Sorry to hear of your issue, but did see that you were able to roll-back, and get with your Project.
FLV Import support has been a bit of a mixed bag. Going back several versions of PrPro, one could purchase an inexpensive, and very good, FLV Importer plug-in from Moyea, a 3rd party supplier of many things FLV-related. Then, with PrPro CS 4, that plug-in would not function, though with about the second update to CS 4, Adobe did add FLV Import support, with just a few limitations.
Then, Apple declared war on Flash, and recently, Adobe dropped FLV Import with CC. Wonder if they are trying to "make nice" with Apple?
I sort of doubt that Moyea, or anyone else, will write an FLV Import plug-in, as CC will be constantly changing, and I am not sure that such effort will be rewarded with adequate sales.
I am also surprised by Adobe's dropping FLV Import, but that was how I felt, when I found that Encore had been dropped. Finding out the reason for Encore's demise did not diminish my sadness, but that is just how it goes in the changing world of video. Now, with streaming content being the big focus nowadays, I wonder if Adobe is sending a somewhat subliminal message about the future of Flash?
Just some thoughts, and at least I have some older versions of PrPro, and that old Moyea plug-in, should I ever need to Import FLV's.
Also, thanks for stating your workflow, regarding FLV's, as that makes perfect sense.
Good luck,
