swf import jagged alpha edges

[David Bogie]

With what color are the jagged edges ringed? White, black?
Or are they just jagged?
If they’re just jagged, you’re looking at the individual pixels so I infer brought little movies in and scaled them up to fit your sequence.
Who made the swf for you? Flash animators are clueless about video.

its a thin black jagged line. an alpha problem … tried the swf with black background and white, premultiplying does not work either

I can’t tell what you know or how well you do this stuff so I assume you set the viewer background but did not create colored layer that served as the background of the Flash comp when you rendered.

A black line suggests the background of the comp was black and you should have been working in a transparent setting. See the AE and Flash help systems for some pointers. It’s complicated but it’s not difficult to tweak these settings.

Importing Flash SWF files into After Effects
Flash has a unique set of vector art tools that make it useful for a variety of drawing not possible in After Effects or Adobe® Illustrator®. You can import SWF files into After Effects to composite them with other video or render them as video with additional creative effects. When After Effects imports a SWF file, its internal keyframes are preserved so that you can continue to use them for timing other effects.

The Continuously Rasterized SWF Import feature in After Effects allows you to bring SWF file content into After Effects as flattened art, with support for alpha channels. Because the rasterization is continuous, vector art in the SWF file that is scaled scales smoothly in After Effects. This import method allows you to use the root layer or object of your SWF files as a smoothly rendered element in After Effects, allowing the best capabilities of each tool to work together.

Hi, Does this mean that vector swfs can be scaled unlimited without getting blurry as in Flash?

So Ntsc flsh projects can be scaled upto HD 1080 in after effects without problems?

So I’m having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

No background in Flash, just alpha background.
None of the three alpha options under “interpet footage” in after effects make any difference.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers!!
