So far, the above instructions are all about single mode conversion, and this converter can also convert files in batch mode way which will definitely saves a lot of time and energy for you. Below are the illustrations on how to batch-convert files.

Step 1: Open Moyea SWF to Video Converter Pro and then click "Switch to batch mode" on the top left to switch to batch conversion mode.



Step 2: Click "Add" to input SWF files and double click each file's name to have a preview on the right screen. Click "Check All" to select all the files that to be converted.



Note 1: As batch mode is default with the automatic conversion mode, some of the interactive or AScript controlled flashes with few frames may not be processed perfectly. It is recommended to shift this kind of files to "Single Mode" to convert under "Manual Mode" for a better result.

Note 2: In batch mode conversion, the water mark set will be added to all SWF files automatically.

Step 3: The same as Single Mode, click "Crop" and "Capture" to crop and capture videos.



Step 4. Click "Export" for output settings.

All are the same as the "Single Mode", except that you don't have to select conversion mode as well as capture settings, because batch mode is default with "always forward conversion", performance testing is played and the capture is silent by default, moreover, the program stop capture at the end frame by default too.







Then the program will start to test the screen capturing speed, and encode one by one. Through this process, you can only set the end frame of each file by clicking the "Finish" button in the bottom toolbar.

Confirm the "Conversion completed" and now it's time to enjoy.
