How do I remove residual frames at the beginning and end of a video?

I'm making a short clip with black slugs at the beginning and end. But there are two or three residual frames from the incoming clip after the black clip that stay at the beginning and end of the video and I can't remove them.  I've tried trimming the beginning and end of the video several different ways, and the frames won't disappear. They stay in the video when I make a DVD. The very first and very last frame have sprocket holes in them on the edge of the frame. I'm baffled. Is this an artifact of using the trial version?

chances are they are from a fade.  have you zoomed in really really close and checked if there is a small fade in or fade out?  happens to me all the time, and with the fade out, you can't do anything to fix it (that I've found) except replacing the clip from your Browser.  See my similar question here:

Hope that helps.

  • How can I put asterisk in the beginning and end of a search parameter..?

    Hi!
         I'm developing a program for a user where he wants a search parameter for the description about some purchase orders....
    The problem is if the user want to make a search for any word he need to put asterisk in the beginning and end of the word because if the user don't put the asterisk the search will not find anything because the program don't know if the word is in the beginning of the description or in the end or in the middle...
    How can I put one asterisk in the beginning and end of the search topic entered by the user internally in the program..? I was thinking using the concatenate function but for this will not work because the program think that the asterisk is part of the word and not..
    The search parameter of the Description is in range.. (Select-Options).
    Thanks for your help!!

    Thanks keshav!
    OK... and if I concatenate the asterisk latter I can make this search?
    In the code desc_search is the select_option that I tell u. I use the DESCRIBE to see first if it is not initial... if desc_search have an entry then access the DELETE to remove all the records that are diferent from desc_search.. This desc_search will have the word with the asterisk... and the question is if it works if I use the concatenate before this... anyway I will try but I think that if I use the concatenate the program confuse and take the asterisk as part of the word..
    DESCRIBE TABLE desc_search LINES desc_count.
      IF desc_count IS NOT INITIAL.
        DELETE core_table WHERE desc NOT IN desc_search.
      ENDIF.
    Let u know if works!!
    Thanks!

  • Removing punctuation from the beginning and end of a string

    I am working on a project for a "spell checking" program. So far the StringHash class is made, and the dictionary is read into a hash table. Then the document to be checked is specified via command line, the document scans through each word and checks to see if it is in the dictionary, if it is do nothing, if it is not then display it to console. The problem I am having is with a method in the main class. The method (I will post what I have so far) is called removePunct. The method should remove any punctuation from the beginning and the end of the string, nothing from the middle. Here is what I have so far:
    public static String removePunct(String word){
              StringBuilder wo = new StringBuilder(word);
              int x = (word.length()-1);
              if(!Character.isLetter(wo.charAt(0)))
                   wo.deleteCharAt(0);
              if(!Character.isLetter(wo.charAt(x)))
                   wo.deleteCharAt(x);
              return wo.toString();
    Any help would be much appreciated, I'm pretty certain the solution is either something completely different, or something so simple that I just missed it.

    The easiest way to do this is to just show you the actual file to be spell checked:
    -- outline --
    This directory contains Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the
    different parser kinds, that are specialized for specific grammars by
    the bison program.
    Currently, there are only three supported skeletons:
    - yacc.c
    It used to be named bison.simple: it corresponds to C Yacc
    compatible LALR(1) parsers.
    - lalr1.cc
    Produces a C++ parser class. It is still very experimental, and not
    yet supported. Please, subscribe to [email protected].
    - glr.c
    A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables.
    These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team.
    Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not
    finished, we are not bound to it. In particular, Bison is not
    mature enough for us to consider that ``foreign skeletons'' are
    supported.

    What I need the spell checker to do is read each word, and strip any beginning or ending punctuation, e.g. (c) would become c. Pretty much punctuation consists of anything that is not a letter, hence the use of isLetter. I can easily modify the method to remove all punctuation using regular expressions, but I only want the beginning and end characters removed.
    Example of words:
    -yacc.c would become yacc.c and is not in the dictionary so it would be printed.

  • How to calc the begining and end of every month (leap year)

    Hi all,
    I'm looking for a method that returns the begining and end of next month.
    example:
    today is 2005-10-04
    so the method suppose to return:
    2005-11-01
    2005-11-31 //as it ends on the 31
    I came up with the code below - but I don't like it as I can't get the end of month + it's not safe.
    any suggestions.
    Thanks
    Peter
    Calendar gcToday = Calendar.getInstance();
              int month = gcToday.get(Calendar.MONTH);
              int year  = gcToday.get(Calendar.YEAR);
              month+=2;
              if(month>12) //beacuase of month+=2;
                   year++;
                   month=1;
              String nextMonth;
              if (month<10)                         
                   nextMonth=year+"-0"+month+"-01";
              else
                   nextMonth=year+"-"+month+"-01"; 

    Look at using the methods getActualMaximum() and getActualMinimum() in the Calendar class. Basically what I would do is set the calendar to the 15th of the month (well, really anything between 1 and 28) and then add() one to the current month. The Calendar will roll over the dates as needed.

  • Can you adjust audio volume at the beginning and end of a clip?

    I want to add portions of songs into my iMovie videos. When I do that they abruptly start and end. Is there no way to adjust add a fade at the beginning and end of an audio clip?

    As said above, you cannot.
    The only work around is to edit audio in an external app.
    So please do suggest to Apple to add this feature in the next update.

  • StageVideo on android shows a black frame on the start and end of video playback

    When my screen starts up it goes completely black for a moment and the interface becomes unreponsive for about a second when my stagevideo player class is added to the stage. My videos are encoded using Adobe Media Encoder with the 480p android settings (vbr 2 pass). I tried cbr and that had exactly the same effect. This problem happens on both air 3.5 and air 3.4. I figure this has to be something caused by my own code because I don't see many discussions about this issue.

    Using Air 3.6 on a Samsung tab 2 - Android 4.1.1
    Having similar issues.
    I'm trying to play a different video corrisponding with a button on the stage.
    When I click the button, the video turns black, then shows the last frame of the old video then the new video starts playing.
    A just want the old video to stop and have the new one play with no flashing in the middle.
    This happens with both stagevideo and the fallback video object
    Works fine in flash player 11 windows.
    I've noticed a lot of similar type problems and some seem to be getting fixed with new Air versions.
    Anyone else currently having similar issues?

  • How to remove characters/lines from the beginning of an InputStream

    Hi,
    I have a program which receives several InputStreams. From each of these streams I have to remove 2 lines from the beginning. After the lines are removed, all the streams are combined to one with SequenceInputStream and read in one chunk. Is there an easy/simple way of doing this?
    One option I thought would be to read the char by char until 2 end of line chars have been detected and then read the rest of the data to a buffer. And the create a ByteArrayInputStream out of this buffer. Problem with this approach is, that the amount of data can be large, so putting all the data in to memory might cause problems.
    Another option is to use BufferredInputStream and use the readline() method twice to get rid of the lines that are not needed. After this I would write the data to some output stream, which is then converted back to input stream. Propably would work, but sound too much of work for a simple thing like this. There has to be better way.
    To make it simple, what I need is a method that looks like the following, or something similar
    *  Removes n number of lines from the beginning of a InputStream.
    *  @param is InputStream where the lines are removed
    *  @param numberOfLines int value to indicate how many lines whould be removed
    *  @return InputStream where lines have been removed.
    public InputStream removeLines(InputStream is, numberOfLines);Thanks.

    Here's the code, feel free to use it. Comments are also welcome.
    public InputStream removeLinesFromTheBeginning(InputStream is, int numberOfLines) throws IOException
              char c = 'c';
              int i = 0;
              for(int n = 0 ; n < numberOfLines ; n++)
                   do
                        c = (char)is.read();
                        System.out.print(c);
                        if(c == (char)-1)     // end of stream reached before any newline characters were found.
                             return null;
                        i++;
                   while(c != '\n');
                   System.out.println();
                   System.out.println("Characters removed:" + i);
                   System.out.println("n: " + n);
                   i = 0;
              return is;

  • How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

    How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

    As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the 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 the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.
