Does speed edit let you load flash files onto the timeline?

or swf?

[John Perkins]

No, but I have come across this that you might try out if you are adventurous.

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Flash_Video_Splitter.htm

You would need this splitter, the decoder and FFDshow installed on the system.

The page tells you this much at least and gives links to each.

I haven't tried it yet, but it's worth a look.

I thought SE allowed you to import/export Flash files?

FWIW, in many/most cases, you can load .swf files into Aura or Mirage courtesy of Quicktime. The files can then be saved in any of the common bitmao formats for loading into SE or VT-E.

As opposed to Elaine's make believe boyfriend, who was concentrating on more importing and exporting of chips, SE only exports flv. No importing.

Just in case your not reading in between the lines, those who are not VT/Aura, or Mirage owners Quicktime Pro is an option for getting Flash files into SE, which is a fairly inexpensive option.

Not sure that was between the lines...

Which way do you mean it? Do you mean using QT Pro to convert the Flash to a format SE can read first?

Cause AFAIK, SpeedEDIT will not use any abilities of QT Pro, if you happen to have it installed. SpeedEDIT works with QT, but not via QT Pro. If it could, I would be able to encode to H.264, which I can't.

I think he meant that you could convert to an avi or QT with QTpro...so that SE could then use the flash video..

I hope in the near Future that NT will add in support for QT 7...thus allowing more options and h.264, etc...

For those who didn't know SE really only supports the codecs of QT 6...NOT QT 7

Happy New Years All ;)

Yes thats is the method I was reffering to. Not the most elegant of solutions but If you dont own a VT or Mirage, QuickTime Pro is only $30. With it you could at least get your flash file into SpeedEdit. Then you can save your edited video as a .FLV with SpeedEdit, and take that file back into flash.

I've not been able to open .flv in QT Pro 7, at least not the On2 VP6 codec (I don't use Sorenson).
How do you get that to work?

[Silkrooster]

I haven't tried Sorenson yet, but the flv's with On2 VP6 it won't load. Including embedded swf's. Normal swf will load though.
