It allows for individual frame editing, which is useful in animation and video post-production.","The Adobe Filmstrip format, with the file extension .flm, was developed by Adobe Systems for use in video editing. This format is particularly useful for animators and video editors who need to edit individual frames of a video sequence. Adobe Premiere is one of the few programs that can open and edit FLM files, as it was specifically designed to work with this format. Although not widely used today due to the advent of more advanced video formats, FLM files are still relevant in certain niche applications where detailed frame-by-frame editing is required.
