    This will be quick. We are having problems importing .flv files into our Adobe Premiere system. Whenever we import, the system crashes. We also try to take it into Media Encode and that crashes also. Is there a plug in we need or is there some kind of voodoo in the settings we need to fix. Thanks for your help.

    I am a complete noob with flash videos but since nobody responded yet, I thought I’d try:

    Flash files AFAIK may not necessarily be videos but vector-based drawings, animations, etc., i.e. not videos; possibly Pr and AME are having trouble with that. Have you tried converting the file to something else (mpeg) via Flash Pro, or as a test, uploading the file to YouTube to see if it understands it?

    Thanks Alex I appreciate it. I think we may have gotten a corrupt file. We were sent 4 files 3 of which worked but the fourth caused us to crash the system. I will try your ideas. thanks for taking the time to respond have a good one.

    Strange – since Flash is already Adobe, why the problem to import into PP-CS5? My video file is identified as net.flv, and will definitely not import to CS5, but plays fine in Adobe Flash Player.

    I wish to edit-shorten the 2-hr event for my use here, but CS5 tells me it is an unknown file type.
