Why Does Flash (SWF) Get Corrupted When Imported?

fwhilton Jul 1, 2012 4:57 AM

Hello,

Specs...

Windows 7

10 Gigs Ram

Quad Core AMD Chip

The biggest reason I joined the cloud was to use Premiere Pro so that I could import SWF files.

In Premeire Elements 10 I could import an SWF perfectly well, even animted swf's

However, in PPro CS6, When I import it, it actually corrupts the file so that not all the objects display.

And this is how I proved it...

1) Created the SWF in FlashPro CS6

2) View SWF from within Windows Explorer... works perfectly!!

3) Made a COPY of the created SWF

4) Imported the original SWF into PPro CS6... not all objects show in the Monitor

5) I go back into Windows Explore and view SWF... and sure enough... some of the objects don't show up.

6) I view the COPY of the swf in Windows Explorer I made... AND ALL IS FINE

7) For good measure, I import the SWF into Elements... and it doesn't work either!!

And to kick myself in the head even more...

Before I joined the cloud... Flash SWF's worked perfectly in a trial version of PPro CS6.

Very dissapointed none the least.

What is with that?

I don't get it.

What is wrong with the import of SWF into PPro CS6

Do you have the Write XMP ID To Files On Import preference enabled? If so, disable it, and then try again.

I did uncheck both boxes on the Preference, but it didn't work at first.

But, then I shut PPro down and tried again.
I had to resave the SWF from Flash and then reimport it... AND IT WORKS!!.

So, why is the XMP corrupting the SWF file?

To give you an idea... say I had two squares. One would show an the other wouldn't or none at all.
Weird.

Thanks for your help!!

The XMP ID is a piece of metadata written into the file to identify it. Apparently, it is being injected in a way that damages the SWF file.

Please submit a bug report here so that the Premiere Pro engineers know that this has impacted you:

I was having the same problem. I disabled the XMP ID and the file is no longer being corrupted. However, the .swf file won't play at all. My sequence is just black. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I have the same problem. I have a SWF file that I try to Import to Premier Pro CS5. When it imports it only shows it as being 1 second long and there's nothing to playback despite the SWF file playing fine and being over 28 seconds long? I imported the audio separately and it's fine. I've tried the above and it's still not working. How come?
