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!

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 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.

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!

Merge to Panorama in Photoshop not using edited RAW files

When I had LR4, I could Edit in > Merge to Panorama in PS and it would take the edited RAW files and merge them. Now in LR5 it seems to be taking the unedited RAW files and making the panorama. Is there a setting or something I'm missing in LR5?

Yes it is that simple. Just do a google search for Lightroom and Photoshop preference file locations and you should find them. The next time you start the programs, they will rebuild them. Of course, you'll have to re-enter any custom preference settings you've used. Good luck. Of course, when you think you've located them. Just rename them and move them into another folder first. That way, if you've picked the wrong file, you can easily move it back. Once things are working, you can just delete them.
BTW, this is a good troubleshooting tool for any mac applications that are acting wonky. Just delete that preference file, and more often than not, the problem will be fixed.

Can you merge FLV files in Premiere?

Can FLV files be merged together in Premiere Pro CS4 in some easy way to form one large file? I'm thinking of the merge documents feature of Adobe Acrobat. Thanks.

Premiere cannot concatenate media files. It would have to retranscode them to a new file.
Try Flash.

FLV File support in PE7 Trial Version?

I just downloaded and installed PE7 Trial version. My main interest in this version was to be able to edit .FLV video files. I've noticed in some reviews PE7 is able to upload .FLV files to Youtube. Well the trial version doesn't appear to suport .FLV files for editing. The trial version install procedure mentions that not all features of PE7 are included in this install. My question is does the full PE7 version support editing .FLV files?

You can not import and edit FLV files in PE7, it will only export to FLV. It can import and edit SWF files. If you want to edit FLV files you will need to convert them to another format, ideally DV-AVI. You could do an internet search for a free converter (there are a few) or purchase one.

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.

Any way to make .FLV files editable in iMovie?

I have some .flv files I want to edit in imovie, but I don't know how to make them into a .dv format that imovie would let me edit. Any ideas?

I tried to use that, but it said that it wasn't compatible.

Splitting Flv file

I need to be able to split an FLV file using Java code.
I understood that ffmpeg has this ability in command line, and that JMF can use ffmpeg.
1. Is it possible in JMF? How do I do it?
2. I thought of maybe running the ffmpeg process from java instead of using the JMF. It will be much easier, but it may have bad performance and take a lot of memory. Is that correct? If I have a need for 10 asynchronous splits, will using JMF be better?
Thanks!

also, how can I get the PrintWriter file names to be dynamic instead of declaring 3 of them like I have it now? Lets say I need 5 files now, but in the future, I may need 2 files. So the "out" variable would have the out1 and out2 only.

Can I import an MP4 or FLV to Flash and make it an editable .fla file?

Can I import an MP4 or FLV to Flash and make it an editable .fla file?

Thanks for helping me.
It's a vector animation that was made in flash and exported into a swf I believe and then posted on a website and on youtube. I have the mp4 ad the flv that I have converted from the online file using an online tool. I would like to use it as a base for my own video and just switch out some of the frames and characters/backgrounds - is that possible in Premier?

FLV files and editing them in FCE HD

is this possible....like at all? the new real player allows you to d/l any web video and i noticed that FC will not let me import the flv file. so what can i do so that i can edit the videos i d/l from youtube, etc?

Use Mpegstreamclip (www.squared5.com) and convert it into a QuickTime movie with a standard format that FCE can handle.
Regards,
Armando.

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.
