Activity Forums Adobe After Effects No option to export FLV in Render Que OR Export Menu

  • No option to export FLV in Render Que OR Export Menu

    Posted by Tim Kocher on June 19, 2009 at 6:41 am

    Hi:

    I’ve searched The Cow, Adobe Forums, tons of Google search results, but I can not find a definitive answer on this and I’m hoping someone here can help …

    I could have sworn I had FLV export in AE7 (and maybe AE6.5), but recently I went to export an FLV in CS3 and the option does not appear in the File>Export OR in the Render Que settings.

    Soooo, I guess ultimately my questions is: IS FLV EXPORT NATIVELY SUPPORTED IN AFTER EFFECTS CS3? OR DOES IT REQUIRE YOU HAVE ONE OF ADOBE FLASH AUTHORING TOOLS INSTALLED?

    I’ve read posts that seem to indicate both, but most act as if FLV export is built into CS3 with nothing but the Flash player and Quicktime installed.

    I currently have (just upgraded it too) QT Pro v 7.6.2 (before that 7.5.5), and the latest flash player for both IE and Firefox.

    I would REALLY appreciate it if someone could clear this up for me. THANKS!

    -Tim

    Hi,

    In CS3 (production suite), in AE you go to render queue, then output module and in the list is Adobe Flash video – thats’t what I always do.

    With the production suite you also get the Adobe Media Encoder in the start menu so you could do it there.

    I don’t know about the standalone version.. maybe it all runs off the same Adobe FLash encoder engine and maybe you only get that the with the whole suite.. I don’t know!

    Thanks, John, for your input.

    Actually, I went ahead installed CS3 onto my laptop (something I’ve been putting off for … well, forever) and sure enough it shows up in that installation. So apparently something is wrong with my installation on my desktop, or with a component from the Flash player or QT, or something.
