Importing Macromedia Flash Video files

The Macromedia Flash Video (FLV) file format lets you import or export a static video stream with encoded audio. This format is intended for use with communications applications, such as video conferencing.

Files in the FLV format are compressed with the Sorensen codec. See About the Sorenson Spark codec.

You can import files in the FLV format using the Import or Import to Library commands or the Import button in the Embedded Video Properties dialog box.

To import a video clip in FLV format, do one of the following:

| Choose File > Import or File > Import to Library.
| Select any existing video clip in the Library panel and choose Properties from the Library options menu. In the Embedded Video Properties dialog box, click Import. Locate the file you want to import and click Open in the Open dialog box.
