- Set Image Duration — Choose how long each image displays: from 1/60s (single frame at 60fps) to 10 seconds per frame.
- Choose a Quality Preset — Select from Highest, Very High (Recommended), High, Medium, Low, Very Low, or Lowest.

The video codec defaults to Flash Video (FLV) and the audio codec defaults to ADPCM_SWF for SWF output. Both can be changed under Advanced settings.
Why Convert DCR to SWF?
DCR is Kodak's RAW image format from digital cameras like the DCS Pro series. SWF (Small Web Format) is Adobe's Flash animation format. Converting DCR images to SWF creates Flash-based slideshows and animations from Kodak camera photos — useful for legacy web content, Flash-based kiosks, and archival of existing Flash workflows that require SWF input. While Flash is discontinued for web browsers, SWF files are still used in standalone Flash players, legacy kiosk systems, and archival contexts.
DCR vs SWF
| Feature | DCR (Kodak RAW) | SWF (output) |
|---|---|---|
| Type | RAW image | Flash animation |
| Developer | Kodak | Adobe (discontinued) |
| Content | Single photo | Animated slideshow |
| Software required | RAW editor | Flash Player / standalone |
| Web browser support | N/A | ❌ (discontinued 2020) |
| Kiosk / standalone | N/A | ✅ (Flash projector) |
Use Cases
- Legacy kiosk systems — Create SWF slideshows from Kodak DCR photos for Flash-based kiosk displays that still run standalone Flash Player.
- Flash archival — Generate SWF files from DCR images for inclusion in Flash-based archives or legacy content management systems.
- Standalone presentations — SWF files can be played in standalone Flash projectors without a web browser, useful for offline presentations.
- Legacy web content — Some internal or intranet systems still use Flash. Convert DCR photos to SWF for these environments.
What is DCR?
DCR (Digital Camera RAW) is Kodak's RAW image format, used by cameras like the Kodak DCS Pro 14n, DCS Pro SLR/n, and DCS Pro SLR/c. It stores unprocessed sensor data and can be opened with Adobe Photoshop (via Camera Raw), Lightroom, RawTherapee, and GIMP (with UFRaw plugin).
Is Flash still supported?
Adobe Flash Player was discontinued in December 2020 and is blocked in all major web browsers. However, SWF files can still be played using standalone Flash projectors, Ruffle (an open-source Flash emulator), and legacy systems that maintain Flash support.
Can I merge multiple DCR photos into one SWF?
Yes. Select "Merge images" under Merge Strategy. All uploaded DCR files are combined into a single SWF animation in upload order.
Can I set a background color?
Yes. Under Background Color, choose from Black (default), White, and other colors. This fills the space around images that don't match the output resolution.
What video codec does the SWF output use?
Flash Video (FLV) by default, which is the native codec for SWF containers. The audio codec defaults to ADPCM_SWF, which is the standard Flash audio format.
