I’ve been using flv’s for a while, and normally when a client wants a change in the flv (ie: slower or faster) I have to go into the AE file I created it in, and time-stretch all the compositions in question (which can get to a large number).

Does anyone have any idea wether it’s possible to shorten/lengthen the play time of an FLV that is embedded to the timeline? for example , taking a 1second flv and shortening it to .30seconds.

Thanks.
