Rendering Flash SWF

I read where Vegas 5 supports Flash - does this mean we can drop an SWF file on the timeline and render to AVI, MPG, QT, etc? Or is there more to it than that? Has anyone tried it? How good were the results?

Thanks!

It will import a .swf but I had problems working with it. It rendered fine but what is 'rendered fine' when it's trippin so bad you can't edit it? It just seemed like it took a lot of CPU resourses when it was dealing with a .swf. I had more luck by just bringing it in, exporting and working with an .avi. But this leads me to feel that I would just export as an .avi from Flash, Swish, or After Effects to begin with. Hopefully you will have more luck than I've been having with .swf's.

Thanks for the feedback, I am primarily interested in rendering the SWF to video through Vegas either as MPG1/2 or WMV, perhaps AVI if I want to use it in another VEG. But you didn't have problems importing the SWF and the rendered file looked good? Thanks again!
