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.

  • Export 720x1280 flv file from after effect

    Hi
    I made a verticle 720x1280 24fps composition in after effect and i need to render the flv file. But when i render flv its automatic resize the file to 720x1080.
    how can i render the 720X1280 flv file. I need the flv file because i need to play it in digital signage software that only accept flv file.
    Thanks
    Hassan T.

    Some formats are very particular about frame size. It's built in. Nothing you can do about it except follow the advice to always use the presets for AE comps unless you know exactly what you are doing. Your vertical file is a non standard FLV file size. Simple as that.
    If you are going to use the rendered movie in a Flash project I'd suggest that you embed an h.264 file. Use the AME (Adobe Media Encoder) to render the file. It won't matter if the file is vertical or horizontal, but FLV files will always be resized. I would even go farther than that and use HTML 5 and Javascript so your project would be mobile compatible.

  • I have update to FCP7 and now I can't export as FLV

    Hi,
    First sorry for my bad English, this is not my mother tongue.
    My problem is the next,
    In my PowerMac with FCP6, Flash8 Video Encoder, Flash8 and Quicktime Pro 7, I use to export without problem from FCP as FLV by File / using Quicktime conversion...
    Now with my new MacPro with FC Studio (FCP7, etc) and with the upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite Master collection, I can't export as FLV directly from FCP.
    Please do I need something else?
    Export my videos to FLV files is something that I have to do all the time, almost the 90% of my production finish as FLV.
    Any idea, plugin, codec or something??
    Many thanks in advance

  • After Effects CC 2014 - removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters - WHY !?

    While reading the features of AfterEffects CC2014, I noticed the following:
    "removal of H.264, MPEG-2, WMV, FLV, F4V, and SWF exporters from After Effects"
    THAT IS IS REDICULOUS!!
    NO FLV !?!?
    WHAT DO YOU EXPECT USERS TO IMPORT INTO FLASH ??
    IF no FLV export is available under After Effects CC 2014, there is NO WAY to EMBED an flv into flash !! (Linking is NOT always what is wanted!!)
    NO H264 !?!?!
    HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY ?!!?!?
    YOU BREAK WORKFLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    THAT IS REDICULOUS!!!
    Any chance of restoring such features so that it makes updating to it worthwhile ?

    To date I've primarily been a Photoshop user and have dealt with years of mystifying UX and workflow changes, features that are useless to me added, and critical ones taken away (I'm looking at you Bridge, you worthless piece of garbage).  Then, to add insult to injury, Adobe forum mods telling me I'm doing it wrong and should be jumping through more hoops to achieve the same results. Now, with AE becoming a bigger part of my work, I am sad to find, that the same culture of disconnected arrogance and myopia prevails on the AE dev team.
    "Oh um user, you really want to be going through AME, because um technically speaking there have been many problems with the H.264 and MPEG-2 exporters in After Effects"
    Oh really? Tell me more about my job. Tell me about my experiences exporting these formats directly from AE. Tell me how my client views my content, is it on a Mac, or a PC? Maybe it's on his phone, or her iPad. What kind of phone is it though? Tell me at what point in my process it's ideal to render. Tell me about other tasks I'm performing. Tell me about the resolution and the bit-rate my files should play at. Tell me the final application I will be using the footage. Probably broadcast right? Or is it web? Or is it PowerPoint? Wait, what if there is no final output? What if it's just pre-vis for some other application?
    Tell me how to win over my clients; what's the correct method of presentation to engage them most impactfully? Tell me about how much time I have to render massive video files. Is it more time efficient due to the nature of my composite to render once because my file is super shallow and will render quickly or is it more efficient to render twice because my file is extremely complex with hundreds of layers?
    That the deprecated formats were hidden away in the preferences menu is dumb and annoying. That this same preference would then be removed is despicable and petty and is further confirmation that Adobe has contempt for me as a user.

  • Black lines on flv/f4v export

    AE CS4... I am not sure what is going on, I did not have this issue with CS3.
    I am trying to export an flv or f4v (doesn't matter to me) for a web page.  My optimal output would be 400x300 square pixel from DV footage.  When I render out of AE I get black lines across the top and bottom.
    I understand that flvs like 16x16 blocks so I changed my output to 400x288 but it still does it.  Then I tried to crop the extra pixels and ended up with the same thing.
    What am I doing worng?  How do I get a clean flv out of AE with no black lines?
    Thanks!
    Curtis

    This is something I've been battling as well.  I've ton a bunch of test renders at different settings over the last several days.  I haven't found a fix at all, but I have noticed these couple things:
    If you do File/Export/FLV, the 400x300 works fine for me, no matter if I'm using CS3 or CS4.
    If you want to export cue points for use with Flash, you MUST use the render queue - which means you can't simply export - which sucks.
    Render queue always outputs black bars on top & bottom, unless I change it to 400x293 (instead of 400x300) but even then,
    I will still get the bars in some online players.
    The whole issue of PAR change from .9 to .91 is irrelevant because you can export FLV just fine, but you can't render FLV correctly.
    This points to a flaw in the way the program handles "Export" vs "Render" for this particular output.  I wish they would put out a fix for this.

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

    getting red frames when export from cc 2014.2 codec used panasonic mxf format long GOP 50p. If any solution please help on that

    i solve my red frame problem. originally my project was done in premiere pro cc 2014.2 & i render in Encoder cc 2014. in newer version i get lots of red frames. i complain a lot to adobe customer support . they said they know the issues but they couldn't solve. I was so tired from adobe customer support. one of the worse customer services i had. My friend got the mac pro & e got premiere pro cc 7.2 version. i convert all my footage mxf to mp4 in encoder cc 7.2 version and i succeed. i don't get any red frames.
    So i think the problem is in adobe encoder cc 2014.2 version. newer version.

  • Media Encoder 720x480 exporting as 656x480 when using FLV|F4V

    Version: 4.2.0.006
    When I use the FLV | F4V format and select F4V (same as source) and I'm NOT resizing the video, it shows the resolution as 656x480 instead of the 720x480 resolution of the original AVI. If I use FLV instead of F4V it comes out 655x480 and if I go out and select the H.264 format, it keeps it at 720x480. Why the hell is it resizing the video for flash?
    If it's because my DV source has non square pixels then why is it the H.264 format keeps the aspect ratio but the F4V H.264 version does not? Although I'm pretty sure NTSC DV video is square pixels no?

    Start reading on PAR (pixel aspect ratio) on the help file or manual. And no, DV NTSC is NOT square pixel. So start reading.

  • How to create alpha videos now FLV / F4V support dropped from Media encoder

    Now that Media encoder has dropped support for FLV / F4V has anyone got any ideas how you would create a video with an alpha channel for use in flash professional. With flash professional only really supporting the H.264 CODEC, I can't see any way possible to use transparent videos now.  I'm currently having to resort to installing an old version of media encoder to get back access to FLV.  Does anyone have any other thoughts on how I could achieve this using the latest software. 

    Hi Preran,
    Can you clarify why the Alpha channel video option has been removed?
    There's all sorts of reasons why people still need FLV, in our case its the video format we use with Aurasma to be able to have animated text on a transparent background in an AR environment....
    Why oh why would you just remove the option when h264 clearly doesn't replace all of FLVs features?

  • H.264 from AE 2014

    Did I seriously just read that you won't be able to export h.264 from After Effects 2014? 
    After Effects Help | New features summary- at the very bottom under miscellaneous features.
    You cannot export to the following formats in the 2014 version of After Effects CC. However, you can still import these file formats into After Effects.
    FLV/F4V
    MPEG-2
    H.264
    WMV
    SWF
    Huh?  What? 

    I'm encoding at 640x360. I usually use profile level 4.1, but this is only going to be directed towards software not hardware. There are work arounds to this, lots of them. Like encoding using Quicktime Animation codec and then re-encoding to Quicktime H.264 out of PP CS4, Sorenson Squeeze, or even Quicktime itself. All will work well. But the thing is that a person shouldn't have to go through a two-step work around like this. You want to maintain quality but Animation files are relatively huge. (By the way, its funny how PP CS4 has no problem exporting QT H.264).
    How would I use Adobe Media encoder directly? Just drop the project from AE into the queue?

  • What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

    Greetings.
    I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite.  My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
    My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool.  When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
    I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder.  I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
    The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
    We record from that capture card into WMV format.
    My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
    I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    Shack

    Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
    Caveats: NONE
    Jim,
    Thank you for your response.  I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
    Here is my situation.  We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras.  Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB).  We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
    I have been given CS4 to produce these videos.  Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync.  I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
    Appreciate any advice...

  • Save as flv/f4v missing in menu

    The option to save as flv/f4v was available in my soundbooth cs4 File menu, but after a re-install (os to windows 7) the option is gone. I only have 'save as ... .asnd, .wma, .wmv, mp3, wav, mov, avi and aif'.
    Is there a plugin or something I need installed in order for this option to become available to me, I am working with cuepoints so need to be able to export to this format. I have flash Cs4 and quicktime 7 installed.
    Anybody have a solution?
    Thanks!

    Never got the option to saves as flv/f4v back in my soundbooth cs4 menu, but here's a
    work around for anyone else needing a fast solution to this bizarre installation feature -
    Place your markers as usual in soundbooth. Save your file, in this case it's a common wav format.
    Export your markers (File>export>markers) this will generate an xml file which describes your injected cue points.
    Open Adobe Media Encoder (which should be there with your flash cs4 installation)
    Add your wav file, make sure format is flv|f4v, click on the orange preset information, expand your options by clicking on the the circle with the vertical arrows in.
    Choose flv as your export format and adjust the other settings as you please, unfortunately it seems you have to export some video (I just needed the audio though, so I made the video export options really low like resize = 50 x50)
    The on the left of adobe media encoder under the 'black' video preview click on the little stiffy disk icon to load in the marker xml file you created from soundbooth (you can also add markers from this section of the app).
    Export you flv file.
    Open flash, create a new project, choose file>import video. Choose the AME encoded flv file, set the skin to none, and import it. With the video selected on the stage you can make sure that the cuepoints were loaded in by opening windows>component inspector - the markers should be listed there.
    Go ahead and work with markers using your metadataEvent and some switch statements in the listener.
    Hope this helps, I will let you know when someday my option to do this directly from soundbooth will magically re-appear .

  • 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.

  • 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.
