MOV to SWF

In Flash MX 2004 if you File->Import a Quicktime movie it will automatically convert it to Flash format. Then you can generate an SWF file from your stage.

Just curious: why would you want to do that?

really really tiny files.

Took an animation fro 25 megs to 500k with a flash conversion. The frame rate isn't fabulous and there's some compression, but its still teeeeny. Its the splash page of my website.

Isn't it safer to recompress the Quicktime file into a new smaller one? You have more power over its compression configuration if you do it, and more options.

thanks, i didn't know flash mx could do that.

i was going to submit an animation to newgrounds but your files have to be in swf format.

I have no idea. I've always wanted to do that.

Do keep in mind, Flash is not actually converting the movie into a vector format. It is only working as a player for the movie format. So, if you just need a .swf extension, this will work; but it won't work if you actually want to convert the video into vectors. At least not without a lot of extra work involved. It also will not lower the file size by much unless you compress the video by a large margin.

MOV to SWF

yes this geovid tool will do the job but you will also need to install quicktime alternative codec. i've downloaded it for free from geovid site also

I use iDealshare VideoGo to

I use iDealshare VideoGo to convert mp4 to swf, or convert mov to swf

In fact, it can convert between MP4, SWF, MOV, AVI, WMV, 3GP, MKV, MPG, DV, and etc video format.

It even can convert video to audio format like convert SWF or MOV or MP4 to MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF, AAC, WMA, etc

Hope it also helps for you.
