Video for Web in the Flash '.flv' format

I produce alot of content for the web...I usually work in Premiere Pro 2 >>Export to an .avi (DV NTSC) format then open in Flash Video Encoder and output using the ON2P codec >>Upload to web server for streaming

Done

Lately I have been on tour and I have the MacBook Pro 17 with Final Cut Studio and the Flash Video Encoder as my NLE system/workflow...

The problem is that the encoded video has gliches and lines in it! I dunno why

I have tried re encoding at least 4 diff times but each time its the same result...

The difference can be seen by looking at the video encoded using the premiere pro 2 system at http://www.videovaulttv.com

And the video using the Final Cut Studio system at http://www.youngmoneyent.com/av.html

Any ideas on what I can do?

MacBook Pro 17" Dual 2.16, Mac OS X (10.4.6), 2 Gig RAM, LaCie 500Gb d2 Extreme

OK, you're right the onw from FCP looks crappy. Now let's try to figure out why.

What is your workflow to get out of FCP? Are you exporting to a file type other than QT? I am not sure how this works with Flash but when I encode to a flash file I go from FCP, export as a QT, self-contained and then bring that into Sorenson Squeeze and create my flv there.

Is that what you are doing? We need more info to help you in this situation. Be precise and tell us what you are doing..

Capture into FCP 5.1.2
Export - QT movie (Self Contained)
Import - Flash Video Encoder 8
Export - On2P / 500k / Audio 64k / 15 fps / 364 x (constrained setting chooses)

import into dreamweaver, preview,
crappy file is played

ffmpegX, a freeware title, by Major contains 3 encoders. One of them encodes video with flv. So you probably want to try it.

OK, I don't see anything wrong with those settings, they are similiar to what I use. What are your sequence setting in FCP? Does the video look good there?

You may want to try a different encoder, I know that Sorenson has a trial, and see if it works.

Please do not bump your own posts. It's obscenely rude and you only had it up for less than two hours. We get to stuff when we get to it.
