importing WMV into flash
I need to create a WMV from an animation made in aftereffects so that someone else can then take the WMV file and do whatever he needs to do to bring it into flash(I’m not sure if they’re running it through cleaner first or what). They are having trouble keeping the audio and video in sync once they get it into flash and have requested a full quality WMV with the highest possible bit rate(rediculously high). I’m convinced that thats pretty much the opposite of what they need, but maybe I’m wrong.
Wouldn’t the best thing to provide be a file with the lowest quality and lowest bit rate (lowest ACCEPTABLE looking quality of course)?
Please any input, suggestions would be a big help, they’re pretty set on getting a high quality high bit rate WMV and I think as long as I give them that they’re gonna have syncing issues.
Thanks in advanced,
I’m posting this in the Flash forum too. -

if they are compressing it themselves to put into flash then ideally you don’t want to compress it to WMV at your end. If the clip is not too big I’d suggest rendering a quicktime animation codec and providing it on DVD or hard drive. It’s never a good idea to compress a clip twice when it’s not needed.
either that or get them to tell you exactly what they want the finished file to be and you just do it from your end.

file size isn’t too much of an issue, would an uncompressed AVI be better? or at least better than a hi quality WMV? My WMV files are 14MB and 32MB and are 4 minutes long, i’m maxing out the bit rate at 10000 kb/s and set it to 100 quality.

an uncompressed .AVI would be much much much better than a wmv. But if they will accept a quicktime, the animation codec will make a smaller file without loss of quality.Your files will probably be a few gig either way.
WMV files are intended as a viewing format, not as a source format. You should really only compress to .wmv as the very last step of production.
