Importing video using the Video Import wizard 291
3. If you imported the video clip directly to the Stage in step 1, a warning appears if the
imported clip contains more frames than the span in which you are placing it in the current
Flash document. Do one of the following:
■ Click Yes to extend the span the required number of frames.
■ Click No to keep the span at its current size. Frames in the imported clip that exceed
the frames in the span do not appear unless you subsequently add frames to the span.
You can preview a linked QuickTime video before you publish your SWF file. When you
import a linked QuickTime video, Flash adds the required number of frames to preview the
QuickTime video, the same as it does for an embedded video.
To preview a linked QuickTime video:
■ Select Control > Play.
Changing the directory path of a linked QuickTime
video
You can set the directory path of a linked QuickTime video clip in the library for the current
Flash document.
To set the directory path of a linked QuickTime video clip:
1. Select Window > Library, and select the desired linked QuickTime video.
2. In the options menu in the upper right corner of the Library panel, select Properties.
3. Click Set Path in the Linked Video Properties dialog box.
4. In the Open dialog box, navigate to the file for the linked video clip and select it, and then
click Open.
5. In the Linked Video Properties dialog box, click OK.
Editing video clips in the Video Import wizard
The Video Import wizard provides editing options that let you edit video as you import it.
You can select in and out points for a clip, create multiple clips from one imported clip, and
select other editing options. Editing as you import video clips is especially useful with raw
footage.
NOTE
You cannot preview linked QuickTime video content using the Test Movie command.
