    Kglad, your answers aren't that helpful. I've got the same issue, and deleting my App Data/command and preferences are not on the table since it's a lot of commands and preferences that (despite saving work and hotkey preferences and placing everything back into a place and importing preferences/hotkeys after a fresh install does not actually work.) are too important and time consuming to fix

    what preferences do I have to specifically change in order to import and have an FLV video in my timeline and not get a black screen?

    you start with an actionscript 3 project, correct?

     

    if so, and you can't successfully import any flv into your timeline, reset your prefences:
