Convert FLM to WMV

Understanding FLM and WMV file formats

FLM files are project files used by Adobe Flash, specifically for storing animation data, keyframes, and other project-related information. These files are not video files themselves but contain the necessary data to render animations within Flash or compatible software.

WMV (Windows Media Video) is a widely used video compression format developed by Microsoft. WMV files are commonly used for streaming and sharing video content due to their efficient compression and compatibility with Windows-based systems.

Why convert FLM to WMV?

Converting an FLM file to WMV allows you to share your Flash animation as a standard video file, making it accessible on a wide range of devices and platforms without requiring Flash software.

How to convert FLM to WMV

Since FLM files are project files and not direct video files, the conversion process involves two main steps:

1. Export the animation from Flash as a video file (such as AVI or MOV).
2. Convert the exported video file to WMV using a video converter.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open your FLM file in Adobe Animate (formerly Flash Professional).
2. Go to File → Export → Export Video.
3. Choose a video format such as AVI or MOV and export your animation.
4. Use a video converter like HandBrake or Any Video Converter to convert the exported video to WMV format.
5. In the converter, select your exported video as the source, choose WMV as the output format, and start the conversion.
