FLV Export Component

[Antoine Vuduc]

As i don’t use FCP, i give you a tip from simple user:

export in .flv is not the only way to make flv file…
Flash Player CAN play H.264… so you just have to export in H264 format and change ( yes ! ) the extension ( .mov often kept after export by the most like Quicktime 7 Pro )…by .flv

for exemple, in Quicktime 7 Pro, export your video in sequence with option H.264, you will obtain a .mov
Just change mov by flv and it will be oK.

Hope that helps.

I have the same probleme with FCP 7, I can’t make an .flv file. and the older flv component don’t work.

How do you to make a flv file, now ?

can you answer me ?

Thanks !!

Wow! Its so simple, you’re going to slap yourself when you hear it.

Export your program and compress in Compressor as a Quicktime H.264 file. When its done, you’ll have a quicktime movie with a .mov extension. Now, here’s the neat part… Just change the extension to .flv, the OS will ask you if this is OK, click on OK. That’s it. You now have an H.264 flv movie that can be used on a Flash website.

Hi Antoine
That is of great help thank you! i unfortunately do no have CS3, just CS5, which i bought recently.

Could you do me a huge favour and e-mail me the FLV.component file?

my e-mail address is: robin@lezardbleu.co.za

I would greatly appreciate that! Thanks so much!

[Mark Maness]

You don’t need this file. CS5 expects your Flash file to be in the H.264 codec. If you need to compress anything other than H.264, use the Media Encoder with CS5. If you have installed CS5, you already have everything you need.

OMG—I never kn ew that about the H.264.

BUT I have a serious question. The good thing about flash was that it looked good at low bandwidth, but doesn’t h.264 require a bit more to look decent. I am concerned because we need a low bandwidth option.
