You can bring the .swf file into Flash or After Effects and export either an image sequence or Quicktime.

Not true. I know plenty of editors that can't even spell AE.

In your preview window you can set the Ram Preview frame rate to whatever you want - you can also skip frames if needed. Drop your frame rate to 15 fps or so and It'll play slower.

Why don't you use shy layers to hide those layers that are cluttering up your workspace. Then you'll only have to drag your new layers down 20 layers instead of 500. Using Shy Layers

Why do you need a 6K pixel width? 4K is standard res in digital film and computer graphics. Side note - 4GB of ram is not enough for what you are trying to render.

I'm assuming you are talking about the Text Animation Preset? If you toggle down the animator, you should see keyframes under the Range Selector - just flip the keys around.

Is there really a white solid background or is that white background that from the flash 'artboard?' Do you have the flash project with you or did someone give you the .swf?
