import to flash

#1

i done a animation in Lightwave for my website intro.
but when im import my video to flash, it became low quality. I’ve choose the higher quality in flash, but still not that high enuf my 3d video quality.
Normally how they put their 3d animation into flash? How to make it high quality as the same quality with the video?izzit import frame by frame using tiff files?

Hi, choose “Advanced settings” in the video encoding window and set Quality to Custom. Now, choose a high data rate (say 1600 kb per sec…)…this should import your video into the Flash application with higher quality.

You do not say how you want your video be displayed by Flash-player. The best method is to use the video component…its bad practice to embed video as part of the timeline of a *.swf-file - that option is acient and dates back to the days of Flash 5. Also, embeding video into a *.swf-file will generate a huge file which also will limit the length of the video (limit is about 13000 frames…I think). If you choose to use the video component (which is widely in use today…chech “any” newspaper site, e.g.) you should use the Flash video encoder utility which comes bundled with the Flash application. You do not need to have a video-server since the video component can be set to download progressivly (“streaming”) using a simple http-call.
