Editing flv files in flash

I have a long video in flv format that I want to break up
into smaller chunks. Is it possible to do this in Flash cs3 and
how?
thanks.

From your description, it sounds like all of the loaded
movies, are loaded in at the start of the first Flash movie.
Additionally, in this 6.swf movie, the first .flv file is set to
begin to play as soon as that movie is loaded. That's why you are
hearing the sound track playing when the first movie loads.
You can fix this by changing the code in 6.swf so that the
first movie doesn't begin to stream/play when it loads. If there is
a button to play this movie then this should be a trivial task.
Another option is to not load 6.swf when the first movie starts,
but to wait until 6.swf is called to be shown.

FLV is FLash Video. You will want to use a program such as After Effects or Premiere Pro to edit video, not Flash Professional.

How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

Hi,
I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
It seems the mask is not working with this option.

Actually it should be like the above.
But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.

Edit FLV files online

we need to develop a web application which can edit FLV files
online and save to the database . i.e we will need to add text
titles to flv files online .
can you recommend any of your products suitable for this type
of web based application . we think that our application will be
similar to www.clipgenerator.com .

The Moyea FLV Plugin to force Premiere Elements to import flv files is a popular question from time to time.
I know from personal experience that it does work for Premiere Elements 4, 7, and 8.0/8.0.1.
I have just downloaded the Moyea FLV Plugin from the site whose link I had previously posted in your thread in order to verify that it still works with 8.0/8.0.1 and flv importing. It still does. This was verified with a flv file, the Moyea FLV plugin, and Premiere Elements 4, 7, and 8.0/8.0.1.
Some tips, if necessary,
Once the plugin is installed, I found no desktop icon for it.
What happened is this...You open your Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 project, you import your flv file with Get Media/Files and Folders.
At that point, you get a Moyea Software pop up with Order or Try. I hit Try.
At that point, the flv is imported, but look for it in "Project" when the Organize (blue) header is the selected. It did not pop up in the Organize/Media sector.
I have yet to remember or try versions later than 8.0/8.0.1 with this plugin. My recollection is that the plugin does not work with these later versions of Premiere Elements.
More later if necessary.

Editing FLV files - Split / Merge

Our studio is moving to a Flash video streaming solution from
a RealVideo streaming one. We stream multiple live streams daily
and archive our streams as well and there are times when we'd like
to edit the .flv video files to cut out a section or maybe merge
two flv files. For RealVideo files, this can be done using the Real
Media editor that is built into Real Producer. Is there any
solution to accomplish this with FLV files?
I've scoured google and I've found workarounds that involved
converting the .flv file into an avi or an mpeg, editing it and
then converting it back using multiple programs and plugins to
accomplish this, but that process is too complicated for most of
the end-users in our studio and converting the format over and over
obviously causes degradation in the quality of the video. Has Adobe
created a standalone tool to split/merge flv files? If anybody has
a solution please share. Thanks!

Hey Jason,
Your best bet is to do all the editing you need prior to
encoding. Forgive me if this is a little condescending, but for our
company, the encode to .flv format is the penultimate/final stage
of production.
I can't be sure, but I believe a program such as preniere or
after effects has good integration with Flash - you could output
directly to .flv
In terms of merging two .flvs, you're right - the options are
limited. You can either redo your edit (tricky for long sequences)
and re-encode, or alternatively code something to stick the two
flvs together...very heath robinson, i know!

Audio quality degraded when imprting FLV file to Flash FLA

Hi,
I have created a FLV file using Adobe Media Encoder CS5.
I have played it back on Several Media players and it sound fine.
I import it into a Scene in Flash CS5 aand when I preview the Scene the audio has degraded and sounds terrible.
The audio is mono at 48 kbps.
I cannot find any controls or options to edit the audio of the video.
I have rendered it out several times using different settings but it alway plays back the same highly compressed tinny sound.
Any advise?

Try with your publish settings in flash to adjust your audio quality while publishing, look into the below screenshot:

Using a FLV file in Flash for Web Graphic

Hello thank you for looking in.
I made a FLV file in After effects. 5 seconds long. I would like to convert it (So I think) in Flash so I can park it on my website for some 'eye candy' I was able to import the FLV an After Effects creation exported as an Alpha FLV.
I import it to the stage, have a few options about players when doing so. I used the stand alone Player option when opening my sequence. I prewview it and it works fine using both Browser and Player mode when previewing movie. However, I am unsure how to make that file play or loop forever? I am unsure of exporting it so I can just upload it to my Wordpress site and stuff it in my header so it plays when a browser opens that page. I know that is a tall order to ask. If you could either direct me to a link to the proper steps I would need to learn I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for any direction on this one. I have created a flash poject or two and exported them as swf and have had them work, but I have never used an imported FLV is there any diff? And how come it does not automatically loop without the ACTION ()Stop ?

I was able to get my FLV FLASH to Loop, must have been a glich on my end. Closed it and reopened it and it reverted back to a loop. I am still wondering, or I forgot the steps to exporting my work with JS ? I cannot remember where I found that info, nor how I did it. As of now I turn on JS toolbox and my Html export is a white box....I would love to export as no background, or Alpha and have the JScode export so all I need to do is cut and paste into my HTML page and change the upload address or A href " " Steps...Anyone? Thanks
BTW I was able to export my AE file as a SWF however all the cool stuff that made the eye candy was not supported like fill over stroke or 3d when exporting out of AE direct as a SWF with LOOP. FWIW

How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

Hi Everyone,
I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
Does that help?

Can't seem to stream (RTMP) an FLV file in Flash Media Playback from the Amazon Cloud

I seem to be having trouble streaming any FLV file using RTMP from the Amazon Cloud. Other file formats (i.e., MP4, F4V) seem to work just fine.
I tried using your Flash Media Playback demo page and still had the same problem:
http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/
Without publicly displaying the actual connection path here, this is what I am using for the Video Source (URL):
rtmp://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net/cfx/st/_definst_/MyVideo.flv
If I change the "MyVideo.flv" to "mp4:MyVideo.f4v", for example, then it works. But when I try to reference any FLV file that I have located on the Amazon Cloud then it just shows continuous buffering.
The FLV files that I am trying to use with both the Strobe and Flash Media Playback(s) all stream just fine when I connect to them via other Flash based applications/players that I have.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
The link to the previous post does not seem to apply or help in this case. Please let me know if I am wrong.
I am merely trying to stream any FLV file using your Flash Media Playback demo page. What am I missing here?
Thanks again.

Can't Open .flv Files in Flash Player

I have Flash and Flash Player 9 on my Mac OS v.10.4.11. I
cannot open any .flv files with the player. Many are files that I
encoded with the Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder. When I double-click
on an .flv file, it opens the player, but no file. Same if I try to
open the file from within the player.
Anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.

That is because you can't open FLV files.
You can import them into an FLA for playback. Or you can
publish a swf that dynamically loads the FLV and plays it back, but
you will need to either use a Playback component or use
Actionscript to do that.

FLV FILES IN FLASH SITE DESIGN

Can anyone give me some suggestions, I am using a flash
template that has 7 separate flash files (1.fla; 2.fla;3fla; etc.)
that feed into the 1.fla/1.swf/1.index.html flash page. I have
incorporated a small movie with no sound into the swf.1 file and
then the rest of the files have simple text but in the 6.swf file I
utilized another template by Dan Carr which he put up on this site
that has an flv movie player with 5 flv files. I have no problem
with this template it works wonderfully, the problem is it opens
and play independently but it is 6.swf and when I open my
1.swf/1.index.html file the voice from the first movie in my 6.swf
file plays. The movie sound that plays from my 6.swf file is the
first flv movie on that page which has 4 other flv movie files. I
don't understand why the sound track for that flv file is playing
in my homepage or 1.swf file. Expermenting, I took the voice out of
that first flv movie player and with the voice/soundtrack out of
the first flv/movie in 6.swf then no other sounds carry forward to
the homepage or the 1.swf/1.html page. But I want to keep all 5
movies in my 6.swf file/movie player and not start that file with a
blank flv spot and then 4 other movies. I would appreciate any
suggestions.

High CPU usage when playing flv files with flash

As more and more FLV videos are moving to HD, I'm noticing
high CPU usage and lots of dropped frames when playing FLV video in
web browser with Flash 10. This is true even if the video isn't
full screen. I've tried a variety of browsers (Firefox, I.E.,
Chrome) and the problem occurs on all of them so it's pretty clear
it's a limitation in Flash.
Now my PC isn't high end (it has a Pentium M 1.86 GHz
processor), but I can take those same FLV files and load them in
something like Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player (when
using ffdshow) and play the FLV files full screen with little or no
drop in frames and an acceptable CPU rate.
This is especially annoying on sites like YouTube where I
actually have to save the video and play it back in something other
than Flash to have it play back at an acceptable rate. This doesn't
work for other sites like Amazon.
Why is the CPU usage so high when decoding and displaying
videos when compared to other media players?

I've been doing research about this excessively high CPU usage problem (100%!) for weeks because I have also experienced it with my vista home premium laptop. Just recently, I have finally found the solution. The problem is not your browser or your OS or your pc's memory. The problem is caused by authorization for flash player.
Read the link (posted below) carefully and follow the steps accordingly. If you have already done steps 1 through 6 with your computer, you can go straight to step 7.

Please let me know also if the link solves your problem. I am sharing this because Adobe seems unable to provide solutions to this, and I don't want to hear people suffer.

"Finding occurrences" error when editing .mxml file in Flash Builder 4.6 Premium (Trial)

I am evaluating Flash Builder 4.6. Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I am trying to go through the Flex in a week training series but I am getting a lot of the "Finding occurrences" errors when editing the mxml files.
The error:
An internal error occurred during: "Finding occurrences".
java.lang.NullPointerException
This error occurs almost every time an xml tag is edited.
I can dismiss the error window that pops up by hitting 'Enter' and can continue editing the .mxml file but the error keeps repeating.
I was getting this error in the Day 1 set of exercises but after awhile the errors just stopped.
Now that I have imported the Day 2 starter projects, the error has started again but is occurring on almost every keystroke when editing an xml tag/element!.
Anyone have any ideas how to correct this issue?

Ok, I seemed to have found a solution/workaround for the error.
After importing the Day 2 starter projects, I did not exit and restart Flash Builder. After exiting/restarting Flash Builder, I can now edit the .mxml files without the annoying "Finding occurrences" errors.

Importing/editing FLV file from pc and making dvd

Hi everybody... new Mac user/owner here... virgin sorta hehe.
I am an internet broadcaster who has to stream via pc. Once I have finnished show, I need to get said file in to my Mac and edit with Imovie...I think. I have been trying to do this with toast8.4 but everytime I make a dvd with toast... IMovie only can see files ads FLV and won't open.
Any suggestions for this rookie would be appreciated
cheers

A coworker taught me how to create a "macro" for doing this. Under Windows, choose actions, at the bottom there is a symbol for "create new action".
The click the record button, and go through the motions of select object, text objects; transform each; etc...
The software I am useing to create these data plots only has WMF and PNG as output formats. I need to change font sizes etc in Illustrator,
so I need the WMF format and not a bitmapped format (same for using a "screen grab" to get a JPG or similar from the Windows screen).
Up until a year ago, Illustrator was importing the WMF files with no trouble. It only started inverting the text when I upgraded hardware
and software on my Mac.
I have several other Windows-Only programs that export WMF files, and the text elements are not inverted in any of the others. So
this problem is not simply a "bug" in Illustrator, it seems specific to the plots exported by this one peice of Windows software. I will
write to the authors of that software to allert them of the trouble.
Thanks to every one, for rapid replies to this!
