Hey y'all,
whats the best settings to convert a swf to quicktime (or export settings directly from the .fla)? We need to send an animation to the sound guy and all the formats we tried get a little glitchy.
thanks
P.S. I'm also googling it right now, so yeah, no need to lmgtfy me...

Best bet is to export from Flash, but that only works with really basic animation (graphic clips if I remember rightly and no AS) so you might have to redo some elements.

Quicktime supports mov file. You need to convert SWF to mov if you want to play flash video on Quicktime. I suggest Moyea swf to video converter std,it can convert swf to all kind of video formats including mov.

if your soundguy just needs a reference, why not just do a video screen capture?

You need to search for a SWF to Video convertor. Screen recording just doesn't always seem to get the correct frame rate. Flash's export to quicktime feature sucks a big one too (even though it now exports mc's with actionscript).
When I was on a PC, I used this software to capture my animations to use in my reel as video (Then AVI to QT).Worked awesome. Their site sucks but their software kicks ass. It captured my Flash animations exactly how they should be seen, even captures the interactivity.
http://www.adshareit.comI always hear stuff about techsmith camtasia but have never used it personally. A lot of folks use it though. I always feel like those "screen recording" softwares just don't capture the actual frame rate of the movie but I could be incorrect.
OSX's Quicktime Player X has screen recording but it sucks. Doesn't do anywhere near a fast enough frame rate (like 5 frames a second or something like that).

but its audio. regardless of what framerate your flash animation is in, and what framerate you capture, 1 second is 1 second. if the audioguy is doing sound design to the reference movie, it should all match up when you drop the aif/wav in flash.
ishowU has recording framerates of 2fps to 40fps

CS3 onwards you can export .fla's directly to .mov from flash (including scripted animation).
File > Export > Export Movie
Export using the Animation codec - Works the best for me.Hope that helps.

one tip... if you have nested mcs, and you export the movie, you'll only get the first frame of the mc in the .mov. to fix this, you can convert the mc to loopable graphics and then drag the instance over the correct amount of frames. obviously, this can get tricky as things nest further and further, but just thought that i'd mention it.

If you're on a mac, downlaod the free application called Perian. Then simply open the file in your Quicktime Pro player and export it in any format you want.
