Tnx Guys. So it doesn’t look like moving folders in your own order has been implemented yet. Yikes! Would have thought that to be an option by now. I deal with a ton of animation frames, so I’ll have folders like:

scene1
scene2
scene1redux
scene1redux2
scene3
etc.

The problem is that if I’ve got 20 of those, something like scene1redux and scene1redux2 goes to the bottom of the list, heh. I can always place it into the scene1 folder but it would have been nice to simple place them in the order I’d like instead of nesting. Ah well…

[Scott Gene]

Nevermind. Just made a folder with 30 numbered folders and set that aside. I can then copy and paste that folder, and renameaccordingly – while the 1-30 numbered folders inside remain intact.

Duh!

lol

[Scott Gene]

Hmm. I actually have Handbrake on my MacBook. Forgot about that, and will give it a try as well. Tnx.

[Scott Gene]

Doh.

I think this is a CS4 only feature. I’m running CS3 and there’s an export to Adobe Flash Video option, but no H.264 as the compression.

Grr.

Thanks for the assist, though.

[Scott Gene]

Thanks for the replies, Daniel/Chris. But I’m still a bit lost from a workflow standpoint.

The H.264 compression. I’m really fuzzy on this point. Where/when/how do I incorporate the H.264?

I’m in Premiere. Do I export via the Media Encoder and select H.264? Then import video into Flash and select the .3gp file?

Sorry, totally lost here on the workflow of this. I need to be able to play the film within Flash. I would normally just import my uncompressed AVI into Flash, convert into FLV, and use my own movie container to play the FLV. This is usually done with a much smaller resolution, so it looks great. Now, however, I’m needing the resolution to be 1280×720 and look great, lol. I hope I’m making sense.

[Scott Gene]

Hi Daniel, thanks.

I created the source material in 3D Studio Max. The source images are all tif files @ 1280×720.

Source images then dumped into Premiere, then into an uncompressed AVI. AVI -> FLV. No matter what my settings, I can’t get a really clean vid. Size isn’t a concern, as this won’t be going over the web. It’s for a touch screen display with local hardware.

When you reference H.264; where does that Quicktime codec go in the workflow? Sorry, bit confused here on that.

[Scott Gene]

Any tips on getting an HD flv to not be pixelated? I’m creating an interactive Flash piece that’s destined to be viewed on 52″ LCDs, and need to show some full screen video as well. All attempts at creating a smooth and clean FLV have failed.

Thoughts?

[Scott Gene]

Thanks gents. Excellent. Found the bin replace option. Nice.

And I was saving as a different name because I’m a dunce. 😉

Anyone? Is there a way to smooth your paint stroke WHILE you are drawing with the Wacom?

[Scott Gene]

Heya, sorry I should have been more clear.

I’m looking for some way to smooth the pen during regular Paint; not vector paint. In the AE help files the only smooth pen reference was for Vector.

The issue is this, laying down a paint stroke with the pen sometimes results in a bit of jaggy fun. In Flash you can easily set the smoothing, and wondering if AE has something similar.
