Hello,
Is it possible to export a short video clip to swf (flash) format ?
If yes, then how to do it ?
Found only a gif codec.
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I think it is now considered a sin against humanity to create more Flash videos. 
Anyways, it is possible in Shotcut:
- Format = swf
- Codec > Codec = Default for format
- Codec > B frames = 0
- Audio > Sample rate = 44100
- Audio > Codec = Default for format
That worked for me. If it does not for you, then view the failed export job’s log and read the reason why. That is what I had to do to learn to change B frames and audio sample rate.

Hello and thanks again,
Following my previous question, tried to export some swf files, most of them played well.
Just for curiousity, opened one log file (of a good swf file) and managed to copy this:
Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 1. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly
(what and where to fix, or, if good, leave it as is?)
Encoder did not produce proper pts, making some up.

Can I please have some explanations about the above ?
Note: System’s date and time OK.
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

I don’t know the explanation but it’s not related to the swf, I see those very often, and I export .mp4, I assume the ffmpeg doesn’t like something received from shotcut project.
