Creating Rain in After Effects, Part 2

In part two of this tutorial, Tom Green exports the rain effect out of After Effects and adds it to the still image in Flash to create an animated Flash video.

This video requires Adobe Flash Player.

good stuff, I guess you ran out of time to make it all in one video. Seems a lot of Pt1, pt2 going on. Thanks for the Free info. I know I dont have the right to ask for anything because it’s free. But I will ask any way, do away with parts,

I find it easier to skip the (render queue) and simply choose File:Export:Flash VideoFLV. Then click the “VIDEO” tab in the dialogue that pops-up and be sure to check the box “Encode alpha channel”. The resulting .flv drops straight into flash just like a transparent .png.

Actually, lots of sites are using AE animation for animated rollover buttons and embedding these small .flvs in the timeline is the preferred method. (It’s be a true heresy to stream them…)
