AVI

From Anipedia

AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. It is a popular compressed video format. Most videos distributed today are in the AVI format. It can adhere to almost any codec, and is supported by dozens of popular video players.

The following animation related software can output an AVI file:

• Adobe AfterEffects
• Adobe Flash (movieclips are static, actionscript ignored. This problem has since been fixed in Flash CS3)
• Adobe Premiere
• FrameToon

[edit] SWF to AVI

There are many alternate methods of converting your SWF to an AVI file. The following are the most popular alternatives to using Flash's built-in AVI output.

• Using SWF to AVI converter software
• Exporting a cartoon as a PNG sequence and audio track and re-compiling in video editing software
• Screen capture Tools that record what is playing on the screen can be used to capture playing SWF files, however if there is lag your video will frameskip as well.

Refer to video conversion for methods to convert to or from AVI.
