Can't export .flv from FCP!

Hello, I am new to these forums and to flash so any help is appreciated.
Here's my problem. I am trying to export a .flv from FCP. I know that I can't do it directly so I was able to get my hands on a copy of Flash CS4 from my boss. I installed it onto my computer but none of the export options have been updated to included the .flv option. I am pretty sure that I have to install a plugin or something but I am not sure what or where that info is?
Also, what will yield a better looking video? Exporting from FCP to Compressor? or Exporting a QT reference video and using Adobe Media Encoder?
Thanks for the help.

Perhaps we're just arguing about semantics, but the fact is that it will play successfully in the flash viewer and I have been delivering h264 files to webdesigners for the last 6 months which are simply renamed with the flv extension. And if this is what the OP needs to do, it will work for him. Do some searching here and you'll see this is common practice. If you look at what formats the last few iterations of the flash player will accept, you'll see h264 is fine.

  • Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?

    (1) Can the exported video from FCP X play in WMV?
    (2) If not, can I convert with the help of Compressor 4 to make it to play in WMV?

    No to both. You need third party software to create WMV. Telestream has tools for this.

  • Can't export audio from FCP to Soundtrack Pro

    I'm running FCP 5.0.2 and have Soundtrack Pro 1.0. I'm trying to export audio tracks from a long FCP project I'm working on to ST Pro to clean them up. As shown in Apple's online demo videos, I want to export an audio track and then remove 'pops' and do noise reduction, etc. In FCP I right click the audio track I want and go down to 'Send To' but the option for "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" is grayed out and I can't click it.
    If I unlink the tracks and then right click the audio track and 'Send To', the "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" isn't grayed out and looks like it would work. But that is only highlighting one audio track, not the other stereo track and not the video track. In the demo video all three were highlighted but when I relink all tracks and try to 'Send To' I get the grayed out "Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project" again.
    Is there something I need to do or a step I'm missing.

    You might be onto something Randy. I noticed in the Timeline if I tried to send an imported .AIF music clip to 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project' it would allow it and the option wasn't grayed out. So I looked in my Browser window and checked out the file attributes to every clip which are listed to the right of the names. Sure enough, under the AUDIO column the .AIF music files are listed as '1 Stereo' and the rest of my captured video clips are listed in the AUDIO column as '2 Mono'.
    So was there a setting for me to choose during Log and Capture that would have made them '1 Stereo' as opposed to '2 Mono'? Or is this a preference setting somewhere to change that for next time? They were recorded on my camera in stereo I'm pretty sure.
    Now in terms of the massive project I've already captured and edited, should I be able to export these mono tracks individualy and fix them as needed? When I click the 'Send to' 'Soundtrack Pro Audio Project File' for these single mono tracks it asks me to 'Save' the file somewhere, is there a proper place to do this or just anywhere on the HD?
    Thanks

  • Can't export EDL from FCP sequence

    I've been trying for days, weeks now, to export an EDL from my Final Cut Pro 6 sequence.  I keep getting the same error message:
    The media files of one or more clips are missing reel names and may also be missing timecode tracks.  Proceeding with the export will result in an EDL that cannot capture or reconnect all the media used.
    I went through all my clips and added reel names, went to Modify-->Timecode to give reel names and timecode to slugs and music tracks, and nothing seems to be working.  If I take just a piece, it works fine, but the whole thing just won't work, even though I've gone through it twice.  There is one clip that somehow (I don't know how) became variable speed.  There's actually a lot of speedramped clips and some SmoothCam slips that need to be reanalyzed. Could any of this be the problem?  It's driving me crazy. Help!

    What are you using the EDL for?
    What is the physical media the EDL is going to point to (tape, DAT, film, etc)?
    An EDL is normally used to allow a computer to acquire the media necessary to build your sequence from physical media sources - and as such you would not want to be arbitrarily changing reel numbers and TC tracks, etc.
    If your media is digital - camera files, audio files, etc, then you don't want to use an EDL to move the project from one computer to another, as the EDL would then not contain any useful information, other that edit durations.
    If this is the case, you want to move your project by taking all your digital media to the new computer (on an external dirve{s}), and then open your FCP project and reconnect to those drives.

  • Exporting text from fcp

    I have a lot of separate text boxes in my sequence. Since I can' t do a spell check in fcp, I was wondering if i can export all the text boxes out as a plain text document to do a spell check.
    I tried exporting as a xml document, but navigating through all the tags was quite a problem.
    TIA for any suggestions.

    Usual workflow is following.
    1. Put all Text-generator clips to one track
    2. Export sequence to XML
    3. Launch TitleExchange, point to exported XML and say where to put converted file.
    Exporting to STL you'll get text file like that
    +00:01:27:26 ,00:01:29:26 ,They had this idea that+
    +00:01:29:30 ,00:01:30:31 ,behind scary+
    ... which you can open in any spell-checker.
    We use TitleExchange to bring subtitles from FCP to DVD Studio and back (in case we need subtitled DVD and Betacam output)
    Though, this may be much expensive way of checking spelling (135 Euro per TE licence).
    There are lots of subtitle software, I only wanted to mention a way of exporting text from FCP with help of subtitle processors.

  • NTSC to PAL - Export straight from FCP or use an mpeg file?

    I was reading this
    http://www.macworld.com/article/49306/2006/02/marchcreate.html
    however it does not mention what to bring into compressor.
    Should I export my ntsc sequence straight from FCP into compressor, or should I drag an ntsc mpeg file I aldeady made into compressor? Ive been trying the latter but can't do much as each step gives me the spinning beach ball for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks much.

    Yes, you should export directly from FCP Using Compressor. Exporting to a heavily compressed MPEG-file, and then converting that from NTSC to PAL makes no sense. You would want your video to go through as few conversions/generations as possible.

  • How can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer or hard drive. My old computer died and I want to get my photos onto my new computer. Thanks in advance.

    HOw can I export photos from my iPad or iPod to my main computer? My old computer died with my photos on it but I want to move my photo library from my iPad or iPod to the computer I just bought. Thanks for any help you can give.

    Sorry but your iPhoto library is not on an iPad or iPod - you may have photos there (most likely low resolution copies) but not an iPhoto library - dying computers (along with software and human errors) are why you always must have a backup - now is the time to load it

  • How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

    How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
    Thanks.

    If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • Since update to 10.6.8 can't export images from powerpoint and also other programs

    Ever since I updated my software to 10.6.8 I can't export images from Powerpoint or from a graphing software GraphPad Prism.  It's really frustrating.  I had no problems at all until this update. Is there any way to revert my version to the old OS 10.6?

    I just contacted Final Draft and they helped me with it. If you have FD and are going to upgrade an OS, Deactivate Final Draft first then re-activate it once the new OS is installed.
