RE: FLASH: .swf to VHS - my final try

[Jester]

Have you tried to export the file with quicktime video on the mac? I sent

this before but I never saw it show up on the list. One thing I notice is

that on the pc Quicktime export is very bad and not of any great quality.

Macromedia has a pattern of creating tools that are platform dependent.

Anyway with the mac version you have to versions of quicktime tools to work

with. We've done CD-Rom presentations that require full screen video. The

Quicktime on the mac was the only solution that was cheap and viable.


Hope this helps.

thank you all for the tips on getting flash into video, very helpful!


funny, how i have access to all sorts of tools, mac to pc, avid to after

effects, director to premier... not one of these wants to import a .swf file

and output a qt or avi with my mc's and sound intact.


I imported the .swf into director

exported a pict sequence (it dropped a few frames)

imported it back into director

put it back on the timeline with the alt + select key

reassembled sound

exported it as an .avi so it would accept a slower frame rate

and finially, used avid in our media lab to import the .avi and export to

beta sp and vhs...


all this to get on the animation demo reel at school... what a pain.


????Isn't there a program that will capture anything playing full-screen????

anyone know?


moral of the story, if you ever want your .swf on tape, animate frame by

frame and do the sound somewhere else.
