Flash 8: FLV

Hi All,
I have a webpage where 4 flvs can be viewed. The problem is
that the playback is very stuttery. Now ive experimented with
lowering the quality in the flash vid encoder but to no avail. The
flv file sizes range from 500k to 2MB but there seems no disernable
difference between the lowest and highest quality in terms of
playback.
Hopfully someone can shed some light on this,
Cheers,
Dave.

Is this an FMS application (versus progressive download)?
If progressive download (not FMS) then the problem could be
your web hosting
service is not providing adequate bandwidth for a steady
progressive
download.

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.

Creating a DVD from flash movies (flv)

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?

Does iDVD 6 support flash movies (flv) importing?
No. You could probably convert the files to DV video (which is supported) using VisualHub at http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/
You can try it for free.
Keep in mind that the DV files will be MUCH larger. DV runs about 12 to 13 GB per hour of content.

Porting/converting an interactive DVD to Flash/SWF/FLV?

Is it possible to make a complete mirror port or conversion of an existing interactive DVD to Flash (swf+flv) so that I can put it online and interact with it with my mouse through a flash enabled browser, just like were running on a DVD player, with all the existing interactivity (menus, chapters) intact? I know about Adobe Encore CS4:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/e... (See "Publishing of DVD projects to the web")
but I can't see that you can import an exisiting DVD into Encore. You would first have to build your own menus, chapters, timeline, etc., then you could export it to Flash...
If this is not possible in Encore CS4, how can I do this? Thanks

It's not possible with Encore - you must have an Encore project, and DVD is not an importable source in Encore.
I don't know if there is even any software in existence which could do what you are asking.

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.

Exporting from Flash to FLV, docs say you can, but not how.

The Help files state that you can export animations from Flash to FLV. I'm in CS5 Pro and cannot find ANY way to do that...
Alternatively, you can use Flash to create animations for use in movies. You can create an animation in Flash. You can export the animation as an FLV or F4V file. Then, you can import the FLV or F4V file into Adobe Premiere Pro for editing. In Adobe Premiere Pro, for example, you could add titles or mix the animation with other video sources.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/WS1AFF7D02-09CE-4ff4-AFE8-30164EBC9C85.html
Are these documents wrong??
I can render to QuickTime and the encode, but I lose the linking on click to a url...
Thanks in advance for some guidance.
BTW, it really should be a lot easier in this "Pro" package to create items for YouTube for advertising purposes. Youtube accepts .FLV (Adobe - FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio) but not SWF

then you can't export an flv from flash. the help docs are incorrect.
i added a correction to the help docs. hopefully, the adobe technical writers will fix that will a future edit of those docs.

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.

Need help to save CS4 to Flash 8 FLV file

Flash Video (FLV)

I inserted a Flash video into a slide, but the video will not
loop or auto rewind even after I have selected the "auto rewind"
button. Any advice about how to get the video to loop or auto
rewind?
Thanks for your help again!
Dean

Hi Dean
I'm wondering if it's because your .FLV file needs metadata
added to it. You may wish to review fellow Community Expert and
Instructor John Daigle's site
ShowMeTheDemo and see if you
can glean any information there.

Flash Video FLV autohide skin

I imported an FLV file, specifying the ClearOverPlayMute
skin. I need to use controls *over* my video file, because the
final file must fit my video screen exactly. In Properties I
specified autohide ON, but the skin does not hide when I roll off
the video.
I noticed that if you increase the stage size, creating a
margin of dead space around the video, the controls WILL autohide
when the cursor hovers over the dead space - but again, I can't
have dead space in my layout; the final file must fit the dimesions
of my video (that's the whole purpose of skins that lay OVER the
video, right...?)
I've seen plenty of posts on other sites with this same
problem, but no solutions. Any help would be MUCH
appreciated!

In Flash 8 you click on the FLVPlayback controller, and in
the Component Inspector you change the location for the skin in the
Parameters -> Skin section. Remember this url is relative to the
swf file, not the html file calling it.

Placing object over flash video flv

Hi folks
I am trying to place a link and an image over the top of a
FLV component using css
HOWEVER the objects are always covered by the flv
I have achieved it before with CSS when working with an image
(i.e. image in one DIV and positioned relative and the overlaying
objects in another DIV positioned absolute to the image DIV) but
never with an SWF or FLV
Can anyone tell/advise me how to achieve this IF it is indeed
possible.
Or alternately another way apart from putting the flv in a
swf with the link embedded in the swf
Any help or advice much appreciated
Cheers

Flash player flv format

hi guys looking for some assistance,
I have lots of video files i wish to place in my website. These videos are all AVI format and i have been told this is too large for the web and it would be better to convert them, so off i went and purchased sony vegas and camtasia studio to do just this. Now im told flash is the best format for the web but i see no flv option in any of these applications (am i missing somthing). So i have the choice of mov, wmv or MPG4 so after trying them all looks like MPG4 is the best, however when i convert i end up with several files MPG4, SWF and an html so this is confusing me. Im kinda new to the Media side of things and would like some info. My videos range from 8 to 15 mins i wish them to be converted in such a way they will require a flash player to view can any one assist.
IF FLASH flv IS THE BEST FORMAT WHY DONT SONY VEGAS OR ANY OTHER CONVERT TO THIS......????????
Thank You

Greets!...
File-import - select import video option.
All the videos are converted to flv format. But you install qicktimer player install your system.
another Option
Using php script (ffmpeg) convert to flv format

Flash video FLV getting stuck in same spot

hi there,
i'm not sure if anyone has posted about this exact same
question, but if so, i can't find the answer. but i used to have no
problems at all importing quicktime or other format video files
into flash and exporting them as flv files. but it seems like
lately it's playing as normal and then getting stuck about half way
through. it's happening to me now with a quicktime file but it's
happened before with mp4 files as well. but...not every time.
by the process of elimination i'm trying to figure out if
it's a flaw with the originating quicktime file, if it's a quirk
with CS3, how the program is handling other files of the same
format. at times i am able to import a quicktime file and it
exports as it is supposed to. but it seems more often than not, i'm
not able to. is it the codec i'm using? the publishing setting?
i know it's not the file size because it gets stuck even when
i play it on my harddrive. i'm going crazy, has anyone else worked
through this problem or is it something wrong with my system?
helpp!!!!!!!

You'll need to create a crossdomain.xml file as evidenced by the following header:
http://web.zone.ee/crossdomain.xml
HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client—such as Adobe Flash Player (though not necessarily limited to it)—permission to handle data across multiple domains.
