FCP into Flash
Hey All!
Working for a small production company normally all of our videos are demonstrated into quicktime which through FCP is a doodle (easy). However a client needs a video now in flash….Please help me…How easy is it to put a video into Flash via Final Cut Pro? Can it be done without owning the flash 10 software?
Thank you very much!
Alex

If you Search this forum for Flash you’ll find lots of answers. We use Telestream Episode Pro here.

The easiest way is to export a ref or self-contained QT. Bring that into Compressor and encode an H.264 version of it. Use the frame size and data rate your client desires. After it’s encoded, change the .mov extension to .flv and you’re finished. There are a number of third-party software programs that do this. Sorenson’s Squeeze is the one we use.

Really? I’m going to have to try that. The problem though is they will still need to wrap it in a swf for the web.

The newest flash players can play some H.264 files with the changed extension.

Whenever you deliver a flv, regardless of how it’s made, it’s always put in a swf for inclusion on a website. If you have to deliver that swf, then you need a third-party app. Squeeze will do that and I’m sure Telestream will, too. The app will encode your video and embed in a Flash player.
