I know this was just briefly covered in the new Challenge thread, but I'm looking for a little more detail.

(if you don't use Vegas, you can skip down to question 2)

I edit on Sony Vegas 6, which can actually import swf files and play them in the video timeline including embedded, animated MovieClips. It is quite awesome. :D

BUT, if I apply a gradient filter (new to Flash 8) to the MovieClip, the MC disappears when the swf is imported into Vegas. Bummer...

So, questions:

1) Anyone out there use Vegas with Flash, and, if so, have you found a solution to this?

2) What are the best and/or cheapest utilities to output high quality video (including MovieClips) from Flash? Does everyone just use swf2video or are there other options?

Thanks a bunch!!!
