About QuickTime
Flash provides two methods of exporting Flash documents as QuickTime:
Exports a QuickTime file that can be distributed as streaming video, on a DVD, or used in a video
QuickTime export
editing application such as Adobe® Premiere®. QuickTime export is intended for users who want to distribute Flash
content, such as animation, in the Quicktime video format.
Be aware that the performance of the computer used to export QuickTime video may affect the quality of the video.
If Flash is unable to export each frame, it will drop frames, resulting in poor video quality. If you encounter dropped
frames, try using either a faster computer with more memory, or reduce the frames per second of the Flash
document.
Creates an application with a Flash track in the same QuickTime format installed on your
Publish as QuickTime
computer. This lets you combine the interactive features of Flash with the multimedia and video features of
QuickTime in a single QuickTime 4 movie, which anyone with QuickTime 4 or later can view.
If you import a video clip (in any format) into a document as an embedded file, you can publish the document as a
QuickTime movie. If you import a video clip in QuickTime format into a document as a linked file, you can also
publish the document as a QuickTime movie.
