Best suitable video codec/comp. for Flashvideo
Hello everybody,
I’ve got a quite huge amount of DV footage, which need to be edited in AE(Keying, color correction, levels etc.). The final product though is to be FLASHVIDEO.
So my question would be as follows; Which codec / video compressor would be perfect for converting to flash later on? (- and no, i’m not going to output flash-video-files directly from AE – I’m going to deliver video footage, which another company is going to convert to flashvideo.)
Important: I need the alpha channel data in the export, so is my only choice in the end the “Animation” codec ?
Best regards,
Francis

That would be what I would choose and with a quality setting of 94%. Of importance is the screen size of the files that they’re expecting. If they can make do with something less than broadcast specs. then you’ll be able to save even more on storage.

We just did a huge project over 500 clips all moving from AE into Flash.
We used JPEG 2000, 100% quality, Millions+ and Straight unmatted. You wanna make sure you keep it straight so you don’t have your background color bleeding over when you come into flash.
hope that helps!

Is this something that is going to be compressed (ala: ‘Squeeze’)?
