Can I make animate CC export a video with a high quality gradient?
My gradients look stripey, even if I import images from Photoshop, clearly it only outputs 256 colors. I need it to look smooth, is this possible? if so how?
When animating for video export, make sure you're using ActionScript 3.0 FLA, and not HTML5 Canvas FLA. That will help with sound sync, and also gives you more filter options.
Make all graphics in the library be Lossless, and Allow Smoothing.
In frame 1's Actions panel you could add this code:
stage.quality = "16x16";
That will make it use a very high quality antialiasing when it creates the SWF that is used in the export.
If those things don't fix the gradients you may need to fix them before bringing the image into Animate. In 24 bit color there are only 256 blues, and Photoshop can using dithering to make that seem less banded. I'm not sure if Animate's smoothing does quite as well as Photoshop.
