Convert FLA to WV

Understanding FLA and WV file formats

FLA is the proprietary project file format used by Adobe Animate (formerly Flash Professional). It contains multimedia elements, vector graphics, animation timelines, and ActionScript code, allowing for the creation and editing of interactive animations and applications. FLA files are not directly playable or distributable; they must be exported to formats like SWF or video.

WV stands for WavPack, an open-source audio compression format that supports both lossless and hybrid compression. WV files are used for high-quality audio storage and playback, offering efficient compression without sacrificing audio fidelity.

How to convert FLA to WV

Direct conversion from FLA to WV is not possible because FLA is a project file, not an audio file. To achieve this conversion, you must first export the audio content from the FLA file and then convert it to the WV format. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Export audio from FLA:
   • Open your FLA file in Adobe Animate.
   • Locate the audio assets in your timeline or library.
   • Right-click the audio file and select Export or use File → Export → Export Audio to save the audio as a WAV or MP3 file.
2. Convert exported audio to WV:
   • Download and install WavPack (official tool) or use a converter like fre:ac or Foobar2000 with the WavPack plugin.
   • Open the exported WAV file in your chosen converter.
   • Select WavPack (.wv) as the output format and start the conversion.
