Exporting After Effects Files to Flash
Hello i just exported an After effects animation as a flash file but i have lost heaps of quaility in the image. The animation was created with Illustrator images with a few masks. Just wondering what would be the best way to preserve the image quaility of the animation. I included the ‘rasterize unsuported features’ option when i exported the file and turned the jpeg quality to maximum.
Thanks

Does your animation include unsupported features? There’s an article in the Help on that. If so, and you want to render those features, you’re stuck with rasterizing them as JPEG.
As some have suggested, you might be better off creating a Flash video or FLV file. I believe you need Sorenson Squeeze or Flash to do that. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

If you have AE 7 you can export out to FLV.

Actually, even 6.5 will export if you have Flash 8 Pro installed. Flash 8 has a separate installer which will install the proper plugins for apps like AE, Premier and such.
As for the quality of the vector, could you increase the size of the file (dimensionally) and then render down to the final swf? Don’t know if that would actually improve the visual quality.
I’ve only exported to swf with images so I don’t have any problems.

I created the animation in After Effects 6.5 because I am use to that version. The file opened ok in version 7 so I exported it out as a FLV file and it was a lot better. Thanks for your help.
