Question

Slideshow/Video with hundreds of World Maps

Hello!

We design hundreds of world maps with Adobe Illustrator which we want to include in a slideshow and video. Each world map is a (multi-layered) Adobe Illustrator artwork (.ai). The layers are needed in order to create animations (such as pulse effects for different dots on each map). We save each world map as Flash
(*.swf)
file which is the standard way for creating animated maps.

Question 1: 

At this point we want to import the .swf files into "Adobe Lightroom" and/or "Adobe Premiere" in order to create a slideshow-video. We are unsure what file format will work. How can the *.swf files be imported into Lightroom or Premiere?

Question 2:

What software is more suitable for this project? "Lightroom" or "Premiere", or both?

Thanks,

Mat

    Lightroom and Premiere Pro do not support SWF files:

    Supported file formats in Lightroom

    Premiere Pro CC supported file formats

    I am sure there are some workarounds using After Effects or other apps to port the file into Premiere Pro. I suggest posting this question in both the Premiere Pro and After Effects forums:

    Premiere Pro CC

    After Effects
