Windows AVI (Windows)

Exports a document as a Windows video but discards any interactivity. Good for opening a Flash animation in a video-editing application. Because AVI is a bitmap-based format, documents that contain long or high-resolution animations can quickly become very large.

The Export Windows AVI dialog box has the following options:

Dimensions

Specifies a width and height, in pixels, for the frames of an AVI movie. Specify only the width or the height; the other dimension is automatically set to maintain the aspect ratio of your original document. To set both the width and the height, deselect Maintain Aspect Ratio.

Video Format

Selects a color depth. Some applications do not yet support the Windows 32‑bpc image format. If this format presents problems, use the older 24‑bpc format.

Compress Video

Select standard AVI compression options.

Smooth

Applies anti-aliasing to the exported AVI movie. Anti-aliasing produces a higher-quality bitmap image, but it can cause a halo of gray pixels to appear around images when placed over a colored background. Deselect if a halo appears.

Sound Format

Set the sample rate and size of the sound track, and whether to export in mono or stereo. The smaller the sample rate and size, the smaller the exported file, with a possible trade-off in sound quality.
