Rendering and Exporting
Last updated 11/30/2015
When you export a composition as an XFL file, After Effects attempts to export individual layers and keyframes,
preserving as much information for direct use in Flash Professional as it can. If After Effects can’t export an element of
a composition as unrendered data in an XFL file, the element is either ignored or rendered into a PNG or FLV item,
depending on whether you choose to ignore unsupported features.
About XFL files
XFL files are essentially the XML equivalent of FLA files. An XFL file is a compressed archive folder that contains a
Library folder and an XML document (DOMDocument.xml) that describes the FLA file. The Library folder contains
the assets referred to by the XML file. When you open an XFL file in Flash Professional, it extracts these items from the
XFL file and uses them to build a FLA document. You save the document from Flash Professional as a new FLA file;
you do not change the XFL file with Flash Professional.
If you want to examine or manually edit the contents of an XFL file, you can open the compressed archive file in the
same manner as any other .zip file. Changing the filename extension to .zip is not necessary, but it may make extracting
the files for this manual examination more convenient.
This video from the After Effects CS5: Learn By Video series demonstrates export to XFL.
Exporting a composition to XFL format
1 To export the selected composition as an XFL file, choose File > Export > Adobe Flash Professional (XFL).
2 In the Adobe Flash Professional (XFL) Settings dialog box, choose what After Effects will do with layers with
unsupported features:
Ignore Layers with unsupported features are not included in the XFL output.
Rasterize To Layers with unsupported features are rasterized. This means that the layers are rendered to a bitmap
format (an FLV file or a sequence of PNG images). Vectors are not preserved. This preserves the appearance of the
layer when the XFL file is used in Flash Professional. When rasterizing to a PNG sequence, identical adjacent frames
are rasterized only once, to a single PNG file that is referenced multiple times.
3 (Optional) Click the Format Options button and modify the settings used for creating PNG sequences or FLV files.
If you click Format Options when FLV is chosen in the Format menu, the export settings dialog box opens. Though
you can modify such items as the bit rate, in general you won’t need to change many settings in this dialog box.
Changes that you make in this dialog box persist and are used for subsequent export operations, so be careful about
what you change.
If you make a change to the format options that you would like to undo, click the Reset To Defaults button in the
Adobe Flash Professional (XFL) Settings dialog box.
4 In the Export As Adobe Flash Professional (XFL) dialog box, choose a location for the output files.
As the composition is being processed, a dialog box shows the progress of the export operation.
When After Effects creates an XFL file, it also saves a report ([XFLfile_name] report.html) to the same folder as the XFL
file. The report indicates the following:
• whether layers with unsupported features were rasterized or ignored
• whether each source item was rasterized (“rendered”) or passed through (“linked”)
• whether each layer was rasterized (“rendered”) or converted to a native Flash object
