FLASH IN A COMMERCIAL

[901_David]

Ok I dont really use flash at all, but I am working on a commercial in which
the person who hired me wants to use a flash animation in super high quality as
a part of the commercial, I am using a macpro FCP 5 9 gigs ram etc you get the
picture. Basically i am trying to figure out how to get flash into FCP 5. I
think I know how simply export it into the animation codec under quicktime,
although I have been told on an FCP forum this will work but looks incredibly
bad....in fact I was encouraged to frget even trying to use flash it will look
so bad. As I reported this back to my boss he claims not true that flash is
being used in moveis all the time now.....does anyone know about this.....high
quality flash files in animation codec? do they work out when used in
broadcast quality productions?

Flash has been used for broadcast animation. Check out this book by Sandro
Corsaro. It explains everything that is needed to produce Flash for broadcast.

A lot of it is Adobe After Effects which then is imported into Flash...

According to this book, it's Flash exported to Quicktime. Started out vector... ended up raster.

Is it plugged in? Have you tried rebooting it?
