>> [_] Anon 2034922 >># I have tried AVI2SWF and, just like FFMPEG, it produces video loops with no audio (when it works).
>> [_] ℛℯℳ¤ !4c85cw1sgM 2034928 >># Have you tried turning it off then back on again?
>> [_] Anon 2034929 Pull back on the analog stick and press the left C-button
>> [_] Anon 2034930 >># Turning what off and on again, and how would that help? Also, what software does anon endorse?
>> [_] Anon 2034934 Separate the sound track. Encode video track with ffmpeg. Import in Flash: - Layer 1 is where your soundless video is. - Layer 2 is for audio. Audio set to "Start" and "Loop". - Last frame has gotoAndPlay(1). This kind of works, but the sound desyncs if the tab in which the flash is played isn't focused.

>> [_] Anon 2034939 >># SWF files can be generated from within several Adobe products: Flash, Flash Builder (an IDE) and After Effects, as well as through MXMLC, a command line application compiler which is part of the freely available Flex SDK. Other than Adobe products, SWFs can be built with open source Motion-Twin ActionScript 2 Compiler (MTASC), the open source Ming library and the free software suite SWFTools. There are also various third party programs that can produce files in this format, such as Multimedia Fusion 2, Captivate and SWiSH Max.

>> [_] ℛℯℳ¤ !4c85cw1sgM 2034943 >># Adobe flash for animating it, photoshop for creating/editing the parts. I dont convert i make everything so i honestly couldnt help you.
>> [_] Anon 2034945 >># OK then. Well, what I want is a free GUI program where I load in the video file and export the SWF. Either that or the magical FFMPEG parameters that make it all work.
>> [_] Anon 2034946 i use wondershare video converter it converts many types of video files into swf loops, whether you want it to or not
>> [_] f4r !HanakoDlmg 2034947 >># How short is your source? If it's small enough, I'd use this as a guide: http://swfchan.org/1922/ But instead of using a GIF, just dump the individual frames. Gets to be a hassle past 20-30 though. You can use audacity to extract your audio and cut it down, and don't forget to export it as a WAV. If you load an MP3 into flash it'll have an ever-so-slight gap at the seam. Just load the WAV then compress it to MP3 within flash instead.
>> [_] Anon 2034949 >># But I already said I don't have Flash.
>> [_] Anon 2034950 >># I can't find the free version, but the YouTube video says that you can only convert 10.
>> [_] f4r !HanakoDlmg 2034952 >># Oops, sorry. Serves me right for skimming the thread.
>> [_] Anon 2034953 >># No problem. I assume you don't know any alternatives, then, hmm?
>> [_] f4r !HanakoDlmg 2034955 >># Not really. 3rd-party f;ash tools have always been fairly hit-and-miss for me so I avoid them now. You could always get a, er... liberated... copy of CS5.5.
>> [_] Anon 2034956 >># I wouldn't be able to figure it out anyways. What I'm saying is that I've got this SWFTOOLS thing who's AVI2SWF tool doesn't work well. Same with FFMPEG. I want to be able to turn my youtube videos into SWFs so that I can upload them to 4chan at the same time.
>> [_] f4r !HanakoDlmg 2034960 >># Oh, you could try Xlisoft SWF converter, it works nicely for me, and the trial copy simply has a hard limit of 3 minutes max per video (anything beyond that usually looks quite bad anyway), plus it has some built-in trimming features.
>> [_] Anon 2034962 >># Does it have a timer on the trial?
