u/SwivelRevival

Hi,

I need a bit of advice when it comes to updating a piece of software called Swivel, which allows you to convert SWF files to MP4. While we got the main bulk of the code updated in the next update, we'll get working on FF. Now the current version we're using uses the old zeraone code and for the updated code on Windows, I'm looking at Gyan. But, on Mac, I'm going between Homebrew or Osxexpert. What would be best for a Universal Binary? All I ask is would there be any compatibility or coding issues updating from the old version? What video/audio formats would you go for and would getting Vulkan setup be worth it?

Thank you from the team

WARNING: This is a beta, so expect bugs like TypeError 1009, some audio issues or the software just crashing.

tl;dr

Here's a link to a Video on how to install Swivel Source, along with the updated Code with as much relevant information on how to look over the code if you're interesting in further helping us out.

If you want to get to talk to me, you can do it, here, Discord, Twitter, Newgrounds or my updated email, swivelrevival@mailfence.com. Root and Fluxer are still under construction, will update when ready.

Long Version

Yes, it finally happened, the source code for Swivel has finally been updated. Thanks in no small part to Mike, the Haxe discord and my main programmer Bk20x. This was a long time coming and I do apologies for the wait, but it's finally here. Now, for what's new, it's mainly an internal update, being that it now runs under Haxe 4, Harman Air along with a few other fancy things (Flash Player 32 support). Ff hasn't been updated yet, that'll be for V 0.2, (Along with a Mac port) I just wanted a version out that works, so don't expect it to be a massive improvement from the previous version, in fact, it'll be a downgrade in some ways. This is ok, because with your help, we can finally get real world results and with it being open source, see what is missing or needs to be adjusted. Along with that, we can use Jpexs Decompiler and the Ruffle code to further help us out with missing or bugged features.

Now, for my animators, I ask if you want to try any of the new features Adobe has added throughout the years to see if it would work in this newer version, please let us know. If it doesn't work, could you please send us the issue you're getting with a 10 second Swf file. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a very basic animation, anything helps along this journey. Again, apologies for the long wait, I went into this thing head first with only a basic understanding of had to go into this and this project turned out to be a lot harder than I initially thought. But, it's here and just the beginning.

Thank you from the Swivel Team and a special thank you from Mike, without his help, we'd probably wouldn't be here right now.
