I have spend OVER 400 HOURS and $1,300 of my own time and money using Adobe Creative Cloud products to "flip my Physics classroom".... I had been planning on spending much more time completing the process. The .flv format (because of the alpha channel, and use in Flash professional) has been a major backbone to this project.

I am very dissapointed in this decision to remove this much-used feature from Adobe Premiere. I have been using Adobe products for 12 years and will no longer continue to support them.

Any who decide to take the time to read my blog will notice what a favorable light I have been projecting upon Adobe. And now my project is most probably ended. I will also be cancelling my Creative Cloud subscription.

MrColby,

For many years, there was a Premiere Pro FLV Importer plug-in, from Moyea. However, with about PrPro CS 4 (cannot recall the exact version now, think that it was CS 4.2?), Adobe added FLV Import, with a few caveats, such as no Sorenson Spark. Moyea dropped development of that plug-in, and then Adobe drops support for FLV. Wonder if Moyea will update that plug-in for CC?

Some have speculated that Adobe made that change, to satisfy Mac-users, as Jobs had waged a war on Flash - not sure if there is any truth in that, or if it's just conspiricy theorists? We will likely never know.

Sorry that your workflow has been shattered. Does a roll-back look promising for you? I know that sort of defeats one of the big selling-points of CC - frequent upgrades, but might get you back in business.

Good luck,

Hunt

I know that having to transcode is unpleasant but it can be done for free by using the VLC media player...

In the newest version of VLC Media player the steps are...

Open VLC Media Player

Click Media > Convert / Save > Add

Select the file you want to convert

Click Convert / Save

Select the profile for the output file by clicking the pull down arrow in the profile box

Select the destination and name for the output file by typing the file name in the destination file box and clicking the browse button to select the location.

Click the start button.

I hope this helps someone.

Having the same issue. This is completely absurd that I would now have to transcode hundreds of flv lower thirds I've created... Adobe, I've had your back for 7 years, if After Effects can handle .flv (and Premiere has handled .flv) there is no reason to remove it.
