Thank you very much! Your advices really helped to create mov file. When I export to mov file In Compression Type I see many possible types. My final goal is converting mov to broadcast video: 4x3 NTSC standard definition and 16x9 1080p high definition. I honestly say that I know nothing about those standards. Does compression type when I export flash to mov mean something for final proadcast video? I did not see anything about these two formats in QT settings when I export mov to mp4. I understand that is not directly flash question but maybe somebody can say some words about that.
Should I create fla with 30fps if I need it to export in video format? 2010/10/25 Karl DeSaulniers <[email protected]>: > I didn't even think of that.. right on rhodes. :) > Makes sense, you would even have better control to make multiple MOVs > for different media from the same file with different frame rates. if the > frame rate doesn't matter. > But remember what frame rate you created it in for some situations though, > because if your Fla. is made at at 12 fps and you export it at 30fps > it will make everything move faster than the way you originally made it and > knew it to play. > And if you have video playing "in" your Fla. that is set to say 30fps, you > will > have to get your export back up to 30fps for those videos to look right. > > Best, > Karl > > On Oct 25, 2010, at 3:17 AM, tom rhodes wrote: > >> good idea to export it at 1 fps, that way you don't get skipped frames >> (even >> with heavy actionscript use), then speed up the resulting mov to the >> original framerate and you've got a perfect mov. >> >> >> On 25 October 2010 07:25, Karl DeSaulniers <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> @Henrik >>> One possible solution for the script problem is to take the frame that >>> the >>> MC which has that script in it >>> and extend that MCs frame to the same length as how long it would take to >>> execute. >>> Even if there is only one frame inside that MC. >>> The export reads the main timeline and if you have a MC that sits on one >>> frame, >>> extend that frame to the execute time length in frames and it will give >>> the >>> main timeline export the room to record your script working/executing. >>> Then just move frames that would come after that effect/script to the >>> appropriate spot on the timeline considering this adjustment. >>> Your main timeline will be super long, but It should export your particle >>> effect. >>> I think also, you have to export as animation to execute any scripts you >>> have in your fla. >>> This is just a theory and I have not tested, but if you try, let me know >>> if >>> it works or not. >>> >>> Best, >>> Karl >>> >>> >>> >>> On Oct 24, 2010, at 6:03 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: >>> >>> Hi Natalia, >>>> >>>> Sure, its simple.
