Quicktime Flash Mov to FCP

I've been given a quicktime movie (.mov) that has been converted to flash. When I import it into FCP, the video and audio are not separate. How do I do that so i can adjust the audio separately?
I have quicktime Pro.
thanks.

http://perian.org is free software that can convert .flv (Flash Video) via QuickTime Pro.
If your files are .swf and inside a .mov "container" QuickTime Pro can't extract the audio at export.

Quicktime Conversion doesn't but compressor doesvscrew my flash movies

I've been trying to explore the cause of a problem I am having using compressor 3.5 to export Flash Movies. Before the Snow Leopard upgrade I had no problems. But after the snow leopard upgrade when i export to .flv's using either my custom setting or the default high, med, low quality settings, the outputs have screen flickers the whole way thru unless the keyframe interval is set to 1.
However if I use export>quicktime conversion straight out of FCP the files are ok. Can any one divine the reason my compressor workflow is producing these corrupted .flv's, and do you have an idea on how I might fix it?
Obviously I have a slower workaround but my current tasks require the batch power of compressor.

Obtaining the full file path specification from Flash Movie and QuickTime icons?

How do you obtain the full file path specification from Flash
Movie and QuickTime icons? I want the path and the file name that
is contained in these icons. I am using a "dive" to run through the
icons of a file, and when I come upon these two types of icons, I
want to obtain the above information that is contained in them. I
certainly can look in the property dialog box to get this info, but
there are many icons in these files, and I want to generate a list
of info based upon the various types of icons that I am processing.
Thanks

Export Quicktime movie in FCP comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File

Does anyone know why when I Export Quicktime movie in FCP it comes out as a Final Cut Pro Movie File? I can still play it in Quicktime and it's possible to set the Quicktime Player as the default software, but it still says in my finder window that it is a Final Cut Pro Movie File.
Does anyone know if there are any settings for the clip to come out as a Quicktime Movie instead? Thank you!

+"The studio apps "brand" their exports. Actually kind of useful...+
In the words of the venerable Forest Gump, "Useful is as useful does" ... or something like that.
I actually use similar "icon" techniques in other areas of my workflow. But most of the time I just modify the file title for quick ID - I also use dashes & underscores to get things to stand out and stay at the top of lists etc.
But QT is my Go-To App for quick media reference and I have it set up to play almost all types off media when double clicked. I started doing it years ago when iTunes opened up every time I wanted to check a few seconds of an mp3 file.
I guess the best solution would have been for Apple to leave the "export FinalCut movie" option intact and simply add in an "export Quicktime movie" option as well. Or maybe add another drop down option for the tagging (branding).
At least we would have been able to make the workflow choices in-the-box rather than doing it with the OS.
Andy Neil,
I think using the OS is the better option rather than re-compressing your movie just so you can double click into QT.

Exporting from flash movies without quicktime

I used to convert flash movies in dv (for further editing in imovie or Final cut express). With the latest QT update this is not possible anymore (and a lot of my projects are unreadable...). Anyone knows an (possibly inexpensive) way to convert a .swf file in dv or something else digestible from QT or visualhub? (visualhub relyes on QT support for converting flash movies, so this is not doable...)
Thanks in advance.

Buy a cheap external HD and install an older version of Tiger (and QuickTime) on it. Use http://perian.org and QuickTime Pro to make the conversion.
QuickTime 7.3.1 no longer supports Flash media formats.

Must a QuickTime or Flash Movie act as a MIAW?

I'm hoping to import a quicktime or flash movie with an alpha channel, in hopes that the stage image will not be obscured. This is assuming that a movie can play in on the stage without being framed as a MIAW. Is this possible?
Thanks,
-david

You're not going to get an alpha channel in a QuickTime movie, and if you turn off DTS and try to apply an ink, you'll again be dissatisfied. I'm less sure about Flash movies, but suspect it will depend on how they're imported/played. You certainly have a better chance with Flash.
I am unsure where your MIAW reference has any relevance, but assuming this is what you're asking: yes - a video can play on the stage, it doesn't have to be played in a MIAW.

Exported Movie from FCP 7 to Quicktime. Audio is only bad on ONE COMPUTER with ONE HEADPHONES, why?

Exported the movie from FCP 7 into a Quicktime video, one problem.
Have three computers...the audio sounds great on all of them when using headphones #1 (http://www.amazon.com/iHome-LifeTalks-Basic-Headset-Black/dp/B001QXDMVE/ref=sr_1 _8?ie=UTF8&qid=1407521145&sr=8-8&keywords=ihome+headset). Audio also sounds great coming out of two stereo systems.
But with headphones #2, a cheap pair of "Skull candy" headphones, the audio sounds great on computers 1 and 2, but when I listen to my video on computer 3, there is heavy static and backround noise, like a radio station that is out of tune. Everything else I listen to on computer 3 with headphones 2 sounds totally normal.
How is such a thing possible?
What steps can I take to "fix the audio"? I already "normalized the audio" (All audio was: .WAV files, recorded with a zoom H2 recorder). Could this be a hardware issue of some kind? This computer is an AspireX1430 bought 2 years ago, with whatever sound card it came with. I'd hate to put my video online only to find out later that for certain viewers the audio won't plan on their system.
Thoughts? Thank you!

Thanks!
Yeah it is crazy to me that everything with this headphones and computer sounds normal, except for my one video! Other youtube videos even sound good!
Sent the video to our marketing department it will be mass emailed to 5000 customers shortly
I feel confident enough...the video sounds great on 4/5 computers at least and probably a lot more!!!!

Convert Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie?

I have Flash CS3 that came with Adobe Creative Suite. I Never
used it but can it convert a Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie
so I can play it on the web? If so where do I start? I also want
the viewer to be able to stop and start the Flash movie. I guess I
need a skin or something?
Also I'm confused about the difference between a FLV and SWF
file. Which one do I need for the web?
Thanks,

not really - you can export the MOV to an FLV and run that
through the flash player at runtime. You
can also import the MOV into flash doc. depends.

Flash is not a video editor - i would get yourself quicktime
Pro ($30 US) and open your MOV and
export as an Image Sequence - then from flash import the
first image into it - flash will detect the
numerically named files and prompt you to import them all -
they will end up as individual images in
keyframes on the timeline.
But sounds to me like you are trying to use flash to edit
video - not recommended as flash was never
intended to be used this way.

Problem Importing Flash Movie

I exported a animation I made in flash CS3 to quicktime but for some reason when I import it to Motion, it only imports about half the clip and then it just cuts off. I also cannot change the duration of the clip in motion.

OK, open it up in QT Player and do the get info and see what FPS it says the movie is at. I'm guessing it will say less than 30 FPS, but let us know.
I had this bug where QT movies created in Compressor 3 brought back into Motion would do this same thing and the QT Player told me that those movies had FPS of 19 or 12, etc, and not the 29.97 they should have had.
If you are able to export it out as Animation codec 100% quality from Flash, you should be able to now take it directly into FCP and then export it as a QT movie from FCP. Don't send it to Motion from FCP, export it out of FCP as a QT movie with Animation codec 100%. After that, check to see what the FPS is. Hopefully, FCP will export it out properly and you should be able to then import it into Motion.
What I'm trying to do is get another application to take that QT movie and export it out to see if it can fix the movie.

Import Flash Movies

About 18 months ago I started webcasting on services like Ustream.tv. I recorded an online flash movie and downloaded them to edit.
in 2009 I did about 200 hours like that and never really learned a good way to get flash converted to go into FCP. Best was Quicktime 7 with Perian, to H264. Each was a struggle and would have mild to severe audio sync problems, even working in 15 fps, which was the flash movie frame rate.
Then I got the 8 core machine and had enough processor to make a desktop Quicktime 7 recording, which still wasn't all that compatible with FCP. Then I would use the on-line flash movie only as a failsafe backup.
This morning (a really good session) and my Quicktime7 failed. I am back in the flash movie soup.
Can anyone give some guidance on compressing an flv for FCP?
Wow, would this be great to solve. Someone in this world must edit flash movies?
Thanks
Richard Miller

I have also taken Youtubes (downloaded with ImToo) and I have used Quicktime-7 with Perian to convert them.
Can it be that flash files can have different parameters, that aren't always friendly to conversion. The .flv that I point to above Plays well (in sync) on Blip.tv, but when downloaded both QT-7 and Mpeg=Streamclip make a hash out of it. I uploaded it also on my website, if anyone has some time to help me figure this one out.

This should download easily and fast.
It is 14.93 frames per second.

Creating FLASH movies without Macromedia??

What would be the easiest way to create FLASH movie files? Every time I try to do it with Macromedia I end up juggling three apps (after spending an hour or two in the manual) and having to interface with the net before I can see my results.
Is there some app out there that will let me output directly from Final Cut, or that will allow me to just export to a Flash from a Quicktime master?
All ears,
Ben

Aie yie yie,
Thank you guys. I remember I did make an flv file using FCP and Quicktime Conversion - And again with the Flash 8 Video encoder. I think my first dilemma (not being able to just see it immediately) has been solved by using Perian (I'm about to try it out). The second problem is the whole embed thing with the web. I've read through the Macromedia instructions a number of times ... always get lost in their assumptions that I know what their lexicon means. I've put hundreds of Quicktimes up, Windows Media Player, all kinds of formats, no difficulty ... I only put up one Flash file six months ago, with the help of a web designer, and was foolish enough to think I would remember the moves months later. Not.
Thank you for your help,
Ben

How Can I Get A Flash Movie to Access Local Files

I have a customer that has created a Flash movie to run off a CD. The movie is basically a set of menus with links to access local files in the same directory as the movie. i.e. Main folder (to be root of CD) has the movie, a Documents folder with PDFs, a Movie folder with wmv and mov files, etc.
The problem arrises when you click on a link to a file, a web browser is launched, and the browser tries to display the target file. The movie was designed on a Windows system, and, mostly it works in a Windows environment, however, the links totally crap out on a Mac because the URLs are pc centric.
He is a rookie flash programmer so I am trying to help him set up proper links to the files, so that the files will (hopefully) launch the proper local app and not a web browers. i.e. if the link points to a PDF, the Adobe Reader is launched; if the link is to a mov file, then QuickTime is launched....
Is there a way to do this? All the tutorials I have found all seem to expect the flash movie to be running on a web server, and as such do not work when running the movie off a CD.
Any help or suggestions would be grealy appreciated.
A response ASAP would also be greatly appreciated as the customer needs to deliver 200 CDs of the project for a presentation tomorrow morning - I have to create the CDs...
TIA

Hi there,
Maybe you would want to use swfObject, i've been using it for

Playing Flash Movie .swf files in iWeb

This is my second post. The first was about generally not being able to publish my website in iWeb in Argentina. Discovered it was due to the 12 kilobytes a second upload speed!
This query is about trying to get a flash movie with .swf extension to play on my homepage in iWeb
www.edgold.co.uk
Ive made a flash movie on my girlfriends PC. Why? Because she has Flash installed.
Ive transferred it to my Mac and it plays with a programme I downloaded called SWF & FLV Player - no problem there. For the love of trying I cant get it to play.
Ive gone to 'Insert' in iWeb, clicked on Choose and selected the swf file. Ive put it in position on my homepage and published it. Then Ive opened the HTML page thats found in iDisk using TextEdit so that I can change the html to get the flash plug in to play it.
I found all the details on website by 'Vertical Moon'
http://www.verticalmoon.com/tutorials/general/iweb/iweb.htm
Ive followed every step to the letter but where they seem to slip up is that the swf file isnt played by QuickTime. QuickTime on my Mac doesnt want to know! If it was played by QT then I'd have a chance to change the html from 'writeMovie1()' to writeflash1() but there is no sign of that code in the html file let alone having to change it in JavaScript.
At the end of the day Ive got an swf file (Flash) that I want to stiuck on the front page of my website to play over and over. Ive spent over 18 hours on this non-stop and its time I called it a day.
Please can someone tell me how to get iWeb to make friends with it!
Ive looked at lost of other sites about free Video code generating but none of them work!
Cheers
Ed
(Im in Patagonia - documentary photographer...sorting a good site helps me secure sponsorship and future exhibition venues. Your help is appreciated!

Thanks for replying and the great info on getting a QuickTime to play automatically.
Please can you continue to help as Im having no luck.
I will write below briefly whats happening.
I made a QuickTime in iPhoto as was suggested. I dropped it into iWebs 'Media' button under the 'Movies' tab, in a folder. I then dropped the QT file onto my web home page. It shows with a control bar at the bottom of its window for playing it.
I published it OK. The live website shows the QuickTime movie BUT you have to click play to start it. So I then I opened the html file in iDisk in TextEdit.
I tried and tried to find the html code for the QT Movie. I read and re-read the whole html file from top to bottom and found no sign of the QT Movie. Then I went to 'Edit' and 'Find' in TextEdit and typed Movie. It came up with a bit of code which says writeMovie1();
I guess that this means it is talking about THE movie in question but there is no more code to
do with 'true' or 'false'. If it said false Id change to true but writeMovie1(); just looks like this:
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
stuck almost at the bottom of the html file page.
Please help...remember Im using iWeb 06
Thanks...I hope Im close to solving this now. All I want is to play the QT automatically.

QuickTime/Flash problem with Firefox - Redux

I know people are having problems getting Flash content to play on the latest version of Firefox (7) for Macs. I know it has something to do with QuickTime interceding on behalf of Flash Player and screwing with Firefox's mind. Following instructions on this forum, I downloaded the latest version of Flash Player 9, loaded it, and everything worked fine -- as long as I didn't quit Firefox. Opening Firefox again, the problem's back. Returning to your forum, you suggest I go into QuickTime's preference menu and turn off Flash in the Advanced section. Trouble was, it wasn't on. So, now what do I do?
Also, I really don't want to turn off Flash in QuickTime. I will be making Flash movies again soon, and QuickTime is integral to that. I also like Firefox. I really don't want to stop using it. Has anyone told Mozilla they really screwed up and need to fix this problem?

You mean Firefox version 2.0.0.6. That's the latest version.
In the preferences for Quicktime-->Enable Flash-->leave unchecked. That's to play .swf (flash) that is wrapped in a Quicktime container. And Quicktime only supports .swf (flash) version 5 and below... Really not a selling point... What are they up to version 8/9 now? To me not worth making any more. Unless your using flash to make sprites to use in Qt. And at that point you knew to know actionscript for version 5 of flash.
If you come across a .swf/quicktime a popup window will ask you if you want to activate it. When you close out the browser window it will revert to being off again.
Go to the MIME Settings that is just below that Enable Flash box. Scroll down to the bottom... Miscellaneous file Formats. Uncheck Flash media. This one really needs to be off!!!
As far as I know Quicktime really doesn't play a part in Flash anymore. As a container.
