I currently use a non-Adobe product to edit home videos, and occasionally insert animations I have created in Flash for things like menus and chapter introductions. Of course, I have to use another utility to convert the SWF file to a format that I can import into my video editing software. And I don’t bother with sound or music in the Flash animation because that never ends up being in sync with the animation by the time it gets imported, so I just deal with the sound or music within the video editing software. This works, but is a rather tedious process.
Anyway, I’m looking to upgrade to a 21st century video editing product, and one of the options I’m looking at is Adobe Premiere (or one of the CS products that includes Premiere). What would tip the scale in Adobe’s favor is the integration of Flash animations with Premiere. (I’m not looking to edit the animation in Premiere, just the ability to use an already-created animation.) From what I’ve been able to gather, such integration is not part of CS. In the hopes that I’ve missed something, however, I am posting this message. So, does CS do what I’ve described?
