Animating on Video (Animate CC 2015)

[GabrielAviles2002]

Hello.

I've been trying to animate a .MOV video I recorded on my iPhone. Couldn't find a .MOV to .FLV converter anywhere.

Then with Adobe Media Encoder I converted it to H.264. It opened, but after I animated on it, it didn't let me export.

is there any way to export H.264 file videos on Adobe Animate? And if not, is there any way to convert .MOV files to .FLV?

Thanks.

you can convert to flv using an older ame (that comes with flash cs6).

If your goal is to have an animation on top of the original video you could export like you are doing now, to MOV, and take that file and the original video into Premiere or After Effects, to put them together and export to H.264.

When I try to embed video H.264 to timeline it says it cannot be exported. I've seen other Youtubers use FLV files, but i don't know how to convert an MOV file to an FLV.

Thanks.

Did you read my reply? What is your overall goal?

If you do have a reason to use Animate to combine the original video with your animation layer, you could install Flash Professional CS6, that comes with an old version of Adobe Media Encoder, which can make FLV files. But the results are not likely to be as good quality as you would get by combining your original video with the exported animation layer.

I'm trying to animate on the clip I shot like Marry Poppins.

Sorry, didn't quite understand your answer.

Did you say to animate on the clip on Adobe Animate CC, export only the animation and then merge the original video clip (MOV) and the animation (FLA) on Premiere?

Yes, that's what Colin meant!

Or, download Media Encoder CS6 (which comes along with Flash CS6) if you wish to generate FLV videos.

Almost. The export you get of your animation is an MOV itself. When you do the export to video, don't check the box that says to send it to Adobe Media Encoder, doing that would most likely lose the alpha channel you're going to need. Ideally you will have an original MOV that is a perfect quality version of your main video, and you'll have the exported MOV of the animation, that will have an alpha channel in it. Then the two should combine perfectly in Premiere.

Another tip, the stage quality defaults to medium, if you put this line of code into frame 1 of the timeline you will get much better quality animation:

stage.quality = "best";
