Are there any programs for Ubuntu 13.04 that allow the user to edit the metadata of FLV videos? I would prefer a graphical user interface. Command-lines are fine if that is all that exists.

flvmeta is a command line tool available for Windows, Mac and Linux that can add metadata (in the form of a string) to flv files
Basic usage:
flvmeta --add=NAME=VALUE inputfile.flv outputfile.flv
(replace NAME and VALUE with your values)
You can check whether the metadata has been added by running
flvmeta -m outputfile.flv
Please note that flvmeta 1.1.0 at least is needed for this to work, while the version packaged for Ubuntu 13.04 is an old release, v1.0.11.

If I check the metadata through my file manager (Nautilus), the added metadata does not appear. May 14, 2013 at 12:25

Try those same commands without the preceding "./" . I've got it working on Ubuntu 12.04. If your problems are actual bugs then you'll have to submit a bug report May 14, 2013 at 14:47

Clearly, something is wrong on my system if other are successfully using flvmeta. As a result, I will mark hellocatfood's answer as the best. May 14, 2013 at 23:09

Sorry that I couldn't help you get a completely functional version. I'll be upgrading my Ubuntu soon so can check if it still works May 15, 2013 at 22:45
PiTiVi - allows users to easily edit audio/video projects based on the GStreamer framework. PiTIVi provides several ways of creating and modifying a timeline. Ranging from a simple synopsis view (a-la iMovie) to the full-blown editing view (aka Complex View) which puts you in complete control of your editing.
For install it from a terminal, use next command:
sudo apt-get install pitivi

3This seems like a canned response that doesn't actually address the original posters' needs. They want an FLV metadata editor, not a video editor May 13, 2013 at 16:23
