Hi. I am an experienced Vegas user brand new to the world of Premier.

Can anyone give me an overview of how I would take a project from Vegas directly into Encore for the purpose of publishing a flv file?

I purchased the program only for Encore, I have heard so much about it.

I have also heard that encore will export the flv file with a player, is that true?

I have also heard much about the DVD authoring abilities of it and am anxious to try it out.

Thanks in advance for any help with the flv issue.

Depends on what format you are editing in. If DV, export a DV AVI file to Encore. For many other formats, an uncompressed AVI would be ideal for best quality, unless you have a good compressor like Cineform available to you. I usually use MPEG2-DVD to get to Encore, but I wouldn't recommend that if you are eventually going to FLV with it.

Thanks for the advice Mike. I have discovered that Premier exports to flv also, wow, that's great. Is there any advantage to Premier over Encore or vice-versa for converting to flv?
