29.97fps timeline / animated stills are 23.98fps, why?

I'm inserting key-framed animated stills in a standard 29.97 fps timeline. I'm getting some shimmering on the stills with slightly higher contrast edges. This could be the size of the stills (I'm trying to keep them fairly small (HD) in resolution, or the specific animated moves I know ... but,
I'm just wondering. When I look at the properties of the stills, they are all 23.98 fps. Everything else on the timeline and the timeline itself is 29.97 fps. Why would the stills be 'supposedly' a different framerate? And is this something I can change, or should bother changing?
All ears,
Ben

For whoever is interested, the answer is: if you want your 23.98 edit "fit in" an hour and a half using 29.97 DF timecode, its length would be exactly 1:28:42:16.
Correct...that is what you have to do. I too find it odd that FCP will not allow a 23.98 DF timeline, if so, timing would match perfectly. But no...I have to do what you do. I lay slug to get my DF timing, then copy and paste that into a 23.98 NDF timeline and note the end time. Hey, it works. Dunno why Apple isn't fixing this.
As for the audio OMF...I simply OMF the 23.98 sequence and give that to the protools guy (I use the Duck)...and THEY can convert it from 23.98 to 29.97. I know, because he does that when he lays off audio to my HDCAM master and again to my Digibeta master.
Why are you exporting the OMF to an Avid?

Animated GIFs are ridiculously large - why?

Hi all,
I cannot figure out why the animated GIFs I am exporting are
so massive in file size. For example, I import a small 5-frame
650Byte GIF. I edit the size of the canvas to pad it to a square
(from 54x40 to 54x54, or something like that), then I save it with
the following settings:
Animated GIF
Exact Palette
0 Loss
4 Colours (5 including alpha channel)
No dither
And it comes out as 64.4KB. How can the file size increase by
100 times with barely any change? Even if I import it, change
nothing and save the file with the same settings as above, it's
still 64.4KB. Is Fireworks padding the file with unnecessary
information or something?
Thanks for any help,
John.

make it increase in weight?

Copies of repeater are not extending (3D timeline animation steps)

Trying to make a 3D timeline animation by following this tutorial video: After Effects Video Tutorial: 3D Timeline Animation on Vimeo.
But faced a very beginning problem: when I made the copies of the rectangles, they do not extend as they should have (The blue indicator stays on the first one, please see the first image). Unlike the video which he has the blue indicator extending all the way (please see the second image). I think this affects how every composition connects to each other later. (Please see the 3rd image compared to the 4th image from the video).
I will very appreciate if somebody could help me out with this. Thank you!

I see nothing wrong in your pictures. The bounding box display depends on what property/ item/ shape group is selected and there is a difference between certain procedural items vs. normal shape paths. A bit confusing, but you'll get the hang of it.

Animating stills into video project program options

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Dear experts:
I just acquired PE7 on the assumption that it was a sophisticated program that allowed me to integrate/edit stills into my video footage to create a complete dvd and boy was I dissapointed to find that I cannot even pan a still like the simpler and free Windows Movie Maker that came with my machine. I create "Ken Burns" type documentaries that have a lot of stills and live video footage and now I am stuck.
Can someone advise as to the best way to accomplish this like?:
A. Create the documentary animated stills in another program and copy them into PE7 (or make a dvd first ? Which program is best for this?
B Is there another Adobe program out there that does both full video and animated stills to create a full dvd?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
Tom

Here's some more links that might help. Some of these links are for prior versions of PRE, or for Premiere Pro, so the menu items and whatnot might not be exactly the same as PRE7, but the concepts are the same and generally the features just move around from version to version.

Basically, if you
Right click on your image in the Timeline, and select Show Properties, it will open the Properties panel.
Click on the triangle next to "Motion" to display the details for the Motion effects. "Postion" controls where on the screen your image is; "Scale" controls the "zoom" on your image as a percentage of normal (100=normal scale, 50=half size)
For discussion sake, let's say your image is 4 seconds long.
You change the Scale to 50. If you do a preview, you can see the image is half-size for the entire 4 seconds. But let's say you want the image to start at half-size, but end at full-size. In other words, start a half size and zoom in until it's full size.
That's where keyframes come in.
So click the "Toggle Animation" button. This will open a mini timeline. This timeline represents the 4 seconds of your clip.
Put a keyframe at the very beginning (move the red line as far left as it will go, click the diamond icon). Change the Scale to 50.
This tells PRE that at the beginning of the clip, you want the scale to be 50.
Next, move the red line as far right as it will go. Click the diamond again to set another keyframe. Set the Scale to 100.
This tells PRE that at the end of the clip, you want the scale to be 100.
That's it. PRE will calculate all the "in between" values. You can actually see this in action by moving the red line back and forth. If you position the red line exactly at 2 seconds, you'll see PRE has computed the value as 75. Magic, eh?
To get fancier, you could
add a keyframe at 2 seconds, make its value 100, and
change the ending keyframe's value to 50.
This would make PRE start at half size, zoom to full size, and zoom back out to half size.
Hopefully that will give you an idea of what keyframes do. I was really intimidated by them at first, but after playing around a little, I found them incredibly powerful and actually much easier to use than I thought.
By the way, changing the Scale causes your image to zoom in and out. If you change the Position values, you can cause your image to move - changing the horizontal values only can move it move left to right (or vice versa), vertical values to move up and down.
By changing the Position *and* Scale, you could make your image pan left-to-right *and* zoom in.
By changing Position *and* Scale *and* Rotation, you could make it pan left-to-right, zoom in, and spin around. Which would probably make you throw up, but it gives you an idea of what keyframes can do.
Other keyframe tips:
The left and right triangles surrounding the diamond allow you to move back and forth between established keyframes
If you turn animation off after you've set keyframes, it will erase all of your keyframes (after asking you, of course). This can be a good thing or bad thing, depending...
If you type a new value in a property, it will automatically add a keyframe whereever the red line is (that is, the red line in the keyframe panel next to the properties, not the red line in the Timeline).
After keyframes are placed, you can move them by dragging them.

Photoshop CC: Layer Merging Behavior with Timeline Animations (Bug?)

Hello,
we're working a lot with the Photoshop timeline in our company. After upgrading to Photoshop CC we encountered a behavior that was different with CS6.
Picture a file with a timeline animation consisting for example of 8 frames, with 8 layers, each layer's visibility exposed on a single frame (layer 1 exposed in frame 1, layer 2 exposed in frame 2 etc) and all other layer not visible.
In Photoshop CS6, if I were to create a new layer for example in frame 4 of my timeline above layer 4 (which is the only visible layer in this frame) and merged it back down onto layer 4 (by selecting it and pressing the shortcut CTRL+E), the resulting layer inherited all the exposure settings of layer 4, but did contain the merged visual content of layer 4 and the previously new layer above it. This is what I want.
Now in Photoshop CC, when doing the very same action, the layers are merged and keep the naming of layer 4, however the visibility flag is not inherited properly. The resulting layer is exposed (visible) on all frames in the timeline, whereas it actually should only be exposed in frame 4.
Also note that the timeline option "New layers visible in all frames" is deactivated. So even if Photoshop treated the merged layer as an actual new layer, it shouldn't expose it's visibility in all other frames.
The only workaround I've found so far is enabling "unify layer visibility", hiding the layer, then disabling "unify layer visibility" again. This is annoying however, and the entire new behavior seems like a bug to me. Can any of the developers comment on this? Thank you.
Regards,
Hannes Drexl

My only solution so far is to avoid using CC and sticking with CS6. Thanks Adobe for not letting me enjoy the other great features of the PS version you seem to care about updating and improving. Since PS is the main reason I even subscribed to creative cloud, it would be nice to at least know this problem is being resolved in the future.

Quick - Adobe Genius Needed: Footage and stills are black when double clicked - audio but no image ? What the ... ?

I am doing the training video as this is the first time i have used premiere pro cc or any version of it at all. I have downloaded the footage and stills as shown in the video but when i go to double click the beach footage it comes up as black - i can hear the waves but the video isn't playing. Same with the stills, they do not show up when double clicked either, they are just black. Dont know what to do. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Without a screen shot, it's hard to know why the footage/stills are black. Double-clicking the asset opens it in the Source monitor, as opposed to the Project monitor, which could be black if the playhead is not set to a portion of the timeline that shows a movie clip or still. Perhaps your Source monitor is closed or hidden for some reason. After double-clicking the asset, select Window > Source Monitor in the main menu. You should be able to select the specific asset (e.g., Shot_01.mp4) and then see it on the screen. Make sure you also select Window > Workspace > Editing so that your panel layout shows the various panels properly.

It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

Converting timeline animations into .swf??

Hello all,
In CS3 I was able to export animations into .SWF files but with CS6 I cant seem to find out how to do this? The only option is .MP4 via File>Export>Render Video but thats no good to me. I've searched high and low for this answer but have come up with nothing!
Any suggestions? It needs to be SWF. I've tried to convert MP4 into SWF using a 3rd party software but the quality was shocking and I'm unsure what settings to use for the original animation and also for the converting! Doing it with CS6 is much prefered if possible!
Thanks in advance

To my knowledge, you cannot do this in Photoshop CS6. Check out this help document, Creating Timeline Animation (Photoshop Extended).
Do you have Flash or After Effects?
Cheers,

Flash CS6 as3 Navigate to URL stops timeline animation!

Hello
I'm hoping someone can help me out! I'm quite new to flash but slowly getting the hang of it. I'm trying to make an interactive banner using jpegs converted to buttons etc with type, all animated. I've got separate layers for everything including mask layers and actions. I just want to navigate on a top layer which is invisible to take the user to a new URL. Everything is working great until I put more than one URL link in the code, as soon as I do the whole banner animation stops!!
If someone could suggest a few ideas it would be much appreciated as I'm all out?!
Many thanks,
here's the code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn1Click_1);
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2Click_2);
function btn1Click_1(event: MouseEvent): void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com"), "_self");
function btn2Click_2(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com"), "_self");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mo);
function mo (event:MouseEvent):void
event.currentTarget.stop();
function mo2 (event:MouseEvent):void
event.currentTarget.play();
} addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, mo2);

Thanks Ned and moccamaximum for the replies.
The last bit of code does apply to the whole timeline as it stops the animation with a Mouse Over/Roll Over. Taking this away has no effect on the animation in the timeline. The only thing that seems to stop the timeline animation is the second button URL request!
btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btn2Click_2);
and:
function btn2Click_2(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com"), "_self");
Works perfectly without this command. I don't get it!

I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

Flash Timeline Animation to Edge Animate CC?

I have a client with an old Flash CS4 Presentation file that uses Forms and Slides and they want to update their presentation to HTML. I am not concerned about the presentation functionality or shell as my developer will create a new one... But, the presentation contains a bunch of timeline animations that demo their product.
I don't want to export the animations out using the Canvas tag, or as a movie or image sequence.
I am new to Edge, but I am thinking this is the solution for the animations.
Is there a way to export/import these Flash timeline animations into Edge? Or even, at the very least, import the assets into Edge?
Thanks,
Carol

What kind of animations do you have? If you have scenes in Flash you can reproduce that in Edge Animate with symbols. For small animations like a runner for example you can create a spritesheet with Flash and use it in Animate. You will have to use the clip tool and display on/off to set it up. Rigth now it takes several tools to go from Flash to Animate but Animate is quite adequate to reproduce what was done in Flash.

29.97fps timeline / animated stills are 23.98fps, why?
