FCP to Flash - workflow suggestions?

Hello all,

I'm trying to output from FCP 6 to Flash (CS3) as FLV and I'm getting poor results with a number of different codecs, export settings.


ANY suggestions for workflow from FCP to Flash with quality end result would be a huge help!

Here's the situation: I either have problems with the text looking fuzzy or irregular thicknesses, or the video plays unsmoothly (often both problems together).

*I've tried QuickTime Conversions as FLV, but when I use this method, the crop tool doesn't work to remove widescreen matting and the text in video looks quite bad, so this method seems to be out.

*Uncompressed 8 bit, then encode with Flash Video Encoder (titles in center of image looked stretched (vertically), then faded back to correct aspect higher or lower on image). It almost looked like if you had text typed on a sheet of transparency and created a slight ridge running horizontally through the middle, so it casts a slight out of focus shadow below, but the tops and bottoms of the paragraph look normal.

*H.264 in a number of permutations,then encode with Flash Video Encoder with similar results in text as to direct FLV output.

*Animation, then encode with Flash Video Encoder: motion is a little better, but text is still hard to read.

Thanks for your time!
