Uh oh, you've got some problems :) we recently output several small

animations from flash for use in tv commercials and it works rather well -

except, you need to use frame-by-frame animation (no movie clips, no

actionscripting). If you actually own QT Pro (rather than the free version)

you should be able to output with all the bells and whistles, but I'm not

sure if that will import for the video production or not. You might be best

off just to set-up the fla as a frame-by-frame animation specifically for

the video production. Wouldn't you rather do the audio track from the video

editing program anyway? We found we have more control that way (no complaint

about Flash's audio - it's great for the web!) The post-production company

we work with actually downloaded a trial version of flash to see what worked

best as output (without loss of resolution etc.) and we decided either QT or

avi work really well. They actually use a Sony System and Windows which is a

little unusual.


Not sure this was much help, but the whole experience was rather wonderful

so maybe there's a bit of useful information in there for you.
