Frame delay set in frame animation changes after conversion to video timeline?

hi everyone, i'm running photoshop cc on windows 7.
i was trying to make a gif today and went about it the way i usually do - import video frames to layers (1 layer/frame of video), cut out the frames i don't want, then convert from frame animation to video timeline in order to apply filters. in this particular project i had set all frames to a delay of .04s, but when i converted to video timeline the gif seemed to run faster than it had in frame animation. i converted back to frame animation, and for some reason the delay had been changed to .03s - which i'm assuming accounts for the increase in gif speed. i tried inputting different values for frame delay, but they seem to all round to either .03s, .07s, or one of the preset values that appear when you click the dropdown box.
this has never happened to me before. in fact i opened a gif i made recently that had a delay of .05s and once opened the delay had been changed to .07s - noticeably slower than the original gif (which i had opened in IE to compare). i have restarted pscc multiple times to no avail. in fact i just noticed that the "make frames from layers" tool is malfunctioning as well, instead of making one frame per layer, the frames are either blank or they all show the top layer.
is this something that has happened to anyone else? if so, how to fix it? it's very frustrating because i need to be able to convert to video timeline for filters and to add text, which i can't do in frame animation.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm having this exact issue. I notice that the frame delay only stays the same if I set it to .1, but all other delays are changed to .03 or .07. It's a pain because I have to open every saved gif & change it to the correct time delay. It's so time consuming.

Animating in After Effects with video footage

When animating in After Effects, instead of using a solid background, can I use a video as the background and have it playing while the character is moving? I can't see why it wouldn't work. I've saw people question about animating in Flash ect and bringing it in, but I need to animate within AF. Hope someone can help me out!

Hi Claudia.
Are you using "AF" to stand for "Adobe Flash" Or "AFter effects"?
If you are trying to composite character animation over a background in After Effects, yes, it is a fantastic application for it.
You can create many types of backdrops easily (and very easy to modify elements back/forth from Photoshop)
As for character animation, there are multiple standard tools within After Effects. There are also third party plugins that may help you.
One plugin that I like to use for character animation is DUIK. DuDuF R&D » Duik – DuDuF IK Tools
(free)
Another plugin that is excellent is Mettle Freeform http://www.mettle.com/tutorials-digieffects-freeform-freeform-v2/

Cannot set status of Urgent Change after manual transport

Hi all,
We are usng CHARM in Solution Manager 7.1 for import to the SAP ECC (EHP6) systems.
I cannot set the status of the Urgent Change document (ZMHF) to status "To be Tested" after the transports were manually released and manually imported to the ECC QA system.
When I use action "Pass Urgent Change to Test", the system stopped with error "Not all task are yet released" and will not change the status .
Based, on the Task List log, the system started the release process although no transports were released.
Is there any way that I can update the status of the Urgent Change document to "To be Tested"?
I tried program CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT but still did not change the status.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Tess

Hi Venu,
have a look under System Administration - System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration --Content Management -- User Interface -- Commands -- UI Command Groups -- StatemanagementGroup.
See Java class: com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementGroupCommand. Take the class and decompile this and everything needed around to understand how this class works.
Then you can choose to extend this CommandGroup to also have a command "Resubmit for Approval" or you can implement your own UI Command only for resubmitting (you will also have to activate your command (group) by settings within the configuration).
On the other hand, if all this is completely new to you, I'm a bit sceptical if the task isn't a bit too big as a first task on KM implementation topics...?
Hope it helps

Where to Notify About 301 Change After Conversion to HTTPS

Hello,
My website has an approved Podcast channel. Recently for security and other reasons, we have changed the whole website to HTTPS (managed Rackspace), 301 redirection is working fine plus I can manually Edit the XML file to reflect the changes (changes has been deployed 72 hours ago). Support from Rackspace has suggested me to officially notify for the change over email. I will be much helped if any link or email is provided to help me to notify about the change.
(I am not adding the URL here because it is working with 301 and may be, the question will look like a promotive post.)
Thanks in advance,
Abhishek

You don't have to notify anyone regarding Tunes and the iTunes Store. Once the redirect is in place the Store will update and go to the new feed when it next checks the feed - usually within a couple of days. Subscribers will see the change pretty well immediately.
If you are going to use a 301 you should also add the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the new feed so that iTunes and the Store will permanently redirect to the new feed and not be dependent on the 301.
Full details on this page: http://wilmut.uk/move
However https may not be advisable. It certainly used to be the case that the Store would not handle https - I don't know for certain whether it can now do so, though I've seen some evidence that it can - so you should check this with the 301 (which you can presumably remove) before adding the tag.

How do I change effects in 'Altered Video' timeline in Photoshop CS6?

I added a filter to my video but it only lasts for a few frames. There are little marks shown where I added it in the Altered Video section of the timeline.
How do I apply a filter or effect to the entire clip?
Also when I ad a filter such as Lens Correction, it only lasts for a few frames..How do I get it to remain?

I was going to Move that thread for you, but could not get it to go to Photoshop General Discussion - that option was grayed out.
Maybe Pierre, who Replied in that thread, will have more access, and can accommodate you.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do you set the duration of images before importing into a timeline

Is there a way to do a batch import of images where once I place them into a video group I can set the duration of each image automatically by detereming the overall timelime lenght as opposed to manually setting the duration of each image?

I"m not sure you can do this with a video timeline. If you create a frame animation sequence, you can select all the frames and set the duration, then convert it to a video timeline. Not the best answer, but I think it will work.

Scale of video in timeline changes after rendering

Hi,
I hope someone can tell me why I'm having this problem: before rendering, my video is adjusted to the frame size in the monitor window. After rendering the video looks all squished at the bottom. The scale and position are off. This has never happened before and I can't figure it out. Help?

Ok, thanks to Eddie Lotter, I now know how to paste in pictures, that's a start.
So, before I render
After
So there you go. In a nutshell, that's the problem I'm having.

Videos too heavy after conversion (Zen V Pl

Hi everybody. I bought a MP3 Player Zen V plus. My problem is that I have to convert the videos before to put them on the MP3 Player. But after conversion, the videos become too heavy, so that I can't by example put a divx movie on the player (If a divx movie is 600 mo before conversion, he is 2 go after conversion.)Can anyone help me ?Thanks. PS : Sorry if my english is bad, I am french and that's difficult for me.

Sorry, I should have included an English version as well.....it basically says try PocketDivx (my preference) or SuperC. I forgot the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI....the direct copy?option within PocketDivx may work....may not. ---------------- - As HHS points out, the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI format. If you try PocketDivx, in the advance options, there is a option to direct copy the video and audio stream...this may work. Comme HHS fait remarquer, le V zen Plus utilise un format de AVI sans compression. Si vous essayez PocketDivx, dans les options d'avance, il y a une option pour diriger la copie le vid?o et le ruisseau audio. ..this peut travailler.Message Edited by Locknar on 04-20-200707:4 PM

Setting variable "Frame Delay" for animation.

I am trying to set frame delay in an animation I am working on. There are a lot of frames and they all have different delays. I am not sure if scripting is the best way but here is what I have so far (using VBA because that is what I am familiar with): I am erroring out at line 23 saying it is a "type mismatch"
Sub Set_Frame_Delay()
    Dim appPS As Photoshop.Application
    Dim docPS As Photoshop.Document
    Dim NewLay As Photoshop.ArtLayer
    Dim LaySet As Photoshop.LayerSet
    Dim ref1 As Photoshop.ActionReference
    Dim actPS
    Set appPS = CreateObject("Photoshop.Application")
    appPS.Visible = True
    Set docPS = appPS.ActiveDocument
    Set LaySet = docPS.LayerSets("Text")
    Set ref1 = CreateObject("Photoshop.ActionReference")
    For Each NewLay In LaySet.ArtLayers
            Select Case NewLay.Name
            Case "Test1"
                actPS = ref1.PutName("Frame Delay", 0.540769)
                NewLay.Application.ExecuteAction (actPS)
            Case "Test2"
                actPS = ref1.PutName("Frame Delay", 1.013942)
               NewLay.Application.ExecuteAction (actPS)
          End Select
      Next NewLay
    MsgBox "frame set"
End Sub

Yeah Ive used the script listener before, but was hoping to avoid it because I didn't understand everything that it spits out. But I think I broke it down and I came up with below. I tweeked my original solution to use a text file.
Sub Set_Frame_Delay3()
    Dim appPS As Photoshop.Application
    Dim ActDescPS1 As Photoshop.ActionDescriptor, ActDescPS2 As Photoshop.ActionDescriptor, ActDescPS3 As Photoshop.ActionDescriptor
    Dim ActRefPS1 As Photoshop.ActionReference, ActRefPS2 As Photoshop.ActionReference
    Dim dialogMode
    Dim idsetd, idnull, idOrdn, idTrgt, idT, idslct
    Dim idAniFrClass, idAniFrDelay
    Dim sFileName As String
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set appPS = New Photoshop.Application
    appPS.Visible = True
    dialogMode = 3
    With appPS
        idsetd = .CharIDToTypeID("setd")
        idnull = .CharIDToTypeID("null")
        idOrdn = .CharIDToTypeID("Ordn")
        idTrgt = .CharIDToTypeID("Trgt")
        idT = .CharIDToTypeID("T   ")
        idslct = .CharIDToTypeID("slct")
        idAniFrClass = .StringIDToTypeID("animationFrameClass")
        idAniFrDelay = .StringIDToTypeID("animationFrameDelay")
    End With
    sFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Textfiles (*.txt),*.txt", , "Open a textfile...")
    oIndex = 0
    iFileNum = FreeFile()
    Open sFileName For Input As iFileNum
    Do While Not EOF(iFileNum)
        oIndex = oIndex + 1
        Line Input #iFileNum, oDelay
        Set ActDescPS1 = New Photoshop.ActionDescriptor
        Set ActRefPS1 = New Photoshop.ActionReference
        ActRefPS1.PutIndex idAniFrClass, oIndex
        ActDescPS1.PutReference idnull, ActRefPS1
        appPS.ExecuteAction idslct, ActDescPS1, dialogMode
        Set ActDescPS2 = New Photoshop.ActionDescriptor
        Set ActRefPS2 = New Photoshop.ActionReference
        ActRefPS2.PutEnumerated idAniFrClass, idOrdn, idTrgt
        ActDescPS2.PutReference idnull, ActRefPS2
        Set ActDescPS3 = New Photoshop.ActionDescriptor
        ActDescPS3.PutDouble idAniFrDelay, oDelay
        ActDescPS2.PutObject idT, idAniFrClass, ActDescPS3
        appPS.ExecuteAction idsetd, ActDescPS2, dialogMode
        Set ActDescPS1 = Nothing
        Set ActRefPS1 = Nothing
        Set ActDescPS2 = Nothing
        Set ActRefPS2 = Nothing
        Set ActDescPS3 = Nothing
    Loop
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    Set appPS = Nothing
    MsgBox "Frames Delays have been set!"
End Sub
The text file only needs to list the times in seconds in order of frames. In case someone else wants to copy the code. Such as :
0.916303
0.826175
0.660941
1.374455

Animated Gif - Problem with Frame Delay

Mac OS X 10.5.8
PSE 6.0
I just created an animated gif by following the steps in PSE Help. It says that I should be able to adjust the rate at which the images rotate by changing the Frame Delay measurement but I am unable to change it. In fact I am unable to change anything in the Animation section of the dialog box.
When I check Animation, the options appear to become active (they're no longer greyed out) but I can neither uncheck the Loop option nor change the Frame Delay option. All other sections of the dialog box work fine.
Your help would be most appreciated!
Beth

Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).

Question: Frame delay issue - gif animations on Mac

I have been unable to change the frame delay rate using Photoshop Elements 9 on Mac when trying to create animated gifs. This seems to be a known problem but is there a fix? Does it work on later editions of Elements?

Thanks for this. However, it is rather disappointing that this option was released in PSE9 for Mac even though it didn’t work properly. I spent rather too long trying to get it to work on my Macbook as I knew it worked perfectly well on the PC in the office!

How do I set the frame rate to 12fps on my video, and it not change randomly?

Hi, I imported a video layer from file then set the frame rate to 12fps, when I play the video it keeps changing the frame rate to random times. How do I keep it at 12fps

Click the windows start button, then right click on computer, this will bring up a window that will tell you how much ram your system has.
Also Start>Accessories>System Tools>System Information will give you all the details you need to know.
As for Codec, That is an abreviation for code/decode it tells windows how to code when saving a video and how to decode when playing a video. Most formats are wrappers (avi, wmv, mov, rt) Each of these have a codec that you can choose from when saving a video, that codec then must be installed on the users computer to see that same video. Most formats come with a basic number of codecs and the creator of the video can purchase other codecs that provide better feature set.
What the codec really does is takes the video and compresses it like a zip file then the user when playing require that codec to uncompress it.
So each codec has its own strength and weaknesses. Some can compress more making a smaller file and perhaps inturn removes more data to get that compression and therefore has a poorer quailty video (just an example)
I am sure you heard of a few codecs if you think about it. mpg, mp2, mp3, mp4, h.264 and so on. Mp3 is the only one I listed here that is for audio only. Yep thats right even audio uses codecs.

Frame rate changes after psd imort

I'm not so experienced in Motion. When i start i use a PAL preset to create a new project. After that i want to import a psd file as project, in order to animate all layers. After that the frame rate has changed in 30 fps! I can't find anything in de user manual about it.
G4 pb 1,67 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 gb ram

You're creating 2 separate projects when you do this - one when you created a project using a PAL preset, then a second time when you imported a PSD file AS a project (this creates a brand-new project using the PSD file, it doesn't import it into the one you already created). The frame rate of a project can't be changed after it's been created.
What you need to do is create a new PAL project, then drag & drop the PSD file from the File Browser into your PAL project, hold there a second and choose "import all layers" from the drop menu, or use the Import command (NOT "Import As Project") to bring your PSD into your project.

Can't set Poster Frame for Movies on site

Hi - Any insight into this problem is much appreciated - I've built a simple site, a few pages have 2 or 3 compressed MPEG-4 movie files on the page (they are roughly 30MB each clip). I built the clips in FCP then exported them using Compressor and saved them as MPEG-4 files. I then dragged the files onto blank pages and built the site that way. I have set the Poster Frames for these clips in iWeb08, but after I publish the site the Poster Frames only save on a few files, most do not. Also, some of the clips stop playing mid-way through. Any simple fixes for this/these problem(s)? Thanks.

Sorry to tell you so late in your life that you only have one job when it comes to moms and grand-moms. Give them what they want!
Part of your "monicker" best describes the issue.
You can edit your published pages using hundreds of tools but the are best edited with a plain text editing app like BBEdit (any plain text editor works).
You can use Safari to view your page and even "save" the source code (Command-Option-U) and then "save as". Edit this new page to make your changes and drag it back into the appropriate Web older of your iDisk (replacing the older version).
I did it to one of my pages to add a sound file to one of my slideshow pages:

just because others said it couldn't be done.
Darn. Now you have another mother, or worse, an in-law. Sorry.

Frame delay issues

I have created an animated gif in Fireworks 8 with a frame
delay of 5 seconds (each frame). The animation works fine in
Fireworks, but when I save the file and use it in DW 8 as a swap
image the frame rate seems to return to default of 0.07s. Is the
issue in DW or FW? How do I fix???

Well for the most part. I just went through 20 clips (not my own), and actually there are times that Premier, Quicktime and FC have different frame rates for the same clip. I found that in 3 of the 20 clips. The other 17 were exactly the same in PR and QT. Only 1 time did all three have the same FPS, and that was with video footage (additional clip I just imported) that I shot. So, I'm not sure what to make of it. I am going to move away from this now because it's really a non-issue as far as the video quality. As I mentioned my concern is that if FC has an issue with Frame Rates, then maybe there may be something inherently wrong with my version. And honestly, I'm not convinced of that either so I just took a proactive approach and set up a one on one at the Apple Store next week. I will take my clips and play them in FC 10.1 on one of their computers in the Boulder store. If they do the same thing, then I'll know that my version is fine. I think that is the best solution so I don't bother you all anymore with this.
Thank you Tom and the others who worked with me on the frame rate issue. I'll move on now.
Have a great weekend!
All the best,
Greg
