506 Exporting
Macromedia Flash Video (FLV)
The Macromedia FLV file format lets you import or export a static video stream with encoded
audio. This format is intended for use with communications applications, such as video
conferencing and files that contain screen share encoded data exported from the Flash
Communication Server.
When you export video clips with streaming audio in FLV format, the audio is compressed
using the Streaming Audio settings in the Publish Settings dialog box. For information on
audio settings, see “Setting publish options for the Flash SWF file format” on page 461.
Files in the FLV format are compressed with the Sorensen codec. See “About the On2 VP6
and Sorenson Spark video codecs” on page 280.
To export a video clip in FLV format:
1. Select the video clip in the Library panel.
2. Select Properties from the Library options menu.
3. In the Embedded Video Properties dialog box, click Export.
4. In the Save As dialog box, enter a name for the exported file. Select a location where it will
be saved, and click Save.
5. In the Embedded Video Properties dialog box, click OK to close the dialog box.
JPEG Sequence and JPEG Image
The JPEG export options match the JPEG Publish Settings options with one exception: the
Match Screen export option makes the exported image match the size of the Flash content as
it appears on your screen. The Match Movie publishing option makes the JPEG image the
same size as the Flash content and maintains the aspect ratio of the original image.
For more information, see “Specifying publish settings for JPEG files” on page 472.
PICT (Macintosh)
PICT is the standard graphics format on the Macintosh and can contain bitmap or vector
information. Use the Export PICT dialog box to set the following options:
Dimensions sets the size of the exported bitmap image specified in pixels. Flash ensures that
the size you specify always has the same aspect ratio as your original image.
Resolution sets the resolution in dpi and has Flash automatically calculate width and height
based on the size of your drawing. To set the resolution to match your monitor, select Match
Screen. Bitmap PICT images usually look best onscreen with 72-dpi resolution.
