MAJOR MAJOR PROBLEM WITH ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD

Short Version: There is a major problem with Adobe Creative Cloud in particular, and with Adobe products in general.... This problem is bad enough that (1) I will most likely be CANCELING my Creative Cloud subscription, (2) will probably NO LONGER use Adobe products for PRODUCTION of anything in the future, and, (3) this all may inevitably lead to my DROPPING the entire "flipping the classroom project"

Long Version: I have taken a couple months break away from video editing only to come back to my Adobe Premiere CC to find out that .flv video format IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED as an IMPORTED FILE FORMAT. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY VIDEOS was using .flv to create Alpha channels (the "invisible" portion of the video). I would spend several hours creating the main file in Premiere... then export them over to After Effects and re-import them into Premier in the form of a .flv file with Alpha channel.... Then I would export the FINAL FILE FORMAT as a .flv with Alpha channel and MARKERS to be used in my Adobe Flash Professional files...

All of this assumed that Adobe would continue to support its native .flv files.

Apparently they are not.

Their are TWO BIG PROBLEMS right now:

(a) I no longer trust Adobe products. How can I plan on spending over 1000 hours of my time over the next two years, committing to use Adobe as my core workspace, when I can no longer trust them?  I will have to start from SCRATCH and RE-TRAIN myself using a more reliable set of products.

(b) Months ago I have already stopped focusing on the Flash "virtual labs" programming because continuation of the Flash format has been in doubt... Instead I focused on the VIDEO LECTURES because I figured I could, at worst, use Adobe Premiere to translate the videos into OTHER video formats (other than .flv) and then use them in OTHER WAYS.... Such as on YouTube, or, possibly, with HTML 5 programming that would be more user-friendly. HOWEVER, ALL OF MY ORIGINAL PREMIERE VIDEO FILES have been made (almost) worthless by this new update to discontinue importing .flv files. (ALL OF MY VIDEO FILES IMPORT .flv FILES INTO THEMSELVES).  It will now take me HOURS of work JUST to go BACK and transition my PREVIOUS files into non-Alpha channel files to be used on YouTube, etc. AND EVEN THEN, MOST OF MY FILES REQUIRE .flv for ALPHA CHANNELS so I would not be able to fix them in anycase! - Basically: ALL OF MY PREVIOUS WORK HAS BEEN DONE FOR NAUGHT.

Here is the link to the announcement from Adobe: FLV FILES WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO BE IMPORTED INTO ADOBE PREMIERE

Over 400 hours of work, wasted... and over $1300 of investment for naught.

Here is a link to a thread on the Adobe forums where I posted my disappointment with them.
