Add frame hold and export frame

hi
i'm working on HD broadcast cartoon animation.
'add frame hold' and 'export frame' are not creating a 2 field, proper frame hold for me - yes i can tweak the field options using 'always deinterlace' or 'flicker removal' but this isnt a fix or a true result of a 'frame freeze'.
is this a bug or am i missing something?
thanks
Joe

Is your timeline interlaced?

Add Frame Hold lost timecode source information

I've got a huge problem with the Add Frame Hold dunction in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 release (Also Mac or Windows)
Here is my workflow
All the footages are shot with an Arri Alexa and converted in Quicktime ProRes LT 1080p25 with timecode conservation from source (verified)
I'm editing a 4 mins music video in stop motion style. The video footage are freezed on precise pictures in Premiere with the Add frame hold function
For example : Add frame hold at 10:03:27:16 on the media source
When I play this frame hold in the timeline, with Timecode Overlay turned ON, the timecode is running...
So if I trim the IN point or OUT point of this clip to adjust the duration of the freeze frame, I lost the original timecode reference of my freeze frame !!
(In this example, I've adjusted the IN and OUT point of my freezed clip to shorten the clip). The video displayed is OK (the same image that has been frozen) but the timecode overlay is not (10:03:31:19)
The BIG problem is that this full project is going to be conformed for color grading (Assimilate Scratch) so is IMPOSSIBLE for me to relink my editing with the original ALEXA footage.
It seems to be a huge bug !
Anyone from Adobe tech has got a solution or a workaround to let met find the original timecode from each frozen shot ?
I've tried to open the project XML (unzip the prproj file the open it in a xml editor). I've found bunch of <frameholdstart> sections but the numbers does not correspond to regular timecodes or numbers of frame or whatever. Is there any way to convert theses numbers into regular timecodes ?
Please Adobe techs help me. My project is stuck into Premiere for the moment and I cannot send it to the color grading crew.
Thank you

HD DV exporting drops or adds frames

I finished 4 minutes video in HD DV it looks great after rendering. Exporting to NTSC 720X480 or HD DV it creates drops frame or add frames sort 5 frames looping. I notices esspecially right after dissolve transition.
What is wrong, Thanks,

After spending about 6 hours I found the problem, but thanks for trying to help.
This is for everyone out there, who are or will be facing this problem. The major thing what causes the frame skip or adding frames is FCP 5.14 compressor. The solution here is to use the compressor2. I tried it and it worked great.
The second solution export Quick time using the existing settings un-check self contain movie. Than open the SD project and drop the exported movie into the timeline. The scale will be 50%.
I wonder if FCP 6.0 solved this.

Indesign CS3 text frame parameters and export PDF

could use some help with the following:
I need to edit and export a large number (7000) Indesign documents (one page)
1. check for locked text frames and unlock
2. group all text frames
3. set grouped text frames at x=8 millimeters, y 10 milimeters
4. export the documents to PDF in a subfolder called "Out"
5. save and close the documents in the same subfolder as an Indesign CS3 document (orig is CS2)
This is what I've been trying soo far:
Now only checking one text frame - should be all text frames
"close document 1 saving yes" doesn't work because the originals are from CS2
I get a PDF called "Adobe Indesign SC3"
set processFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder that contains Innd Docs to process"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists folder "OUT" of processFolder) then
make new folder at processFolder with properties {name:"OUT"}
end if
set the destination_folder to folder "OUT" of processFolder as alias
end tell
tell application "Finder"
try
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias list
on error
set listFiles to (files of contents of processFolder) as alias as list
end try
repeat with thisFile in listFiles
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
with timeout of 120 seconds
activate
set properties of view preferences to {horizontal measurement units:millimeters, vertical measurement units:millimeters, ruler origin:page origin}
open thisFile
set myDoc to document 1
set docName to name
tell myDoc
set transform reference point of layout window 1 to top left anchor
set myBox to text frame 1 of page 1
set properties of myBox to {locked:false}
move myBox to {8, 10}
end tell
export document 1 format PDF type to (destination_folder as string) & docName & ".pdf" using PDF export preset "[Drukwerkkwaliteit]" without showing options
close document 1 saving yes
tell application "Finder" to move thisFile to destination_folder with replacing
end timeout
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end
end
Any help is greatly appreciated - Doing this manually is a lot of work!!!!!

You're asking for the name of the application, not the document -- you need to do it after your "tell myDoc". You could also get the name from the alias you open, rather than the open document, something like: repeat with thisFile in listFiles set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"} set docName to text item -1 of (thisFile as Unicode text) set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims You should also move your "set properties of view preferences" line to after your "tell myDoc". -- Shane Stanley <[email protected]>

Isolate single frame and export as a still?

Any pointer to a workflow to take a single frame from video clip in PPRO and export it into a format for printing a still photo?

Don't feel too bad. Exporting a Still was not always so easy, and in early versions of CS4, was a real pita. Luckily, Adobe listened to the Feature Requests, and instituted the general method used in its "little brother" program, PrElements, which had that (or very similar) icon for many versions.
Good luck, and glad that Ann pointed you to the right spot.

Load RData and export data.frame

Hi
I've been carefully following the related "Using RData in Azure ML" post, but I still cannot extract and export the data.frame with an R script module.
My RData file (called FINAL_REF.RData) was locally zipped and loaded as a .zip file to my workspace
I've connected the zip file (called FINAL_REF.zip) to the 3rd port of the R script module
Knowing that my data.frame (named "FINAL_REF") is the only element in the RData file, I've included this simple code in the module:
 test1: load("src/FINAL_REF.rdata"); maml.mapOutputPort("FINAL_REF");
 test2: df <- load("src/FINAL_REF.rdata"); maml.mapOutputPort("df");
But none of them worked:
 I get a "Error 0063: Mapped variable must be of class type data.frame at this time." for test1
 I get a "Error 1000: RPackage library exception: Reading output R workspace failed" for test2
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi
The output shows clearly all data.frame columns, at the end it shows the following message
DllModuleHost Error: 1 : Program::Main encountered fatal exception: Microsoft.Analytics.Exceptions.ErrorMapping+ModuleException: Error 1000: RPackage library exception: Reading output R workspace failed ---> Microsoft.Analytics.Modules.R.ErrorHandling.RException: Reading output R workspace failed ---> System.Text.DecoderFallbackException: Unable to translate bytes [B5] at index -1 from specified code page to Unicode.
Module finished after a runtime of 00:01:43.8298727 with exit code -2
Module failed due to negative exit code of -2
Some fields are strings (song, artist, and album names), so I guess there might be some "weird" characters there ... is it the root cause ? can I locally change these columns to Unicode with R?

Add frames in After Effects CS3

I need to add frames to multiple layers of a composition. Is this possible? I have done it in flash by interning frames but i cant see anything similar in AE?

Try looking in the composition settings for comp length. Video footage may be looped and this is found under file interpretation. You can change the length of a solid or a still layer by simply clicking and dragging or you can set in and out point with the Alt/Option plus one of the square bracket keys. IOW Alt (windows) or Ctrl (mac) + ] to set a new out point at the CTI (current time indicator).
This basic stuff is in the help files.

How to add frames to timeline/ movieclip using AS3?

Is it possible to add frames to main timeline or inside a
movieclip by code written in AS3.

Yes. Never use frames.
You cannot make a template from a frameset file. The best you
could do
would be to have a separate template for each individual
frame. That would
be unthinkably silly, though.
The decision to use or not use frames should be based on a)
your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

I am using photos . I add a camera and make my photos slide in. How do I add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out. I want the photo to hold on the screen for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out.

I am using photos in Motion 5. I add a camera and make my photo slide in. How do i add a second behavior to the photo to make it slide out? I want the photo to hold for a few seconds in between sliding in and sliding out. When I am trying to do this I am not getting the photo to hold, i am making one continuous motion which I do not want.
Thanks

Are you using the "motion path" behavior? If so just duplicate it and drag it down the timeline to where you want it to start. Trim it to end at the end of the project. The gap you leave in the timeline between the two behaviors is your hold time. Not sure why you are using a camera unless you have a behavior on the camera.If you are using keyframes just set two keyframes at the same position values in the inspector for the hold time.

How can you add your own print and export buttons to the CR viewer toolbar?

I posted a previous question that was asking how to get around the Information Bar in IE7 when you export and print. Unfortunately the CR viewer file download code gets blocked by IE7 because the buttons don't directly download the file. However, I have been able to get a regular button that calls the following code and streams the file to the client and IE7 does not block it.
Sub PrintPDF(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
 Dim crReportDocument as ReportDocument
 Dim crExportOptions as ExportOptions
 Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions as DiskFileDestinationOptions
 Dim Fname as string
 CrReportDocument = New ReportDocument()
 CrReportDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("estactionlist.rpt"))
 Fname = Server.MapPath("./") & Session.SessionID.ToString & ".pdf"
 CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
 CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = FName
 CrExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
 With crExportOptions
 .DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions
 .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
 .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
 End With
 CrReportDocument.Export()
 Response.ClearContent()
 Response.ClearHeaders()
 Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=test.pdf")
 Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
 Response.Charset = ""
 Response.WriteFile(Fname)
 Response.Flush()
 Response.Close()
 System.IO.File.Delete(Fname)
End Sub
So here are my questions?
1. Is it possible to add a custom print control/icon to the CR viewer toolbar?
2. If one is not possible, then is it possible to override the CR viewer print and export buttons with your own subroutines like the one above?
I just want my page to look nice and hate to have print and export buttons outside of my CR viewer.
Thanks,
Kevin

It might be possible to replace the buttons in a windows app since you can retrieve the toolbar as a toolbar object in the winform viewer ( ToolStrip toolBar = (ToolStrip) crystalReportViewer1.Controls[3]; ) however with a web app, it's a lot more difficult.
The problem is that that you need to parse the Request string to try and figure out if the print / export button was clicked. The code below makes the print button disappear if you click it, so you should be able to modify it to call your custom printing / exporting code instead (You have to do this check in a postback)
 Dim I As Integer = 0
 If Request.Form.AllKeys.Length > 0 Then
 For I = 0 To Request.Form.AllKeys.Length - 1
 Response.Write(Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString & " ")
 If Request.Form.Keys(I).ToString = "CrystalReportViewer2:_ctl2:_ctl2.x" Then
 CrystalReportViewer2.HasPrintButton = False
 End If
 Next
 End If

Can the screen be cropped to and exported at a custom aspect ratio?

I think I'm needing Premier to do something it's just not designed to do. What I need to do is to take five or six different screen and audio captures of the same event (a 3D virtual reality instructional session), each representing a different person's view of that event, assemble those in a split screen, synchronize them to the designated "main" capture's audio, delete the other audio tracks, and add CG title labeling each one. The effect is like looking at a display showing six security camera images. From what I can determine, it is possible to do those things in Premier.
However, what I then need to do is to crop out any extra space to the left and right of that split-screen image and export the file as a .mov with the aspect ratio produced by the cropping so that the videos are as large as possible and are not distorted from resizing them to fit the standard aspect ratio. Depending on the size of the screencaps, the resulting .mov might have nearly a 1:1 ratio. What is critical for this is that the video be as large as possible and the "black" space be as small as possible so that the person who comes in later to analyze these composite videos can see everything as clearly as possible. I also need to crop on the fly; because these images aren't always captured at the same size, it is impossible to preset a size for the resulting video.
We've been using a screen capture tool to do this that works but is a pain; clips can only be moved and resized by mouse-drags, and the software has to import to and export from its own proprietary format, which is very slow. However, ever piece of "real" video editing software I've looked at only seems to export in TV or film aspect ratios. Quicktime Pro looked for a bit like the best bet, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple audio tracks (which are necessary since I have to synchronize tracks by ear much of the time).
Is what I'm describing--exporting .mov files while preserving custom aspect ratios that are created by cropping during editing--something Premier can do? If so, would it be something fairly easy for complete novices to do?

medeamajic wrote:
On a Mac based system ScreenFlow might work best but on the PC side FRAPS might work best. You can do what you want to do with Premiere Pro once you record the screen capture. As Stephen_Spider mentioned you might need to crop and even resize the images. FRAPS can record at 1/4 the screen resolution and still have decent results. PP CS 5.5 can play several layers (6 PIPs) of the FRAPS codec at 1/4 resolution in realtime.
Thanks, but we cannot change the screen recording process. According to the study's protocols, the virtual world has to be full-screen or almost nearly so during the session, and that full screen has to be captured for analysis. Resizing the screen captures is not a problem (especially since I already said I'm doing that), but if you're saying that Premier can only play back up to six screen captures simultaneously if they're captured at 1/4 screen, then that's a deal-breaker right there.
By the way, here's approximately what each of the completed composite videos looks like:
Screencap 1
Screencap 2
Screencap 3
Screencap 4
Screencap 5
Screencap 6
Each screencaptures is resized to the largest consistent size that will fit into this format, and then the resulting video is cropped to the outside border. If there are only five screencaptures, I simply center the single one on the bottom on the "center line."
And, to be clear (though I've said this several times already), this is something that is already being done. We probably have more than 60 of these .mov files, each around 45 minutes long, with five or six synchronized screen captures in each. Frame rate etc. has not been any issue with these, and neither has playback of the .mov file from HD or DVD.

Adding logo with Alpha channel to Quicktime and exporting as .mp4

I'm adding a PNG file with alpha channel to my existing movie file using "Add to Selection and Scale".
I then have my movie with the overlayed graphic.
When I then Export as an mp4, the alpha channel is ignored!
Any help, anyone?

Yes it looks perfect in Quicktime.
But for some reason I can't save it as anything else or even export a still frame without the alpha being ignored and the image going all fuzzy.

Confused about import and export formats

I have a load of 8mm video footage that I want to archive before the old camera dies. As a first step I have used my DVD/HDD recorder attached to my TV to save the footage from the camera, do a little bit of editing and then burn onto DVD at the highest quality available. Doing this I can get 60 mins of footage onto each DVD and the quality is a good as the original. I now want to play with a few of these by importing into iMovie 09 so that I can add a few titles and link clips together with a few transitions. Nothing too complicated. Here's where I get a bit lost with all the formats available to me for importing and exporting. What's the best way of doing this? Having read around a bit it looks like conversion to DV is good for getting into iMovie in the first place. To do this I have tried using MPEG Streamclip and it looks OK, but what about all of the settings options DV25, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50, frame blending, downscaling etc etc no idea what any of this means. Then having added a few bits and pieces, what's the best way of saving it again to make sure that I keep the quality as high as possible - DV? Ultimately I'd like to have the edited movies back on DVDs with the footage quality the same as I started with i.e. no compression artefacts. If I save the final version in DV format I could then keep copies to view with Quicktime and then do I just use iDVD or MPEG Streamclip to convert to a format playable on a DVD player. Is there any guide somewhere as to what all of the different formats are for pro.s cons etc. Also confused as to why files get bigger and bigger e.g. a 20min clip on a DVD is about 1.5GB, but when converted to DV becomes almost 5GB. I can understand how compression makes files sizes smaller, but what's happening here??

A Quick Time .mov movie can play on any PC as log as they have the Quicktime player
free http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
To do it, open iMovie, pick you project, then "Share to Media Browser" and pick the "HD" setting. It can take hours/movie depending on their length. Once it is done you can find it inside the iMovie project's file. TO get there, go to Users Folder -> your User name folder -> Movies -> iMovie projects -> and find the project that you made the movie from. Right click on that file (or use the control key as you click on the file) and you will see a menu -> Show Package contents -> Movies and your 720p .mov movie will be in that Movie folder. you can drag it to your desktop and copy it to your external HD or flash drive.
