Quicktime export problems in CS4

Nov 20, 2008 11:57 AM

I am having trouble exporting Quicktime videos from Flash CS4. Previously, in Flash CS3, I got the following dialogue box:

Flash CS3 export box

Notice the fact that I can change the export resolution in this box. I set the resolution to what I want, and then click the quicktime settings box to change the movie's dimensions to what I want. The resolution settings in this picture determine what dimensions the flash movie is rendered at, not the final quicktime movie. Now, take a look at my new dialogue box:

Flash CS4 export dialogue options

Notice that I can't change the resolution settings here. If I go into the quicktime settings and export out a movie at a higher resolution, it first renders the flash file at the native resolution in the picture and then upsizes it to the quicktime resolution, resulting in a very low-quality, blurry movie.

Does anyone know how I can render out a quality quicktime movie in CS4?

    Hi,

    You cannot get a good quality MOV if you export a video with higher resolution than the original SWF. If the final size should be larger than the SWF movie, you should recreate the Flash movie with that final dimension you want for the video.

    We removed the size settings from the Quicktime Export Settings dialog because rescaling the movie while exporting will drop frames which will change the frame rate. Users had asked us to preserve a WYSIWYG experience.

    Thanks,

    That's the stupidest thing I ever heard of!! How can you remove the option for determining the size of my movie?! If the size of the frame influances the frame rate, you should have fixed that. With this it means I have to make my flash file 1920x1080 if I want the quicktime movie to be HD, not a pixel less.

     

    Is there a way to override this? A plug-in or something that wil let me determine the size of the qiucktime movie independetly of the size of the flash file?
