Since you are talking about conversion instead of export, there’s a few options but the quick and dirty way for me is to just use OT Pro and ‘Export’ as AVI, then in Options>Settings for video, use Compression: None. There are other AVI options if you have a handle on what other codecs can do for you.

Ah,
Just thought of something this morning. Make an animated gif with the top layer the same color as your background, give it enough of a delay to load the rest of the page content, then image #2 or whatever after. Play once only.HTH

You can also use an animated gif for this venture which can be created in a number of different graphics apps like Photoshp or PS Elements but you’ll still need scripting to trigger the event when you desire for it to happen.

It’s not going to happen without scripting of some kind. Plain-vanilla HTML has no capability to (in effect) drop an image from behind the page – through a hidden slot – and then appear in a container cell.
Use AE if you wish, and create a title to export to Flash and change the Flash scripting to fade in (or just run) your image or image sequence inside of a cell along with some Javascript scripting to handle the when’s and conditions.

Quicktime Pro does indeed have H.264 as an export option. Renders great video for $35.00

FWIW
Foam boards can be glued together with adhesive for thickness and I have heard of sculptors freezing foam in ice and then sculpting with saws and files for really nice edges and contours. -
At 1024 X 768 or 1280 X 1024, I am not able to access any player controls. The movies open much too big.
Thanks

I got an idea of my own and did some looking around in Photoshop Elements 4. I found Save For Web as an option and recreated my layers, set my duration, saved the proj as GIF and it works with no missing layers.
I suppose it’s one of those ‘whatever it takes’ things but doesn’t resolve why it’s not working in CS3.
Next step,
What does it take to export to swf so I can extend my capabilities to Flash? -
Just some minor adjustments in your explanation and using the handles for each layer in the timeline to adjust the duration of each image to 2 seconds each got me a working animation – with one flaw. All layers play out correctly in the timeline but the last layer is omitted from the animation in the Save For Web dialog. (Also missing in the saved animation)
I will try a different set of images next to see if there’s anything about my first set that’s amiss but I don’t think so. The last layer just doesn’t show up.
You know lot’s. Got any ideas?

Ok, looks like I’m striking out here. I did find Animation but then I hit the wall.
I have four graphics of the same size (black text on a white background) that I want to overlay (one on top of the other) in a web page and have them repeat continously. I’ve made jpgs, gif. pngs, and psd’s but do not understand layers very well so really do not know where to start in this process.
Do I need to create a layer for each image first? If so, that’s where the fun stops as I can’t see how to do that.
Thanks
