How to import SWF to FinalCut Pro ???

[Jerry Hofmann]

FCP doesn’t support SWF however it does support these formats:

DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, and DVCPRO HD
Native long GOP MPEG-2, HDV
IMX at 50Mbps; compatible with 30-, 40- and 50Mbps media
Uncompressed 8- and 10-bit HD (4:2:2 YUV) via PCI card
Uncompressed 8- and 10-bit SD (4:2:2 YUV) via FireWire or a PCI card
Apple Intermediate Codec
OfflineRT Photo-JPEG codec
HD at 1080i 50/60, 1080p 23.98/24, and 720p 23.98/30/60
Still images: PSD, BMP, JPEG, PICT, PNG, SGI, TARGA, TIFF

SOOOO you need to change this file to one of those formats or export it from Flash as such.

Thanks Jerry, very fast answer !! Thank you again but i read in the Final Cut help something about Macromedia Flash Import by QuickTime but thats OK.. im new in FinalCut and i use more Premiere Pro and there i have a Plugin thats works just fine to import SWF files. At this time im a better editor in Premiere but i see that FinalCut is much better no just the software but the MAC OS is 10 time faster then XP. One more time THANKS !!

Since you have some Macromedia and Adobe tools, just export your SWF as a QT from Premiere. Suggest you use Animation codec unless you have a reason to use a different codec.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
