Exporting to FLV file

[Enzo Tedeschi]

Had this issue recently with videos for a Flash CD-ROM.

My solution was to nest the sequence, and scale it up (only by about 4%, that’s usually enough in PAL) to get rid of the black, and then export the movie. Because the FLV format is going to compress the heck out of it anyway, you won’t notice the slight softness introduced by the scaling.

thanks for your reply. I understand that I will need to scale it up. What does it mean to “nest the sequence?” I have many many sequences to scale up.

thanks

You’re welcome.

Nesting is like creating one big clip from all your clips. If you select all the video clips in one sequence, and then go Modify > Nest Items (or somewhere around there in the menus), all your clips on the timeline will be submastered into what appears to be one big clip. Don’t worry, you can still access the individual clips by double-clicking the nested clip.

What this does is it enables you to apply filters or scaling etc to ALL the clips at once, rather than having to scale up every cut in the sequence. To do this, click on the nested clip in the timeline, and hit Enter. This will load it into the viewer where uyou can scale and keyframe like you would any other clip.
