Created attachment 182908 [details] The swf example file and flatpak logs when launched via konsole *** If you're not sure this is actually a bug, instead post about it at https://discuss.kde.org If you're reporting a crash, attach a backtrace with debug symbols; see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports Please remove this comment after reading and before submitting - thanks! *** SUMMARY Sometimes I still like to use Macromedia Flash 8 for nostalgia reasons, but I'm sure this issue applies to anyone using CS3->CS6 as well. If you click to import a video clip or image sequence, and select filter to "All supported files", the swf file will show up. Yet it prints back "cannot open [filepath].swf" I've tested this on Microsoft Windows build, the GNU/Linux appimage as well as the Flatpak build. All 3 give the same results. I'll attach here a zip file containing the swf example which is just a simple motion tween and the log if there is anything of value in it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click "Add clip or folder" button 2. Go to the directory where the swf file is located. 3. Double click it. 4. See resulting message. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT The .swf file was imported and I can use the video contents in kdnelive SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 macOS: N/A (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Flatpak and AppImage KDE Plasma Version: N/A KDE Frameworks Version: N/A Qt Version: N/A ADDITIONAL INFORMATION None that I know of.
swf support comes from FFmpeg. Unfortunately, only some swf files are supported. For example this one works: https://filesamples.com/samples/video/swf/sample_640x360.swf I think some swf files contain audio/video streams readable by FFmpeg, some do not. Nothing we can do here, sorry.
