Adding metadata to .mp4 files or .flv files

I just recently discovered that I cannot tag .mp4 files or.flv files with metadata in bridge? Anyone know of a workaround to add metadata to these files within bridge besides using Quicktime?
Thanks

.....Seriously??.....
Nothing- Oh well I guess I'm the only one with this issue.
Anyways if anyone cares to know- the workaround to this issue is this:
(well it's really not a workaround as much as an upgrade)
When checking out the upgrade trial to my CS4 Suite I found that Premiere Pro CS4 can export to h.264 video as .f4v and these files can be tagged with metadata within bridge just like .jpg's- Nice. Only problem is the preview of these .f4v files do not fit the preview window- very odd- I have to use the filmstrip view to view these videos otherwise they get cut off by the normal preview window
Oh well that's a minor gripe at least I can tag these with metadata
Maybe this helps someone because I know it drove me mad trying to figure this whole thing out recently

Adding Metadata to mp4 files to load as "TV Shows"

I am looking for some help in adding metadata to mp4/m4v files so that they autoload as "TV SHOWS" when imported into iTunes. I have several files so it would be helpful if anyone knows of a way to do batches of files.
Thanks to the Mac world out there for anyone's help.

You can set a whole batch of files to "TV Show," but bring them into iTunes first. This is as easy to selecting the batch and running any kind of plug-in on them.
Videos all go to the Movies category by default, but that's only temporary. Right after you drop them into your library, find them under Recently Added or Movies. Select them all, and press Ctrl-I to Get Info. Change the video kind to "TV Show." Now all of these files will appear in the TV library, but of course you'll have to fill in the series name and season. Those can also be filled in as a batch.

Using subtitle SRT files with FLV files

Pretty much the way the summary states. Needs to embed srt
files with flv files in actionscript. Anyone know how?

Ouw-wee! Photoshop 2 on System 6?
Do you have the files transferred to newer media or are they still on the System 6 Mac?
If they are still on the old Mac your options are limited, only diskettes worked on the old machines and SCSI hasn't been available on Macs in years..
Since Photoshop didn't have layers until PS 3.0, even if you get them open, they are single layers only.
Do you happen to know the file format they were saved as?
Good Luck!

Flash file with flv. files in it

I have a flash file that is 4.6mb and I need to add 10 to 15 flv files. Is that going to mess up the flash file at all?

It will add as much weight to the fla/swf file as the weight of the flv files, which would be a deterent to using it on the web. Whether or not it messes up the file is a matter of design.

How can I save a flash or swf file to flv file?

I've created a flash banner and I need to send it by email as a flv file. Does any one knows how to convert from swf or fla files to flv?
Thanks

Only accept FLVs at 40 KB? Yikes... Well, I'll say this, I never work on ads or banners, etc., so I don't have to deal with such stringent file size parameters. But, when it comes to video, you only have one option to reduce the file size: Compress compress compress.
You have to choose a very low bit rate (aka data rate) for your FLV video file when you compress the MOV file. And, likely, it's going to make it look pretty crumby... You're going to have to set your data rate down tot he absolute lowest setting.
Data rate is measure in kbps (kilobits per second), such as 700 kbps (a current, typical data rate for video that is suitable for broadband Internet speeds).
As an aside, I find it pretty odd that they require a video file, versus a simple, small Flash SWF animation (that's more to do with my banner ad / bandwidth limits un-awareness than anythings, though). It makes your job a little harder and adds seemingly unnecessary steps... They really require that ALL banner animations be video, and not Flash SWF animations? Be sure you know 100% what their specs are, AND also ask to see other banner ad examples so you can see proof that other animations have been given tot hem with the same spec. I just can't belive that a video file is going to be < 40KB...
Get more familiar with using the Adobe Media Encoder. If you're not that confortable using it, just search online for tutorials about it, which will be easy to find.
See the attached image. I did a 60 frame (30 fps, total runtime of 2 seconds only) SWF animation of a box animated from the upper-left to the lower right, stage size of 300x200 (per your spec). Simple, basic, nothing crazy. From Flash, I exported the MOV file, and brought this into Adobe Media Encoder CS5. Setting the format of the new video to FLV, and setting the data rate to 5 (crazy low setting). The file size came down to ~ 110 KB.
Good luck!

How to replace Adobe Flash media player for flv files with GOM player?

By default, Firefox opens Adobe Flash for flv files. Flv files aren't listed in my application page. How can I swap Flash for GOM or another player?

Sam,
Welcome to the forum.
Where do you need to play this "sprite" (the name for such a Flash video)?
If you need to add that to a Video, then there could be a few challenges in PrE.
If you need to add it to a Web site, then Flash Player (free from Adobe) should be able to display that.
Can you please give us just a bit more info, on how you wish to use the sprite?
Good luck,
Hunt

Playing SWF files in FLV Player

Hi,
               I would like to know whether swf files can play in an FLV Player or not. If not possible, is there any option for developing an independent swf player. If so, please tell me the technique that can be used to develop swf player.
Regards,
          Sreelash.

Thank for your reply friend. I understood what u said. Actually the requirement for the client is to stream swf file as streaming flv file. So I think, in the server side we have to use converter. I meant, if the client put the swf files in the server, the server side program calls the converter before streaming to the client side.
The functionality what I meant is following:
1) The client request for an swf file.
2) In the server side, it is placed as swf files.
3) Then, programmatically the server side code invokes the converter and convert the swf file to flv file before          streaming.
4) This is what I meant the use of converter.
I hope you understood what I meant. Can I have your mail id please. Because in forum not everyone reply for the doubts. Also I am the only action script programmer in my company and I have only 5 months experience. My mail id is [email protected]
Thanks and Regards,
              Sreelash.S.

FMS not generating flv files

livemedia developed a multimedia system where users can
record voice and video using their MIC and/or WEBCAM.
We are using that FMS feature where we can listen/watch audio
and video which were supposed to be recorded at server side.
But after we confirm that recording and request the upload of
the file at the server (which means to record the resulting flv
file at the FLV server), seems that the recoridng process get lost,
since we cannot find the flv file at the especified folder. In
other words, we can not reproduce the podcast/videocast, since the
flv file is not there.
Can anybody help us?

Hi Tool55,
Sorry, FLV is no longer a supported format for import. The workaround is to transcode in Media Encoder to a supported format. After Effects and Adobe Media Encoder still support the import of FLV files. FLV file export is still available within Adobe Premiere Pro.
Here's the knowledge base document: Can't import FLV files
Thanks,
Kevin

How do i get flv files in premiere elements

how can i get the premiere elements to use flv. files?

verdanexi
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running?
In the absence of that information, the following is a generalized no can do answer.
Although files with flv file extensions can be exported from Premiere Elements, you cannot import flv files into Premiere Elements.
There used to be a time when earlier versions could use a Moyea plug-in to force Premiere Elements to accept flv files.
how to edit .flv files
Your flv are going to have to be converted into another format before import into Premiere Elements if you want to use Premiere Elements as your video editor.

The link is provided for informational rather than promotional reason. I have not used it, but I have seen reports that it is free and works well for flv to avi.

FLV file don't show on iPhones, iPads, etc.

I'm on a iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 processor running 10.6.8. I build websites using Dreamweaver CS4 and all my media files are FLV files. I've noticed that none of the media shows on a iPhone, iPad, etc. Is there a media file format that I can use that works for browsers and will show on iPhones, iPod, etc.? I also noticed that SWF file don't show either. Any direction would be helpful.

Those are Flash content types. Flash doesn't exist on iOS, and won't exist on any future mobile platforms, according to Adobe.

Quicktime Pro 7 won't play .flv files

For some reason, after I export .MOV files as .FLV file for use on a website, Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 will not play the file once it's been exported.
I get an error saying "This is not a movie file". Quicktime used to play these files just fine on my other computer, and I cannot figure out why. Any suggestions?

Quicktime used to play these files just fine on my other computer, and I cannot figure out why.
QT no longer supports Flash/FLV natively. Do you have the same QT components installed on both computers? (E.g., is the Perian component package installed on both?)

Using Captivate to import .mp4 or .flv files

I am looking for someone with Captivate experience to let me
know if Captivate can turn my mp4 and flv files into scorm
compliant objects. Seems like I could import it and export it and
be ready to go. Is this the case?

Hi again
Indeed Captivate is often used to capture screen activity.
But within Captivate 3 one may click Insert > Flash Video... and
point at a .FLV file to link to and present.
The FLV will normally require metadata. You might find the
link below to be of value.

Adding metadata to my initial backup files

I have a hard drive on my PC exclusively for image backup and I 'copy' all my pictures there automatically, when I first download them from the camera, using Adobe Bridge. In theory at least, this set should never be needed. All my subsequent processing takes place on the prime set in the 'C' drive, using Photoshop CS4. Short of completely overwriting and replacing all my backups, is there any easy way of just appending my keywords and rankings to all the untouched files on my second drive?
Note.. All images retain their original ID numbers exactly as shot and I do not use Lightroom.
Best regards,

Hi RWSP and thanks,
So...
If I understand you correctly, with 'raw files' I can now select and copy (Ctrl+Drag&Drop) just, all the small hidden sidecar.xmp files, from my C drive over to my camera-raw backups on the second drive. This will non-destructively update everything, the keywords, ratings and the ARC processing data, without touching the raw files them selves in any way?
But for .jpg's I will have to copy-and-replace things with the processed picture files in order to add the key words etc.? In effect overwriting my camera copies with the Photoshop-processed.jpg versions. ...
Right. You can copy the xmp sidecar files to your backup. This will back up the keywords, ratings, acr edit data and (assuming no file name changes) will associate the metadata with the original unchanged raw file.* SFAIK there is no way to have metadata for jpeg files written to sidecar files; so you're right: you would need to backup your updated jpegs to preserve the metadata you applied. But if you're shooting raw, would you have many jpegs files from camera?
* Note: The above applies for camera-native raw format files; may or may not be true for DNG native format camera raw files. Since DNG is designed to be updated with added metadata, it may be that ratings and acr metadata would be written to the original dng files.

How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
Thank you!

If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla. No conversions required .
