Embed HD Video in Adobe Animate Timeline?

I'm hoping to update a Flash application that embeds video into the timeline.

Is it possible to embed HD video in Adobe Animate timelines?

You can still only have FLV embedded in a SWF timeline, but those can be HD, just give the On2VP6 encoder a higher data rate, and a 1920x1080 size.

There are various ways to have video appear in a scene. What is the final playback platform you're targeting? Do you need animations to be on top of the video in a frame accurate way?

    Hi Colin,

    Good to see you’re still active in the Flash/Animate arena. I had to, sadly, part ways with Flash, for the most part, since even though Animate allows you to export to an html5 version, that version doesn’t comply with 508 Accessibility standards, and working for the county, there wasn’t much of an option to continue down that path. Very frustrating to see such a powerful platform be forced to the roadside.

    However, I do have legacy product I’m still trying to support with new video content, so I’m very happy to hear that HD is supported, thank you for that information.

    Can you suggest a data rate I should use?

    Also, I’m currently having to use an online source to convert my H.264 files to .flv, since, as you mentioned in a post, Adobe has stripped .flv output capabilities from Media Encoder. Is there a better way to be converting to .flv these days?

    Thank again, Colin. You’ve always been a valued wealth of information.

    Mike

    One worry with embedded video is that it presumably is all in RAM at some point. I would try 2 mbps as starting point, then come down from that if it crashes, or go up if the quality isn't good enough.

    If you have a CC subscription to can download Flash Pro CS6, which is useful to have for support of AS2 files, or TLF, etc. Part of the install is AME CS6, and that still supports FLV, so that's what I would use.
