508 Exporting
If you import a video clip (in any format) into a document as an embedded file, you can
publish the document as a QuickTime movie. If you have imported a video clip in
QuickTime format into a document as a linked file, you can also publish the document as a
QuickTime movie.
When you export Flash content as a QuickTime movie, all layers in the Flash document are
exported as a single Flash track, unless the Flash document contains an imported QuickTime
movie. The imported QuickTime movie remains in QuickTime format in the exported
application.
These export options are identical to QuickTime publish options. See “Specifying publish
settings for QuickTime videos” on page 476.
QuickTime Video (Macintosh)
The QuickTime Video format converts the Flash document into a sequence of bitmaps
embedded in the file’s video track. The Flash content is exported as a bitmap image without
any interactivity. This format is useful for editing Flash content in a video-editing application.
The Export QuickTime Video dialog box contains the following options:
Dimensions specifies a width and height in pixels for the frames of a QuickTime movie. By
default, you can specify only the width or the height, and the other dimension is
automatically set to maintain the aspect ratio of your original document.To set both the width
and the height, deselect Maintain Aspect Ratio.
Format selects a color depth. Options are black-and-white; 4-, 8-, 16-, or 24-bit color; and
32-bit color with alpha (transparency).
Smooth applies anti-aliasing to the exported QuickTime movie. Anti-aliasing produces a
higher-quality bitmap image, but it can cause a halo of gray pixels to appear around images
when placed over a colored background. Deselect the option if a halo appears.
Compressor selects a standard QuickTime compressor. For more information, see your
QuickTime documentation.
Quality controls the amount of compression applied to your Flash content. The effect
depends on the compressor selected.
Sound Format sets the export rate for sounds in the document. Higher rates yield better
fidelity and larger files. Lower rates save space.
