Good idea Steve, I’ll definitely tie them together somehow. 🙂

I’ll likely end up animating the range offset and scale to keep it all in one text layer.

Found out the issue. My flv file was fine, the swf being authored (made by someone else) was being given too much buffer time. I figured it was a pre-load issue within the swf file, they probably had the swf file on a fixed percentage instead of an adaptive setting.
Just in case this helps someone else. 😛

Isn’t it the swf file and the server that governs how quickly the file starts playing? How well it streams is up to the flv file of course but as to how it’s initially loaded, isn’t that up to the server and swf file and their settings and capabilities?
The only streaming options I can find in the flv options in my sorenson are those related to the “truecast” products, which to my understanding is an on2 product (I’m using the on2’s vp6 codec within the flv file).

The fps is not the issue. My bitrate, file size is good. Is there anything in the swf or on the server that would make it load slow regardless of how the flv was made?

They look great, Rich! I can’t get mine to load nearly that fast and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I think I am encoding them at 30 fps, maybe that’s the issue. My 45 second file is 3.5 MB but somebody else made a 5 MB file and it’s loading way faster than mine is, in 1-2 seconds like yours as opposed to 9-11 seconds with mine. After the 9 to 11 seconds of load the file plays fine with no glitches – it’s like there’s some sort of load variable that’s not being set but I’ve turned everything to 0 and 1 second in my settings and it seems to make no difference. The resolution is the same and the bit rate is real close if not the same. The fps is the only thing that may be different.
Are you running any sort of true cast or media cast on your server to make your flv files load faster?

You may need to download a freebie flv player, you have a lot of choices. I use Riva I believe.

When I read the first part of your message it sounded like it could’ve been a heat-related issue but the last part of your message makes it sound like a black magic driver issue. Maybe you could try re-installing the black magic drivers? It sounds like the hardware isn’t resetting properly after that particular function but that’s just a guess from a non-BM user. 🙂 Could it be a reference (sync) issue since you’re using analog equipment?
