Video editing inside flash player!? Is it in any way possible?

[Elz]

Yeah, my lovely employers here want me to make a web enabled video/audio editting app. I have to admit, it makes me cry a little. I'm assuming they'll want to save out the bloody thing as well once it's been editted. Can Flash or Flex or indeed any web technology at all handle this? Go on, just say no. I dare you!

help me :(

no

if by "editting" you mean cutting out a piece from a movie clip e.g. avi, mpg. mov... and turn it into an .flv clip, then Yes. Other than that, no.

tg: :p

iKnow, thanks for the reply! what I meant was pretty much what you said: Being able to slice a video file into various pieces, join different bits together to eliminate certain sections, cut down the video and so on, and then save it out (if it has to be an flv, then so be it), all within flash player. I really didn't think it possible, but hey what do I know!? I assume if it could do that with mpg, avi, mov etc and then save it out to flv, it would also be able to perform the same operations on an flv in the first case? That way at least if they have to save it out as flv, they can edit it again...
