Ability to Recover Dropped Frames in Spanned MTS Files?

Hi everyone,
I know there's a previous thread about an issue similar to this, but it's been a long time since someone commented so I'm trying to get a quicker more specific answer here.  I'll keep this short:
Using a Sony NXCAM, and I was not aware of needing to use the Content Mangement Utility to export footage onto my editing machine.  I realize this is how you get the spanned MTS files back into a single file.  I now have over 200 GB of footage shot over a week long period.  I just copied over the MTS files ONLY to my editing machine each day, then reformatted the cards to make space for the next day's footage. 
Now, when placed in the timeline, all the clips have the dropped audio frames where they were split.
My question is, is there a way to recover/recombine these files AFTER they've been taken off the memory card, and I no longer have anything but the MTS files only - not the PRIVATE folder, or any of the accompanying stuff.
Am I SOL here? Or is there a way to recombine the spanned files at this point?
Using Premiere Pro CS5.5, but also have access to CS6 if needed.

I was not aware of needing to use the Content Mangement Utility to export footage onto my editing machine.
You don't.  In fact, I always recommend no special software is used.  Just Windows Explorer or Finder.  BUT...you do copy over the ENTIRE CARD.  Once on the hard drive, you do not delete, rename or otherwise alter the contents of any of those folders.
The dropped frames you're seeing are common when you do not copy over the entire card.  I am not aware of a fix.

  • Is there any way to log errors (dropped frames, specifically) to a file?

    I'm a brand new user of FCP and Apple. I'm performing some testing and I don't see a way to log errors to a file. Any suggestions?

    If you're experiencing dropped frames, dollars to doughnuts it's not an error in FCP but rather the fact that your scratch disk (the drive you're capturing to) isn't fast enough for the format you're capturing. It shouldn't be your startup disk in any event... FW drives are not fast enough for some formats, and internal SATA's aren't fast enough (at least just one of them) for uncompressed 10 bit or HD files... What are you capturing to, and which format are you capturing, DV?

  • Working with naming redundancy of MTS files

    I am new to working with MTS files in prelude and eventually Premiere and have a few questions about the proper workflow.  I would be very grateful for any wisdom.
    first off background on the project:
    - We have .mts files from several different consumer Vixia cameras
    - The cameras used the same naming convention for each card.  (starting with 000.mts working its way up).  These means we have several different .mts files, with the same name. 
    - The file structures were copied over directly from the cards, and therefore unchanged.  However, I still can't work with the metadata for some of the clips... and therefore suspect i need to transcode some of them. 
    My Questions:
    1.  Is it a problem that there is a redundancy in the naming of the .mts files, and that i will have several clips in the project with the same name?  All the clips are organized into a folder structure based on date and roll, so i'm not worried about the name redundancy when i'm actually editing.  I am worried that if the media gets disconnected Adobe won't know which clip to look for, and may try to reconnect the wrong clip with the same name.  Does Adobe reconnect based only of file name, or does it also look at the path?
    I'm scared if i change the file name, it will be hard to make sure the file name is changed across the folder structure, and therefore the native structure could be corrupted.
    What is a best practice workflow for working with .mts files with the same name in adobe? 
    2.  Alot of the footage is shot by non-professionals, who didn't know to break up clips.  Therefore, we have a lot  of "spanned" .mts files.  is there any solution to spanned files?  I've read in a previous forum that there is not, and that the only way to avoid the issue is to transcode.  Is that information still true?
    3. If i do have to transcode, what is the recommended codec?  I usually go with prores 4444, but that codec's file size is way too big for the amount of footage we have to go through.  Any suggestions?
    I would be so grateful if anyone can help on these questions!!

    Working with these AVCHD files just involves a bit of care and proper project management.
    eg Well named Source Folders (on local hard drives) and well named "rushes" Folders in your Premiere Project.
    Take care when importing/ ingesting to not overwrite the files at any point..
    No need to rename or transcode source files.
    Relocating / Relinking is not an issue.  (especially if you dont lose them in the first instance).
    If workflow involves additional pipelines  eg delivery via edl  to a Color Suite.
    Ensure timecode and source files are clearly set up in a manageable way.
    BTW - If one is able to shoot with control of timecode..its helpful.  eg Card 1 = 01:00:00:00, Card 2 =02:00:00:00 etc...

  • Dropped Frames PPro CS4  AVCHD MTS cards

    I just purchased a Panasonic AG-HMC40U video cam.  I am using a Sandisk 32GB extreme SDHC card.  I did a shoot where I shot for two one hour sessions turning the camera off once and then on again between the two sessions.  I have a Dell Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU  920@ 2.67GHz   12GB ram, 64 bit with Win 7 home edition.  I put the card into my computer and saved the complete set of files to a folder on the computer.The files on the card are divided up into 26 minute sections which seems odd since I turned the camera off and on only once during the session.    I import the stream files into Adobe CS4 Prem Pro.  What I notice is at the end of each segment there is a dropped audio and visual frame.  Not good when recording someone singing!  I can overlay the visual with shots from another camera but the audio is not replaceable in live shows.  This also happens with my other Canon Vixia...but I figured it was the camera..now I know its not.  It happens with other SDHC cards as well.
    I did take my card files to the store where I purchased my Panasonic and they had Mac Final Cut Pro.  They imported the segmented files into it and it came in as two (which was the amount they should be) and there were  no dropped frames.
    I am perplexed as to why this is happening. I am told by everyone so far that I had talked to that it is Adobe Prem Pro CS4 that is not inporting the files correctly.  Should I upgrade to CS5.5?  Will this correct the issue?  Help.

    if its just one "red" frame..at each "segment" , you can cut that one frame out when you see it. and it wont hurt your timing etc or sync...when sound and video is still linked. ( in other words that one frame is cut out for both video and sound)
    I tend to think its the fat32 thing ( mac ) vs NTFS ( pc ).  dont be bummed ...happens even with pro dailies and stuff from fcp and avid to dvd dailies and is just one of those things you can fix  ( cut the frame out ) ...pretty fast and easy to do.

  • Export Quicktime = stalling / frame rate / dropped frames

    Firstly this issue isn't news. It appears it has existed since 2002 at least on these forums and Apple has done nothing.
    Exporting to Quicktime:
    1) Keynote makes up what seem to be consistent random frame rates on export
    - Codec doesn't matter. Photo JPG, Intermediate, 8bit 422, H264
    - You can set the frame rate in export / custom / settings it doesn't matter
    - Having no video on a slide or having video on a slide doesn't change the problem...
    - The last two items do have more information to complete their story
    - If you do have a video on slide at say 25fps and export (at same rate) the random will stabilise
    but it will stabilise to something bizarre, such as 23.69.
    - So Keynote can wreck your frame rate it will drop frames, or even add frames while dropping
    others. It is deeply sophisticated in how it destroys stuff on export.
    Result
    - is a stuttering output if embed video on a slide with a wrecked frame rate
    - and a random frame rate if you don't have a video embed
    2) The video stalls between slides
    - Keynote seems to play a trick by making a single frame span multiple frames
    - At the start of the first slide this seems to vary. The first frame can be between 7 and 33
    frames depending on some strange internal logic only known to Keynote
    - Between slides it will hold the last frame of the exiting slide usually for 7 frames and hold
    the first frame of the entering slide for usually the same amount.
    - No amount of change to settings such as transition delay, adding a transition, self play etc
    will effect this stalling from what I can tell.
    - You can analyse the reality of the issue by dropping the resulting file into Quicktime 7 and
    changing the video window "time code" display to frames by clicking on it and single framing
    through the video. I have Quicktime Pro for the record.
    Notes:
    - I have every update installed and am running 10.6.2
    - I have tried it on two machines, one a clean build, server or client
    - Playing the presentation direct in Keynote does not present any of the noted issues
    - I have spent the better part of two weeks on the issue trying all sorts of combinations
    - Video of different frames rates, sizes, codecs. All useless, don't bother.
    Outcome:
    - Keynote is completely useless unless you just want to play a presentation in it
    - Dropped frames, stuttering video, stalling, mangled frame rates, fake frames
    Solutions that aren't:
    - One suggestion for video embeds is to enter a strange custom frame rate. For example a
    24fps original turns into a 23.69 export, if you up the frame rate to 24.3 the resulting export
    is 24fps.
    This is a truly hit and miss affair and will require a lot of testing to nail it. Unfortunately I
    tested the resulting video frame count in Quicktime against the original video and...
    The amount of frames is not the same. Part of my assumption is that the stalled pad frames
    are being considered by Keynote and it drops some frames to fake the same length, that at
    least -seems- to be part of the result, but it doesn't account for all the lost frames.
    - I have also tried just having one slide and exporting that. The same things happen regardless
    How Al Gore managed to make "inconvenient truth" using Keynote is a complete mystery. Maybe on Tiger with some old version it used to work, yet from the forums it would appear it has never worked. This piece of software is a clear case of "it just doesn't work"
    I hope you find this and stop hurting yourself trying to make this. I might hurt on a bit longer yet.

    I can't answer in detail (I started with version 6, which I haven't used in years, so don't know what v5 did) but... a general comment
    Software that old is very likely going to struggle trying to edit a VOB/MPG file copies from a DVD
    If you are digitizing by playing the DVD through a conversion device you should end up with DV AVI which should edit well
    Just what kind of files are you trying to edit?

  • Capture on the fly dropped frame aborted capture - clip gone forever???

    I foolishly set up my Macbook pro to capture the video feed live from an HVX200 camera via firewire... THE clutch interview for a client... Lo: what happens but halfway through the interview, capture aborts and error message reads "capture aborted due to dropped frames".
    It's an investigative journalism project, with a hostile interview subject, so no do-overs possible.
    Clip not showing up in capture scratch or anywhere else.
    My question is: has anyone had any luck rescuing an incomplete clip like this? The hard drive was churning, doing computerlike things, writing, so the information is there somewhere. It's just that the "pointers" or "handles" of the clip are gone. I know with IBM/Avid there's an attic where you can get to weird and/or incomplete files - is there anything like that with MAC/Final cut? Or is this setup "all or nothing"?
    Maybe someone knows about a program that can recover incomplete data, good for MAC?
    I know, shame on me for capturing straight to computer - I'll never do that again.
    thanks!
    Jeremy

    has anyone had any luck rescuing an incomplete clip like this?
    Nope. The file failed to complete...QT/FCP didn't get a chance to write the end code for the clip, so it is unusable.
    I know with IBM/Avid there's an attic where you can get to weird and/or incomplete files
    The ATTIC in Avid terms is the same as AUTOSAVE in FCP...it saves a backup of the project bins, not the media. Not sure about the IBM attic...
    I don't know of anyone having luck recovering a file that has been aborted like this. And this happens to more people that we'd like to see. Capturing one-of-a-time events straight to computer with no backup. Bombout.

  • Can't Get Rid of Dropped Frames in FCP 7

    Hello all,
    I am editing in FCP and have only gotten as far as laying down a music track (MP3), and some b-role. I have given myself some space at the beginning of the track, and as soon as the video kicks in I get the dropped frames message. There are no fancy edits or effects, just the video. It happens with both .MOV files taken with my Canon 7D, and with footage I had converted from .MTS.
    The RT drop-down menu in the timeline only offers the following options:
    Play Base Layer Only
    Use Playback Settings
    Full Quality
    I have gone into Playback Control under System Settings and adjusted the options to the following:
    RT: Safe
    Video Quality: Low
    Frame Rate: Quarter
    I am still receiving the dropped frame message. My footage is stored on a 500 GB external Rugged LaCie drive, and is connected using 8-pin FireWire. The footage is being edited in 1080. Everything is up to date.
    Much appreciation for your help.

    Thank you both for replying.
    I converted the audio file (but still getting the error message) to AIFF/16bit/48kHz using iTunes. I had converted the .MTS fils to .MOV with iSkysoft Converter to the following settings:
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Frame Rate: 23.97
    Bit Rate: High Quality
    Channel: 2 Channels stereo
    Sample Rate: 44100
    Bit Rate: Medium
    I did not convert any of the Canon files to Pro Res. What do I need to do with those files? and is there something I can do during capture to help save a step in post?
    Thanks again to you both!
    Warmest regards,
    ~Shawn

  • Dropped Frames During Playback, How Much Hardware Should I have

    I have a Mac Pro Dual Xeon 2.66 with 1 gig of ram and the Nvidia 256 meg card, I added a second hard drive which is a Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s and that is my scratch disk. I was trying to play a sequence that is from the tutorial disk in the Final Cut Pro 5 book by Diana Weynard. For those who know the book it is the "adding text" sequence from lesson 15.
    I can play most of the sequences on the book's dvd in real time fine except for this one. With this one as soon as I get to the clips that have a lot of audio channels as well as a lower third text effect I get the dropped frames message. I can render the whole sequence and watch the whole thing fine. Really my question is this: I thought having spent what I did on a mac pro that would be enough hardware power to play back almost anything in real time, but do I need something else like more memory or the faster ati video card to play back this "heavier" sequences?
    I've tried various solutions like deleting my pref file, reducing the number of real time audio mixing tracks to just 2. I even deleted the audio tracks in teh sequence so there were only 2 video tracks that had to play - a person speaking with just one outline video effect on the track above, and still it drops frames.
    Thanks.

    Some of those sequences are HD. A single 7200 rpm drive will only deliver one or two HD streams without choking. My 7200 rpm internals will only deliver 4 streams of DV before skipping. If I move some clips to another drive and segregate my render files to another drive I can get up to 6 DV streams but it's not reliable.
    Processing the audio requires significant overhead as does recovering the audio segments of the files. I rarely have more than 6 tracks open.Lowering the playback quality will increase the numbers of tracks you can play in realtime.
    History note: Older NLEs required audio and video to be captured to separate drives, unnecessary with DV.

  • Premiere cs6 drops in mts files

    hello
    when I am using a panasonic mts file 1440X1080 25i, I am getting a drop frames
    as you can see in this example
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ed-R8qMXBo&feature=youtu.be
    it's only occur in this file type, and as you can see its showing in the drop from another footage in the same project.
    when I am restarting premiere the drop disappear. and then shown in another place on the project.
    At first (when I start the project) everything work fine, but when the project become complex (multicam, and more.)  this bug starts appearing.
    Currently to overcome the problem I convert the files (with premiere) to JEPG then everything works properly.
    I'd love to hear responses on this strange problem.
    (And may whoever invented the damn file called MTS will Go to hell with pannsonic).

  • 1080p 29.97fps dropping frames

    Hey everyone.
    I can't quite figure out what it is I'm doing wrong here.
    I'm taking an AVCHD MTS file recorded at 1080i/30fps and converting it to 1080p/30fps with Adobe Media Encoder CS4 using the H.264 codec at 16Mbps.
    When I open the resulting MP4 file to edit in QT Pro or Premiere Pro CS4, I can't get it to play more than 8fps, it's dropping frames like crazy.
    I thought it might have been the encode, but if I upload the file to YouTube it plays just fine after processing (with the new option to choose 720p or 1080p).
    Previously I just converted the MTS files to 720p to upload to YouTube but now that YouTube supports 1080p, I'd like to take advantage of that but the fact that the video is so jumpy and dropping frames (not just in QT Pro, same in VLC and Adobe Premiere CS4) makes editing almost impossible.
    Anyone have any ideas how I can get smooth playback of 1080p content? Am I possibly doing something wrong during the encode (I don't think that's it since it plays smoothly once uploaded to YouTube)?
    Also, I have 1080p trailers from Apple saved that run just fine (albeit at 24fps).
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S., having this problem on two Macs of mine, specs below:

    This can easily give one a false sense of security. Playing a file is vastly different than editing that same file, even though the necessary CODEC's are installed. Players can handle the GOP structure easily. With an NLE, the GOP's are reconstructed so that everything is I-frame for the frame-by-frame editing. This is ton more work for the CPU. Depending on the actual structure, this can be 7x to 30x more work.
    Good luck,

    That's good to know but I'm having this frame rate problem playing files encoded with Adobe Media Encoder in stand-alone players as well.

  • OK, Dropped frames due to firewire+external hard drive+camcorder?

    I have an iMac 2.4GHz , 1G Memory (I know this is less than ideal). I have a Firelite Smartdisk 120G plugged into iMac firewire. I am daisychaining my CanonZR500 into the external drive. When I capture video I have lots of dropped frames.
    Anyone tell me why? Do I need a better external drive?
    Thanks

    Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
    Before we go any farther -
    • You should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
    • Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method. Do a quick search here on the site - it is mentioned daily if not hourly.
    With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct ... the most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. If you are working with HDV, you may have other issues ...
    Beyond that, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
    1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
    2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCIe), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 34) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
    3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
    • shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
    • connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
    • start the camera then the computer
    • capture to your internal (system) hard drive
    • shut down the camera and computer
    • disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
    • start hard drive(s) and computer
    • move captured files to external hard drive(s)
    • edit
    If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
    • copy the file back to the internal drive
    • shut everything down
    • disconnect the external drive(s)
    • connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
    • start the camera then the computer
    • play the file.
    One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
    All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
    There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
    Good luck.

  • Dropped Frames During Playback

    So I'm new to Final Cut Studio and have been trying to ingest footage from a SANYO digital file based camcorder. It records in several HD modes including full 1080i and in MPEG-4 file form. I've had trouble getting the files into Final Cut on my MacBook Pro and editing without constantly having frames dropped. I'm not sure what to do. Is it a problem with my computer (which is brand-spanking new)? Also, I get a warning when trying to Log and Transfer the footage telling me I have un-supported media. Any insight I can get on the issue would be excellent.

    FCP works best when the media you're importing or capturing matches the Sequence settings. Check your Sequence settings in FCP and see if they exactly match the settings of the clips you're trying to use. If they don't match, it may be best to convert them to match PRIOR to importing them, or use Sequence settings that match the clips.
    FWIW, when you get dropped frames during playback, it's an indication that the effort to read and display the clips is exceeding the ability of your system. This can be due to a number of things or a combination of things. Some of the conditions that can contribute to the problem are (in no particular order):
    • data throughput problems due to hard drive connection, buss speed or drive speed
    • using media made with a codec that isn't fully supported in FCP
    • using corrupted media files
    • RT settings not right for your system
    There are other conditions as well, but those are the most common.

    I was wondering why is frame rate of the video drops when I open the context menu, the playback seems to go down as much as 5fps, and it goes back to normal when the context menu is closed.
    Thanks in advance.

    lghtanddrk, if you send me a link to your AVCHD MTS file, I can trying exporting it as a MOV file and see if I get the same issue. For me QT seems to be slowing no matter what HD file I give it.
    What camera did you use to shoot your footage and how big is the AVCHD file? What's the data rate of your MP4/H.264 file? Again, if it's possible to get some of your MP4 footage, I can check if I have problems playing it.
    I have two partions on my machine: one is WinXP SP2 without the updates and QT7.3.1 (for Avid XPress Pro) and the other has WinXP SP3 with all the updates and QT7.6.4 (I think that's the latest one). So, I can try on both to see if there are issues.
    When you export as DV AVI, are you exporting as a SD (720x480?). I know that HD is square pixels and SD is non-square. The HD is 16x9 and the SD is 4:3. You could try and export your AVI as 720x540 square pixels or 720x480 non-square i.e. NTSC (CCIR 601) or try exporting as 854x480 square pixels to give your original 16x9 widescreen at SD resolution. I haven't looked at this stuff for a while, so, I'm kind of guessing here!
