.flv export from Final Cut Express

I alternate between two machines when doing video
editing/compression. Both machines, Mac G5's, have Final Cut
Express HD and Flash 8 Pro installed. One machine offers me the
option to export as .flv and the other does not. How do I "install"
the option to export as .flv on the machine that is not currently
not offering me that option?
Thanks in advance.

well what i am doing is i need the actual flash program and
not photoshop, because i made a functional cartoon version of my
friend. and in the video he is going to be fighting a cartoon of
himself!
its going to look really cool, once i figure out the little
kinks. its weird because i have done a project like this before. in
2005 i did a similar project incorporating cartoon drawings with
video, although it was done in macromedia flash mx. i simply
imported the video and it worked fine! i drew over it in another
layer, exported and i was done.
for some reason, on the new flash CS3, it doesnt seem to be
working properly. im pretty sure my older stuff i was importing
.mov as well, although even when i import a small 6 second .mov
into cs3, its still slow... why do they have this feature? it
doesnt work properly i dont understand..there must be some way..
well, i set the flash project for 29.97 prior to importing. i
then tried importing a simple 5 second video. i did the embedded
swf on timeline so i could see it up there. then after loading, i
saw that it still wasnt right. whats happening is its just running
slow in the flash program, making it look like slow motion. i
looked at the fps, and even though it was set to 29.97, it was
jumping all over, as it was playing. while the video was playing,
it was roughly around 20fps jumping to 22fps and going around
there.
i dont know? any suggestions? thankyou

  • FLV Export From Final Cut Pro

    Hi Folks,
    I've been reading and reading and just want to know what is
    the right way to go about exporting video from a third party
    application like Final Cut Pro. Yes, the easy way is to
    Export>quicktime conversion and go from there. If this is the
    best way then great, But i'm wondering if exporting as a lossless
    quicktime codec such as the Video codec or the Anitmation codec
    would be a better choice then go to the flash video encoder with
    the lossless file. I heard that exporting straight out of FCP could
    be bad as the video needs to be deinterlaced before the flv stage.
    If this is the case, what are the best settings when
    exporting a lossless quicktime file? There are about 6 setting s
    that need to be set and I haven't a clue what would be the right
    settings.
    If exporting from final cut straight to flv, are you folks
    dropping the frame rate to 15 fps(cutting your frames in half). Is
    this working better for you?
    Well thanks for all your help, I keep on testing short clips
    and can't seem to find a any certain configuration that i really
    like.
    hanks so much for all your help.

    Todd ..
    We do quite a bit of video / flv work.
    Our editing software is VEGAS so unfortunately we can't
    render directly to flv .. but avi->flv via Sorenson Squeeze.
    If Final Cut allows rendering directly to flv, my
    recommedation would be to use that functionallity. Caveats .. if
    the encoder can 1. deinterlace i.e. progressive scan. 2. reduce
    your framerate from 29. to 15. 3. gives you the ability to control
    # of key frames.
    The logic being .. use the fewest number of encoding methods
    to get from source to output to maintain best quality.

  • Latest advice on creating .flv advice from Final Cut Express?

    IN our newsroom, we have a recently purchased MacBook Pro running Final Cut Express 4.0.1 for the creation of videos for our website - problem is the the website can only take .flv files and they can be no larger than about 20 MBs. I have looked at most of the posts in this forum on creating .flv files, but I wondered what the llatest, best advice for doing this is? I know that:
    1/ I can export a .mov file and just change the extension to .flv, but that creates a file as large as the original .mov file - too large for the website.
    2/ The powers-that-be did not include Adobe Flash on this computer so I am supposing I cannot use Adobe Flash Encoder as a standalone app.
    3/ DV Kitchen looks like it might work, but it is $79 and has a lot of bells and whistles we don't need. Plus, the beancounters will have to approve the purchase.
    4/ What other cheaper options can create an .flv file from a FCE .mov file that would squeeze it down to about 20 MB?
    Thanks, Douglas

    If you dont have Flash the only worthwhile converter for flv is Sorenson Squeeze:

  • IDVD problem - exporting from  Final Cut Express

    I'm have a problem with my iDVD that I am not sure how to fix. I created a movie in Final Cut Express...exported and burned a DVD in iDVD. I went back to that project in Final Cut and altered it...saving a new project. Then I try to open iDVD I get this pop up message that says it can't find Sequence 1-FIN-0000002f so the moive will not play properly. Seems that it is referencing the project that I burn previously. It gives me the option to search for the file or cancel. If I search I can't find it and if I cancel I get the spinning wheel...the program will not open. I'm new to working with Final Cut so I'm not sure but somehow I deleted a file that was embedded in the the first movie I created. It appears that when I open my video drive I have a Render File folder, in this folder are folders for all the projects I have created. I can locate the last project folder and see all the sequence files (all named like the one that was missing....Sequence1-FIN-0000002f) I just am not sure how I would have erased one of these rendered files. Is there a way for me to recreate a rendered file with this file name so the iDVD will recongize it or bypass this in iDVD so I can just open it and create something new? Any suggestion on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.....

    Keep in mind you are working with QT Reference files. These files reference the movie files within your video editing app. If you opt to burn a DVD and then go back and alter these same ref. files then you confuse iDvd which normally requires that you delete the encoded assets and start again so iDvd can again recognize what you want in terms of a finished iDvd. Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

  • Exporting from Final Cut Express HD (3.5) to Quicktime 7.6

    I have a video compose of stills and some video. Some of the stills have movement and others do not. Also to the 12min video I have added Nattress special effects so the video can look "film like"
    After the video is done I ended up exporting it to QTPro by using QT conversion, otherwise I will loose the 16.9 as I want to save it in HD 16.9 format. Once the video has been uploaded unto QT, the moving pictures are pixelated and they look distorted? I am not sure why? Is there anything I can do so this won't happen? Or maybe QT is the problem? I want moving pictures, but I want them flawless as they move across the screen. There has got to be a way of doing this, any ideas?
    Also on another post I read about a codec (ffmpegX) I tried to download it, but since its old it seems that I need components and when I tried to download them I get screens full of UNIX codes but no download options??
    Is there other codecs I could use so I can export this video and be CLEAR AND CRISP ON A HD format? or what do I need to do different in QT?
    Thanks

    The data rate is huge. For example the rate for an iPod is 0.7 mbps (700 kbps) and yours is thus 46 times higher than that. The exported version is for who? For just watching? The bitrate could be no higher than 1.5mbps (1500k/sec) for H264 and would look great even on TV.
    I find exporting in Quicktime is confusing for people, knowing settings and the like - try MPEG Streamclip - it will open QT files and has presets for exporting the MPEG-4 (H.264) particularly for Apple iDevices and is a lot easier to use and costs $0.00. YOu can set framerates (e.g. 24 not 29.97) and they stick.

  • Best export method of footage from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    I'm exporting footage from Final Cut Express using Quicktime Player and then burning the footage to DVD using iDVD.
    The end result on DVD has very jagged interlacing (or noise) on objects in motion which aren't present when viewing the footage on FC. I don't think the problem is with iDVD (I assume I'm burning a pristine copy of an already reduced-quality clip).
    Are there any changes I can make to the system preferences either on FC or Quicktime Player to reduce or prevent loss of digital information, or can anyone suggest better methods of export from Final Cut Express to DVD?

    Hello
    I'm not sure if this is relevant:
    I've been using the Quicktime Conversion settings;
    http://www.locationstudio.net/Settings.jpg
    29.97 Frame Rate
    Highest Quality
    NTSC/PRO
    I was under the impression that this was usually best - haven't had any problems with iDVD

  • Is it possible to make an MPEG-2 from Final Cut Express ?

    I need to make an MPEG-2 file, exported from Final Cut Express 4. But I don't see an option for it.

    Which type of MPEG-2 file?
    There are three common types, each with their own variants:
    Elementary Stream (.m2v) - contains video only; no audio.  Commonly used by DVD authoring applications prior to multiplexing (muxing) with a separate audio file.
    Transport Stream (.mts or .m2t) - muxed video and audio.  Commonly used for tranferring broadcast quality video over a network.
    Program Stream (.mpg or .mpeg) - muxed audio and video.  Commonly used for automated server based playback.
    At one time QuickTime Pro included an MPEG-2 encoder, but I believe Apple removed that option with the introduction of Compressor.  Other apps for encoding include: Sorenson Squeeze, Cleaner and Episode ... to name a few.

  • Exporting HD Video From Final Cut Express HD

    When attempting to export HD video from Final Cut Express using "uncompressed" setting, I notice that the output quality seems to be limited to "medium." If no compression is used, wouldn't that imply that the video quality should equal original footage?

    All FCE Timelines are using the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) for HD stuff if you selected the correct Easy Setup before you started your Project.
    If you export as a Quicktime Movie then you are getting exactly the same export quality as the Timeline.
    The Quicktime Movie can be either Self-Contained or a Reference file. Reference Files are great because they use/reference you exisating captured files on your Scratch Disc, use less space and export fast.
    However if you need to play the export somewhere other than your Mac your will require the file to be Self-Contained.
    QuickTime Conversion does just that, Converts to whatever you select.

  • Exporting HDV from Final Cut Express

    I'm trying to export a video as an mpeg-2 from Final Cut Express and burn it onto a CD-ROM for use on a PC with Adobe Premier. Could anyone help on the best way to do so?

    There is no MPEG-2 export from FCE unless you have a third party encoder. You might try googling it. There are some expensive ones. Why does it have to be MPEG-2 BTW? Wouldn't QuickTime be better? It's fully support by Premiere on both platforms.

  • Exporting video from Final Cut Express to be put on the internet

    Is there a way to export a flash file from Final Cut Express? I have a short video I am trying to put on my web site and I am finding that every format I try people who are using PC's are having trouble opening it. It all links back to Quicktime. Is there a way to not use Quicktime?

    It doesn't come with FCE. You need a Flash encoder. There are different ones of varying quality. Flash of course comes with one. Episode has Flash as an add-on. Do a google search for Flash encoders. Many encoders, after they're installed, will work directly from within FCE using the QuickTime Conversion function. There'll be a format option for Flash.

  • Why has exporting a film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD (3.5) taking 30 times longer and file size increased by 30X?

    Exporting a 75 minute film from Final Cut Express (FCE) HD(3.5) through Quick Time Movie is now taking over an hour instead of the 2minutes it used to take.  The FCEMovie file is now 14 GB instead of the 1 GB it used to be.  In both cases Self Contained was notchecked when exporting.  I havetried trashing the Preference file to no avail.  There was a message when opening the FCE project that 140render files were offline.  Ichecked the box to forget them and also did a Render All Both and Render Only Mixdownbefore exporting.  I had thisproblem a few days ago and solved it by reinstalling FCE.  However after two days the problem hascome back.  As far as I know I didnot change anything in FCE or the system when the export times and file sizeincreased.

    I think you are correct about the longer version being a self-contained movie except that I did not check that option when exporting.  However, I have opened another project of the same size and that one can be exported in the usual time, the problem must reside with the particular project.  A clue is that to regain some disk space I deleted the render folder for several projects including the one I am having trouble with.  Also when iI opened that project I got a message that files were disconnected and I think they were render files.  I did re-render before exporting and that is when the file length increased by a factor of 13, even though it was not supposed to be self-contained.  FCE is working OK with other projects when I export them.  I am still puzzled.

  • Exporting from a quicktime from Final Cut Express HD

    Can anyone tell me the best settings to export a Quicktime from Final Cut Express HD maintaining the best quality but getting the file size as small as possible?

    It depends on what you want to export to/for. iDVD, streaming web ... what's your target use?

  • Importing file from final cut express to final cut pro

    Hello, I am taking a video I have been working on from final cut express and opening it into final cut pro on another machine. It brings footage over but completely incorrect. I am editing a music video and its basically taking the files and putting them out of sequence etc. When I first open up final cut pro it will say do you want to update this video to the new version which I expected to which I respond yes but its jacked up after that. Any suggestions?

    Generally, I just drag the DV file from the finder to the iDVD menu window. Make sure you don't drag it to any Drop Zones, I think that might be your problem with the DV file showing up as the background. If you have default settings in iDVD, this drag and drop should then create submenus based on your chapter markers.
    I'm not sure if you have any issues with the Chapters not showing up in QT. If you're expecting them to show up, then make sure that when you do the Export to QT that the option to include Chapter Markers is set. Upon conversion, you should see the Chapters within QT as well as when imported into iDVD.
    Hope this helps!
