Importing Flash Professional 8 into AE 7 Problems
Hi everyone,
I’ve posted things here before, and I know you guys are good, so another question for you.
I’m trying to import a SWF or MOV (doesnt matter to me) from Flash 8 into AE 7. I have Quicktime version 7.1.5. Right now it will import, but nothing is there. It’s just a 5 minute movie of a black screen. No picture, no sound.
When I play the same file in QT, it plays just fine.
I used to do this using QT 6.5 and AE 6.5 all the time and it worked fine. I don’t know what’s wrong now.
My settings: I’ve exported the SWF/MOV as a Flash 5, and I do have the Flash encoder enabled on QT.
Also I’ve tried importing the MOV into Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0, but still doesn’t work. It imports, but still just blank black screen.
My thoughts are this might be a version issue between QT and Adobe. Should I try going back to QT 6.5?
Thanks!
Brad

I am exporting from Flash 8 as a QT…which is basically just a SWF wrapped as a MOV.
I don’t know what codec if any that is….

gotcha
if you want to bring it in to AFX, take the mov in QT and export it as a quicktime with a codec like animation.
i know QT could read swfs, but i dont think you can bring that in to AE ( though im not sure i ever tried it)
you used to be able to export as a quicktime movie from flash, where it was a real raster based quickime.
that you can bring in to AE, so maybe thats what you remember working…who is that masked man…

Hi,
2 questions:
1. How do I export from Flash 8 with an animation codec? I don’t see those settings…can I do that straight from quicktime?
2. Yes I am positive I used to be able to take a .mov export from Flash 8 into AE 6.5 and it worked just fine. What’s changed in AE 7 to make it not work anymore? I tried quicktime 6.5, but that didn’t work, so I know it’s Adobe’s fault.
Thanks

Do your export from QT player.
i dont have flash here to try it out, but i know i ran in to similar issues when i upgraded to 8. are you sure you did it this exact same way with flash8 and it worked?

Ok I can try after work…I’ve never exported in quicktime itself. I didn’t know you could even do that.
Is the animation codec a sequence of pictures, or just recompressed video?
And if it’s compressed, how is the compression? I’m trying to get this out of Flash 8 and into Premiere with little or no compression, as this is a video that will be shown at a wedding reception on a very big screen.
Thanks

Just as an update I wanted to let you know that worked perfectly. I exported in quicktime as an uncompressed MOV movie. And it loaded into Premiere with no problems.
Thanks again!
