Re: FLASH: After Effects to Flash

[Geoffrey Roth]

Robert,

Thanks for your reply.


I suppose I didn't explain myself very well...(that's been known to happen).

I will be using the QT only as reference. Rather than importing it into

Flash, the QT will serve as a visual guideline on which to base my flash

animation, which I'll be building using the same (non-sequenced) Illustrator

files that the client animated to create the QT in After Effects.


The entire project may represent a day or so of work on my end, and I was

just wondering what would be considered reasonable to charge for this

"translation" from AE in flash. (I could see how this phrasing from my

previous posting could have been misinterpreted).


Sorry for the confusion & thanks,

Geoff
