Flash Lite/i-Mode
Use if you're intending to export a keyframe animation for mobile users
operating mobile phones, personal organizers, and more. The format is
optimized for viewing on smaller screen displays. The outputted file type is the
same as that for Flash export, with a SWF file extension.
To export to Flash Lite/i-Mode:
1. Choose Export>Export as Flash Lite/i-Mode... from the File menu.
2. From the dialog, provide a ShockWave Flash file name and folder
location, and click the Save button. You'll see an export progress
dialog appear until the file is created.
Video
Exported video formats include:
• QuickTime. The QuickTime video and animation format (MOV)
developed by Apple Computer. It can be read on many platforms,
including Microsoft Windows (needs QuickTime Player) and of
course on Apple computers.
• Serif Transparent Video. The STV format is a useful proprietary
format which can export animated text and logos with transparent
backgrounds. The export benefits Serif MoviePlus users who would
like to use their keyframe animation as an overlay (of titles, animated
characters, etc.).
• Video for Windows. The Windows Audio Video Interleave file (AVI)
is ideal for playback on a Windows computer. Defined by Microsoft, it
supports different types of video, audio and image sequences in sync
with a mono or stereo sound track along with compression (via a wide
variety of codecs). AVIs are mainly for viewing on a computer.
Appropriate codecs have to be installed on the computer.
