Check out the little app I made below which consists of an FLV of simulated rain created in After Effects. The FLV was embedded and you can use the different blend modes to achieve different results. This basically allows you to remove the black background of the rain without using embedded alpha channels. This is one of tutorials that will be included in the “Flash Professional 8 Video Integration” title that I just finished recording for Lynda.com. It should be out very soon!

cool
I love it…….
Very cool. Hey, I know this is a little off-topic, but I wanted to ask; which program has a steeper learning curve, Flash or After Effects?
cool
sweetness lee you are so leet at flash
so this is less CPU intensive and size intensive than using alpha right?
Yes absolutely. If you can avoid using embedded channels it’s much better performance.
quite nice effect!
Hi master lee i’m looking for this fantastic tutorial about after effects and flash
excellent piece of work.
if you look carefully in flash the rain effect is a video embeed symbol. This can be used with your own animation.
Too bad it stresses CPU.
Can I ask how you made the rain in AE?
Chris
Hey, could you please tell me what you are using for your flv pugin to play the video with?
i like that a lot!!! Any chance of telling us how you made the rain in After Effects?
