In the first tutorial we discussed the basics of After Effects and transitioning your work from there into Flash. The second tutorial we took a look at 3 essential skills (Working with green screen footage, Creating masks and Creating loops). In this 3rd post, we'll discuss things to keep in mind when exporting from After Effects to Flash as well as review some performance test results.

In the first tutorial we discussed the basics of After Effects and transitioning your work from there into Flash. This post will focus on three essential skills: Working with green screen footage, Creating masks and Creating loops. We hope you enjoy and if you do not enjoy, we hope you learn something. And if you neither enjoy nor learn something - we can do nothing for you other than ask...Why did you read through the whole bloody mess?
Flash is a great starting point for animations designed for the Web. But when it comes to more realistic motion effects, Flash is certainly limited. Enter After Effects. The combination of Flash and After Effects enables animators to create a broader cache of animations and techniques and ultimately develop more compelling deliverables. The goal of this three part analysis is to touch on the topics most beginners want and need to know in order to get started with integrating After Effects and Flash. Beyond beginner level topics, the 3rd and final post will touch on performance issues, concepts, and methods.
