Doing quick edits with .flv files

Q: is there some app (mac or PC) that can do simple lossless edits from .flv files - hopefully without re-encoding?
like just load an .flv and just edit out a segment - then re-save - that type of thing (just like you can do with quicktime pro with .mov files)

QT Pro will do it with the perian plugin.

Working with .FLV files?

What program would you recommend for converting .FLV files to:
1. a format that can be edited in FCP?
2. H.264 QT files without degrading the quality?

.flv files are already highly compressed. If you take them, edit and then compress them again (this time to H.264) you will be double compressing the files which is a guaranteed way of degrading quality. The solution is not to start with .flv files. Get the original video files.
All that being said if you are simply turning .flv files into H.264 without editing, then you might be in luck. The latest version of FLV uses H.264 as the codec (previous versions used On2 or Sorenson). You can take H.264 videos and just change the file extension to .flv and they will work. So doing the reverse should also work, if they were encoded using H.264. If they used the older codecs, then you have to double compress the files.

When I watch tv shows in Front Row that I've bought off iTunes the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video. It does not happen with other files that I have converted into mp4s. Any ideas for fixing this? It's a huge bummer...

I too have the same problem. The audio drop out of sync in about 5 sec in not uncommon for the audio to be 30+ sec behind video. Apple needs to fix this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its a joke, my iphone is all messed up after the last update as well. at one time not to long ago apple products and software were top rated, not so much any more, more and more problems are showing up and apple is unwilling or unalbe to fix the many issues. Apple needs to fix the audio sync problem, it not the computer hardware or other software it ITUNES!!!!, there is no workaround other then hitting pause and hitting pause and hitting pause to temp fix the problem.

Am editing with red files in premier pro and when I export and then upload to youtube it is not showing as an hd video. can anyone help?

Then it's probably YouTube - have you checked here to see that you're watching the hi res version? It could be that YouTube is choosing an easier version to display based on your internet connection.
You can see on this screenshot that although the video has up to 1080 specs, my connection is making YouTube show me the 360p version by default.

Does compressor work with MKV file containers

Hey
Does compressor work with MKV file containers? Reason i ask is, i typically make a single Mkv file (Movie.mkv) of my Blu Ray movies. Depending on the length of the movie, it can be 14 to 25 GB. I would like to comporess it further to get a good balance of quality and file size. I currently use handbrake to do it and get it down to 10GB with no noticeable difference in video quality. I was wondering if i can use compressor on my mac pro to do it faster and probably better than handbrake.
Rpk

What I do is open the .mkv in quicktime the do a Save As and choose Save As a reference movie. Then I take the reference file into Compressor and compress it to what I want.

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

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!

After 2013-002 security update quick look preview does not work with Office files

As title, one of best feature of Snow leopard is definitively dead!!
Office.qlGenerator is at the same path. How can i solve this bug??

Hi Yeehat and thanks for your replay.
Doing my MacBook Pro is a production machine i preferred to not waste more time to proof understand the issue and try to solve it by a workaround.
So i have reinstalled SL and it's last combo update, repaired system permission by installation disk. Now all works fine and have had no problem with applications and other settings. Magic: no loss of data or app settings. Now Office file quick look previews all files (old and new).
Font Library also works well, except about a font that which it's probably corrupted (or not compatible even if it seems to be)
At the moment i've not installed the last security update...I'm too afraid of having to start all over again :-)))
First I'll try to read up best on solutions in case Quick Look do still the same issue.
I know that it is not a "solution" but i was wasting too much job time. I think i will survive a few more weeks without it !!! :-)
Thanks again

Explorer.exe crashing when opening directory with FLV files in them

Hi,
In the past few days for no reason at all, every time I open
a folder containing FLV files, I get an error with Explorer.exe
crashing. I don't even touch a file, just opening the folder
containing them causes it.
Has anyone else experienced this issue. It getting a bit
annoying now.
All of my FLV files are created with Premier Pro CS3, and
until recently I haven't seen any issues.
Even if I use Remote Desktop into my Windows 2003 Web Server
to view the folder on Flash Media Server, my local computer drops
Explorer.exe.
cheers

it's probably because you have .flv registered as a video
file, and the explorer tries to create a video-thumbnail. (have you
installed any funky FLV video players/ or maybe a codec pack?)
If you can, try navigate to the folder in "details" view
mode..that should be fine, because details view, does not show
thumbnails.
Then try to click on one of the FLV files.. you'll see the
preview pane..and eplorer will crash.
i'm not sure how to fix this, but somehow, you should remove
.flv from the filetypes that windows conciders a video file.

Please help me with .flv files

Hi Everyone, first of I am a newbie when it comes to
dreamweaver and flash. I am trying to create a slideshow video to
play on my website. I am haveing ZERO luck this is day 3 of this
adventure and I just can't figure it out.
This is what I want to have my slideshow look like.
http://www.mod4.com/slideshows/erin/
However I don't know if I'm using the right programs or
exporting things correctly cause my slideshows are grainy distorted
and look like dung.
I have After Effects, Premier Pro, AVID Express HD, Flash 8,
Dreamweaver and Frontpage at my disposal. For the slideshow I am
using Iphoto as that program does the Ken burns effect very easeily
and quickly. It then exports them as a quicktime.
But my problem is getting the .flv file to be clean, small
and playing on my website without any problems.
I've gotten it to play but only for like 10 seconds out of
the 3 minutes.
http://www.officialratemyweddingvendor.com/slideshows.html
ANY help would be apprecitated.
Thanks!

Well, the Flash video file you've uploaded (
http://www.officialratemyweddingvendor.com/Videos/ThisisITFLV.flv
) is only
11.5 seconds in duration:
Perhaps it's become corrupted during upload? Does is play OK
locally for
you?

Quick swapping of FLV files

Hello,
What I am looking to do is swap out .FLV files quickly to
create an instant response to an action. Lets say I have a loop of
a person standing in one spot, and I have 10 different possible
.FLV files that could play. When the user clicks on a place on the
stage, the appropriate video plays that walks the person over to
that spot. I have tried loading the other files in the background,
and using a movie clip with 10 different frames, each with a
different flv in it, but that doesn't seem to work. I want to
create the illusion of instant response, so there can't be a blank
moment before the next .FLV loads. I did have some success if all
10 of the videos are loaded on each frame, with the primary one
center stage, and the rest offstage with x at 2000 or something,
but if I need to change one thing, then I have to change all 10
frames, and it gets tedious, plus it doesn't seem like the best way
to do things. Is there a way to load an FLV into memory so that
when a movie clip moves to a frame where the video lives, it will
load instantly? Am I making a mistake using the FLV playback
component? Should I be coding the whole loading differently? I also
will have this living on a stand alone computer, so there is no
need to download files, just load them from a local directory. Any
thoughts are appreciated, and I have looked at the threads about
preloading video, but they don't seem to accomplish what I am
trying to do. I am using CS3 but with ActionScript 2. Thanks...

No you can't do this on multiple files.
But you can use File>>Add folder to library to add the whole folder.
Then you remove the dead tracks - but loose counts and ratings etc.
You can even add the whole iTunes Music folder and it will not create duplicates of files it already knows about.
Removing dead tracks
Using a playlist to collect dead tracks.
Create new regular playlist – Playlist1
Select whole library and drag to Playlist1
Create new Smart Playlist with the rule: Playlist is not Playlist1
This playlist should contain all the dead tracks

Problem with FLV file

Hi All
I have an FLV file having video codec svc1 (screen video codec). When I try to playback this file in my media player developed using Flex , it does not play well and jumps regularly after few seconds. For example if I start play this file, playing first few seconds it will jump to 1min., then playing few seconds of video, it will jump to an interval between 2 to 3 min....like that.This happens continously till the file ends.
Other files are playing well in this player.
This file plays smoothly (without any jump) in other media players like VLC etc.
Plz help as I have searched a lot on internet for the solution and have made all efforts in creation of this file and making corrections in my media player but nothing work.Plz provide a solution.
Thanks

The only solution is likely to get a newer phone. The Flash player on your phone (and mine) is based on Flash 8, which is several years out of date. Also note it's called Flash Lite, which to me suggests that certain features have been removed. Your FLV file must be trying to do something the player doesn't support.

Does anyone know if ther is a way to get the sound of the file without recording it in real time?
