Workflow Questions - Premiere on Mac - for FLV file

Hi.
I want to add subtitles to an FLV file using Premiere Pro. I'm working on a Mac.
I know that I can't use the FLV so I would have to convert the FLV to an intermediate format first. Then Import that into Premiere, add the subtitles, render and convert back to FLV.
So my question isn't directly associated with Premiere, but I would like to know what you guys would recommend as far as the workflow I've described. What intermediate file format would be best so as lose minimal quality? Which software to use for the conversion from the FLV and back into the subtitled FLV?
Thanks!

How to replace Adobe Flash media player for flv files with GOM player?

By default, Firefox opens Adobe Flash for flv files. Flv files aren't listed in my application page. How can I swap Flash for GOM or another player?

Sam,
Welcome to the forum.
Where do you need to play this "sprite" (the name for such a Flash video)?
If you need to add that to a Video, then there could be a few challenges in PrE.
If you need to add it to a Web site, then Flash Player (free from Adobe) should be able to display that.
Can you please give us just a bit more info, on how you wish to use the sprite?
Good luck,

Flash Player for FLV files with alpha channel encoded

My goal is to play the the transparent background flash video on the bottom right hand corner similar to the video on this website : http://www.dropshipblueprint.com/
I already have the FLV file with alpha channel encoded. I was made to understand I will need a special flash player that can read alpha channel in the flv file to make the background transparent? Is this correct? If yes, then how to accomplish this or where do I get that player, maybe opensourece player? If the player is not a solution then how do I accomplish my end objective taking into consideration I have the FLV file with the alpha channel encoded. Thanks for your help. Sam

Making Flash Player Default Program for .flv Files

I'd like to use Adobe Flash Player as my default program to open .flv files. How do I find the flash player executable file on my computer? I have the latest flash player successfully installed on my computer (Win7, 64-bit, Firefox) but cannot locate the executable file when I use the find program to use with this file type browse command. Any ideas on where it may be located? I did not see it in any of the Adobe folders in the program files (x86) folder. Thanks for your help.

Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable player.
There is a standalone player (Projector) that you can download from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but this player can only play .swf files.
There used to be an Adobe Media Player to play .flv files, but is is no longer available. Use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player to play .flv files.

I'm using Firefox 3.16, and want to download/open a .flv file with Flashplyer plugin 10.2.153.1 which is also installed. How can I ad Flashplayer to the dropdown list of applications so I can select it for .flv file?

Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Firefox 3.16, Adobe Flashplayer 10.2.153.1

Thanks. I was clicking on a .flv file thinkin that I needed to download it from Khan Academy, however, that was not necessary. All I had to do was click on the forward arrow appearing above the download location to actually play the video. I now understand how to play the videos.
Thanks again.

Need to setup Premiere CS6 sequence for two file types with different field orders

I have a client who has shot video for me using two cameras, one camera was set to progressive, and the other to interlaced upper field first. I need to use both file types in the edit and have been struggling to set up the sequence to get the best look for the end product, a DVD. I have several videos to do for her that were all shot in the same way, so I need a solution!
I would appreciate help figuring out how to set up this work flow from beginning to end.
Should I convert one of the files from the beginning so they match field orders before going into a sequence? Or do I just need to do some adjusting of the files once they are in the sequence? Is it just as simple as changing the transcode settings to favor the upper field first? I'm definitely having issues once the video is transcoded in Encore and you can see a lot of jagged edges and lines especially during movement. My client isn't happy and I've tried several workarounds, but to no avail.
Here are the two file types I have:
File extension: .MOV
H.264, 1920x1080, Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 48000 Hz, stereo
FPS 29.97
No Fields: Progressive Scan
File extension: .MTS (my Mac finder can't read these files, but they are read in Premiere)
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - 6 channels
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Upper Field First
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6.0.2
Encore 6.0.1
Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
I am running it on an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011
with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
I've just been setting the sequence to match the .MOV files since they look much better than the .MTS files. I've done the opposite as well, setting the sequence to match the .MTS files and it doesn't seem to help. I've also changed the field order of the files once they are in the sequence by changing the field options and have tried converting the .MTS files in the Media Encoder, but nothing I've done has worked.
Any help would be so appreciated! The client I have is a photographer, so she wasn't aware of this issue when she first shot these videos. So I have 10 videos with these issues I need to get back to her, hopefully issue free! I'm struggling as an editor because my last job I was using FCP and was working with videographers who knew what they were doing, so I've never faced such problems before. Plus I'm new to the Adobe software. Not a good combination. Please forgive me if I didn't give all the information you need. I will happily respond with whatever more information you may need to help me out!

I wonder if you could do your edit ignoring any visual issues of the interlaced footage but keeping the different sources separate ( checkerboard edit Vid 1/ Vid 2 )
Lock it down then export the interlaced part of the edit as a Digital Intermediate.
Maybe Export the other source as well to the same codec. DI
Bring them back together in a New Sequence. You wold have to deal with the black spacing.

Best workflow between Premiere and Encore for subtitling...

Hello All,
I switched from FCP and DVDS Pro to Premiere and Encore but having trouble to get the same workflow for the type of work we do here,
We deal with lots of foreign films that will be distributed on DVDs and streamed via places like Xbox, PSN and such.
We tried by starting by laying the final edit of the film in Premiere and placing subs. We found out that there was no easy way to export the video track as an stl or compatible format so we outputted the film and used subrip to create an srt which worked ok when we brought it over to DVDSP but subrip always generates lots of bad text which has to be manually fixed. I than decided lets try Encore cause it must be more compatible with Premiere for transferring info between the two but have not found a good way to do this yet.
What would be the best work flow between the two programs so you can create a DVD with subs and also have movie with a sub track that can be outputted for VOD besides having to do the work twice? I am sure many production houses have this need.
Thank you all for reading and look forward to some ideas. We are using CS6.
-john

To the best of my knowledge, you will have to use a non-Adobe app for creating the subtitle file. Once created, you'd bring that into Encore for disk creation. I'm not sure you can create a file for VOD with subtitles using Adobe tools. Encore can create Flash output, but that's probably not the best choice here.

Flat File-to-RFC question, multiple RFC calls for one file.

Hi guys,
I'm quite new to XI / PI and I have a question regarding a File-to-RFC scenario we're trying in NW PI 7.1.
We have a flat file which has two lines with two fields each, let's take this as an example :
001,001
002,002
The files needs to be converted to XML and then transferred to the RFC program which will update a table with the values above.
In the ESR I've created 3 data types (z_row1,z_record1 and z_fileinput1), 1 message type (z_file2rfc_ob_mt), 1 message mapping (z_file2rfc_mm), 2 Service Interface (z_file2rfc_ob_si and z_file2rfc_ib_ztestpi) and 1 operation mapping (z_file2rfc_om).
In the Integration Builder (ID) I've created everything required (The sender and receiver communication channels, sender and receiver agreement, receiver determination and interface mapping).
We're also using content conversion to convert the flat file to XML, this does seem to work because I see all the lines/field in the message when it gets into PI. The problem is that the RFC can only accept two fields at a time and only the first line gets updated. I see that only the first line gets sent to the RFC.
How can I make the RFC call for each and every line ?
Thanks !!

Create the RFC with table, which takes multiple lineitem as input and update the table in single call.
If you want response back then call RFC as synchrounous else in Asynchrounous mode.
By doing this in single call it will update the complete table.

Dataset error on MAC for linked file

Hello all,
I am trying to make use of Variables panel in Illustrator CS6 Mac version. I added a Path variable. Then placed an image in the document and added a variable for the link file. Created two datasets with default names. Then when I try to switch between two datasets it gives me error "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error".
On PC it works fine on Mac why the Variable palette is not working. Am I missing anything here. If I just have Path or Text Variables it works fine.
Please do let me know.
Thanks all in Advance.

Hi Laura,
If you are using SBO 2004 you should not be using this method of loading the srf form (Loadbatch actions is for SBO 6.5). Here is code in VB .Net the load it - you can convert it (I don't have it in c#).
Private Sub btnXMLForm67_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnXMLForm67.Click
Dim oXMLDoc As New System.Xml.XmlDocument
Dim xmlData As String = "C:\Training2004\Code\SBOTest\VideoStore\XMLForms\AddMovie.srf"
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        Dim creationPackage As SAPbouiCOM.FormCreationParams
        'Create the FormCreationParams object
        creationPackage = oAppObj.SBO_App.CreateObject( _
        SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_FormCreationParams)
        'Specify the parameters in the object
        creationPackage.UniqueID = "SOS_MyFormID"
        creationPackage.FormType = "60004"
        creationPackage.BorderStyle = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormBorderStyle.fbs_Fixed
        oXMLDoc.load(xmlData)
        'Just a sample for a XML string describing a form same as used for LoadBatchActions
        creationPackage.XmlData = oXMLDoc.InnerXml
        'Add the form to the SBO application
        Try
            oForm = oAppObj.SBO_App.Forms.AddEx(creationPackage)
        Catch ex As Exception
            Exit Sub
        End Try
        'Set the form title and visibility
        oForm.Title = oForm.Title & "-2004"
        oForm.Visible = True

Question about streaming h264 in flv file

I read an article at "
http://www.kaourantin.net/2007/08/what-just-happened-to-video-on-web_20.html"
which is a blog of an software engineer of Adobe, the author said
in this article that "...There are functional limits with the FLV
structure when streaming H.264 which we could not overcome without
a redesign of the file format..." and "...Specifically dealing with
sequence headers and enders is tricky with FLV streams...", does
anybody know what exactly the author mean? what is the "functional
limits"? how to "specifically dealing with sequence headers and
enders"? is it a way to solve the "functional limits"?
Thanks!

Hi, anybody help me?

QUestion about the Explorer for Data Files on Zen X

I would like to put some of my school document files and architectural drawings onto the Zen Xtra as a Hard Dri've, but do I need to install the CD that came with it before I can actually put files onto it's

Hey,
Unfortunately, the Zen does not show up as a dri've when you plug it into the computer (it's not just the xtra, the touch doesn't either), I understand the plight that you're going through. You will need to use the intallation disk to install Nomad Explorer because you can do a transfer like that. I shows up as an item in my computer, Once it finds the player there will be a music folder and a data folder, just open the data folder and drag and drop. Hope this hel
ps.
I have a school laptop where all my files are but unfortunately I don't have admin rights so I can't intall the software/drivers so I use my home network and cds as well as my flash dri've to move any new files over to my home desktop to transfer to my zen. It works well for a weekly backup, that sort of thing...Sorry but you'll have to use the install disk. As long as your an admin, no prob.
Wilco
Note: if you don't have the install disk visit Nomadworld.com and you can download Nomad ExplorerMessage Edited by wilco99 on 0-9-2005 09:54 PM

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.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

I have a passport external hard. previously, I used it on windows, then I changed my laptop to mac. Now, It's only read. How can I use it for copying files on it on mac? I don wanna use it on windows again.

If you're not going to use the drive on a Windows machine, you should use Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and format it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition (default):

Edit FLV files online

we need to develop a web application which can edit FLV files
online and save to the database . i.e we will need to add text
titles to flv files online .
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.
