Help with Flash Export Process:

$
0
0

Hi all.

 

I'm using Flash CC on a Windows 8 system. The specs are i7-3770, 12GB RAM, 128GB SSD, etc.

When we create flash animations, we look at the SWF and it looks fantastic. 

YouTube unfortunately doesn't accept SWF as a valid file type.

This is where things start to get hairy.

 

Someone suggested I export PNGs as a sequence along with the audio and then add these to a program such as Adobe Premiere or After Effects.

Is it normal for a 5 minute animation @ 30fps to take nearly 5 hours to export the PNGs?

 

I'd like to think my system is strong enough to do it a bit quicker than this.

 

FYI - Flash CC no longer has the ability to export as a PNG sequence (Flash Pro CS6 still has it).

 

I tried using export > video in Flash CC to generate an MOV.  This creates an MOV that is 12GB+.

I can't believe a 5 minute MOV could even become that large.  I then use the Adobe Media Encoder to compress the MOV into an MP4.  This works no problem but no matter what settings I try, the colors don't seem as vivid as the SWF.

Everything has this slight dullness to it and I can't figure out why.  Both the MOV with the huge file size and the compressed MP4 lack the vividness in color the SWF has.

 

Can anyone here share with me the export process they use for an HD animation that can be uploaded to YouTube?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sean

Im not sure the best route for you but I'd play with the video compression settings when your exporting from Flash to MOV. What compression setting are you using?

is it required that the flv be embedded in the swf's timeline (which frequently leads to sync problems though they may be obviated by using a 23.98 fps in the swf) as opposed to playing it in an flvplayback component in the swf?

In Adobe Media Encoder I have tried the following:

Format:    H.264

 

Preset:     Match Source - High Bitrate

Preset:     HD 720p 29.97

Preset:     YouTube HD 720p 29.97

 

I would have thought one of those would have given me the results I was after.

And again, it's the colors that aren't coming out as crisp and bright as they should.

 

I'm on a different computer now with a different monitor and went through the motions to try and show you what I'm talking about.

 

Of course now all of a sudden the difference is minimal.  In the screenshot below, the SWF is on the right and the compressed MP4 using "Match Source - High Bitrate" is on the left. 

 

I feel like I'm going crazy because now I don't see a difference...

Ya looks the same... but what compression setting for video did you use for exporting the MOV from Flash?

If it's already on the stage in your timeline I can't imagine why you'd want to addChild() it anyhow. You can just update the position, you already know it's on stage *shrug*.

 

I feel the timelines separation from code is just that, a separation. The animator expects what they put on the timeline to be available. So if you take it into the code world, you'll have to fully take it. For example I can remove myclip from the timeline and then from then on I don't get this issue. I effectively took it away from timeline land and into the magic of actionscript land.

 

Anyhow, always good to note.

I honestly don't know. The website/program is similar to most online eduction programs where is plays a slide show and we have the option to put video in for slides when we create and upload the content. The SWF files are upload by themselves and number to where they are supposed to be in the course.

 

How would I go about doing what you said?

Ah, it's because later on in the timeline I do instantiate a Class and addChild() that to the stage. So it covers things already on the timeline, a few of which I want it not too.

 

An alternate would be to put an empty MC on the timeline, in a layer under my content, and addChild my instance to that, but I only thought of that while typing

backups are always smart.  use a naming convention that's convenient for you.

 

i use projectname_01.fla, projectname_02.fla etc.  whenever you save, use a new name.  it's not unusual for me to end-up with projectname_49.fla.

 

if you like tidy directories without lots of files, you can move older flas to and "old" or "previous_versions" subdirectory.

click move the flv to the directory with your published swf (or a subdirectory).

 

in flash navigate to the frame where you want the video to appear.  click file>import>import video>browse to the flv/f4v>tick load external video with playback component>next>select a skin (or none) that you want>next>finish.

I'll give that a try then try uploading the file. Thanks for your help!

I'm trying to understand what this Import Video option actually does. There are 4 different format listed on the browse menu. Does Flash convert them all to FLV no matter what? Does it make any difference what format they're initially encoded in, in terms of the final size and quality?

Haha well anyhow, glad you got it to work. Good luck!

I used whatever the default settings would be as this was a fresh install of Flash CC.  I didn't make any adjustments. I just click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO

It made an MOV on my Desktop.

I'm home now and have checked some things and this is what I'm finding.

When you are in Flash CC and click FILE > EXPORT > EXPORT VIDEO and choose a path, an MOV is made that is gigantic.  This gigantic file actually looks like it's supposed to.

It's when I convert the MOV to MP4 where the colors become washed out.

You can see it in the examples attached.

One is washed out (b) and the other isn't (a). 

The washed out one was converted from MOV to MP4 using Adobe Media Encoder CC with the "Match Source - High Bitrate" preset.

How can I get the MP4 to come out with the same colors as the MOV?a.PNG

you shouldn't embed an flv in a swf.  quality decreases and sync issues may arise.

 

you should choose the option to play the video in a playback component.

you're welcome.

 

p.s. you'll need to upload the files - your swf, the skin swf if you use a skin and the video.

The video has no audio, and I need to be able to smoothly slide between different parts of the video, so embed is the best/only option.

You can change the Quicktime export settings after you select save path and quicktime window pops up click quicktime setings, then video settings then compression to MP4
