About QuickTime
Flash provides two methods of exporting Flash documents as QuickTime:
- QuickTime export
-
Exports a QuickTime file that can be distributed as streaming video, on a DVD, or used in a video 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.
- Publish as QuickTime
-
Creates an application with a Flash track in the same QuickTime format installed on your 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.
Exports all layers in the Flash document as a single Flash track, unless the document contains an imported QuickTime movie. The imported QuickTime movie remains in QuickTime format in the exported application.
