Hello, Im developing a piece of software for a client. (Developed in flash mx 2004) Anyway, my client wants to add 3D characters in the software as the narrator (which is cool, I spent almost 2 days tweaking and making a poser character that don't look so poserish) Anyway, I made the character, animated it, and all. Now when I go to render it out as a movie, I try to render it out over a white background but when I import the finish video into my flash project, it works and all, but the video is an off white color which totally destroys the flow of the interface. I tried everything to make it "PURE WHITE" so it will blend seamlessly into the flash project, and poser renders out the movie over this off white color. How can I solve this. Im not much on video so is it a setting Im missing, or is there a way I can render it out over a black background and then remove the background some how with some free or cheap software? Please help? Cedric

My suggestion, if the problem seems to be just a background color issue, would be to render it to sequential png, tiff or psd files. Since you're using Flash, I'd say PNG files are best, because you can simply import the sequence of files directly into flash and they will come in with the background transparent; at that point the background color should no longer be an issue. :) -Les

Very True, The only problem with that is that it has sound with the animation (poser/mimic). so thats why I need it in a movie format. Cedric

Actually, it would still work out quite well, you would just need to bring in the audio as a wav/mp3 and have it begin at the same frame as the imported animation frames. Thankfully I've been out of the web-biz long enough now that I don't remember what the setting was in Flash to force audio and framerates to stay in sync, but I know it can be done. The other alternative would be to recompile the sequential frames and audio back together in Premiere or some other video app, then output as a quicktime file. If I remember correctly, Flash always seemed a bit more partial to quicktime than anything else.. that may have changed over time, but like i said, my web days are beautifully in the past. :) -Les

Great advice, Im going to try the codec first to see if it works, if it don't Im gonna do the image recompile and sync it in flash. Thanks a million, Cedric
