  • importing swf files in After Effects?

    Is there any way to import a flash movie into After Effects in the swf format?
    You may wonder who the hell would enjoy animating in Flash rather than in After Effects…
    The reason is that I am using a software named Moho and it can export as quicktime or as swf files. Which I would like to use so I could keep vector quality and zoom capabilities.

    Export it as a Quicktime (if there is no scripting to drive the animation),

    you can use a higher resolution perhaps so you can still do some scaling.

    Or do a frame by frame export still to illustratoer (yikes !), Maybe someone wrote a script or a plugin that can do that ? Well, I certainly hope someone did.
    That way you can create a illustrator sequence, but I think not all flash effects and features will export perfectly.

    Haven’t tested it though.
