ABSTRACT

Flash to video FLASH IS EVERYWHERE. NOT ONLY IS FLASH THE development tool for animation, websites, games and applications, but also for DVD and broadcast television. In fact, my first years as a Flash user were spent authoring Flash content for several broadcast animated series. Exporting from Flash to video formats (QuickTime and AVI) to be imported and edited in an Avid workstation was my only authoring requirement of Flash. I had no knowledge of Flash for the Web, including ActionScript, optimizing, preloaders and even buttons of any kind. It was analog Flash at its purest, and that was the Flash world in which I lived. Today, I still use many of the same Flash-to-video techniques for many client projects with the added benefit of an improved QuickTime Exporter from Adobe.
