converting video to FLV via FCP 7

[Christopher Targia]

so is what your saying that you can/should, export as a quicktime movie, with H2.64 compression, then just rename the file extension to .flv?!? that seems error prone, does that really work, or am I misunderstanding the process?

[Imre Szekely]

The option to export as FLV from FCP comes only if you installed Adobe Flash CS3. Flash CS3 had the option to install the FLV conversion component to Final Cut.
The CS4 package has NO more this feature… not sure why.

I just recently updated my CS4 softwares to the latest update…and now when I export my timeline to quicktime and I use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to create an FLV…..the end result is a greyed out and washed out video. Not sure why as in the preview it shows all good.

…problems…

I have used the renaming trick with lots of success for movies that I have created as H264 with AAC audio.

Now I’ve exported an h264 .mov with 32-bit Floating Point Little Endian audio out of an Avid Express. I renamed the file as usual and the picture looks fine, but I get no audio when I play it back.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be? Are there specific audio formats that flvs like?

Very much so. This link gives a list if you can make heads or tails of it. But there is one choice that beats the others hands down and that’s AAC.
