CS4: No option to export as FLV in Render to Video

Does anyone know why one installation of CS4 would show the Export s FLV in the Render to Video QuickTime settings, but a different machine doesn't.
Flash CS4 is installed on both machines.

Thanks to Sandie - I have the same problem on a PC - it works on my own HP labtop and stationary Mac with XP with PhotoShop CS3 - but the client's Acer toy-machine - CS4 - it doesent work.
Then I did what Sandie did - copy the Quicktime plugin in QTComponents - the file FLV.qtx - and copy to the clients machine - and it's work fine.
Thank you Sandie. I never gues, that I was the Quicktime that make the mistake.

No option to export flv in render to video

Hello,
We have two computers one running CS3 extended and one running CS4 extended and both on win XP pro. The CS3 machine has the flv export as an option but the CS4 machine does not. Both have flash and quicktime installed also. In searching the forums I found a post with this same tittle but it was on a mac. The solution was to find a file called flv.component. I searched the drive on the CS3 machine but it did not find a file with that name. Thanks for any suggestions.
Jeffrey

Well, there's no *.component files on PC. Quicktime extensions carry the file extension *.qtx on PC. The file in question should be in the QT install directory C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTComponents or your C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Feature Request: Make a Setting Option for Export - Media - What to Render

As I just changed after many years with Premiere Elements to Pro, I certainly find many things just anconversant.
But there's one thing I really can't take: When I'm trying to render a project, there's a small selection list near the bottom of the "Export Media" window saying "export area". Here I can choose between "complete sequence", "work area", "sequence in/out" and "defined by user". This option jumps always back to "work area"!
That's at least for me very unconveniant, because in 99+ % of my renderings, I need "complete sequence". Normally the software remembers the last used setting, but not in this case. I can imagine that one can fight about what's the best default setting: I Guess everyone is using Premiere differently. So in my opinion a predefined setting option would solve best for all: Just add one mor setting in the Presets section, maybe in "General" or make a new rubric "Export" or something. Just a place where everyone can predefine which setting for the export media area option he likes.
No big deal, just one more presettings option!
I hope I could make myself clear what I'm meaning
Thanks in advance!

Export as FLV not in menu

In my final cut pro 6 there is no option to export as FLV. Why doesn't it show up? When I look how to export as FLV on google it says it should be there. Thanks

Emerson might mean Telestream's Episode. It used to be called Compression Master by Popwire, but T-Stream owns them now, and it's supposed to be pretty awesome...with a Flash (flv) option.

Can't export an FLV file using FCP

I have a video I created using Final Cut Pro and I need to
get it into a Flash file. It is an option to export and FLV file
but it doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone on here has had
similar problems. On the Apple Forum they recomended I ask here
because the export to FLV file is only available for users with
Flash installed on the computer....any ideas/suggestions very much
appreciated?????

It's from a digital camcorder, just looked in the item
properties, the format seems to be NTSC??

Upgrading to Adobe CS4 warning - save export to flv option!

For those users who got used to the convenient export directly to .flv from FCP and Quicktime, the new version of Flash (10), and CS4 have done away with the component. To retain this wonderful time-saving ability, one must save the FLV.component file that lives in Library/Quicktime folder to another location. The installer will seek and destroy the file in that folder during upgrade/installation. Just put the file back in that folder after installation to keep your export to flv option.
Just a heads up!

This is 100% true and a very, very helpful post.
Thanks Mattica21!

Exporting a flv: coming out of Media Encoder CS4 blurry

When I export a flv from Premiere CS4, in the Output plane of the Export Settings window, everything looks fine: crisp and sharp, exactly like the source. However, after the file shows up in Media Encoder, the output becomes blurry. Checking the settings in Encoder, they are the exact same as in Premiere, but in the Output plane, the image is now blurry (source is still sharp). How can I fix this?

The bitrate setting is 1400. When using CS2, I had the same setting, but everything was sharp. But in CS4, it no longer is.

CS4 export to.flv with Alpha dimensions problem?

Hi-
I am exporting an actress from a greenscreen shoot (original file 1920x1080p) That I want to put on a webpage.
She is keyed well and I have got to the export stage.
I have exported to flv. with alpha at various 16;9 dimensions (640x480etc) and that all works fine in Flash.
However, the actress is in the middle of the frame and the transparency is all around. Can I make the window size square? 360x360?
Therefor, cutting out some of the 'transparent' space either size and then ending up with a 360x360 file?
thanks
scott

Scott,
I do not have CS4, but believe that you can Crop your Export with FLV and the positioning should be centered. Remember, this is an assumption on my part.
Good luck,

Exporting to FLV Using Final Cut Express

I am using Final Cut Express 4.0 to edit my full HD film footage (29.97fps 1920x1080HD). The final film will be uploaded to my website for viewing. I will be hosting my own videos and using my own player. I need to get the videos to .flv format for easy web viewing. Unfortunately, I have learned the hard way that FCE doesn't export to FLV nor does it predict your export file size. What a shame! My videos are 7.5 minutes long, so the files are large. Currently, I am using a two 3rd party free video converters. The first provides me more flexibility in compressing my video using H.264. I reduce the resolution to 1280x720HD for a reduced file size. Next, I use the other converter to take the compressed file and convert it to FLV. This is where the video becomes unbearable. I received better conversions when I uploaded to YouTube and allowed them to do it. The purpose for me trying to compress and encode the videos myself was to improve the quality of my videos on the web. Feedback I have received was that my free encoders aren't good. It has been suggested to me that I purchase Adobe Flash CS4 to convert to FLV. My problem is I don't want to spend $700 to convert a video. Do I have any other viable options?

no need for converter #1, .. the zillions of options in FCE's 'Export using QT'-dialog allow same settings..
450sec of 720/30fps material will create STILL huge files .. the point for setting the 'quality' is the socalled bitrate; e.g. famous tool VisualHub (not avail anymore) allowed a manual setting, to find a mix of size vs. pic quality. .. check your converter tool, where and how to set the bitrate. but: the better, the bigger ..
I dare to say, even the mentioned elaborated tools don't do wonders.
consider downsampling the framerate by half to 15 (in the 'Size' dialog on Export from within FCE).
consider an even smaller res 960x540 ..
don't forget to de-interlace for web-deilivery (reduces file size a lil'..)
downsize audio sampling rate to 22kHz.. mono .. saves a few MB ..

Error code = -32766 when trying to export to flv

I get that error when trying to export to flv using iMovie 08, any idea why I am getting this error?

iMovie 7 allows export to YouTube accounts that would generate a .flv file but I believe that conversion to Flash is still handled by the YouTube upload.
Long ago Macromedia (now Adobe) offered a Flash Exporter that, when installed, added the option to export to Flash Video from any QuickTime aware application. You may have moved that old component from a previous install to a newer machine.
I don't think it has ever been updated to run native on Intel Macs so you would need to run the app under Rosetta.

No option to export as AVI?

Hi,
I am having problems with AME CS6 - having upgraded from 5.5. Initially running AME CS6 was a nightmare and it hung on loading the QuickTimeEncoder - the best fix for which was reply 15 (Seth) here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4540908 - thank you so much.
Now, however, I have no option to export as AVI - I had to completely reinstall and then overcome a "not activated" issue to get more export options than just H264 and FLV - once I did that and got a more comprehensive export list, it still omits AVI - has it been dropped as a standard? I doubt it, but I am at a loss - any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Ah, I had not made that connection. I have known export options like wmv from my mac in the past, but have recently switched to AME. For backwards compatibility, where windows can export dv, mov etc which are mac compatible, I feel the same should have been true for mac! For my colleagues with windows machines locked down by admin control who cannot install any decent encoders, I need to export as mpeg1 (yes 1 of all things) or avi for powerpoint purposes! At a bit of a loss now what to do to get my .mov files out to windows users with a limited system - them changing their system is not an option!

Batch export of multiple clips from one video in Premiere CS4

Hello,
I'm really in a bind and hope you guys can help me out. I have about 30 hours of video in about 30 mpg files..1 hour in each video. I need to splice out small clips from each video..anywhere from 10 to 20 clips in each and send them to Media Encoder to store as video files I can then re-use. In CS3 I can do this manually one clip at a time ..set In point, Out point and then export. This however takes a very very long time....set the ins/outs, then export, then wait, then repeat..very tedious
In CS4 can i set multiple ins/outs for the entire video and then have premiere go to work and do a batch export? Or is there another way of doing this? I have about a week left to get this done and at a total of about 450 clips to export each 2-5 mins for encoding this will take forever...plase help!
Stan

It wont do exazctly what you want but.... But the batch encoding should save you some time since you can continue to work while it encodes/exports.
Do you need to make more than one output type? Like DV, WMV, FLV... for each one? If so, I suggest this workflow:
1. Open source file 1 in Source monitor set in and out, ctrl drag subclip to a folder in the project panel.
2. Repeat step 1 for any other subclips needed from source clip 1
3. When done with first source clip go into bin where you put your subclips click on them one at a time and do export/media to your lowest compressed need (like DV AVI for example); it will be added to AME queue
4. Repeat step 3 for all subclips, then click start queue.
5. While AME is exporting all the subclips for your first source clip, repeat steps 1-3 on source clip 2...
When you are all done; if you need to make multiple output types for each file; Do (IN AME) File>New>Watch Folder
Create a Watch folder for each output type you want. Then simply copy all the exported clips you want inot each of these folders and AME will process them all for you in batch.
It doesnt do exactly what you wished for; but should save you a few buckets of time.

Export to FLV / F4V from CC 2014

After updating from PrPro CC to PrPro CC 2014 (or rather from MediaEncoder CC to MediaEncoder CC 2014 i guess) the options to export your sequence to F4V and FLV has vanished.
• Am I the only one missing that option?
• Is there a work-around?
A: No, I was apparently not the only one... See this AME-thread: AME 2014 flv missing
B: Well, besides keeping the previous version of AME alongside the new one, it seems that switching to the H.264 format is the way to go.

I wasn't, but after some tinkering I've found a couple of issues. After reverting back to the NTSC DV preset and modifying from there, it'll generate the error when I try to set it for a CBR of 15 Mbps. Anything below that is fine. Also when trying to use MATCH SOURCE, it errors out until you uncheck Profile and Level. The video playback server I send clips to is rather picky, so I try to give it as easy of a file as possible.. CBR and 1 GOP seems to make it rather happy. All of those work, except the 15 Mbps CBR. It's an annoyance but one I can work around for now.
I'll submit a bug report to Adobe and see what they say.

Exporting to FLV with trasparent background

Hello all,
I am finding myself in a bit of a delema...I have hundreds of little movie clips with trasparent backgrounds that need to be exported as FLV's. From my experience (or lack there of) and knowledge, to find the best export settings to create a FLV that looks good with the lowest file size comes down to the good old trial and error method. I've tried numerous different settings and to be quite honest, I can't really tell that big of a difference in the video when it's be exported at 200 kbps compared to 600 kbps. Maybe I'm blind. But, I do notice the size of the file(s) go up quite a bit.
The quesions are...
1. When exporting to FLV's with transparentcys, is it worth it to crop the frame size? I've tried this a few different times and in fact noticed the file size go up after cropping the frame size. One would think that the a file that is "smaller" in dimensions would be smaller in size. Although, I guess it's more about the information being translated in the video.
2. Is there a trick to this exporting to FLV beast?
Thanks in advance!

I'm kind of wondering if it might be better to just include the backgrounds into the videos and export them as H.264
That would be an option. It really depends on what the page looks like that you'd be embedding these into. That's the nice thing about the transparency--you only really have to be concerned with the foreground. But, if your page is something simple, like a solid color, you'd probably get the same visual result by putting a color solid behind your keyed subject in Premiere, and exporting to a non-alpha clip, like an H.264 MP4.
do you know if you can dynamically load H.264 into a swf?
Umm... no I'm just a measly video guy
Seriously, though, you may want to have a look at F4V; that will probably do exactly what you need, as it's H.264 compressed video in an Adobe-ized container format. It's available in the FLV/F4V options you've been working with. Just note that, since it's H.264, it does not support an alpha channel.
Or, could I export to H.264, import the H.264 file back into Premiere and re-export as a flv? I assume I'd still be stuck in the same position at the end of all of that though...
Worse You'll have applied a second round of compression rather needlessly. You can use some third-party trickery to rewrap an H.264 stream into an FLV--I've actually done this before for HTTP pseudo-streaming web videos--but you still won't have alpha.
I think this is just a matter of deciding how you want to fit the videos into the rest of the design. If it were me, and I had the flexibility, e.g. a solid background, I'd forgo FLV and use H.264 in an MP4 container or F4V instead.

Export to FLV not available

We have Quicktime Pro on two machines: G5 dual core and a Mac Pro. On the Mac Pro there is available in the Export menu a Movie to Flash Video (FLV) option. This option is not appearing on the G5. All other formats are available. Why? Thanks for the help.
PowerBook G4 1.5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Export to FLV (like export to WMP formats) is added by third party software to the QuickTime export menu.
Since they are third party you would first need to install that software before the options could be found in QuickTime.
Export to WMP is done via http://flip4mac.com and it allows "demo mode" (30 second limit) during the trial and full exports after you purchase an upgrade.
Export to FLV is (was) done with an install of Flash 6 (and higher). I don't know if that component is yet Universal (Intel CPU aware).
My machine also includes an Export to MPEG which was added by an old install of Toast.
So. Now you know how it got there and why the menus are different on different machines.
