converting your .mov to .flv

After you have exported your montage to quicktime we are going to need to convert that .mov file to a .flv file. Here is a step by step and a video.

1. export your montage from iMovie (using the share menu > export to quicktime > broadband - medium > choose the desktop as the save location)
2. Right-click on the movie file (did you export it to the desktop?)
3. Choose the program "Adobe Flash CS3 Encoder" (you may have to choose "other" and browse through your applications to find this (you may even have to change "Recommended Applications" to "All Applications".
4. Drag your movie file into the Adobe Flash CS3 Encoder (or click "ADD")
5. Click "Settings", choose Flash 8 Medium Quality (400-kbps)
6. Click "Start Que" to begin converting
7. Your movie should pop up on your desktop when it is done converting (about 5 minutes)
