Rendering a Movie
Including Web links in a SWF file
If the Include Layer Marker Web Links option is selected in the SWF Settings dialog box,
a frame label is added to each SWF frame that has a layer marker, and a GetURL action is
added to each SWF frame in which a layer marker has a specified URL. For more infor-
mation on creating Web links from markers, see “Creating Web links from markers” on
page 145.
The Macromedia Flash format honors the following standard frame targets:
• _blank causes the document to be loaded into a new browser window.
• _parent causes the document to be loaded into the parent frame of the frame in which
the current movie is playing.
• _self causes the document to be loaded into the current frame. This is the default if no
target is specified.
• _top causes the document to be loaded into the top frame in the current window.
• _level0 causes another SWF movie to be loaded into level 0. The current movie typically
plays at level 0; another movie loaded into level 0 usually replaces the current movie. Note
that the URL must refer to another SWF movie.
• _level1 causes another SWF movie to be loaded into level 1. Note that the URL must refer
to another SWF movie.
Saving a RAM preview as a rendered movie
Use RAM preview to preview frames, including audio, at the frame rate of your compo-
sition or as quickly as your system allows. To simplify the rendering process, save RAM
preview frames as a movie. When saving a RAM preview, keep in mind the following:
• After Effects uses the composition frame size and resolution setting to determine the
final dimension in pixels of a saved RAM preview. It does not consider the zoom level.
• RAM preview does not generate interlaced fields, so a saved RAM preview never
contains fields. If you require interlaced fields, render the movie normally.
To save a RAM preview:
1 Choose Composition > Save RAM Preview.
2 Type a name, specify a location, and click Save.
