Exporting in a Different Frame?

Hello,
I am using Flash CS3, and creating a game in AS2. Is there a way I can make a movieclip export in another frame other than 1st? Such as frame 3? I had to uncheck all of the movieclips exporting in frame 1, but now they don't work. Is it possible to export them in Frame 3?
MrA615.

What frame and layer must the actionscript be in be in? Because I keep on getting the undefined text in the output.
Here's a screenshot. Does the movieclip have to be on the stage and same layer to be run by this?

Exporting at a certain frame rate....

I have a 1080 sequence at 23.98fps. I am trying to export Animation MOVs. When I export I get different frame rated almost everytime. I have set the export setting to export at current frame rate. I have even gone into custom frame rate and set it up for a custom frame rate and manually set it for 23.98.
Why am I having this problem?

Please give the exact item properties of the clips you're editing and the exact item properties of the sequence in which you're editing.

Help with sequence settings in final cut for project with 2 different frame rates.

I really need help with this one! I finished editing a wedding video and realized after exporting that it was filmed in two different frame rates. This has happened before but I converted the footage to match and fixed the problem. In this case, the footage is part 30fps and part 60fps. The majority of it was filmed in 30fps. I cannot convert the 60 to 30 without the slow motion effect which I do not need so I have to find a way to burn this to a DVD without it looking messed up! The video was shot with two Canon 7ds if that helps anything. The first sequence I set at 29.97 and exported as a quicktime movie and all the footage filmed in 60 looked perfect and the footage in 30 looked jittery. Then I tried the sequence at 59.97 and it switched. The footage filmed at 30 looked good and the 60 was cropped in. I am so confused! Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks for your help Michael! The frame rates are 29.97 1920 x 1080 and 59.94 1280 x 720. I did a control click on the clips in final cut and viewed the item properties/format to find this info. The Canon 7d is a DSLR but we use it for video. As for my workflow, the first thing I do is import the footage onto my computer and then drag the clips into mpeg streamclip. I choose apple prores 422 and uncheck the interlaced box. Once this is done I import the .mov files into final cut. The sequence automatically sets itself to whatever clip I drag in first so it originally set as 29.97. When I finished editing wedding video, I export it to a quicktime movie and choose whatever settings match the sequence, in this case apple prores 422 1920 x 1080 30p. Once that is done I use iDVD to burn the discs.
I knew something was wrong when I watched the quicktime movie and all the 30fps footage was jittery and most of the cross dissolves looked strange. That's when I figured out the footage was at two different frame rates. What I don't understand is why whatever the sequence is set at in final cut, the clips of the opposite frame rate look right but the clips set at the matching frame rate don't???

Exporting library assets to frame 1 causes delay

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, just trying to puzzle something out.
I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript.
BUT - When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded. The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete.
Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
Any advice, thoughts, ideas (sample code?) would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,

**Edit follows**
OK, so after a little more research, I have basically answered this question for myself. I'm updating the post for the benefit of others who may find themselves in my shoes somewhere down the road.
The solution (as far as I can see) is to pretty much just avoid using the "Export for Actionscript" option for exporting assets to the timeline, as much as possible. Maybe it's fine for a few small assets, but not the best choice for large stuff, which in my case was the lions' share of the content!!
Or at least don't use the default setting of exporting to frame one!! This will likely foul up ANY preloader, because essentially Flash player will not display any of the content on frame one until ALL of the content on that frame has fully downloaded - You'll be stuck staring at an empty stage for ages, then when the preloader finally does show up on the stage and run, it will zip by in an instant while (probably) doing its job properly, but it's really only updating on the load progress of the balance of the SWF file.
The info I found suggested one easy method of making the assets available to Actionscript -- simply just place all of the required library assets into some unseen frame in the timeline, shortly AFTER your preloader runs. Then Flash Player will load them after the preloader has done its thing, and they will be available to be accessed by Actionscript later in the timeline when you really need them.
Also FYI -- I also tried changing the export settings to have Flash export the assets in question in frame four instead of frame one, with the unfortunate and unexpected result that my published SWF began skipping playback directly to frame four, which also effectively killed my preloader (which was running in frames two and three.) This glitch remained, even after reverting the export setting back to export the assets in frame one!! It seems like my .FLA file was irreversibly altered (contaminated??) by changing the export frame setting?!? Yikes!!
Luckily I had an earlier version saved under a different file name, it was relatively easy to go back to that version and bring it up to date.
Anyway - that's all for now. Hope this info can help someone else....

Different frame rate encoding on tape (24p & 24pa)

Hi,
I usually record to tape with my dvx100 using 24pa, but sometimes the quick setup dial was switched accidentally resulting in a different frame encoding, like 24p for example.
Everything is recorded in 29.97fps on mini-dv, we all know that, making apparently no difference b/w 24p and 24pa.
But of course, when i'm trying to capture this footage through FCP, i can't always remove the advanced pulldown because there's a few clips that have been recorded with 24p instead of 24pa.
Questions:
- How can you detect the different encoding on tape, whether it's 24p or 24pa?
- Can you get FCP to create a new clip (at least stop) the capture for those sections of the tape where I have something different than 24pa?
- If nothing like that is possible, how do you solve this problem?
Thanks!

the only pulldown pattern that FCP can remove at capture is 24pA (3:2:2:3). Standard 3:2 pulldown can only be reversed using cinema tools. If you open the clip in cinema tools, you'll need to park the playhead on the first frame of the pulldown cadence for it to correctly remove the pulldown. This will create new copies of your clips, which will take up a corresponding amount of space. There is no way for either FCP or CT to reconize the pulldown cadence of standard 3:2 clips, so you'll have to manually find the A frame of the cadence. If you have a huge number of them to do, you may find it quicker to place each clip in a sequence where you can put the A frame of the cadence as the first frame in the sequence. Export these as a batch of reference movies, and you should be able to do a batch inverse telecine on them in Cinema Tools.
These new clips will no longer match the timecode of your tapes, so if you remove the original 29.97 media, you should at least keep the offline 29.97 clips in your project in case you need to recapture.
Hope this helps -

Two timecode stripes at different frame rates? (and other BITC stuff)

I'm not an FCP user, but I'm working with an editor who's not that up on the finer points of FCP operation. Would like to know if certain things are possible...
1a. Is it possible for FCP to simultaneously output a QT file with two different BITC stripes running at different frame rates (say, 29.97 fps and 23.976fps)? Or...
1b. For an already BITC'd work print (striped with 23.976 timecode) is it possible to add a second stripe at 29.97 fps, synchronized from the 1-hour mark (first frame of picture)?
2. Are there any parameters available in FCP to adjust the size of the numbers and the position of a timecode stripe?
3. BONUS QUESTION: what does the "R" in "TCR" mean? (just curious -- I've seen this for years but never knew what the "R" stood for).
Message was edited by: iSchwartz

iSchwarz!
Welcome to the visual side of things. Never thought I'd see you venture out of Soundtrack Pro and Logic land, glad to see you here.
3. R stand for Reader. TimeCodeReader. G will stand for Generator. TimeCodeGenerator
2. You mean adjust the TCR window? If you drop the filter on a clip, load that clip into the viewer, you can adjust the filter parameters there.
1b. BITC? There are 2 type of timecode that I'm aware of: VTC (or ViTC)(Vertical Interval Timecode) and LTC (Longitudinal Timecode). I seriously doubt this as then FCP would have to use to different timebases within the same sequence.
1a. Again, I seriously doubt this do to the different timebases.
You could print to tape this 23.976 fps sequence which FCP would add the pulldown resulting in 29.97 fps timecode and then import that. Or, maybe Compressor can add the pulldown and export a file wtih 29.97 fps timecode. Don't know, never needed to try that.
Good luck, report back with your findings.

I am trying to export a video I have made in FCP 10.0.8 to Youtube or to a master file and I keep on getting an error -50, or "error exporting master file at frame 20074" Any ideas?

Having used FCExpress for a while I decided to give FC Pro X a trial, I created my first video with it, exported to youtube and it worked fine. I am now trying to export my second video to youtube and I get an error -50 which means absolutely nothing. Not being defeated that easy I tried exporting to a mster file using the H.264 codec and I get an error "exporting master file at frame 20074" - again another useless error. It takes at least 10 minutes to get to this error after the rendering has started, it gets about 12% in. Any ideas where to start - I am seriously at the point of giving up with Final Cut Pro X simply on the basis of it being more trouble than its worth - I am just glad I did not pay for it yet...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Gerry

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry

Re-connecting media to different frame rate clip

Hi guys,
Wondering whether anyone can help me out to solve an error I've made...
So, I've basically completed an edit (some episodes on Final Cut Pro X, some on Final Cut 7) only to find out that I'd transcoded the media at the incorrect frame rate, 23.98 instead of 25fps. Yup, pretty big error. And now I need to redeliver the projects in the 25fps format.
I've transcoded a clip to the correct 25fps rate and tried to reconnect that clip to the 23.98fps one in the timeline, but I'm unable to reconnect as the clips are of differing frame rates.
Has anyone got any ideas how I can reconnect the clips or any suggestions that will make this situation easier to rectify rather than copying out the entire edit which will cause me to spend a week crying into my keyboard.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Olly

Hmmm...
Tried this but it brings in the media that is 23.98 and there's no way I can tell to link to the new 25fps clips. Unless there's anything else I can do? Any other way to match the clips? (the 25fps clips are that little bit longer in duration) I also have some edits in fcp7. By using cinema tools in that would I be able to change the frame rates and link up to the new 25fps?
Cheers for the advice though Russ, this way does give me the template of the 23.98 edit so that I can match the new 25fps shots to, but it's gonna be a long process.

Relink project clips with different frame rate

Somehow the clips in my project sequence ended up with a different frame rate (25) than the original media files (23.95), and they are no longer linked -- maybe this happened during import from iMovie. When I try to relink project files to source media, I get an error message saying they cannot be relinked because they have a different frame rate. I changed the sequence framerate to 23.95 (by creating a new project with 23.95 as the frame rate, then copying and pasting the other timeline into it), but all the clips remain at 25, so the problem remains.
How can I change the clip properties to frame rate 23.95 so I can link to the original media?
Thanks.

The media got unlinked importing the project and events from iMovie to Final Cut.
I've attached screen shots with all the specs.

Creating new buttons on different frame labels

can someone tell me if im doing something wrong or assigning
the as to the wrong frame?
first off i have all my buttons on frame 2. im creating a
real estate site and i have to have a couple links like HOME ABOUT
BUYING SELLING CONTACT, the thing though is that in the BUYING and
SELLING frames i want to add more sections and links but only on
these 2 other parts of my site. when i code it and add new buttons
to these sections though my movie plays over and over and over non
stop. heres my coding...
FRAME 1 preloader
Frame 2 has a frame label of home and all the buttons on a
diff layer, and AS3 on a different layer
Frame 3 has a frame label for about section
Frame 4 is my contact for example
so if i create a new button in the about frame label and just
add the code to the working as3 code on frame 2 my movie just plays
over and over and over again, and all i want it do do is act like
the other buttons and go to a different frame label down in the
time line. the only way i get it to work is if i have ALL my
buttons on frame 2.
frame 1
my preloader
frame2
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHome)
function onHome(event.MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("home");
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAbout)
function onAbout(event.MouseEvent):void
gotoAndStop("about");
etc....
etc...
i enter my btn code just like this and the buttons on frame 2
work but any new buttons i try and creat and put into different
frames othere then frame label "home" aka frame 2 wont work

correct.
there are lots of ways around it. but they all require the
object to exist when the code executes.
with as3 it's particularly easy to create objects, code for
them and then add them to the display list later when
needed.

Different frame rate in movie mode? iPhone 4

I noticed that my iPhone shoots video clips with different frame rate from time to time. I suppose it slows frame rate on dark shots. For now all of my daylight shots are 30 fps, while night or dark ones are 25 and 24. This makes it hard to edit clips in iMovie for example, because difference in frame rate causes strobe motion effect on output.
!http://pics.livejournal.com/brain_away/pic/000040rc!
!http://pics.livejournal.com/brain_away/pic/00003s3c!
Anybody have the same?
For reliable results I would suggest to shoot two clips: one in sunny daylight conditions, another with ordinary room lightning, maybe a little darker than normal.
Please let me know of the results. Thanks

Doesn't seem to be just a Quicktime bug:

How can I interact between two different frames in the same indesign template as well as from one template to another.

I am looking for the best way (or any way) to interact between two different frames in the same indesign template as well as from one template to another. It's for a DPS app which needs to carry some button initiated data from one page to another and then present it in a table.

There is no simple way to do it, as itunes wont let you use it on another computer without wiping the contents first.
However if you really want to transfer songs to another computer then you could try this;
* make sure that your ipod is accessible as a disk drive (ipod options)
* when you plug your ipod into the computer you want to transfer to make sure you select "no" or "cancel" when it asks to wipe the contents. Leave the ipod connected and quit from itunes.
* go to "my computer" and access the ipod directly. You probably have to select "view hidden files" from windows. You will see a lot of folders with odd names like ZX838aff with similar named files inside.
* copy these files to a folder on your computers hardrive. Now remove the ipod and start itunes.
* import the files from the folder you made in the last step.
* Now your music is on itunes, but with unrecogisable names.
This is the only way I have found to do it, but there may be another way, say with an application to do the hard work for you.

How to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames?

I do not have much experience on Adobe Flash or Action Script 3, but I know the basics.
I am Arabic language teacher, and I design an application to teach Arabic, I just would like to learn how to load and unload more than one external swf files in different frames.
Thanks

Look into using the Loader class to load the swf files. If you want to have it happen in different frames then you can put the code into the different frames.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How to restore a single table from a DP Export from a different schema?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris
I was looking at the documentation on DP Import trying to find the correct syntax to import a single table from a DP Export of a different schema.
So, I want to load table USER1.TABLE1 into USER2.TABLE1 from a DP Export.
Looking at the REMAP_TABLE options:
REMAP_TABLE=[schema.]old_tablename[.partition]:new_tablename
OR
REMAP_TABLE=[schema.]old_tablename[:partition]:new_tablenameI can't see where to specify the target schema name. The examples had the new table name residing in the same schema with just a new name.
I looked at the REMAP_SCHEMA but the docs say that will import the entire schema into the new schema and I only want one (1) table.
Any suggestions are most welcome!
-gary

I thought I tried that combination and it seemed to me that the REMAP_SCHEMA somehow over-rode the TABLES= parameter >and started loading all the objects.If it does fail (and it should not) then please post the details here and I will try to see what is happening.
Let me get back into the sandbox and try it again. I admit I was in a bit of a hurry when I did it the first time.We are all in a hurry, no worries. If it fails, please post the details and the log file.
Does it make any sense that one parameter would override another?No, this should never happen. We have tons of checks to make sure the job can't have multiple meanings. For example, you can't say
full=y schemas=foo --- Which do you want, a full export or a list of schema exports, etc.
Your suggestion was the first thing I thought would work.This should work. If not, please post the log file with the command and the results.
Dean
Thanks again for the help and stay tuned for my new attempt.
