Exporting to Macromedia Flash (SWF) format
You can export compositions as Macromedia Flash (.swf ) movies. Web browsers with the
Flash player plug-in can play the SWF format. During export, After Effects maintains
vectors as much as possible. However, raster images and certain features such as pixel
effects, layer modes, and motion blur cannot be represented as vectors in the SWF file. For
information on which After Effects features are supported for SWF export, see "Supported
features for SWF export" on page 287.
You can choose to ignore these unsupported items so that the SWF file includes only
those After Effects features that can be converted into native SWF elements, or you can
choose to rasterize frames that contain unsupported features and add them to the SWF
file as JPEG-compressed bitmaps, which may reduce the efficiency of the SWF file.
Audio is encoded in MP3 format and added to the SWF file as a stream sound.
To export a composition to Macromedia Flash (SWF) format:
1 Select the composition you want to export, and then choose File > Export > Macro-
media Flash (SWF).
