Perhaps i’m not making myself clear, and thanks for the replies btw. The quicktimes i’m using in FCP are converted from ‘video quicktime’ exports from flash, then recompressed in AE with addition compositing and effects. Correct me if i’m wrong, i’m rendering out quicktime files with animation compression from AE at 720 x 486 D1. My sequence settings in FCP are set to the same. They are not ‘flash’ movies, but quicktimes rendered using flash source files. I’m intercutting someones reel that has both original source flash animation and straight after effects animations.
I do understand what you are saying about .fla files and flash codec quicktimes, i those don’t work at all.
In theory, to me, it seems that the converted flash movies out of AE should act the same way as any other file exported from AE to FCP. It has been working and i’m getting results, though there is still this odd playback problem where part of the image seems to freeze or ‘stick’ when scrubbing over the file in the sequence. It has been a good way to get flash animations to Digibeta, but the sequence gliching is driving me crazy.
thanks again!
