After Effects into Flash
Hi,
I have been asked to do animation for a presentation. They have decided to use Flash to create the whole presentation instead of keynote or powerpoint.
What is the best way of working and what are my limitations? I’m creating all my animation in After Effects, I know I can export it as SWF, but if I use unsupported elements and rasterize them, I’m guessing that they lose quality when they get resized. Currently I don’t know what size the end product will be screened at.
Help! I don’t know much about Flash and nothing about presentations so this is proving difficult!
Thanks in advance,
Dasha. -

What version of Adobe’s suite are you using? AE7? CS3 or CS4?
Of top I know that CS4’s integration with flash is simple, CS3 isn’t bad, but I don’t know about AE7 (I think it is the same as CS3).
I know off top you should not be using the “Make A Movie” feature, if you are going to export .FLV’s or .SWF you should do it through the render queue.
Like the adobeLive Doc says, the content may be flattened or rasterize in the SWF file, well… you could always export your file from After Effects into something like an (I’m on a Mac) Apple Animation file and then convert it to SWF thereafter, which I tend to do on any project so that I always have a High Quality backup.
I’ve also been told things about .f4v files, but I don’t have CS4 so can’t give you exact information on that. -
Hi,
I am on CS3… I can make a swf file pretty easily, the problem is that if I rasterize the elements that aren’t supported by vectors then the swf isn’t a vector and once it goes onto a presentation screen it’ll have lost it’s quality.
I want to make 3D layers and it’s that isn’t supported as far as I can tell.
I just wanna know if there is a solution for this or a way of working…
