23.976 Logic is 1 frame ahead

Dears all
i am working on a 23.976 movie. Logic (902 or 911) is one frame ahead.
I mean for example : Film is @ 05 04 11 10 and Logic counter is @ 05 04 11 11.
I know it's just a frame but just wonder if there is a workaround.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, to match it exactly i have anticipate the movie offset by one frame.
Btw it's an artefacted workaround.

In authorware .avi files are jumping (when paused) to one frame ahead on mouseover.

Dear All,
I had prepared the CBT in a Authorware application (version 7.02) and published it.
The .avi files are playing well in my system (OS=Win XP) and same CBT file in some of the Win XP systems it is not playing well.
i,e. when the movie is playing and I click on the pause button the movie.avi is paused, but the real problem is persisting when I bring my cursor on the different navigation buttons (mouseover) then the movie is jumping to one (1) frame, and if I scroll the text samething is happening the movie is heading forward one frame ahead. But when I click on Play button the movie is playing from the place where it has been paused.
I tried to check in the Virtual Machine and the CBT is working fine, whereas in the upgraded WinXP systems the CBT is giving the problems.
I tried to resolve the problem along with System Administrator (they were saying that the Authorware Software need to give some patch files.)
Please HELP me out with the patch files I need to upload along with the CBT system.
As I tried to copy all the xtra's into the XTRA folder but still the problem persists.
Please let me know what to do.
Thanks and Regards
Ravi Rao G.

There are no patches for Authorware that will change the way video plays. As far as I know there are no patches for Authorware beyond 7.0.2. You have the most current version. You could try renaming the file to .wmv which will change the extension that would be used from a7vfw32.xmo to a7wmp32.xmo. The a7vfw32 is used for avi files but a7wmp32.xmo uses the Windows Media Player in the background to run the file. If this doesn't work are you able to try different movie formats?
HTH,

How to jump 10 frames ahead on timeline

I know I can hold the SHIFT key and hit the right arrow and move my playhead ahead one second
on the timeline, but is there a way to make your playhead jump in 10 frame increments?
Thanks

You're right. That does work. Thank you. But it's an awful lot of buttons to hit just to jump the playhead 10 frames ahead.
Is there no other shortcut? I was hoping that since holding SHIFT and hitting the right arrow let you jump the playhead in 1 second increments, there might be something similar to continuously jump in 10 frame increments?

Premiere Pro CC- Setting Out point sets 5 frames ahead of the cursor?

may have accidentally set Premiere Pro so that every out point I set, it advances 5 frames ahead, making it very frustrating to make cuts at precise points. There is now a dashed orange line next to the cursor.
I can't find the setting to disable this. Any ideas?
Here is an example of what it looks like in the timeline:

23.976 Quicktime exports one frame short

Hi,
I'm having a recurring problem with 23.976 fps exports missing the last frame of any comp. I'm working with prores 4444 files shot at 23.976, comp settings also 23.976, footage interpreted correctly at 23.976. When I export to quicktime in any codec at 23.976 the exported clip is one frame short.
This isn't a framerate issue as far as I can tell as all previous frames match the original footage, also an image sequence export will produce the correct number of frames. It's just not exporting the last frame. Is anyone else having this problem?
Obviously the workaround is to extend every comp by a frame before render, or always render an image sequence, but as I'm working on a show with an extremely high number of shots to turnaround and all have to be imported back into the edit at Avid DNX36 offline codec quality, this seems like a much more time consuming (and storage space consuming!) solution to what is an obvious glitch.
Can anyone help? A solution will save me weeks of time over the coming six months!
Many thanks in advance for any help.

It's probably just a counting error. AE, like many applications that work with video, begins with frame ZERO, not frame one.
Count the number of digits in the following list: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Even though the highest value is nine, the number of digits is ten. Thus, in AE, close to one second of 23.976 fps video is contained in frames 00-23, and not 00-24... which would be twenty-FIVE frames.

Logic X movie frame not working correctly

Hi,
I'm using Logic X to score to picture.
Whenever I drag the timline/playhead back or forward in the arrange window, the movie seems to freeze then skip a few frames - it's not displaying all the frames,
The result is that I can't score accurately, I'm just guessing as the where specific sync points are.
Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
I've been taking a bit of a break from music and just got back into things, so apologies if I'm duplicating a topic; just can't be bothered trawling through endless searches.
I've had a Logic X app update which I dutifully performed.
I've just loaded up my first project of 2014...and..
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVEN"T SORTED THE MOVIE PROBLEM OUT!!!!
Apologies for shouting, but my movie is lagging and now gets stuck unless I close down and re-load? Don't they listen at Apple?
Is all this gear meant for kids playing about, or is it for serious working musicians.
So had it with Apple!
NO...I'm not buying a new Mac Pro; because Apple cannot be trusted to produce serious professional products.
Rant over.
Thanks.
p.s. further apologies if this problem has already been fixed and I've missed it. I just haven't got time seaching for the cure to something that should already work.

Wires running from logic board to frame of screen

Just a simple question. What do the black and gray wires running up the frame of the screen from the logic board do? Is there any relevance to its placement there, or can I re-solder them onto something else, And if i can, can i strip these wires to re-solder them?

No. But you might visit ifixit.com where you may find more information especially disassembly information.

Premiere CC 2014's timeline bar showing one frame ahead

Hey guys, my timeline bar sometimes shows a "extra blue bar" that really annoys me.
As you can see in the picture, the timeline bar is at frame 39;05 but because of that extra blue bar, it shows the next frame in the program monitor, or even when i set the out point, the out is after that extra blue bar.
How do I get rid of it, and make the timeline bar normal function again? Tried every Ctrl +/Alt+/Shift+/Ctrl+Alt+/Ctrl+Alt+**** possible combination and couldn't find a solution.
Sorry if that's been answered but didn't know how to search for that issue!

I selected the entire project that was completely rendered and hit render and it did 0 of 2 frames 1 video preview.. then 4 frames 2 video previews up to about 50 previews. Eventually looks like it has rendered. Hit play and the video clips its pausing on are now completely green shots. Not had this on PPro or CC before. I have a Quadro 2000 and usually runs perfectly. In fact there is not chance of it being my card. It's definitely to do with the update.

An Intel iMac AND a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro?

I am torturing myself over this issue lately so any input you guys could offer would be welcome!
This is the situation:
After 3 months of serious debating whether to purchase a 20" Intel iMac or a MacBook Pro for Logic Pro, I went ahead about 3 weeks ago and got the iMac. My reasoning behind this was that even though I found the portability of the MBP very desirable, the iMac simply represented a better value with the big screen and bigger hard drive. Since getting it, I must say I love this machine and I have not had one single problem with it. Logic 7.2 runs like a dream on it. By the way, aside from maintaing my iTunes Library, occasional iLife stuff and web surfing with Safari, this iMac is for music production only.
But here's the problem:
Still, I can't seem to shake the desire for OCCASSIONAL portability. Keep in mind, I am only a "serious" music hobbyist; I create instrumental hip-hop, trip-hop, electronica style of music mainly with software instruments, loops and breakbeats. So needless to say, I don't tour or do a lot of travelling. But the prospect of being able to compose tracks or make beats in Logic anywhere is DESIRABLE to say the least. I could compose while sitting on the couch watching a game or laying in bed - even though I have no idea of how often I'd actually do that, just having the ability to do it is VERY APPEALING to me. Throw in the fact that the iMac currently shares deskspace with a PC that my wife uses - meaning that I often have to stop what I'm doing to let her use the space. With a laptop, I could move and still continue my flow. Lastly, I unfortunately have bad knees and a bad back so after a couple of hours (or 3 or 4) of sitting at the desk working on Logic, I am seriously hurting. Not comfortable at all. At least owning a MacBook would give me the option to move around to some place more comfortable if I desire.
So...
Even though I recently bought a wonderful iMac that works great, I'm seriously considering getting a 1.83 MBP with at least 1GB of RAM and the 100GB/7200 RPM drive to accompany it just for the portability factor. Sure, I could get a used G4 PowerBook or iBook, but all I own is the Universal Binary of Logic Pro; I would have a hard time accepting the decrease in speed I've gotten use to on the Core Duo. Besides, I inherently have a problem buying something (even used) that I know is old and out of date when the latest and greatest is available.
So here is the $25,000 question: Am I nuts for even considering this? Am I placing too much of a premium on the portability as I would use it?
This could easily be justified if I was a working musician on the road, but that ain't me. And you can believe that I'm definately not rich and thus don't have money lying around.
But I have obsessed over this so much lately, I feel that I almost have to get it just to put my mind at ease! I even briefly considered putting the iMac on eBay and just buying a MBP to replace it, but I love the screen real estate I get with the 20" iMac and I question if I'll be truly satisfied with a 15.4" screen FULL TIME. 17" might be better, but I doubt if I can wait until June for them to arrive. In addition, everything would connected via my wireless LAN and .Mac so file sharing should not be an issue.
Help!!!
What would you do? Sell the iMac or just get a MBP as cheap as I can?
Opinions, Please!
20" iMac Core Duo, 2GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, 128MB VRAM Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I love the portability my powerbook gives me. You can use a PB in your setup. You can run an external monitor for either PB or MBP. You can node. Universal Binary menas it is an application which has the components written for both PPC and Intel chips-so you don't need to do conversion. Nodes won't require you buy a nother license. so the answer is down to how much the 2 upgrades and 1 crossgrades will set you back vs how much use you'll get out of them. IMO the iMac is inexpensive (I mean that in a good way-worth hooding on to). Maybe just look at a refurb PB unless you really have the extra cash.

How can I undo Converting Recovery Partition to Logical Drive (Oops...) - HP G62-b32sa???

I needed to create a new partition, but to do that Easeus Partition Master 9.00 Home Edition (I like using this compared to the Windows one..) stated that I needed to convert one of the 4 pre-made partitions from Primary to Logical. The following partitions were pre-made with my laptop, HP G62-b32SA, all of which were Primary:
*: SYSTEM
C:
D: RECOVERY
*: HP_TOOLS
I could only convert the "D: Recovery" to Logical, so I went ahead, and then could create a new partition. But now after reading several post on this Forum, I realised what a mistake that was. I found that that converting the Recovery partition to Logical renders it useless... "Oops" I said. Now I wonder that if I convert the Recovery partition back to Primary, will I be able to use it again, or has the damage been done? But then the other problem is that it won't allow me to convert the Recovery Partition back to Primary, claiming "there are no free MBR slots". Also, I have a feeling that I'll have to delete my newly created partition to convert the Recovery partition back to Primary, but then how do I create a new partition without converting any of the existing to Logical? Endless questions, I know. So now I ask, what is the best thing to do??
BTW this is my first HP Laptop...
This question was solved.

Import sequence files from 29.976 to 23.976....HELP!

Hi All,
Can someone help me with this very annoying issue.
I work with Nuke X, Assimilate Scratch and Maya. 99% of the time I am transfering image sequence files from program to program.
When I import a sequence file into premiere cs5 or even cs4, the sequence comes in with a DEFAULT FRAME RATE of 29.976.
I work in 24 or 23.976 frame projects. I ALWAYS have to go Rick click/Modify/ interpret footage and change to 23.976.
Is there a way to set up cs5 to assume 23.976 as a default frame rate for image sequences?
Also, Part two question:
I bought a video card that uses the MPE in cs5 and it works great. I could layer the heck out of the timelime.
But Only if the footage is from RED, Canon, quicktime, mpeg, etc.. If I import my image sequence files, I DO NOT get fluid playback.
Does anyone out there get fluid playback from targas, DPX, Tiffs?
Thanks,
Lou

Holy Crap ! You Did it!!!
I have been changing that freakin thing from 29.976 to 23.976 , ten times a day, for 2 years.
I can 't believe it has been sitting there all that time. Then again, I wrote on Creative cow forum a while back, and nobody knew how to fix that.
So...... you D Man
A bug in CS5?
Yeah that figures, Of course it would be a bug in importing sequences. Just my luck.
I bought the new Mocha 2.0 which now has NUKEX importing.....
I spent 3 days trying to figure out why my timeline was off by 1 frame when importing....
Found out "Its a Bug" and had to wait for 2.01
My whole life is all about updates.

Why is the position of key frame BEFORE scene changes not after?

Why is the position of I frame BEFORE scene changes not after?
And, why doesn't MovieVideoChart show any I frames other than those that correspond to periodic "key frames every X frames"? Is it reading meta data and not really showing where the real existing I frames are located? I.e. WYSIAL (what you see is a lie)? If so, where can I get an affordable tool that will let me examine my files in this regard?
I have put compression and chapter marks at scene changes in FCP and have exported with markers for DVDSP (both chapter and compression).
I have read on this forum (somewhere) that when insert key frames every X frames is selected, Compressor is still going to insert key frames automatically at key frames.
When I last encoded with H.264 in Compressor, I selected option to insert I key frame every 90 frames (fps=29.97).
When I jump to chapter in my encoded video, where I had place a key frame at a cut, I end up with a chapter at the frame BEFORE the cut.
I will try moving my chapter/compression marks a frame ahead and see if that helps.
Certainly, others must have been plagued by this problem.
When encoding with MPEG2 for DVD, the same thing happens.
It is a real problem. I get one frame appearing before the cut in chapter skips.
Hope someone can illuminate this problem.

Hi there
As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
Cheers... Rick

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(20000,0);//<--
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
    this.nextFrame();
    //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames
    this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+5);
Thank you for any help.

For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck

if (this.currentScene.name == "Scene 1") {
if (this.currentFrame != this.currentScene.numFrames) {

Standard motion blur on 3d camera uses premature frame samples

Hi there everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever noticed the following issue:
I have created a couple of 3D layers in AE "space", having a camera zip panning and tilting from one to the other. We're talking like 15 frames rotation moves, so worth a little blurring. Now AE creates a very nice motion blur on those zippy camera moves, be it that half of the sixteen samples needed to calculate the motion blur are taken from the frames yet to come (?????) So, especially in a 'banking' kind of rotation, causing an over time calculated spin blur, the blur itself pops in even before the camera has moved (it's like five frames 'ahead').
Does anyone of you have a similar experience? Is there a workaround without having to create every blur manually?
Oh, by the way, CC Force Time blur crashes on this because it does not like certain effects I used, like Text Anarchy and a couple of standard AE effects (??)
Please help me out on this one. It's easy to recreate this issue: create a new comp, throw in a camera and a video layer and have this video layer rotating round its Z-axis once in a five frames duration, in linear interpolation. Now switch on motion blur for this layer and the timeline. You will notice the blur appears before the video layer has started rotating and when the rotation has stopped, the motion blur is long gone. Appreciate any help, thx.

Hi Mylenium and thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it a lot, certainly when a known AE guru like you picks up a question like this one.
Unfortunately, though I have tried every offset in steps of 90 degrees up to 720, but the problems persists. Maybe a bigger offset helps? Or a negative one (if possible, haven't tried yet...)
I don't think this would be of any importance, but the layers I use are mainly AE generated text layers.... but now that I think of it, the entire camera move was imported from Cinema 4D, so every timeline frame is a lineair camera keyframe as well... 546 frames, and thus 546 keyframes for the poor 3D cam... could that be messing up the motion blur calculation.....?
I guess I will try that right after dinner. Thanks again so far, I feel honoured.

Lots of weird Single-Frame offset errors lately

Hi Everyone,
    I have been fighting some mighty germlins of late. At first, I though the issue was isolated, but it appears to be spreading - or at least not as isolated as I first thought.
    The problems began when I was asked to employ the use of the CC Twister plugin on a project for use as a text transition. When I initially set it up, it worked great, but I found I needed to adjust the timing. When I dragged a keyframe to facilitate this, I found that the text would either not resolve where it should, instead animating up to the upper left corner (0,0) or if it didn't resolve there, it would simply pop up there for a single frame at some point during the transition. I found that changing ANYTHING would cause this... even if I kept the timing alone and disabled the layer's track matte; and I didn't have to undo, I could just put the property back like it was and it would work again. Obviously, I tried deleting the effect, and applying it anew - same results...   I then tried cleaning all the cache files, applying the effect anew once more, and again... same results. There was no rhyme or reason to it... nothing that appeared to be driving the issue. In fact, at one point I could RAM preview the comp, and it looked correct, but the problem would pop up again when rendering... despite changing nothing in the comp. So, I simply had to presume that this effect had a bug of some sort, rendering it useless pending an update.
     So then, last night, I had a similar issue during rendering with Trapcode Form. Whenever I would do quarter or half res previews, things were working as expected... then I'd do a full res export and some of the forms would jump wildly from one frame to the next... always for just one frame, but often several scattered individual frames would be effected. When I'd go back into the comp after the render, the errors were 'baked in' as though they has always been there... though they most definitely had not. In this case, the issue started when I enabled multi-processing (it was never on in the first example with CC Twister above). It occured to me that in THAT case, since one core might be rendering a frame two or three frames ahead of another core, and said core therefore perhaps didn't have the necessary data from the preceeding frame, the position would be incorrectly calulated. A similar phenomenon occurs in C4D with certain generators when rendering out of sequence, necessitating baking of the solution.... Whether or not this is the case, the fact that the error actually affected the comp post render is really unsettling. After turning off Multi-Processing, I was able to to export a clean full-res render without any issue. So, I thought it odd that I was having similar issues with entirely different circumstances at play, but again had to assume these were isolated and that THIS issue was simply a matter of the notoriously unstable AE multi-processing rearing once more its not ready for prime time head.
     That brings me to today. I was asked by my client to give a little subtle movement to the text layers in my scene. I wanted to try a couple of things... a subtle wiggle on the text layer itself, or using the similar function from the plugin Sure Target, in case they wanted the movement to be on more elements than just the text, I could easily add new elements to the movement by making them 3D layers. So I made 2 new comps to test, find the right settings, and decide if there was a technique I preferred. On the text layer itself, I was able to apply the wiggle with some experession controls, no problems at all. In my second comp, when I employed the use of Sure Target (which itself uses thw Wiggle Experssion with controls), I found that my text would, at some random frame, suddenly pop over to X-0, and nothing I could would prevent it.
    So there it is... 3 different situations in the last few days... different variables at play in each one, but a similar issue. The only commonality here is that all 3 issues involved 3rd party plugins, though all from different companies (Cycore, Red Giant, and Video Copilot), so maybe there is something to that... but there has to be more to it.
    My next step is to try and replicate these issues at home, just to rule out the very unlikely possibility that this machine is the culprit.
    Appogies for the length of this post - I know that will prevent some of you from reading it, but for those who do and can perhaps offer some theories or insights, I truly appreciate it.
- Will
FWIW the system I am using is a 2013 iMac 3.4GHz i7 with 16GB of RAM running OSX 10.8.4 and the latest version of Creative Cloud.

Hi Guys,
   Thanks for the repsonses. Todd, my versions for everything are as follows:
After Effects 12.0.0.404
FORM 2.0.5
Cycore Effects HD 1.7.5
CC Twister 1.6
   There are no updates available for AE, the version we have of FORM is actually higher than what they have on their update pafe (they list 2.0.4), and the Cycore stuff is integtrated now, so I would expect any updates along those lines to be delivered via CC desktop.
   So, whatever is causing the issue(s), I don't think versions are behind it. Even though the cache bugs that Mylenium referenced have been tended too, perhaps not all the bugs have been squashed. When I'm back in that project, I will try disabling the cache and fast previews to see if it makes a difference.
