Quick Question
I’ve used FCP for 7-8 years now. I started a new business that has a great deal of video for the web. I want to speed up the work flow. Does Premiere export FLV files right out of it or do I have to send the final project to another app? Also has anyone ever used fcp and Premiere. Is there a big learning curve to it?
Thanks for all and any help

Yes, see Exporting for the web in the PPro Help for details.

The fundamentals of video editing are the same, but PPro’s approach is different from FCP.
You will find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

In Premiere Pro CS4 when you hit export it brings up a dialog box that allows you pick all your rendering settings. Once you hit OK it brings up your project in Adobe Media Encoder. This is a different program, but it works seamlessly. It allows you to keep working while rendering.
I have worked with both editing suites and there is some new things to learn between the two, but overall they have a similar enough feel that migrating from one to the other shouldn’t be a big issue.

I switch back and forth regularly.
The only really frustrating part about the switch is all the keyboard shortcuts being slightly different.
Basic editing is the same in any system – it’s all the tricks and shortcuts and special things that you did FCP that you’ll have to relearn in PPro that will make you wish you hadn’t switched. Get past that before you give up on it. Ppro does some things much better than FCP….things you might not even think of trying since they don’t exist in FCP (and vice versa).
Also, PPrp exports to .flv and .f4v directly.
