I'm loving working in Storyline and seeing how the developers have anticipated so many issues that come up in development.
That said, I don't know if it's a bug, feature request, or what, but I noticed that in the Video Editor, when you click "Change Video", the dialog that comes up does not accept .flv as a filetype.
That doesn't make sense to me, as you can insert an .flv video from the main program.
Is this the intended behavior, or am I missing something?
Thanks for the post Some videos, such as SWFs, certain types of FLVs, and videos that have been embedded from a website (such as YouTube) are not editable in Storyline. You can learn more about editing video here.
My use case is, I have a lot of FLV videos to show. I'd like to create the first slide with the first video, set its alignment, stacking order, etc., and then just duplicate the slide, using the Movie Tools > Edit Video > Change Video feature. I could do so if my videos were any of the formats in the screenshot above, but not if they're FLV.
I can, of course, go into each slide and delete/re-insert/set properties, and that's what I ended up doing, but I'd rather have used this feature.
I believe they're not showing up in the Change Video window because it's a part of the Edit Video tool, so if Storyline determines that your videos aren't editable, they would be excluded. Do your FLVmovies have alpha channel transparency?
I have the exact same issue. I can edit my FLV videos as well. But I am not able to use the change video function. I am reusing a slide with multiple triggers attached to the video and would like to use the change video function so that I do not need to create the triggers again for each slide.
Hi StacyLeagh! I cannot find where Carlos ever submitted a case for his issue. Can you submit a case now so that our support team can have a look at this for you? Just let me know as I would like to follow along as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply (and the welcome!), Peter.
Edit Video does come up for my .flv video, but...
I get the File Open dialog, and...

So the question is, why no FLV?

Hi Carlos,

Nope, and the Edit Video tool works with my FLV (it's choppy in playback, but it works...).
Thanks for your attention and help, Peter
Hi Carlos,
We'd like to be able to take a closer look at what might be going on with your project/video. Are you able to send us your .story file?

Was their a resolution to this?
