It makes no sense to remove a function that many designers use regularly. Please see how to include it again.

fix this problem asap, please.

Adobe / Ravi,

Flash has been a dead horse for a long time due to it's hardware (etc) resource-intensive methods, and any moving-content-intensive people have switched to videos in h.264 (or the growing attention to h.265). InDesign needs to stay relevant in the motion arena, so PLEASE figure this out and make sure that we have full placement and linkability characteristics (Place, Link, etc) for all technologies and platforms (MP4, MOV, YouTube, Vimeo, etc, etc, etc).

I specifically need this for a BIG client initiative where I am reflowing InDesign PDF's (and other document-related experiences in relation to web-motion content NOW!

Thanks,

No reason for this to be removed.

Please put "place video from url" option back again. This is an important feature for digital publishers. Very short-sighted of Adobe to simply remove this feature without consulting the community.

Crazy to take away something like this. Adobe should be striving to add more ways of using/sharing content. Indesign needs this. Please put it back.

It is used everywhere on the web why no more for indesign ???

Again Adobe is not so close to users…

Please find another way (other than flash) to add the "place video from url" option back again...This is a important feature for digital publishers...

We need this Feature back please.

I’m so disappointed. I trust Adobe... most of the time. PLEASE consider making sure the URL media option is found in your wonderful (in every other way) software! THANK YOU.

flash is not the only place this is used

Please bring back asap. Many of my digital designs include videos from my clients websites. Now I cannot add videos to their designs anymore.... will I be able to update videos on their standing artwork? Big headache!

Fix this! Very important.

eerrr is youtube usint flash ? Is there no other way that using flash like html 5 ???
How can you remove such a feature without proposed something else to replace it....

The indesign team is 2 or 3 people left, i saw that there were a big bug in script that was resolved after many months..... I don't like pple saying adobe is no more what it used to be, but things like that me me think that way....

Removing it outright was a poor choice. In fact, it feels like a very lazy decision. Video URLs aren't exclusive to Flash. Please reconsider a smarter alternative.

I dont see the problem, h264-Video is fully supported.

We want video from URL back NOW!

Used for other purposes apart from Flash

Definitely bad decision to remove this. I have used this tool often to keep my file size smaller.
