Newgrounds Swf Converter To Gif
Giovanna Qiu
Swivel is the best solution for converting your Adobe Flash movies into high-definition video. Swivel takes an SWF file and exports a video at any desired resolution, complete with audio and no dropped frames!
Best of all, Swivel is completely free and open source, made out of a desire to help the animation community. If Swivel is helpful to you, please consider showing your thanks by supporting Newgrounds!
That's it! The default settings will export a 1080p quality MP4 in the same folder as your SWF file. When the conversion is complete, you can click the filename on the completion screen to immediately open the video in your default video player.
For movies with a preloader or other menus, you can skip these segments by changing the Start Frame and End Frame settings. Swivel shows a small preview of the selected frame so that you can ensure that you are skipping any unwanted content.
If you specify multiple SWF files, Swivel will glue them together back-to-back into a single video. This allows you to split your movie into separate SWF files, avoiding the Flash slowness and instability from working on a large file.
Tip: Each SWF in the input list should have the same frame rate. Swivel sets the frame rate of the video to the frame rate of the first SWF. If following SWFs have differing frame rates, they will play at the incorrect speed in the final video.
Swivel defaults to Frame Range. starting on the first frame and ending on the last frame of the movie. If your movie has preloaders or other unwanted content, you can tweak the frame numbers to skip the unwanted content. When you change the Start or End Frame, Swivel will display a small preview of that frame on the screen.
Tip: If Swivel shows the SWF as only having one or two frames, the cartoon might be embedded inside a movie clip or have other complexities. In these cases, it is best to use Manual mode to start and end recording where you'd like.
The Render Quality slider controls the stage quality exactly like the Quality menu does when you right-click a Flash movie. Swivel ignores any quality settings done inside the movie itself and will draw every frame using the Render Quality setting.
Tip: Swivel contains a secret Higher and Highest quality setting. You can access it by holding down the Control or Command key and dragging the Render Quality slider. However, these settings are significantly slower and may cause artifacts in some content due to bugs in the Flash Player. Use at your own risk!
If the Bitmap Smoothing setting is checked, then all Swivel will automatically smooth any bitmaps. This will avoid pixelation when the SWF is upscaled to higher resolutions. If Bitmap Smoothing is unchecked, then Swivel obeys the "Allow smoothing" option in the Symbol properties of each bitmap in the original FLA file.
The Output Video Name box specifies the path of the exported video. Swivel defaults to an MP4 file with the same name as the first SWF file. The extension of the video is chosen based on the Video Codec. Changing this extension may result in an unplayable video.
If Transparent Background is checked, then Swivel will not draw the background stage of the SWF, and will instead render a video with an alpha channel. Transparent Background requires use of the QuickTime Animation codec.
The Video Codec determines the compression used for the video. The default is H.264, which is good for most applications. Note that some codecs like Uncompressed AVI will use large amounts of disk space.
Video Bitrate specifies the target bitrate for the Video Codec. Higher bitrates will improve quality and reduce compression artifacts, but increase file size. If the the selected codec is lossless, the slider will be disabled.
Tip: Swivel uses the audio data from the SWF file, which is often already compressed. For the best audio quality, set the audio compression in your source FLA to Raw or high bitrate MP3 in Flash's Publish Settings.
Swivel will scale your movie to any resolution, including 720p and 1080p. Vector art is rendered at the desired resolution, maintaining quality and sharpness. Filters are also tweaked depending on the output resolution.
Yes! Unlike other converters which just record low-quality audio from your microphone input, Swivel uses the sound files directly from the SWF to mix a master audio track in stereo. You can also specify an external audio track.
Yes! All filter types and blend modes are supported. Swivel also upscales all filters to match the output dimensions of the video. For example, if your source SWF is 640x360 but you are outputting the video twice as large at 1280x720, Swivel will change 5px blur filters into 10px blur filters.
Yes! Swivel should capture sounds played via ActionScript. Sound transforms such as panning and volume are also supported. Note that the sound must be embedded in the SWF. Sounds loaded from an external URL are not supported. Dynamic sound generation using SampleDataEvent is also not supported.
Swivel stops recording when the main timeline reaches the End Frame. If the movie has a stop action before that frame, then it might never reach that last frame. If this happens, you can click the Cancel button to manually signal that the movie has ended. You can also tweak the End Frame setting so that the recording ends earlier.
Swivel uses the main timeline to determine the frame count, so if your animation is embedded inside movie clips, Swivel can have difficulty knowing when the movie begins and ends. In this case, you can either use Manual mode to manually start and stop recording, or, if possible, edit the source FLA to extend the frame count of the main timeline.
This is a known issue with certain variants of V-Cams that draw the screen to a bitmap. The V-Cam draws the screen to a bitmap at the smaller stage size instead of the actual output size of the video, resulting in pixelation. If you have access to the source FLA, you can fix this issue by changing the stage size of your animation to match the output size of your video.
Swivel uses the audio data directly from the SWF file, and SWF files usually have their audio already compressed. If the audio sounds bad when you play the SWF in the Flash Player, it will sound bad in the video. If you have access to the source FLA file, you should change the audio compression settings to Raw or high bitrate MP3.
You may have noticed a problem loading a game file from chapter 1 into chapter 2. Thanks to some astute players who were in close contact to me, I discovered that the Newgrounds player is still linking to an OLD version of the game which has not changed or updated the file no matter HOW MANY F*CKING TIMES I reupload the new version of chapter 1.
The converter seems to be bugged, at least for me. Loading my converted save from chapter 1 results in Soriel being the correct level, but with his stats being as if he was still level 1.
Also, and more importantly, there are no available contracts so I can't even walk over the lava at the beginning of chapter 2.
The stats are supposed to be less, the newest version of both chapters (which is for some reason not visible in the Newgrounds player, which still links to the old versions) has every number divided by 4. I did this because Soriel hitting 1k damage in chapter 2 was a little too early for him to start kicking ass that hard. So I scaled back the numbers a bit.
Sorry for not releasing any animations last year, I didn't have the time to finish anything because of my studies.
However, in my spare time, I've been practicing animation, coloring, perspective, anatomy, etc. So I hope all that can translate into better quality animations for the future. :)
Anyway, hope every body is doing great. Btw, NG is looking so great lately, I've noticed new features, also, Swivel!!! I still haven't use it but I heard it's the best SFW to Video converter in the world. Kudos to the amazing Mike.
Nooby question, I know, but I've been fighting with these so called HD converters for the whole night and well, I've seen some crafty people uploading my videos to Youtube in minblowing 1080 HD Quality (all this only using the 800X500 pixels' .SWFfile, I presume.)
