Flash Video (flv) has become the default video format on the web and almost every video sharing site uses FLV to stream videos online, such as YouTube, Myspace, blog TV, etc. Watching videos in an FLV player is quite interesting, but you can do so many other things, such as split FLV videos into multiple clips, merge several videos into one, trim the introductory part, convert FLV videos to other formats, etc.

However, FLV files create a kind of unique video editing challenge not readily solved by just opening the files in your favorite video editing application. The FLV format isn't supported by most video editing tools. Fortunately, I have experienced one FLV editor, named Mac FLV editor, is an easy-to-handle tools with powerful functions. Here I would like to share how to edit FLV video on Mac with all of you.
