Exported MOV from Adobe Animate is always blurry

[firefly8]

Hi,

My exported videos from Adobe Animate are always blurry so I'm just wondering whether this is the problem with the software? I used all the vector graphics and they still appear blurry in the video so anything that I have missed??

thanks!

It might be helpful if you told us exactly what export settings you used.

Hi, here is my setting.

The settings seem ok, though it's strange that it sees the source video as 29.97 fps. Why is it you're not animating at the target frame rate of 25 fps?

That aside, look at the VBR 1 pass option, try VBR 2 pass.

[firefly8]

I can use 25fps if i need to as I saw another online post asking to use 30 fps.

Will try the VBR 2 pass and see the difference.

thanks!

25 fps would make a slight improvement to the quality too.

Exporting HD video

Before you begin exporting, do the following:

• Install QuickTime
• Set the frame-rate to a value equal to or less than 60 fps. For more information, see Animation Basics.

1. Create or open an existing FLA.

2. Go to File > Export > Export Video.

3. On the Export Video dialog, the Render Width and Render Height assume width and height values set for Stage size.

4. On the Export Video dialog:

   • Render Size H and W: Configure the render size according to the resolution in which you want to export, depending on whether you want to export HD video or normal. Set the values equal to the Width and Height of the Stage, respectively. If you want to change the Render Width and Render Height values, then modify the Stage size accordingly. Animate maintains the aspect ratio as per the Stage dimensions.
   • Ignore Stage Color (generate alpha channel): Creates an alpha channel using the stage color. The alpha channel is encoded as a transparent track. It lets you overlay the exported QuickTime movie on top of other content to alter the background color or scene.
   • Convert Video in Adobe Media Encoder: Select this option if you want to convert the exported MOV file to a different format using AME. If selected, AME is launched after Animate completes exporting the video.
   • Stop Exporting: Specify when Animate terminates exporting.
     • When The Last Frame is Reached: Select this option if you want to terminate at the last frame.
     • After Time Elapsed: Select this option and specify the time span after which you want to terminate exporting. The option allows you to export sections of the video, separately.
   • Path for the Exported Video: Enter or browse to the path where you want to export the video.

5. Click Export. If you selected the Convert video in Adobe Media Encoder option, AME is launched and the exported MOV file is available in a new queue. To know more about encoding and converting videos using AME, see Encode and Export Video and Audio.

The default stage quality is "medium", and exporting video first makes a SWF, that then gets converted to video. You can dramatically improve the quality by putting this into the Actions panel of frame 1 of the timeline:

stage.quality = "best";

The default stage quality is high, not medium.

Thanks for the correction. I may have been remembering the setting for mobile.
