I've always had - there's always dropped frames or parts that just slow up and get choppy. Anyhow, tonight while trying to make nice .mov files so I can upload my animations online, I finally figured out an export method to make nice smooth animation quicktime files! Maybe some of you already know this, but I thought I'd share in case you don't:</div><div><br /></div><div>To start, be in Flash CS4. (because I've never noticed this function before in CS3)</div><div><br /></div><div>File > Export > Export Movie</div><div>A window will pop up asking where you wanna save it, so find your folder and stuff - and in the dropdown for "Format" make sure it says "Quicktime".</div><div>In the next window that pops up, click the "Quicktime Settings" button on the bottom left of the window. Then under "Video" click "Settings..."</div><div><br /></div><div>Now here's the new part: under "Compression Type" there are two options at the bottom called "Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2" and "Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2" (In the past, everyone's always recommended going with "None" or "Animation" but it still doesn't quite do it right). Either 10 or 8 bit has worked fine, not sure what the difference is yet (maybe it has to do with color, so far only tried it on the grayscale pencil drawings).</div><div><br /></div><div>Now hit "OK" (I tend to keep most of the other options at the default), and "OK". A little warning window about the Quicktime frame rate being set to match the Flash frame rate might pop up, just "OK" it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now you will be back in the "Quicktime Export Settings" window and you can click "Export" and voila! You will have a nice .mov file without any of those awful choppy skips.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope this helps!</div>Yvonnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07949213764765838072noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846548228706005834.post-58640332776616237272009-11-10T19:44:00.000-08:002009-11-10T20:01:17.351-08:00<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial">INVITATION FEST – TRAINING GROUND PORTUGAL 2010 FROM 21 to 26 JUNE</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial">To register please go to our website <a href="http://www.trainingground.fest.pt">www.trainingground.fest.pt</a></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial">We wish to invite you to be a participant in FEST – Training Ground, that will take place from the 21st to the 26t of June 2010 in Espinho, Portugal</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial; min-height: 18.0px"><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial">We are happy to announce the opening of the registration for FEST – Training Ground 2010, be sure to be the first one to register as this campus availability is set to fly fast.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Arial">As launching promotion campaign we will have 15 no accommodation packs available for 49€ for the first to book, and we will open the best campus first (the one 5 minutes walking from the venues) so if you want to be all together in the central campus you can!

So naming your images is a great way to keep track of all your files (and not get confused) It's super basic and easy, so feel free to skip over this if you know how already :P<div><br /></div><div>Your action should already be set up. When that's ready to go (like you would normally) File> Automate> Batch [choose your action and source]</div><div><br /></div><div>Here's where the fun begins: In the same Batch window instead of clicking 'Okay' right away adjust the File Naming which is part of the Destination (Folder> Choose) </div><div><br /></div><div>File Naming has a helpful 'Example' which will change as you adjust the drop down options. I usually type in for 'Document Name' the name of the project and my name then + (change default extension to 2 Digit Serial Number)+ (in the third drop down>) extension. It should end up looking like this in your Example: ProjectName01 (.ext)</div><div><br /></div><div>Alrighty, hope that was helpful, cheers you guys!</div>Jean Yihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13064363017556399810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846548228706005834.post-74259532738272025802009-10-15T07:18:00.001-07:002009-10-15T07:20:11.791-07:00maryland film festival<a href="http://www.md-filmfest.com/sub.cfm?ID=11">http://www.md-filmfest.com/sub.cfm?ID=11</a><div>if you have films to submit consider the Maryland film festival, Mica students should have a chance as being in Baltimore</div>Laurencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06651641126142875331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-846548228706005834.post-55153326488207302042009-10-09T20:12:00.000-07:002009-10-09T20:33:35.935-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLEMo5FUBVuZnp9kZ8JISoSt3BM-4VngbKmQZk5ZLj-catplZRdn-Xw0MRBdhrrrU5898D17eFWeoVwxaaos-6lCaPAdMlPlraiAP_7jabd47I70rxOg9rSiCwbQiA2NWGI_Uhjah_DU0/s1600-h/DSC_0154.JPG"><img style="float:left;
