AE and SWF export?
I am attempting to convert a quicktime file to SWF using After Effects. Final file size is an issue. My origina QT file is 1 GB so I am exporting from QT and reducing the size to approximately 215 MB using H.264. When I export the file from AE using the SWF the file ends up being 680 MB. Any suggestions to reducing the end file size?
Thanks

Most of these SWF questions end up being a simple user error, you are confusing a delivery format with a compression format. SWF is not a compression system. SWF leverages playback by using the CPU locally to recreate and display vectors and vectors are really small files.
If you started with a movie, After Effects is simply going to be outputting very complex bitmap frames, not vector art. You gain nothing using SWF.

My client is requiring a SWF file format to use in some proprietary software. I have not used Flash… don’t have it. Any suggestions?

that’s totally different. Your OP:

Put SWF into the search at versiontracker.com. I came up with several possibilities.
