FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...

Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
Last Modified: February 13, 2009
Article: TS2593
Symptoms
Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
Products Affected
Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
Resolution
This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.
===
I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

oh well.

New MacPro Freezing when exporting to Flash FLV

Hey guys, Hope you can help. I have been trying to export some videos to an FLV file yet every time I try my MacPro gives me the pinwheel and FCP stops responding. A few things you should know:
I just go this MacPro for work (I'm at work). Specs are below. It's less than a week old.
I also just upgraded it to Leopard - It came with Jaguar and an upgrade DVD.
Also, my MacBook Pro exports to FLV just fine, which is still running Jaguar (it couldn't install Leopard correctly for some reason)
I installed FCP Studio2 via a transfer from my laptop during the initial startup of the MacPro.
Anyone had this happen? Now every time I need to export I have to transfer everything over to the laptop.

For those who haven't figured it out yet, encoding to Flash thru Final Cut Pro (doesn't matter what version) seems to be choking on Leopard's system.
I have a Quad 3.0gHz MP with 9GB of RAM exporting to Flash all the time and it works great...whereas on my 2.4gHz IC2D 17" MBP with 4GB of RAM it chokes.....
I did some research and the reason is simple....Leopard and FCP's Flash exporting do not mix well. On the MP, I'm still running 10.4.11 and everything exports fine...no spinning beach ball of death, and it exports quickly. It exports JUST as quickly on my MBP, BUT because I have Leopard (10.5.2) on it, it hangs.
If you check where the file is being saved on your comp/external hard drive, you'll see that even though FCP "Isn't responding," that it IS in fact still encoding, but Leopard for some reason doesn't like the encoder or something involved with it.
I know this doesn't solve the problem, but that is the reason as to WHY it is hanging...any system with Leopard rendering out to Flash will have this issue until Apple releases an update for the fix..

FCP freezes when exporting for iphone

so i have a widescreen dv project about 2 minutes long and i'm trying to export it to the iphone using the default settings, and when it hits 20%...it totally locks up and won't even force quit. ***?! my whole machine is up to date, but i'm still on FCP5. any ideas? I have already repaired permissions in disk utility.

oh well.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

Trying to export to flash video

I thought there was a way to export to flash video within FCP, but apparently that doesn't look like that's the case. How do I export my project to a flash video file?
Is there a program I should install (e.g. the sorenson squeeze?) in order to convert?
Thanks.

Sorenson Squeeze will work for you. But also take a look at the products Wes suggested. Pick the one that works for you.
Keep in mind that there are two options for exporting to a flash file. One is to export as an .swf file, which includes the little player with transport controls and all, the other is to export as an .flv file, this file requires that the website or whatever have a flash video player (not to be confused with Adobe's Free Flash Player) this player is a control box that calls for the flv file and then plays it. The flv file is smaller but won't play on its own.
Hope this helps,

Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality

I'm using Premiere Pro CS3. I shoot green screen in HDV and work in 1440 x 1080. I have been capturing files in Premiere and sending them to Serious Magic Ulta 2. I use this program for keying and adding virtual backgrounds. I save these files as avi. with a resolution of 1440 X 1080. I then bring them back into Premiere Pro for final edit. When I export these video's encoded as mpeg2 theyplay very clear. I am now trying to export as flv. with alpha channel background and the resolution is poor. I working on the transparent background with walk on spokespersons that overlay the HTML page. When In try to play them on my computer the adobe media player is what comes up. I have downloaded flash player but it doesn't select it to play the video. I'm running windows Vista Business platform. What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the reply.
The capture and editing have already been done in 1440 X 1080. Should I use this resolution rather than trying to bump it up to 1920 X 1080.
Thanks

Subject: Using Premiere Pro CS3 When exporting as flash file poor picture quality
Computer playback generally prefers square pixels. Make sure to set your output resolution to 1920 x 1080 using a Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of 1.0 or Square.
See if that helps.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (flv) File into Site

Hi -
I'm having problems inserting a Flash Video (.flv) into my webpage. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.
I'm going to: Insert - Media - Flash Video, browsing to the .flv file that's in my local site folder, entering the settings.
In Dreamweaver, there's a big gray box w/ flv icon in the middle. But when I go to preview, the screen is empty, no video.
I'm creating the .flv file w/ Screen Mimic (a screen capture recording software). This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others. This is the first video that I've made that I'm trying to insert.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative.
thanks!
Stacey Stanley

This could be a problem w/ the Screen Mimic file because I have no problem inserting other flv files supplied to me by others.
That would my guess too. Here are few other things to consider:
1) Does your FLV filename contain any spaces or special characters? If so, rename it without spaces as these can cause problems.
2) Output Screen Mimic project to a QuickTime MOV file. Then use Adobe Flash Encoder to convert the MOV to FLV.
3) When you tested your page, was it a live page on remote server? Did you upload the page and all supporting files to server (Scripts folder, SWF, FLV...)?

Hide controls flash video (flv)

Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks for your assistance Jim....
I can't view the code in the library or action script. I am using a default skins (Corona Skin 3) that you apply through dreamweaver "Insert Media > Flash Video". I open up the skin in Flash, but it is a swf and I can't seem to find any code to alter.
Here is a link to what the video where the client wants the hidden controls :
http://www.harithproductions.com/index09.html
I did find a more transparent skin, so If I can't figure it out, maybe he can live with it.
I am not experienced in editing the skins, so I apologize for being a little naive.

Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
"While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
with an OK button.
If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
Anyone have an idea what is going on?

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

IMovie '08: Movie to Flash Video (FLV)?

Hello,
Long story short, I sent some the below directions to a co-worker on how he could export an FLV from iMovie '08... but he told me that he did not have the "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)" option. Do the below directions not apply to all copies of iMovie '08?
1. Go to menu: "Share" and choose "Export Using Quicktime"
2. From the "Export:" drop-down, choose "Movie to Flash Video (FLV)"
3. Click the "Options" button, and use these settings:
-- "Profiles" tab: Choose "Flash 8 - Medium Quality (400kbps)"
-- "Video" tab: Leave as default settings, but change "Max data rate"
to "464", and "Key frame intraval" to "6".
-- "Audio" tab: If your video has audio, choose "Encode audio" and set
the "Data rate:" to "48 kbps (mono)"
-- "Cue Points" tab: Leave at default settings.
-- "Crop and Resize" tab: Choose "Resize video". All videos should be
set at 480px width... So, if your video is 720x480, you would scale it
to 480x320 (4:3 ratio). 1920x1080 would scale down to 480x270 (HD 16:9 ratio.)
- Hide quoted text -
4. Click "Ok"
5. Choose a Save location under the "Where" drop-down.
6. Click "Save".
Your thoughts?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Micky

Exporting QuickTime to Flash Video (.flv) requires a complete install of Adobe Flash software ($$$).
QuickTime 7.4 has ended support for Flash Video inside QuickTime containers and you may run into other issues with the Adobe component because of this.
The free Perian component did allow import of .flv into QuickTime Pro and export to QuickTime formats. That too has ended in version 7.4.
Cheap way would be to upload to YouTube and let them convert and create your .flv file. Then just "borrow" the Flash Video file by opening the direct link and saving using a browser.

No audio when exporting from mpeg to flv

We have two PCs with Premiere Pro and AME installed, and just upgraded to CC. On one computer exporting works fine, on the other one, I'm losing the audio when exporting from mpeg to flv. I have used the same preset as on the other computer (that works) and also tried other presets that came with AME.
I can't figure out why this wouldn't work on one but works fine on the other? Anyone who knows?

How are you determining that the FLV has no audio? Are you playing it back in VLC Player or importing it into Flash?
Also, do you see a full range of formats on the system where you don't hear audio? If some formats are missing this might be a licensing issue. Also check if AME recognizes audio on the MPEG source (hover over it in the queue and look for audio info in the tool tip).

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. It never used to do that. How do I fix this.

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
.. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications. what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an OS X 10.7.3,
works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

Looks like it was a memory problem with the jvm.ini file.
Pumped it up to 256 and it works now.
Hope this helps anyone else in the future if they come across it.
Thanks.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!
