Can any current Mac software export FLV directly?

Effectively no — Final Cut Pro, Compressor, and QuickTime all dropped FLV export years ago as Adobe wound Flash down. A standalone converter is now the practical route from QuickTime footage into the Flash container.

How much of my MOV's quality makes it into the FLV?

That depends on the target pipeline's era: with H.264 inside the FLV, quality can stay close to the source at a similar bitrate. Systems that require VP6 impose a mid-2000s codec on your footage, and detail loss becomes clearly visible.

Is there ever a reason to pick FLV over MP4 for streaming now?

No — RTMP encoders and even most legacy ingest points accept H.264 in MP4 or direct RTMP publishing. FLV is only worth producing when a fixed old system literally requires the .flv wrapper and cannot be updated.

MOV to FLV conversion exists for one situation: QuickTime footage that must enter a Flash-era streaming server or e-learning package. Since Flash Player was switched off in 2020, no modern audience needs FLV — only the dated infrastructure some organizations still run.

Why convert MOV to FLV?

Feed Mac-recorded lessons into an old Flash Media Server or Red5 RTMP setup that predates MP4 ingest.
Replace clips inside legacy Flash courseware without rebuilding the whole SCORM package.
Fulfill delivery specs from clients whose intranet video portal was never migrated off Flash.

Tip: Choose H.264-in-FLV over the older VP6 when the target system allows it — quality per megabyte is far better, and the stream can later be rewrapped to MP4 without re-encoding.
