After PreRend. - Last frame of a clip is copied into the first 2 frames o. t. following clip

Hey Guys - Michi here,
and I am dealing with a horrible problem!
I just got rid of Premiere CS6 (Where I was dealing with the same problem) and got the new Version of Premiere. I really love it!
Heres the Problem I am dealing with:
Everytime i've finished a sequence i go to:
Sequence -> Render Section.
Then the Rendering Window pops up and PR CC does his job.
But when replaying the prerenderes section i noticed something.
I zoomed that much into timeline so i was able to see every frame of the clip - because the play back seemed kind of OffBeat to me. And the thing that happend to every clip that was directly laying beside another clip - so there was no space between them - was, that after the PreRendering Premiere CC (and CS6 DID THE SAME) copied the last frame of the clip into the frist two frames of the following clip - so the are reeeeally tiny "still" pictures between every transitions. -> And that means, that the clip that is shown in the "Program Window" - Monitor in which you can preview the PreRenderes Video - doesn't change to the beat I've edited it on, BUT it changes 2 frames later!!
Here are some screenshots:

http://up.picr.de/16781443wz.jpg     Pic 4
http://up.picr.de/16781445al.jpg       Pic 5
In Pic. 1 you can see, that the Marker (the red thin bar) in the Timeline is laying on the last frame of the clip on the left - the clip is called GoPro2130.MP4 (120%).
If i move the marker now over the the first frame of the clip called GoPro2130 (114.99%) the preview should change - but there is still the frame that was shown in the preview window at Pic.1
Now i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic. 3) - The same frame that is shown in Pic. 1 & 2 is still on the preview window.
NOW i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic 4 - 3rd frame of the new clip) AND NOW the clip finally changes although the clip should have changed 3 frames before..
ITS HORRIBLE!! I really dont know what to do..
Sorry for the huge text and the bad english (Student from Germany).
You guys are my last hope.
Regards, Michi.

Thanks for your suggestion about using the clip markers. I tried them on a test clip. They did not come down to the timeline. Besides, I would want them labeled. Right now all my clips have a marker that is labeled with the date and location. The chapter markers are labeled the same way. I have a spread sheet that list the dates of all the Chapter Markers which connect to the dates on the menu. This seems like an old fashion way to do things for such a sophisticated software. Maybe I should put in a feature suggestion to Adobe. I would do that, but I am afraid that I may embarrass myself as being the only one that ever asked for something like that. Or they would accuse me of misusing their software.
Again, thanks for your suggestion.

Is there a way to directly connect/group a chapter marker to the first frame of a clip?

I have over 6 hours of SD clips on my timeline.   I ended up having to add more clips throughout the timeline.   I was able to "group" the titles to their respecttive clips so I don't have to deal with moving them when I move their clip.   Now I am curious to know if there is a way to link the Chapter Markers to the first frame of their respective clips so that when I move the clip, so the Chapter Marker moves with it?
BTW, I know it is best to put the Chapter Markers in last b4 I go on to Encore.   While I was working in Encore I realized it would be more meaningfull to create and add several After Effects "AVI" files between several of my clips.   This work in progress would be a lot easier if I did not have to keep re-adjusting the Chapter Markers everytime I modified the timeline.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How do I loop back from the first frame to the last frame?

Hi there,
I'm currently working on the framework for a product viewer.
I have:
a movie clip called 'viewer_mc' which contains the images take from different angles of the product. The actionscript generates a script on the last frame of this that returns it to frame 1.
a button instance called 'autoplay_btn' which plays through the movie clip from whatever the current frame is, and stops on frame 1.
a left and right button which serve to move the movie clip frame, to give the appearance that the product is rotating.
I have succeeded in getting it to:
have the movie clip play through once, return to frame 1 and stop.
have the buttons return functions when held down, that move the frame in the movie clip using nextFrame and prevFrame commands. The right button successfully loops round to frame 1 and continues functioning to give the appearance of continual rotation.
The last problem I am experiencing is getting the left button to act in the corresponding manner, going from the first frame to the last and continuing to function.
Here is my actionscript so far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
1. This is the part that gets it to play through once before returning to the first frame. I think perhaps the problem I am experiencing is because of the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' part i.e. although I'm holding the left button, its returning to this script and therefor getting bounced back immediately to the first frame. However, there is no flicker on the screen which you might expect if this were the case
Note - as this is a generic product viewer which I can use as a template I am using lastFrame etc. as opposed to typing the value in
function toStart (){
          viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
2. This is the functionality for the autoplay_btn that will play through a rotation / return the viewer to the initial (frontal) view of the product (frame 1).
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
          var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
          viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
3. This is the functionality of the right button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the next frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'nextFrame' command. It loops back round to the first frame due to the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' script generated on the last frame of the movie clip, as is desired.
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
    viewer_mc.nextFrame();
4. This is the functionality of the left button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the prev frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'prevFrame' command. And this is where the problem lies, as although it works for getting the movieclip back to frame 1, it does not loop round to the last frame and continue functioning, as is wanted.
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
I'd imagine it is probably my logic for this part that is really letting me down - I can do a similar function in actionscript 2, but am trying to learn actionscript 3 just to move with the times as it were, and struggling a bit. Still this is only a few days in!
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
          if(thisFrame==1){
                    gotoAndStop(viewer_mc.totalFrames-1);
          } else{
          viewer_mc.prevFrame();
Any help you can give me would be gratefully received. For an example of the effect I am trying to achieve with the autoplay button etc. I recommend:

Thanks for getting back to me.
Here's the code without my comments / explanations:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
function toStart (){
          viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
//last image of viewer_mc = first image of viewer_mc
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
          var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
          viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
    viewer_mc.nextFrame();
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);//while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
          viewer_mc.prevFrame();
The definition of the rotateLeft function is where the problem lies I think - I've taken out my poor attempts at doing the logic from the previous post. If I were to write it out long-hand the statement I want to write is: 'If you get to frame 1 and function rotateLeft is called go to the end of the movie clip'.
The reason I have to use the viewer_mc.totalFrames-1 definition in the addFrameScript call is the addFrameScript function is 0 based i.e. if you want to call frame 1 of the movieclip you have to return a value of 0 in the addFrameScript (or such is my understanding of it anyway). As such, the last image in the movie clip will need to be the view obtained at 360 degree rotation, which is of course the same view as at 0 degree rotation. As a consequence, the last frame in the movie clip is superfluous for the user, but necessary for the overall effect to be achieved. And, in addition, to keep up the effect of a 360 degree view when the rotateLeft function is called it needs to skip that last frame to go to the lastFrame-1 (or totalframes-1), or in other words, the view of the image prior to completing the full 360 rotation.
the variables thisFrame and lastFrame are defined at the very top of the script. Like you said they might need to be defined or called on again elsewhere.

How can I see the first frame of a clip in the Event Library

I slate my shots for a reason, but when I am looking in the Event Library I see a random frame a couple of seconds in to the clip instead of the first frame, how can I set it so I can see the first frame?
Thanks in advance

Switch to filmstrip view and zoom in.

Rotoscoping - it only roto's the first frame

What I have done:
Created a video clip with my Canon GL2 featuring a person against a bright background.
I then used Adobe Premier CS5 to create an AVI of the sequence. (called it ROTO4.avi)
I then opened CS5 After Effects, imported the clip into the composition timeline.
I then changed the framerate of the composition to 59.94 (cause a previous attempt told me to do so).
I then went under LAYER and Open New Layer.
I then clicked the TOP rotobrush icon (can't find another one anywhere) and began outlining my subject and de-outlining the background. I have a perfect pink line around my subject (on frame1).
I then drag the timeline bar and it creates the (mask?) on the first frame only and no subsequent frames.
I switch to composition view and sure enough the first frame is beautiful (subject complete, background now a black screen), but no other frames are generated rotoscooped.
Arghhh, I've been at this for about an hour and only first frame is ROTO'd.
Help?
Montie

Montie - this is the line that I have the most suspicion about:
I then drag the timeline bar.
What exactly are you dragging?
The recommended way to engage Rotobrush at this point is to press Page Down to move forward a frame, or press the spacebar to begin preview, not to jump to the end of your footage. Rotobrush only analyzes frames under the playhead, and only frames that are inside a span of time near the base frame you drew the strokes on. So if you move the playhead beyond the span it won't have any frames to analyze.
This is what a Rotobrush span looks like. The span is the gray area with < and > arrows, the base frame is the yellow mark, and the analyzed frames are the green marks extending from the base frame mark.
Read here about base frames and spans.
To me it sounds like you are expecting Rotobrush to do all the work magically when you go to the end of your footage, and that's not the case. It needs to analyze each frame, and you need to keep an eye on the analysis because Rotobrush isn't actually magic, it's just some very cool math.
Note the part in that document about the default span length: 20 frames forward and 20 frames backward. The reason for the short length is because the farther you get from a base frame the larger the probability for inaccuracies. As you move forward through each frame, check for inaccuracies and draw new strokes as necessary. Each time you draw a stroke, a new base frame is created and the span is extended. If you happen to have a sequence of 20 frames that don't need corrections, you can extend the length of the span and continue. (You could extend the span to the entire length of your clip, but you still need to pay attention to the analysis and make corrections.)
I hope that helps.

How can I get an image or clip in front of the first transition with auto transition on?

I have been trying to set up a project using auto transitions. I cannot get a clip to start before the first transition. The problem is when I post the project to Smugmug or FaceBook the preview box that appears is black. I want it to show the first frame of the clip to give an indication of the content of the clip. The only option seems to be to turn off automatic transitions and manually put them it at each break.
Any ideas?

What program was the artwork created in and what version of Illustrator are you using? ALWAYS provide this information first so we know what features you have available.
If everything is native Illustrator artwork, then you can probably copy the portion of the paw you want outside the circle and use a PathFinder command to merge that shape with the circle, then put the resultant shape behind the artwork.

My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the Apple Store, 73 minutes delay on my appointment the Genius tech tells me I should leave my device for further checks in the store and come back in a week or two. Not presicely the answer I was looking for, plus he did not have any device to lend me until my iPhone was checked. Quite dissapointed, Apple was standard for quality on customer satisfaction, in the last 10 years I bought 3 MacBooks, 5 iPdas, 7 iPods, 5 iPhones and 2 iMACs... please don't let me down. [email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]

Dear Ocean, one is a complaint about the quality of the device.
The second about the quality on response from Customer Service.
No worries, I'll delete both post since it seems that won't bring anything productive.
Good bye Apple!

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?

To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back.

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

JPopupMenu in one frame is not closing while clicking on the another frame

Hi friends,
I have a web application which is manily applet oriented. I have two frames in the page on which i have loaded separate applets. One on the left side an the other on the right side. I have implemented a popup using JPopUpMenu in the left hand side applet in response to mouse pressed event. But when i am clicking on the right side frame which is having the other applet loaded the pop up still remains the same in the first frame. It's not going away. How can I solve this issue ?
Pls help me out in this regard.

If you dont find anything specific, a lot of the problems i
encounter like this are because one little thing is spelled wrong.
like it doesnt match whats in your php file, ect. my suggestion,
though a long one, if you know its supposed to work, and theres no
syntax error, re type it, not copy and paste, and just be careful.
keep tripple checking. you might not even find what was spelled
wrong, but it might fix the situation,

Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

How to get a snapshot of the first frame inside application.onPublish?

Hi there!
application.onPublish = function (client, p_stream)
//How to get a snapshot of the first frame and save it to a specified directory?
//Or post the snapshot image to a specified URI for restoring?
Anyone knows how to do this ?
Regards!

This can be accomplished 2 ways that i know of ffmpeg and PHP with the php way flash takes a snapshot of the videoframe and then sends it PHP to be saved as a jpeg....with the ffmpeg way you simply batch process the entire directory holding the flv wich is external to flash although this can also be automated using PHP........I can send you a package containing both methods but installation will be up to you.............unless you wanted to pay me to help. I'm busy and can't do probono work right now.
