hello,

I’m trying to import a high quality quicktime movie into my fla document. I’m going through these steps:  
Import \> Import Video \> selecting the file \> Embed video in swf and play in timeline \> for Symbol type i’m keeping it at Embedded video : Place instance on stage : Expand timeline if needed : Embed the entire video \> Under Encoding Profiles : Custom: Under Video: Quality : High max data rate: 700 kilobits per second \> Then I hit import.

Now the big question is, when i export the whole file its not as crisp and clear as the original quicktime movie. I’m exporting it as a swf, is there something I’m doing wrong?

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks
