No, you have an H.264 MPEG4 file that should play OK in newer versions of the Flash Player.

Ok, you got me there :-)

But you can use it just as if it were a flash file.....I've built a flash player on several
different websites and they play back this type of file just great.

Didn't come from Premiere but from Sony Vegas. Didn't take long to get up to speed in FCP coming from Vegas so I guess from Premiere won't be a problem as they are more similar. I never looked back and love FCS. By the way, you mentioned Motion. Motion is good but it is no AE if that's what you are expecting.

Aperture too was recently updated to 64-bit so I suspect Final Cut Studio is next. And I suspect it will be announced as a free update at NAB 2010.
