Exporting Movies
After you import an SWF movie or create a new movie and finish editing it, you can export the movie as an SWF file or as a self-running EXE file.

Saving movies from a browser
When you install Namo FreeMotion, the Namo FlashCatcher button is added to Internet Explorer's toolbar. While you are viewing a page containing Flash, click the button or right-click the Flash movie and select Namo SWF Catcher to get the flash movie file.

Writing scripts and editing the scripts of imported movies

Flash Video
You can insert and edit movies in such formats as AVI, Quick Time(*.mov), MPEG(*.mpeg), Windows Media(*.wmv), Real Media (*.rm;*.rmvb), etc. You can also preview frames of an imported video by dragging the playhead along the Timeline. The Video Import wizard helps you edit video before importing it.

Shape Editing
Namo FreeMotion supports drawing and editing vector shapes. You can resize, reshape, rotate or skew shapes using familiar tools to create illustrations, rich text, buttons, animations, and more.

Motion Tweens
Namo FreeMotion allows you to make Motion Tweens to create movement, scaling, rotation, and skewing. You can set the tween's speed, rotation, etc. You can even tween between two different shapes.

Template Wizards
With the Album, Banner, and Navigation Button wizards, you can create such items with just a few clicks. Likewise, the Slide Show Wizard helps you make a slide show in SWF format easily and conveniently.

Built-in Animated Effects
To help you create professional animations and movies with ease, Namo FreeMotion provides you with a number of animated effects you can apply to your artwork. Instead of creating motions in the Timeline or writing ActionScript, you can implement cool animated effects with just a few clicks.

Customized Text
You can add text anywhere in your movie. In the Text panel, you can customize all the properties of text, such as color, font, font size, hyperlinking, etc. Furthermore, you can set different colors, font styles, or links for whole paragraphs of text.

Font Embedding
You can embed fonts into movies so that users who don't have the fonts used in your movie will still see your text as it's meant to be seen. Font embedding for both dynamic and static text is supported.

Image Exporting Quality Control
You can embed fonts into movies so that users who don't have the fonts used in your movie will still see your text as it's meant to be seen. Font embedding for both dynamic and static text is supported.

Streaming Sound
In addition to event sounds, Namo FreeMotion supports streaming sound, which starts playing as soon as enough data for the first few frames has been downloaded. You can choose between ADPCM and MP3 compression and specify the sample rate and the bit rate.

You can also control audio quality, making it easy to adjust the sample and bit rates.
