The QuickTime Video format converts the Flash project into a sequence of bitmaps embedded in the file's video track. The Flash content is exported as a bitmap image without any interactivity. This format is useful for editing Flash content in a video-editing application.

The Export QuickTime Video dialog box contains the following options:

Dimensions specifies a width and height in pixels for the frames of a QuickTime movie. By default, you can specify only the width or the height, and the other dimension is automatically set to maintain the aspect ratio of your original movie.To set both the width and the height, deselect Maintain Aspect Ratio.

Format selects a color depth. Options are black-and-white; 4-, 8-, 16-, or 24-bit color; and 32-bit color with alpha (transparency).

Smooth applies anti-aliasing to the exported QuickTime movie. Anti-aliasing produces a higher-quality bitmap image, but it may cause a halo of gray pixels to appear around images when placed over a colored background. Deselect the option if a halo appears.

Compressor selects a standard QuickTime compressor. See your QuickTime documentation for more information.

Quality controls the amount of compression applied to your movie. The effect depends on the compressor selected.

Sound Format sets the export rate for sounds in the movie. Higher rates yield better fidelity and larger files. Lower rates save space.
