Newbie size problem importing a Flash video

Post by eatc7402 »

I created a small Flash movie. Then imported it into VS. The frame size of the flash movie does not fit the edit screen size in VS.

I am a newbie at both VS and Flash.

I measured the pixel size of the edir screen, and 'set' my Document properties in Flash to that size. But the Flash movie comes in 'too big' for the screen.

Not quite where my problem is... in Flash... in VS??

Hi Dave,

What size did you create your Flash movie? It should be the same size as your video project or smaller. Take into account the 10% Title Safe area.
What Flash authoring program did you use?

I've done some flash that I've used with VS9 and I just create my movie size to no larger then the 720 x 480 (for NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL).

If you are creating a a lower third then you don't want the Flash movie to be any larger then 160 px for NTSC, 192 px for PAL. I'm just roughly figuring 1/3rd of the height. I generally use a 60 or 100 px height for lower thirds..
