The notation shown in the video — the standard tremolo notation — is the correct way to indicate a flutter. In can (should) be supplemented with "f.t" (flutter tongue) for clarity.
As long as a note has no tremolo, it will be played normally.
For an extended passage, you can write "flutter" at the beginning and either use a dotted line (as in an 8va indication) or "end flutter" (or similar) to denote the passage.
One of the pieces my Wind Ensemble is playing has this exact thing, simply notated with a tremolo marking and the word "Flutter" written over top.
ps. the piece is Clash
