After Effects and Flash
After Effects is the industry standard for motion graphics and visual effects artists. With After Effects 7.0 you can export video in all leading formats, including the ability to export FLV files from After Effects and Adobe. Flash developers accustomed to writing Action Scripts will be right at home with Expressions in After Effects. Both utilize JavaScript-based languages, and provide an infinite range of options for producing programmatic animations. Expressions in After Effects make it possible to link the behavior of any property in a composition to that of virtually any other property, so it's easy to simulate realistic physical behavior and programmatically define complex interactions between elements in an animation. Just having the ability to save your work, as an FLV or SWF is a huge timesaver. So if you haven’t upgraded to After Effects 7.0 then do so now and get ready to take your productions to the next level and speed up your exports from production to the web.
