You need the Quicktimes FLV Component installed, the Flash shows as an option when exporting with QT Conveersion or compressor.
I don't know if that component can be bought as stand alone.

Perhaps others more knowledgeable will point out some problems but I've found that h.264 is supported by flash so I just rename them with a .flv extension. No complaints yet.

Hi Johnny so you create your timeline footage at for arguments sake dvcpro50 and export the movie using h.264 then deliver your file as .flv and works on a website with as good quality as FLV?

If you have Adobe CS3 or CS4 with Adobe Flash, File/Export/Quicktime Conversion gives you a Flash option.
Didn't know about the H264 being renamed as .flv. Very interesting; maybe I'm too conservative but that hits me as potentially causing a problem down the line.

Bob -
Was this new in FCP 7? I am currently using FCP 6.0.6 (waiting until I get through some major projects before upgrading to v.7). I have CS4 installed on my system. Flash does not show up as an export option in either Final Cut Pro or Quicktime Player.
I currently export a QT movie from FCP (either stand-alone or reference), and then use Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to encode to Flash. But it'd be nice to export right from my timeline using FCP, so maybe that's a feature to look forward to in version 7?
Strangely, I think when we had CS3, Flash was an export option from Quicktime.

so is what your saying that you can/should, export as a quicktime movie, with H2.64 compression, then just rename the file extension to .flv?!? that seems error prone, does that really work, or am I misunderstanding the process?
