masked. That's the trick!
    !http://i32.servimg.com/u/f32/09/02/44/99/unmask10.jpg!
    (* images with transparency areas (ex : some PNG and GIF), rotation and shapes in iWeb make also PNG files in your website.)

  • Quicktime Pro won't display JPG or create image sequence

    I'm having a problem with QT Pro in that some of my jpg files will open in QT as blank white. When I resize the window, the window blinks with a scrambled image. Same thing happens when I try to create an image sequence.
    This doesn't happen on all my jpg files, maybe about half of them. Also, the same files that don't open properly in QT Pro on my Mac Pro open just fine in QT Pro on another computer. These files also open fine in Preview, Lightroom & Photoshop - it's just QT that's having problems.
    I've deleted and reinstalled QT with no luck. Any ideas what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated...

    Try the following:
    System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
    Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
    Click the OK button.
    Restart your computer.
    ==============
    Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
    Restart your computer.
    ===============
    Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

  • Import of "image sequence" grays out when you select multiple jpg in Premier CC

    It worked jus fine untill a few days ago after the CC update. I even reset the number sequencing on my camera to try a test set of picture.  no matter what I do the "image sequence" check box grays out as soon as i click on multiple jpgs.
    any one ever have this occur?

    As joe bloe says, select only a single image file to enable the Image Sequence checkbox. Once you select multiple files, then the importer is set to import as multiple single still images. FYI, you can also select any file (other than the frst), if you wish to import a shorter range of files (eg: select 0040 to import an image sequence of frame 40 and on)

  • Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    Why won't my trial of CC Photoshop let me save my PSD images as JPG or GIF?

    One thing to check is that your PSD is RGB/8 or /16, but not /32  (32 bits per channel)
    If that is not the problem
    Let's try this:
    Close Adobe Photoshop if it is opened.
    Find the following:   (windows user can hit windows key + r, then in run cmd line type "%appdata%" to locate your "AppData\Roaming" directory)
    \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\Adobe Preferences CC Settings
    Rename the  "Adobe Preferences CC Settings" folder to "Adobe Preferences CC Settings_old"  so that preferences settings can be recreated.
    Reopen Photoshop CC and open a new or existing file to verify that your "save for web" option is back and not grayed out.

    I'm guessing your problem is caused by code validation errors: orphaned division tags for example, or mismatched code and document type (i.e.  XHTML /> mixed with HTML > style closures).
    Start by using the code validation tools below and fix any reported.  You'll need an Internet connection for this:
    HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org 
    CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/  
    HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
    If this doesn't solve the problem, you will need to post a URL to your live page so we can see your code and images working together.   Or at the very least copy and paste your HTML and CSS code into a reply using double arrows >> Syntax Highlighting > Plain.

  • How to edit 16bit TIFF image sequence file in FCP?

    Dear all,
    I have a number of 16 bit TIFF image sequence files (2048 x 1024 resolution) - some of them are RED footage, and others came directly from our f/x guy. We are going into a color correction session in a post house and we've been asked to provide a sequential 16 bit TIFF image sequence of the edited time line.
    I need to do a cross dissolve b/w most of the clips I have. I have created image sequence QT movie (reference files) from the TIFF images. Though they play fine in QT player, when I try importing into FCP, I am met with a "general error". I tried both dragging it into QT, as well as File --> Import.
    I am wondering what can I do to get these clips into FCP in order to apply the cross dissolve transitions I need. Is this a problem relating to the 16bit nature of the TIFF files?
    I tried exporting the TIFF image sequence standalone QT movie, and those imported fine. However, I have a feeling that the standalone movie conversion also decrease my bit depth from 16 to 8. (When I do my final TIFF output from FCP after dissolves / transitions had been applied, each TIFF file is now 8 MB instead of 12 MB, hence my suspicion that the bit depth is adjusted).
    Are there any settings I am missing, or does FCP simply don't support 16 bit image sequence reference file. As a test, I had also converted all my TIFF to jpg, and created jpeg image sequence reference file. These reference QT file can be successfully imported to FCP and I can edit them as if they are a clip.
    If FCP is not able to handle these files, what are my other options? After Effects?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Michael
    <Edited by Moderator>

    As far as I know, both FCP and Color only support up to 10 bit color, which is 1024 levels for each color channel, more than enough for avoiding color banding.
    If you need 16 bit for sure, I believe AE will support 16 bit output. Another 16 bit application would be the extended version of Photoshop, which has some limited time line capability.
