Does anyone know of an effective swf to video converter for Windows? I guess this is aimed at all those people who put up HD videos of their cartoons on Youtube. How do you do that? The direct export from Flash is rather unreliable.

I'm willing to pay for one, obviously. All the free ones seem to be virus-infested sacks of dog chocolate.

Please don't just google Flash to video encoder and post the first one you find. I've tried many programs. I'm looking for an answer from someone who is actively using one of these programs and knows that it works.

I made a fairly bizarre cartoon! Go watch! Using the pencil tool worked out fairly well I think, a sort of first for me.

CARTOON CARTOON

Sorp boys and girls, I've uploaded a new cartoon for the first time in something like years! I'm still working on a large cartoon; this submission is a couple of slippery frame-by-frame animations I did in the meantime when I was bored of the large one.

Exchango Sizo is quite bizarre, as I came up with the concept when I was pretty sick. GO

Exchango Sizo

Hello boys and girls,
my progress on my latest cartoon has become incredibly slow of late, due to two flash bugs which have been annoying the ass out of me.

1. After about a minute of work, the whole program shuts down and gives me the "Adobe Flash CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message. Because of this, I've had to save every ten seconds while working, and as the file is reasonably large, it takes about 5 seconds to save. You can imagine how much this slows me down.

I've tried reducing the levels of undo to 20, but that doesn't help. I've tried working on an empty file; that has the same issue, so the file being to large can't be to blame.

2. As I preview the cartoon in flash player, both separately or within my browser, it gradually loses audio sync. By about 2 minutes in it's too far off to ignore. I've tried increasing the bit rate of the audio, but that doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas? HELP ME ASOFUSHBOEPIBVSJRH

If my two voice actors are reading this, it may be a while before you see the fruit of your labours. I am gradually working through it though. Probably about half way atm. Sorry fellas!

Thanks guys.

P.S. Beneath is a screenshot of one of the characters voiced by Tomamoto.

UPDATE: Now I can't find my Adobe CS3 discs, so reinstallation is a small problem. Shall keep looking lololo

UPDATE #2: I'm going to cautiously say these issues have been resolved. It occured to me that when I was testing blank files to see if they also caused the program shut down, I may have left the original cartoon open in a separate tab like a dumb skank. I tried copying all of the frames to a new file, and it seems to be working well. The sync problem seems to be manageable by increasing the bit rate by a ridiculous degree, but I'll have to find another way later on so as to limit the file size. THANKS LADIES.

TL;DR - FIXED THANKS LADIES.

Howdy ladies,
Just posting to mention that I've graduated from highschool, and so I have some free time on my hands to work on the pilot episode of my upcoming cartoon series, "Prosnorkulus".

The cartoon is guaranteed to cause some form of nutsack injury, as its power level is well over the safety limit for humans.

The gist:

Basically Prosnorkulus is the name of the dwarf type fellow you see in the screenshot below. He is the greatest warrior of all time; the meat from his bicep would certainly feed the entire continent of Africa for ten years, whilst somehow simultaneously pleasuring every woman on Earth. That is if it weren't made of steel. Which it is.

The cartoon will be about his exploits on the battlefield as well as those of several other characters. It will be made up of essentially two scene types:
- ACTION BATTLE FUCK YEAH SCENES
- DIALOGUE FUNNY COMEDY HURRAY SCENES

What you can expect:

Basically the cartoon is inspired mostly by heavy metal music, and as such, bands like 3 Inches of Blood and System of a Down will comprise most of its score. Also it is influenced by video games and action movies, so you will certainly notice some similarities there. Also Johnny Utah. Fuckin' love that guy.

Thanks for reading, you dogs.

P.S. Check out this concept art for Prosnorkulus! (This links to the art section of my userpage on NG, nothing illegal, don't worry. Except for the dog porn.)

HEY LOOK OVER HERE, BUDDY.
If you're a knob who is after the music I used in the SF collab, here it is. (I've gotten a few PMs regarding this.) Christ, I must choose good music, the same thing happened in the MGS collab.

Listen to it here.

It's been a fair while since I've made a news post, since I'm not a bloggish sort of fellow. I'd say it's about time to write some garbage that no-one will read anyway.

Conspiracy: So it seems that Newgrounds is joining with my real life to form some sort of Hellish puddle of stupidity. First off, TheWeebl's "Gooshine" Came out on the same day that Sunshine was playing on TV. Secondly, I had just finished watching Mistabishi's "Printer Jam" when this appeared. Now I'm not one to form conspiracies, but two coincidences?! I'm thinking this is some sort of elaborate scheme which will unfold over the next week or so, eventually driving me to insanity.

New Cartoon: So I've begun work on an enormous project which I will probably never finish. However, if I do, it'll blow all of your puny gay-boy minds. It's essentially been years in the making, built up from ongoing jokes created by my friends and I whilst drunk or overworked. I hope I do finish it.

Weird Shit: Some weird shit happened to me yesterday. I was at my part-time job, serving customers at the cash register. A woman arrived with a small collection of ice-creams that she wished to purchase, amounting to $7.50. She hands me a $50 note, so I begin to work out how much change she needs. At that point, she hands me exactly $7.50 in change, saying "It's $7.50 right?". I take the change, put it in to the till, and look up. She had dissapeared before I could hand back her $50 note. Anyway, now I'm $50 richer.

A small while later, I'm in a local grocery store, buying some potato chips. Another woman wanders over to me and hands me a chocolate bar, fully wrapped, saying, "You might need to wipe this bfore you put it back, darling, I dropped it when I slipped on the floor. It's actually quite dangerous." I just stood there while she walked off, with the chocolate bar in my hand. I would understand this if I worked there, or if I was wearing a shirt which said "Staff" on it or something, but this wasn't the case.

Question: Is there actually a Captain Falcon collab in the works? I have a vague memory of Luis or Zekey saying something about it. I'd love to be a part of it, if there is.

Anyway, goodbye.

Huh. Guess it was okay.

NEEDS MORE DICK JOKES GODDAMIT.

I've so far recieved about 20 messages asking for the music I used in my submission to the MGS collaboration. If you get here first, READ THIS, TWAT.

1. "Cure For The Itch" - Linkin Park
2. "Smoke 'Em If Ya Got 'Em" - Parkway Drive

ALSO: I'm sure some of you noticed I animated the loading screen loop. That was actually one of my entries. Utah/Stamper took the animation, mixed it up, took off the sound, edited the colours etc to make it look like the MGS loading screen.
