First 4 seconds of video weird behavior

New problem. Recorded a Keynote movie and exported to QT. The KN plays normally.
The QT audio starts but the video begins 4 seconds later. When I look only at the video it starts 4 sec. late. BUT when I drag the selector over the first 4 seconds the video is definitely there. It just doesn't play when I click PLAY.
Any ideas?

had to save as 30 fps to fix this.

  • FLV Playback repeats first second of video

    I'm having trouble fixing a problem with an flv playback issue. A main swf loads a child swf which preloads a movie. If the movie is preloading and you close the child swf with
         _global.lightBox = false;
         _global.nc.close();
         unloadMovieNum(2);
    The global variable lightBox is set to false so when the video is fully loaded it sees that lightBox is false and does not try to play. The global variable nc is the movie's netConnection. The problem occurs when you click to close the movie and then try to load the movie again. What happens is it stays on the preloader going from 1 to 99 over and over again while playing the first small bit of the movie's sound.
    I can give more information if needed, thank you for any help.
    Ed

    Have you tried using the MovieClipLoader class instead of unloadMovieNum?

  • Weird behavior in master-detail

    Dear Forum,
    I need to implement an application but I still have a halting error.
    I have this strange problem and I'll try to explain.
    I have this masterscreen with search functionality. When I do a search, I get a result. When I now enter the details screen of the second row of the search result and I change the fields on the details screen and do a commit, I get the message that the changes were made successfully, but I see the primary key jump to the value of the primary key from the details of the first row of the search results on the masterscreen.
    And when I look at the details of the first row, the changes were made in this details, and NOT in the details in which I needed to make the changes.
    And now more weird... I can only reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer and whatever I try, it works correct in Firefox.
    So the functionality should work as supposed, as it wouldn't work in Firefox.
    Has anyone encountered this problem before or does anyone has a solution or tip to get to the solution?
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Arjen

    Steven,
    When I tried to create the logs you requested, I ran up to a different problem, also affecting this behavior. When I repaired this, still the weird behavior took place in Internet Explorer. And in Firefox the problem was solved. So I tried to disable the cache in Internet Explorer. This solved the problem there as well..
    So this behavior doesn't happen anymore with the cache disabled, thus solved this problem.
    Thanks for the effort anyway.

  • URGENT Please help with weird behavior of test suite

    Hi All,
    I have a composite involving three operations of two different services. The weird behavior comes by the time on which I run the test suite on the EM, if I try to emulate two different operation response from one service, by the time that the flow, tries to emulate the second one, I always receive this error:
    part name="summary">
    <summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: javax.wsdl.WSDLException: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Error writing stream: java.io.IOException: Can only write attribute within a tag.: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Error writing stream: java.io.IOException: Can only write attribute within a tag.</summary>
    </part>
    On the other hand if I emulate two responses of the same operation it works.
    Does any one have any idea of how to deal with this kind of test? Which seems a very simple test.
    Best regards,

    1- I have a simple composite with two services and three invokes, all of the operations are two ways operations. Here´s the BPEL (Service1 Demandas, operation Actualizar; Service 2 Aviso, operations buscar, actualizar):

  • Constant spinning beach ball, other weird behaviors in Mail

    I have been using Mail for years without any problems. Now it gives me the spinning beach ball constantly during use. Could it be because of a recent switch from Verizon to Comcast? At first I thought it had something to do with retrieving messages, which seemed to interrupt message-writing or message-reading. So I set the pref to retrieve manually, but the beach ball continues to spin. It seems random, not related to any particular action, and occurs two or three times every time I use Mail. When the beach ball spins, Mail seems locked up. I also have noticed that sometimes there's a delay when the message headers are loading, and sometimes when I click to open a message, the box comes up empty for a few seconds, then the text flows in. All weird behaviors I have not seen before! Any advice? I tried rebuilding my inbox, but this seems to happen in various user-created mailboxes too -- not any single mailbox.

  • Premiere CS6 skips/does not play first second of vob file - while with vlc all fine

    Hello everyone!
    I am trying to edit vob files (after being ripped on hdd) and Premiere seems to skip the the first second in the media browser, source monitor etc. after import. When opened with vlc-player the vob file is just fine and the first (missing) second (part of a sentence) is there. So I tried to convert the vob file to an avi file with Adobe Media Encoder. Same thing the first second is missing in the avi file. Adobe Bridge - same thing. Same problem with other vob files.
    What can I do? Thank you very much for your kind help!
    Best, Michael
    System: Windows 7 (64) all updated. Master Collection CS6 all updated (Premiere Pro CS6 - 6.0.1 etc.)

    Michael,
    Is both the Audio and the Video missing from the VOB in PrPro?
    Is the Audio DD 5.1 SS in AC3?
    Though certainly not YOUR case, if your Audio is DD 5.1, then it is recommended to allow ~ 2.0 sec. of silence at the beginning of the Audio Stream, to allow the equipment to "lock onto" the signal. This most often happens with higher-end DVD/BD players - you are getting similar in PrPro, and not a high-end DVD/BD player.
    If you rip the DVD in Audition, or similar, does the entire Audio Stream show up, like it does in VLC player?
    One last question, regards your internal HDD, from which you are editing. Is it at least 7,200 RPM, or is it a 5,400 RPM drive?
    Good luck, and as should be obvious, I am just thinking out loud here.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • TLF 2/2.1/3 Weird behavior with floating graphics?

    Hi guys,
    I'm working on a chat application running on RED5 / AS3 and I'm struggling to get my client "UI" working perfectly.
    My problem is related to the TL Framework, on every version available.
    Basicly, I want to display a picture ( for user messages ) and icons ( for notifications ) on the left side of my lines, like this :
    So, I'v been messing around with "float=start", "float=left" and such, but i'm always encountering weird behaviors whenever I scroll or resize my containerController. It's quite easy to reproduce with the following code :
    public class Main extends Sprite
              private var controller:ContainerController;
              public function Main():void
                        if (stage) init();
                        else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
              private function init(e:Event = null):void
                        stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
                        stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
                        removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
                        var holder:Sprite = new Sprite();
                        addChild( holder );
                        var tFlow:TextFlow = new TextFlow();
                        for ( var i:int = 0; i < 50; i++ )
                             tFlow.addChild( createLine() );
                        controller = new ContainerController( holder, 400, stage.stageHeight  );
                        tFlow.flowComposer.addController( controller );
                        tFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
                        stage.addEventListener( Event.RESIZE, resizeController );
              private function resizeController( e:Event ):void
                        controller.setCompositionSize( 400, stage.stageHeight );
                        controller.textFlow.flowComposer.updateAllControllers();
              public function createLine( ):DivElement
                        var d:DivElement;
                        var p:ParagraphElement;
                        var im:InlineGraphicElement = new InlineGraphicElement();
                        im.source = new Bitmap( new BitmapData( 16, 16, true, 0x30FF0000 ) ); // 0x30 Alpha
                        im.float = "left";
                        d = new DivElement();
                        d.clearFloats = "both";
                        p = new ParagraphElement();
                        d.addChild( p );
                        p.addChild( im );
                        return d;
    Basicly, I'm stacking 50 transparent "floating" elements. It works fine most of time, but if I randomly resize my Flash Player Window, I can get the first "invisible" element to overlap the last "visible" :
    It seems to be happening right when the last "floating" element should disappear. Instead, it gets "over" the previous one. It happens upon container resize and scrolls. I'v encountered this issue on lastest 2, 2.1 and 3 TLF builds.
    Beside the visual "bug", it also screws up my container.getContentBounds().height calls - which can make scrolling "trembling", as the height gets reajusted.
    I'm running out of ideas about how to handle this. This bug appears whenever I use "floating" graphics and I can't think of any other way to display graphics on the left side of my chat-lines.
    Maybe someone ran into this very problem and figured out a way to make it work?
    Excuse my english, thanks in advance,
    Lionel.

    Thank you for your report. And I have found the root cause.
    In BaseCompose.as
    protected function composeFloat(elem:InlineGraphicElement, afterLine:Boolean):Boolean
    if (!floatFits && (_curParcel.fitAny || _curParcel.fitsInHeight(totalDepth, int(logicalFloatHeight))) && (!_curLine || _curLine.absoluteStart == floatPosition || afterLine))
                    floatFits = true;
    The condition of if is true, only when the weird behavior happens. We need to discuss about how to fix it.

  • After importing, first second of audio is not there

    Please help. Just purchased a new camer (Sony NX5U) and imported the mts files into Premiere. However the first second of each clip has no audio. The video is there but no sound at all. When I play the mts clips using Windows Media Player I hear the audio. Has anyone had similar problems?
    THanks in adavnce

    My experience so far (individual files/times have not been large) is that the MTS files from my Canon Vixia HFS100 are "individually complete" in that I just use WinExplorer to copy the files to my hard drive and everything is there for editing, so I have not had to even look at any Canon software
    Good that you figured out what needed to be done for your computer

  • CURSOR WEIRD BEHAVIOR

    i have created an anotation linst subvia which gets me out 1d array of 4 elements each representing a cursor to be seen on an xy graph at a later stage on the program.

    pretty weird behavior in my opinion.
    any ideas about what to do at this point.

  • Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?

    Is anybody else having their Adobe AIR iOS app crash within the first second of opening it?
    I am using iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3, with a development certificate.
    With Adobe AIR SDK 16.0.0.283 and now with 17.0.0.93, after compiling the app (whether in release mode or debug mode), before the app getTimer() can ever reach 999 milliseconds the app will crash. No matter what code I have, it is just crashing before the runtime can ever reach the first second.
    Anybody else having this kind of behavior?

    Chris,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. I have found the way to reproduce. It is about interfaces, and when I try to call a method through an interface the app crashes. I think that it is related to having an interface with many parameters. I have logged the bug here:

  • HELP! Sudden weird behavior in Aperture and MobileMe!

    So, I am running the latest version of Aperture and have been successfully publishing many albums to mobileme.
    I have several external hard drives connected to my computer, and almost all of my image files in aperture are referenced. Lately I have been importing the images from SD cards directly into the aperture library, editing, then relocating the masters so that i would only store the keepers (i went this route because it was unclear to me whether or not originals were also deleted if i deleted referenced files--the pop up wording seems vague to me). I usually back up the new image files on the harddrives manually, and then back up the aperture library to a vault after every major import. I also wait until I have done this to reformat my sd cards.
    Of course, this morning, something happened. We had a power outage, and although i have my entire system on UPS units, i had to shut everything down because the batteries only last so long. I did not have time to perform my usual Vault back up. I had a handful of projects with masters in the aperture library (not yet edited and masters relocated). There is one project I do not still have on sd card so that one (and inconvenience for the others) hangs in the balance.
    The situation is this: When I rebooted after our power outage (i reiterate that all hard drives as well as the main mac were shut down safely and properly on battery power), all referenced file projects appear normal, but I cannot see any images in the projects with masters stored in the aperture library. The weird part is that if i put the pointer over those projects, i do get the little balloon that tells me how many versions are in each project. It's like aperture knows they are there, but I don't see them. And another weird thing--the REJECTED images from these projects DO appear when I click on the Rejected Smart Album. And the starred images from those projects DO appear when I click on the one-star-or-better smart album. I don't get it.
    I also cannot see some of the mobileme galleries within aperture when i select them. When i went on-line to see my gallery, there is some weird behavior...some albums are acting strange, confusing images from other albums, or not accepting my username and password settings (I know they are right), or giving me a different album when I select one to look at.
    PLEASE HELP if you can. If I need to, I can always restart from my vault version of the library and reimport last week's stuff from the sd cards, but i'd rather not do that, not to mention there is that one project i will lose.
    I'm here waiting for anyone who thinks they can help!
    Thanks,
    Heather

    Hi Heather
    I was wondering if I was the only one with this problem. Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I'm running Aperture 2 on a MacBook, with my library on an external drive. The problem is increasing; it seems that most (but not all) recent projects are affected, but none that I created before the problem first started.

  • Visibility weird behavior after -Syu

    Hello
    I have been using visibility with openbox on my Arch 64 system for a long time and have been very pleased with both. I just did a full system update yesterday and have been experiencing a weird behavior on visibility ever since.
    Usually when I clicked on an application on a different desktop than mine I was transported to that desktop and the application was focused.
    Since the system update , whenever I click on an application on a different desktop, that application is moved to my current desktop. Meaning that if I actually clicked on every app running on every other desktop, they would all be moved to my current desktop. Weird and impractical if you ask me.
    I am suspecting it has something to do with an upgrade on openbox ? I checked whether some new option/setting was installed on the config file but didn't notice anything.
    Anyone else experiencing the same effect ?

    Maybe one can easily change the visibility code to do it right ?
    Problem is, i have NO knowlege about how this stuff works. Plus, i dont now c++
    But i browsed through the code and found a file called 'window.cc' with this code:
    bool Window::activate(void) {
    255 Server * server = Server::instance();
    256 XEvent event;
    257 long mask = SubstructureRedirectMask | SubstructureNotifyMask;
    258
    259 event.xclient.type = ClientMessage;
    260 event.xclient.serial = 0;
    261 event.xclient.send_event = True;
    262 event.xclient.display = server->display;
    263 event.xclient.window = drawable;
    264 event.xclient.message_type = server->net_active_window_atom;
    265
    266 event.xclient.format = 32;
    267 event.xclient.data.l[0] = 2;
    268 event.xclient.data.l[1] = 0;
    269 event.xclient.data.l[2] = 0;
    270 event.xclient.data.l[3] = 0;
    271 event.xclient.data.l[4] = 0;
    272
    273 if (XSendEvent(server->display, server->root_window, False, mask, &event)) {
    274 return true;
    275 }
    276 return false;
    277 }
    and in 'server.cc' i found this:
    28 // set up atoms
    29 net_active_window_atom = XInternAtom(display, "_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW", False);
    So what i think is, one need to change the 'Window::activate(void) ' function to first switch desktop and then activate the window.
    Maybe this is total nonsense ... i dont know

    I updated to latest version of Flash Player, 11.3.300.270 and now it plays only the first 5-10 seconds of video, no audio.  This happens on all websites an videos.  This is on windows XP32 and IE8 browser.

    I've actually experienced the same thing on a couple of Windows XP 32-bit computers of mine with all audio output devices disabled, and I have the latest version of Flash Player 11.3. Especially on youtube for example, you play a video for about 5-10 seconds with all audio output devices disabled, the video pauses automatically by itself and doesn't play further unless you move the seek bar/button.

  • Weird behavior in Classic or not?

    It has been a long time since I've needed to use Classic (on 10.4.something)  Today I needed to do something that could only be done in classic.  I thought I saw some weird behavior so I tried a couple of other classic apps.    All started Classic just fine, brought up their document window and menu bar.  But there was no classic desktop under the app's window and while the menu bar showed "finder" as an open application that could be switched to (the right-most menu item) but when I switched to it I got the OS X finder, not a OS 9 one.   Occasionally I can get what looks like a Finder menu bar, but that's on it are the Apple and Help and the app switcher.
    Recently I've been playing with Sheepshaver on a Snow Leopard system, which brings up an honest-to-goodness OS 9 desktop.
    Now, I am misremembering how Classic works (in effect, no desktop and no finder) or is something wrong.  I checked all three of my systems running Tiger and they have the same behavior.   (A G4 -- that will still boot into OS 9, a powerbook G4, and a mac-mini.)

    OK, I found an article on rebuilding the desktop and it indicated that while there is a file for the OS9 desktop, in the classic environment it is invisible and can only be found through an alias that is created on the OS X desktop.  I suspect I've deleted that alias since I didn't have any particular need for it.   The article tells you how to re-create the alias from the terminal.  indeed there is a folder there and it is empty.  No particular use for it -- if you select Desktop from an OS 9 app you get the OS X desktop.   I can also see why there's no real OS 9 finder -- anything you could have done from it you can do from the OS X finder -- except the "Apple Menu" and that's why that's under the classic icon on the right half of an OS X menu bar.  There still is a "rebuild desktop" in the Classic prefs -- I assume that's so you get the right doc/app association in the classic environment, since I don't think OS X understands the classic creator/type info.
    So sounds very much like I'm misremembering!
