FLV to AE
Hi,
I’m planning on getting cs4 when it’s released and have a question about importing FLV files into AE. (I’m animating a cartoon in flash and would like to do sfx in ae and have total flexibility in editing in ae.)
If I import them, will they open with everything intact (layers, keyframes, filters, alpha)? If not, will they open as a single combined file (a la swf?)
Thanks!

oops–meant to say FLA into AE.
Is there a way to import into cs4 AE maintaining layers? Or will it always be a single file with all the elements compressed together?

In case anyone’s interested, I posted this in another forum and got a couple of interesting replies.
In CS4, Flash (and AE) will be able to export using XFL, which is basically a container with layers, similiar to FLA’s.
Can’t wait for CS4 to experiment with this.MacPro Dual Core 2.66, 5 gigs ram, some spit and a dream….

Just saw your posts. Thanks for the update. Flash users and AE users wanting to create web assets will find things a lot easier with CS4.

Thanks, Roland.
I did notice, though, in the cs4 help section that AE doesn’t read audio from XFL files. Is there (or will there) be a work-around for this (aside from independently importing audio?)
Also, I’ve been experimenting with importing SWF files from flash into AE and they won’t play audio either (the swf play audio as standalone files.) Any tips on how to get them to do that? (I’m running tiger 10.4.11 and quicktime 7.5.5)
Thanks!
