FLV Flash Video support in Director 11

Guys, where do I import FLV? "Having trouble importing this
file"... Please tell me we still don't have to do the old SWF
container bullcrap. Please??? -Mark

Yes, yes you do have to use it. Make sure it's AS2 as well.

  • Flash Video Support?

    Hi all,
    The help file says you can insert Flash video into Keynote '09, but it doesn't acknowledge .swf, .flv or .f4v. So, does 09 really support flash?
    Thanks.

    Well, I'm not sure why it works, but it does. I have Flip4Mac installed, but it does not say anything about .flv files. I have Apple's MPEG player installed, but it doesn't say anything about ,flv files. Of course, the Keynote help file does not show .flv as a file format as one that works. So I wish I could better identify what is different about my software that makes this work.

  • Uploading .FLV (flash video) to Windows 7 quicktime

    I am looking to load flash video (.flv) files to quicktime so I can download to IPOD. Does quicktime pro do this or is there some software that will allow me to do it?
    I do not know of another method to get them on the IPOD.
    Thanks,
    Dwamp

    Try this : http://www.formatoz.com/
    It will convert anything from, to and back again for the iPod.
    Edit : You can also simply change the extension to .mov or .m4v.
    If the .flv file contains h.264/aac then that's it.

  • Flash 8 support in Director MX (ver 9.0)

    At the
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
    there is new support for Flash 8 SWF files in MX 2004. This is
    great and has been highly anticipated by many users. Unfortunately,
    I'm using Director MX (ver 9.0) and have a need for the support as
    well. My only option at this point is to convince the department to
    upgrade to 2004. This is unfortunate only because there are rumors
    of a new version of Director to be released. Does anyone know if I
    buy 2004 now if the new version will be a free upgrade? Or if there
    is something I can do to get Flash 8 SWFs to play in MX (ver 9.0)
    until the new version comes out which we will purchase.
    John Tumino

    Adobe has not released any information about the pricing for
    the next
    version of Director, upgrade or otherwise, so anything that
    anyone says
    on this board about it is purely speculation. But that said,
    I would
    very seriously doubt that it would be a free upgrade.
    I have not tried this, but you can try to download the 10.1
    update from
    Adobe's site and pull out the Flash Asset xtra. Put that into
    your
    xtras folder, and it may allow you to work with newer Flash
    files. Or
    it may not. But it is worth a try. Be sure to back up any
    files you
    overwrite, since it may very well cause problems.

  • Flash Video Help FLV

    I have a project for work where I have to create an online
    educational video catalogue.
    The videos are uploaded to the server. What I want to do is
    transform the videos from various formats into flv (flash video
    format) similar to the way youtube does it.
    Does anyone have any idea of how to do this and if there are
    any free tools to transform the video to flv format before, during
    or after upload. (during or after upload would be best)?

    anyone have any idea how to do this?

  • Working with flash videos .flv format

    I got a bunch of .flv flash videos that I have to use (And archive first).
    The only program I found that display those files are
    - Adobe Media Player and
    - VLC
    I would rather be able to import them in iView Media pro to tag them first but since I cannot import them into iMovie09 either I ask here.
    What should I do?
    - bulk convert them first so that iView Media pro (and iMovie) would import them?
    Thanks for your creative ideas

    I have the same issue. Everything works great in Flash 7 and
    8. I am playing .flv files from a different spot in the server and
    I am calling them from a swf file.
    In Flash 9 the file won't play. Here is my sample file:
    http://ce.byu.edu/cw/yase/.
    The quick fix security.allowDomain("*"); has no impact on this
    call. I am using my_video.attachVideo(stream_ns); to load the
    video.
    I have changed the mime type in another server, restarted and
    I have the same problem. Any help would be great!

  • Problem with Flash video/dropdowns in Mozilla

    Am trying to add a flash video to a webpage using a
    Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
    The page can be viewed: www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html
    In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of
    the menu work correctly.
    In Mozilla Firefox the video works but the dropdowns do not
    show.
    If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the
    DMXZone extension:
    <object
    classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

    />
    </object>
    The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear
    correctly.
    I would be most grateful for anyone's advice on this.

    A discussion with Adobe support lends the idea that MPEG
    layer 4 might be an issue. That since these videos come from DVD
    perhaps encoded with MPEG layer 4 that that could be the reason tha
    all of them have this problem. (Some were done using AVI - I have
    to check and see if that makes a difference)
    BUT
    According to the PDF from Adobe Design - Flash Video Encoder
    Wizard - By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    Flash should be able to convert an MPEG4 file. (Well it does
    but they all stop after 30 sec.) Now how do I solve this problem?
    All the videos still stop after 30 sec.s
    quote snip snip>>
    Flash Video Encoder Wizard
    By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    The first thing you have to understand about the use of video
    in Flash® is the original
    video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This
    format is FLV (Flash Video)
    and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or
    third-party software to
    create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such
    as Adobe® After Effects®,
    you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a
    Dreamweaver® user, the current
    version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a
    feature that allows you to add
    an FLV at the click of a button.
    The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the
    video file to the FLV format.
    When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video
    Encoder application was
    also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime,
    Adobe After Effects,
    Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine,
    they, too, were given the
    capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
    If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the
    video must be in one of
    these formats:
    • AVI—Audio Video Interleave
    • MOV—QuickTime 4 or later
    • MPEG—Motion Picture Experts Group

  • Importing Flash Video

    I need some help. I have a video. The video is in an *.avi
    format and in an *.swf format. When choosing to import a flash
    video in Captivate 3, I can only select *.flv file. Can anyone
    recommend software that will allow me to convert the avi or swf to
    the format that Captivate can import?

    You'll probably need to get Flash. The FLV (Flash video)
    encoder comes with
    Flash 8 or higher.
    It's a separate program and takes in avi's or other video
    formats and
    outputs FLV. It will not convert a SWF to FLV -- FLV is a
    video format not a
    Flash format, if that makes sense.
    Contact me offline if you need further explanation.

  • Compressing for flash video setting

    Anyone out there building content for flash video? I have a client who is shooting all their footage on a sony HD cam. All footage comes to me as 1080i60. They have requested all content be converted or embedded into flash at a 400X300 canvas size.
    I have tried some differant setting but most comes up somewhat pixilated. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.
    Ron Nava

    Maybe this is helpful: Flash 8 Pro comes with a Flash 8 Video Encoder. It automatically converts Quicktime files into a .flv flash video file WITH a .swf AND a playback skin.
    The cool thing about this is how Flash then plays this back as a "progressive download," therefore less waiting time for it to start playback and smoother playback and very nice quality.
    I have a sample of this at size 540x400, larger than I have made in the past with other programs, just to see how it would look. I'm still playing with the dimensions. Thinking of making it smaller, actually; but the quality really holds up, I thought. http://web.mac.com/bfkproductions/HomeOne/PowWowSample.html

  • Converting to flash video produces a single fine line

    Hi
    I export a video as a self-contained quicktime movie (1 min long) from FCP 5 and then use Sorensen Squeeze to convert it to a .flv (flash video) - the resulting flash video looks great except there is always (not the entire way through - usually in a couple of scenes) the occurrence of either a vertical or horizontal line (just a single one usually) on the video. It's subtle, but NOT good! It doesnt look like an interlacing issue as it is just the one line!
    The video was de-interlaced in FCP ( upper field ) and I am choosing OnVP6 Flash video - and have tried numerous settings.
    Anyone know how i stop these annoying lines?
    Thx

    Have you examined the area affected to see if it has excessive chroma or is too brite/dark?

  • Does quicktime support flash video or flv format

    Does quicktime support flash video or flv format

    Not natively; it only works if Perian is installed, and then only in Mac OS X 10.8.5 or earlier.

  • Flash Video Director Template

    Hi all,
    I created a page of info on the process of creating Flash
    Video and
    integrating them with Director. The tutorial is at:
    http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/FlashVideo/
    The top part may seem basic for some. It's there to support
    my students
    who are using clips from YouTube in their work.
    If you scroll right to the bottom, I have a FLA and DIR
    template for
    linking FLVs in Director. With the SWF created from the FLA
    movie, and
    with behaviors in the Director movie, you can dynamically
    link to FLVs
    and have controls to pause, play, rewind, and wait for the
    end of the
    FLV.
    Hope it's useful to all. Let me know if anything is unclear.
    And thanks to Chuck Neal who helped with the FLV behaviors.

    What I need is to be able to take flash 9, AS3 swfs, import
    them into a Director 11 project, and interact with the flash
    funcitons, call them, set properties, etc. Despite the
    documentation on the Adobe Director page saying this is possible, I
    have not been able to get it to work, and other posters on this
    board have stated that it is currently not possible. Any clarity or
    examples would help. I notice Director 11 has no entries concerning
    Director/flash programming yet on the Adobe Developer page, just
    tutorials for MX2004.

  • 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.
