All frames dropped?

While exporting the film to my external HD, the usb port lost contact so the process was cut. But when reopening previously saved material all I get is a horrible sound and no images.
The message says: "One or more frames were dropped during playback, if this occurs freqeuntly try ...." I have the RT on dynamic, closed other sequences. Don't know how to lower the compression rate but I have the feeling that nothing of that will help since all frames seems dropped.
Anyone got any clue?
Yours dewjack

I just needed to restart FCE and then the saved versions worked just fine.

  • All included(exept frame drops)

    Hi all,
    since i ve been told i was in the wrong forum by some ubber poster, here i go again.
    I did my 1st ever music video only using my mc book pro. (i actually forgot my external hard drive to do my normal job as a musician).
    it was actually pretty fun to do both video and music only with the webcam and the built in mike of the laptop.
    I only used what was in the machine, no outboard gears, goin' back and forth between I Movie and logic pro, after recording thru photo booth.
    there:
    http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDigitalwarz?feature=mhum
    i still had a problem though: frame drop between i movie and logic.
    (meaning i was not on the same clock lock everytime)
    it costed me lots of time relocking the 'beat'.
    Any Ideas?
    Cheers

    FWIW, posting in the right forum will mean that more people that are familiar with your software applications will see your post, thereby increasing your chances of getting proper advice in a timely manner.
    And since you're using iMovie, you should probably post this question in the appropriate iMovie forum - they are located here: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=141
    That said, if you had been using one of the Pro video apps (FCE or FCP) the answer would probably be to make sure the format, audio sampling rate and bit depth of the audio matches that of the Sequence settings. In most cases it would be AIFF, 48khz, 16 bit. However, iMovie works completely different from the Pro apps so that may not make a difference.

  • Add static background image to all frames of gif animation

    First, I'm not a fireworks regular. I use it when I have to to get something done (mostly web optimazations). I would use it more but, frankly in many cases the UI is counter intuitive to everything else adobe makes.
    Here is my problem...
    I need to add (not replace) a static background to ALL existing frames(states) in a fireworks gif animation (with alpha) , the end product gif will be an element in the Edge web animation...details
    I have an animated seq of a rotating object that was created in 3ds max and rendered as a png seq with alpha.
    I opened the SEQ "as animation" in fireworks. I set the frame rate. It plays fine. So far so good....
    I imported an image that I want to be BEHIND the animated seq on ALL frames. I tried puting it on a sub layer behind, i tried puting it on it's own layer behind, but it ONLY shows on the first frame (state).
    I tried using "share with all states" but it replaces the SEQ images already on the "states" instead of adding it behind them like in the arrangement of the layers.
    So first, can this be done and if so how?
    Second, why is this process so counter intuitive in fireworks? I mean if a layer is behind something then it should be a simple button click or check box etc to say "show on all frames (states)", you know like any other product adobe makes. Even "image ready" made more sense than this.  My thought process was that since I needed to end up in fireworks to create and optimize the gif that i should be able to put it together there also but it's turning out to be a lot harder than it should. I guess I can just composite my elements in AE (which is a piece of cake compared to fireworks) and then render another SEQ that I import to fireworks to create the optimized gif. While I'm a fan of the "creative suite" concept, one of my biggest complaints about the "suite" is the lack of master oversite so the common functions, keyboard shortcuts, and fundimental UI concepts are consitant accross all the apps so it functions as a "suite" and not just a collection of seperate applications. I know that demanding that all applications follow certian rules would slow development, in the long run it would make it a lot easier for the end user to spend more time being "creative" and less time trying to figure out why something doesn't work like it does in all the other apps. Just my $.02
    Thanks for any help and or explaination
    Joel H

    Thanks for the response.
    You know I tried that exact thing the only difference being I didn't change the layer names. So not naming the layers would keep that from working ?? Also as you eluded to draging layers to position them in fireworks is a delicate operation. It always seems to take 2 or 3 times to get it to drop where you want it. I named the layers and it works as you said.  Unfortunately I was really pressed for time so I had already given up on fireworks and just composited the SEQ with the BG layer in AE and kicked out another PNG SEQ and then open that "as animation" in Fireworks and then optimized and exported as a gif. So there are allways several ways to do things.
    Thanks again,
    Joel H

  • Transitions double 1st frame/drop last frame: a solution

    I have found that Transitions in iMovie 5 are problematic. The first frame in a Transition doubles and the last frame drops out. This is not noticeable in a slideshow but can be very noticeable in an exported video.
    Transitions cannot be edited frame by frame unless one exports video out to a camera and then imports it back into iMovie. The original clips and transitions are now seamless clips. One can delete extra frames and then find and import the missing frames from original sources. HOWEVER, this process is incredibly frustrating and time consuming.
    THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING.
    To avoid the above, I thought I would add textless Titles over a few key clips and transitions where the glitching is most obvious. I had noticed that Titles longer than the clip they were inserted into, merge together the clip with its transition and following clip.
    i.e.,
    1. DEselect 'Over black' in the titles window.
    2. Select a title format and then a length longer than the 'glitched' transition.
    3. Split the clip so that the Title can be inserted.
    4. Insert a TEXTLESS Title that spands the clip, transition and into the next clip.
    5. Then edit out duplicate frames and insert missing frames from the the now 'single' clip.
    STILL just a piecemeal. STILL labour intensive.
    THIS IS WHERE IT GETS MORE INTERESTING.
    I tested this on a couple of clips and, LO AND BEHOLD, 'Title-merging' a clip with its transition and following clip results in the duplicated first frame of the transition DISAPPEARING and the previously dropped frame of the transition, REAPPEARING. A fix.
    One could blanket a video with long textless Titles (i.e., 45 seconds at a time with Rolling Credits) to fix the transition glitches.
    I know that this is not a great solution, but it does allow me to export video with the quality I need.
    Is there a better solution? (I find it ironic that years later, iMovie 2.1.2 is still, for me, the most successful of all the iMovie applications.)

    the duplicated and dropped frames move to the beginning and end of the added short (4 seconds, for example) texless title. Using a longer title (10 seconds, for example) fixed also this.
    if I understand your original reply correctly, it is important that the blanket transition ends in the middle of a clip and not a transition.
    In my tests I used a blanket title (did you invent this descriptive word?!) that spans some of the previous clip (I split it 1-2 seconds before the transition so I could add the blanket title), the transition and some (1-2 seconds) of the next clip.
    If it ends in a transition, the transition plays and then the ORIGINAL clip plays, duplicating the first part of the clip.
    I didn't quite follow. I just tried this with a 30 frame transition. Then I added a 1:15 blanket title 1:00 before the transition (so the blanket title ended in the middle of the transition). Result: The first frame of the blanket titles was duplicated and the last frame of the blanket title was dropped. Otherwise it played as expected.
    shift select the clips to establish a total length of the video clips and them add a title that ends just inside the last clip.
    Yes, I did just that to measure how long a title was needed. In my tests it seemed that it was important that the blanket title wasn't very short (<4 seconds) because then the problem frames were just moved to affect the title. Using a longer blanket title (10 seconds) seemed to fix the problem for both the transition AND the blanket title.
    <div class="jive-quote">With a textless title blanketing an entire video, my COMPRESSION TIME to Quicktime is incredibly shortened (1/3 to 1/2 the time).
    That's interesting. I've noticed that simple projects (i.e. not much cuts) export faster than real time to Full Quality .dv. But complex projects take MUCH longer to export as .dv. AFAIR this didn't matter in iMovie 1-4. Maybe the blanket title simplifies the relevant parts of the project?
    [sigh] I wish we didn't need to be aware of the plethora of obscure gotchas and workarounds like this. I don't expect there to be an iMovie HD 5 update anymore. I guess some bugs will be fixed and some brand new bugs will be introduced in v6.
    The same thing happened with iMovie 4 bugs. ...So this time I thought to quickly gather AND report all iMovie 5 bugs to Apple so they could quickly fix them during the first months. ...but it seems that the iLife team just isn't granted enough resources to fix them. Many known old bugs are again just described in the knowledgebase articles.

  • Adding a link to expand and collapse all DHTML drop downs

    Hi, can anyone help me adapt the "Skinny on Skins" example "Add a Toolbar button to expand and collapse all DHTML drop downs" so that it will work with just a simple HTML link in RH8, instead of being attached to a custom skin button?
    The example looks like this:
    Step 1. Open the Skins Editor for the skin where you want to add the button.
    Step 2. After the preview loads into the window, ensure that the Toolbar tab has focus, then click the plus symbol. The Custom Toolbar Item dialog should display.
    Step 3. Type the Item Name (This is simply an internal reference for the button).
    Step 4. Type the Text (This is the text that will be seen by the end user. The field must contain something. So if you don't want any verbiage to display for your toolbar item, simply type a space.)
    Step 5. Choose your Image Options, then click the Action tab.
    Step 6. Click the JavaScript option button.
    Step 7. Enter the following code in the OnClick field:
    javascript:toggle()
    Step 8. In the JavaScript area, ensure the Inline JavaScript option button is selected, then click the edit (Pencil) icon located to the right.
    Step 9. Enter the following code in the Inline JavaScript dialog
    var show = "false";
    function toggle() {
    parent.frames[1].bsscright.focus();
    var arrayofDivs = parent.frames[1].bsscright.document.all.tags('DIV');
    if (show == "false") {
    for (x=0;x<arrayofDivs.length;x++) { arrayofDivs[x].style.display = "block";}
    show = "true";}
    else {
    for (x=0;x<arrayofDivs.length;x++) { arrayofDivs[x].style.display = "none"; }
    show = "false"; }
    Step 10. Click the OK button to close the Inline JavaScript dialog.
    Step 11. Click the OK button to close the Custom Toolbar Item dialog.
    Step 12. Click the OK button to close the Skin Editor.
    Step 13. Generate WebHelp via File > Generate > WebHelp and ensure that you have the new button selected with a check mark. This will probably require stepping through some screens to see the place where you can select it.
    Many thanks

    Hi again
    I want to use it in the header of one of my Master Pages, so it will only be created/maintained once. Not all my pages have drop downs in so rather than have a toolbar button available for every page, I was trying to be a bit cuter by having two Master Pages - one for normal pages and one for pages with drop downs in.
    I'm no javascript expert so I'll see if one of my developers can help.
    Thanks anyway

  • Frame dropping when Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard pops up

    Almost all the Apps are effected by this issue in iOS 8.1, even you creating a new message can cause this noticable frame drop when Chinese Pinyin-10 key keyboard pops up.
    Note that:
    (1) This issue never occurs in iOS 7.1.X, 8.0 and 8.02, and full QWERTY keyboard is fine.
    (2) If turn on Settings->Accessibility->Increase Contrast->Reduce Transparency,  Chinese Pinyin-10 key Keyboard also works fine.
    I have to use full keyboard instead now. Please fix this.

  • Frames Dropping when Editing back to tape

    I just updated my Final Cut Studio to 5.1.4. I am running this program on 2.0 GHz G5 Power Mac. I have fibre from the G5 to the server. I am trying to Edit to tape and this edit stop because it had dropped one or more frames. I am at OS 10.4.9
    The error message:
    Aborted ETT/PTV – Dropped Frames
    Because one or more frames dropped during Edit To Tape or Print To Video, this operation was aborted.
    If this occurs frequently, try
    - Turning off Unlimited RT
    - Lowering your compression data rate.
    - Closing open sequences.
    - Lowering the preferences for real-time audio tracks.
    - Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection.
    RT Extreme has determined these dropped frames were caused by slow disk. Please try:
    - Increasing to speed of your disks
    - Decreasing the number of RT lies.
    - Limiting your RT bandwidth in User Preferences.
    I tried all the fixes stated above and the problem is not fixed.
    Please Help
    Thanks

    Check the settings playback settings in the Timeline window to make sure they are all set to be high quality... sounds like the playback/render quality doesn't match the recording quality so when you ask to edit to tape, it is attempting a total re render.

  • 4209 Frames Dropped - 2 minutes of preview

    I'm pretty sure I didn't used to have this problem, just playing back video in the program window, but now suddenly, it seems PP6 can't playback HD video in the program window / preview.  Don't even bother trying to scrub through the video, that's a disaster.
    So, to comply with the guidelines, here is everything I know about the situation.  I'm even happy to post the raw footage if you think it would help.
    What version of Premiere Pro? 6.02
    Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, the updater indicates no updates available
    What operating system? Mac OSX v10.8.3
    What type of computer? Macbook Pro Retina, 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Ram
    What type of video card? NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Hard drive? Solid State Drive
    What kind(s) of source footage?
    File Path: <SNIP>/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM/00043.MTS
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.3 GB
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Total Duration: 00:08:03:00
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    Project / Sequence type: I made the sequence by taking the footage and dragging it to new sequence, so the sequence would be the exact type of the source footage.  The footage is of panning horizontally of a lake with mountains in the background.  It has audio, but I don't play it back.
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? Of the 8 minutes of source video, I took a 2 minute 20 second cut.  Put it into the sequence by itself, no effects, no zooming, NO alterations of any kind.  Put the marker at the beginning and let it play in the program window at full resolution.  I got 4209 frames dropped in those 2.5 minutes
    What were you doing when the problem occurred? Nothing else was running, it was after a fresh reboot, only started PP6.  Just playing back the video at regular speed with no alterations.
    Has this ever worked before? I've edited HD video before, about 3 months ago, I didn't seem to recall this issue.
    What other software are you running?  Little snitch network monitor, and a CPU monitor
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). See above, it's a MacBook Pro, so I can't really add anything to it.
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?  Yes.  I have turned off the "enable graphics switching" in the power section.  I have tried all 3, software, CUDA and OpenCL, usually leaving it on CUDA.
    CUDA Drivers? CUDA Driver Version: 5.0.59, no newer update is available
    GPU Driver Version? 8.10.44  304.10.65f03
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? Previews, I haven't bothered to try to render it out.  I'm still trying to edit the project together.
    What else?
    Sometimes I get an all RED screen in place of the footage in the program view
    I notice that one core is indicated to go FULL red / usage just before and during frame drops, the other 7 cores are green / unused
    This happens the most with resolution set to FULL, but also occurs in 1/2 and 1/4 resolution.
    Scrubbing through the video is useless
    The audio (when I do have it enabled) never drops

    Warning:
    To those of you who have been struggling with the AVHCD bug and waiting for months to a year to use Adobe Premiere to its full potential...   If you don't already know...
    Adobe CC introduced another major bug! 
    I have been following threads about the AVHCD bug for months so I felt an obligation to inform the community members I have suffered alongside.
    I am also trying to inform you because Adobe won't.  Yet again, they are disastrously failing to inform customers of avoidable problems. 
    If you upgraded to Premiere CC to fix the AVHCD problem, you could be out of the frying pan and into the fire like I was. 
    The new bug is described in this thread.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5490602#5490602
    Bug Overview:
    After saving multicam edits, and reopening a project, multicam edits may loose their link to the location in a clip.  The result is that every angle switch restarts at the beginning of a clip.  Many of us have lost hours of work like this.  The problem may ocurr at any point and ruin work performed prior upon saving and re-opening. 
    There is a work around described on the thread above to prevent the problem from occurring, but once it does, a project is lost and can only revert to a backup.
    I hope this spares some of you the trouble and loss of being struck by the second bug in a row like I was. 
    I also hope to enlist the help of some of you who would like to join me in demanding that Adobe communicate more openly with their customers. 
    Again, many people have also been hurt by Adobe's failure to inform customers of a huge problem that they knew about prior to the release of Premiere CC. 
    Like the AVHCD bug, so many of us could have been spared weeks to months of lost wages and clients if Adobe simply informed Premiere users that there were some issues with the update.  As people could have stayed with CS5 for a while to avoid the AVHCD bug, users on this thread could have stayed with CS6 for a while until the Multicam bug was fixed, if they needed that feature. 
    On that thread, I posted the request I quoted below.  Please join us in demanding greater responsibility for communication from Adobe.
    please join me in making a feature request:
    That Adobe add notifications about important software issues, updates and work-arounds...
    to the start pages of applications
    and to the Application manager (so that users may make informed decisions about weather or not an update may introduce issues into their workflows prior to installing.)
    If they can use those platforms to provide tips and adds, they should also be effective for informing their customers.
    Feature requests can be entered at the link below and are prioritized by the number of requests for a certain feature.

  • Severe frame dropping with Mac QT export.

    I've noticed some weird behavior of Quicktime Pro (mac version).
    Quicktime(mac) is not able to handle video files exported by QT itself correctly.
    Further converting QT MPEG4 videos with QT(mac) will generate choppy videos, which appears to have some frames dropped.
    I've prepared a sample video below.
    Source: http://bdweb.no-ip.com/documents/qt_sample/source.mp4
    Codec: MPEG4/AVC H.264
    The above video file can be played back smoothly with QT in both Mac and Windows. However viewing the video frame-by-frame (with mouse scroll) in QT(mac) reveals that QT is dropping about half of the frame.
    (say from 10F to 35F, all odd-numbered frames were skipped.)
    If the above video is exported again with QT pro in mac, the product will be half of the actual frame rate (half were dropped).
    Converted by QT(mac): http://bdweb.no-ip.com/documents/qt_sample/mac.mp4
    Converted by QT(win): http://bdweb.no-ip.com/documents/qt_sample/windows.mp4
    The video converted under Windows by QT-pro is doing fine, no frame drop was observed.
    I've already tried updating QT, reinstalling QT, but no luck.
    Does anyone know what would be the cause, and can it be solved?

    Yes they are correct now. Their file size is different.
    Windows version: 9,248,985 bytes
    Link:http://bdweb.no-ip.com/documents/qt_sample/windows.mp4
    Mac version: 9,963,051 bytes
    Link: http://bdweb.no-ip.com/documents/qt_sample/mac.mp4
    I have no idea why they have such a huge discrepancy, but on second thought, it isn't THAT strange when I saw the same software encodes the video in such a different manner. Strange still!

  • Frames dropping upon conversion to .m4v

    Hi guys!
    I've scoured the discussions for help on this, but I've come up empty. I'm trying to convert some (what seems to be) HD content for viewing on Apple TV, and the resulting .mp4 or .m4v will always drop frames. The original material (in full disclosure, the free, legal downloads of "Star Trek - New Voyages" http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/) is a .mov:
    H.264, 720 x 480 (853 x 480)
    2349.09 kbits/s
    29.97 fps
    When I use QTPro to convert to Apple TV, it looks great but plays jerky. The settings on the m4v:
    H.264, 853 x 480
    2827.98 kbits/s
    29.97 fps
    When I try to convert to MPEG-4 ISMA, under "compatibilty", it will give me the message, "image data rate too high for MPEG-4 video simple profile level 1". Any other fiddling I do with the settings results in varying quality, files sizes and aspect ratios -- but all with jerky playback.
    It seems like it's a simple answer, and I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts you guys have would be great!
    Thanks!

    I am having a similar problem. I used QT Pro to convert an HD movie trailer (for "WALL-E") to watch on my Apple TV, and the resulting movie file only contained every other frame. I tried converting both the 1080 clip and the 720 clip, and stepping through each file showed that every frame was doubled up, effectively making the clip look like they're mastered at 12 fps.
    I got the clips from here:
    http://bvim-qt.vitalstream.com/WallE/Vignettes/WallEVacuum1080.mov
    http://bvim-qt.vitalstream.com/WallE/Vignettes/WallEVacuum720.mov
    These clips are very high bitrates, so I understand the need for conversion, but I'm hoping that frame dropping is not part of Quicktime's scheme for lowering the bitrate for Apple TV!

  • Help!  Frames Dropped During Live Capture

    I am trying to switch over to Adobe Premiere from Final Cut Pro, but am having a serious problem with frames being dropped during capture.  When I do have frames dropped, it doesn't even save the video that it was capturing.  All that I get is a corrupt file that won't open.
    I'm using a Mac Pro with 3.0Ghz Dual Core Xeon Processor, 9GB 667MHz RAM, and a BlackMagic Decklink SDI card, and am trying to capture 720p 59.94fps video over SDI.  I am capturing to an interal 1TB 7200RPM dedicated scratch disk that is not used for ANTYHING but live capture.  The OS is 10.6.8.
    I only have 3 capture options in Premiere using the Blackmagic card: 8-bit, 10-bit or DVCHDPRO.  I want to use 8-bit, because DVCHDPRO is 960x720 instead of 1280x720.  But, I have tried DVCHDPRO and it did not work either.  I can successfully capture video for 5-10 minutes, but then I always get the Warning that frames were dropped and Premiere fails to save the video properly so that it can be opened.
    I have used BlackMagic's speed test app and determined that my internal hard drive's data rate is plenty sufficient for both 8-bit and DVCHDPRO.
    Final Cut Pro 6 has always captured perfectly fine using this exact setup.  It even gives me a lot more capture options for the BlackMagic card - I'm not sure why I'm limited to only those 3 capture settings in Premiere.
    I would really appreciate some help to point me in the right direction to get this resolve.  Thanks!

    Randal,
    It might be a bit tough on a fast computer, especially if the BIOS are not set to show POST at boot-up, a common setting nowadays. As Steve says, the exact key will differ by your BIOS brand.
    You may not actually see the particular logo screen, that Steve is talking about. I'd do a cold-boot and immediately tap the ESC key. If this does not get you into your BIOS Setup, then repeat, but tap the F1 key. When I say "immediately," I mean immediately upon hitting the Power On button.
    With older computers, you had about 5 sec. to get into Setup, but not anymore. On my laptop, I still have trouble hitting the F8 key fast enough to boot Windows into Safe Mode. I miss it, more than I get it. Could also be that I've been away from gaming for too many decades, and my gunfighter reflexes ain't what they used to be, but I'll just blame it on faster computers. I have the same problem with trying to flush my Preferences in Adobe programs, gotta' hit the Shift-Ctrl-Alt key at precisely the right time. [Exact key combo does differ with some Adobe programs]
    Also, if you can give us the name of your BIOS, say "Award," we might be able to give the exact key to hit for Setup. If you have the MoBo manual, it will be in there, plus the correct key. You still have to be quick, however.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Newbie has constant frame drops slowing capturing

    I don't even know IMovieHD, so don't ask me why I bought FCEHD 3.5
    Having said that dislaimer, I finally figured out how to capture footage from the HD tape off my FX1 HD videocam. However after starting up and using the capture window, it only records 2-5 seconds, then stops, says a frame dropped, then I have to press capture all over again....and basically I would die of natural causes before it ever captured the four 60 minute tapes I need to import into a new prject.
    I had no problems capturing all the footage in iMovieHD without stopping for anything other than changing tapes in the camera.
    There's gotta be some user group in Los Angeles area where newbies mingle with others so I could ask bonehead question withotu the entire planet knowing I'm a FCE moron.
    But any ideas on resolving this dropped frame thing that is making capturing footage of decent length more or less impossible?

    The settings are the defualt setting on FCE 3.5 with the exception that stop upon frame drop is now deselted, and the camera is just hooked up via the firewire to the back of the CPU...there aren't any settings on the videocam related to transferring the tape as far as I know....
    I am going to get a 300 Gig Seagate Barracuda internal SATA drive that has a 16mb cache. Hopefully there aren't issues installing it internally on my Mac. They look like they are about $160 including the connector. I will use that as my scratch drive then and see if the frame drop stops. Funny how that doesn't happen in iMovieHd though...
    At least now thanks to you guys the videocapture progress doesn't stop upon frame drop due to deselecting stop upon drop.

  • Frames drop constantly, how can I fix it?

    I have FCPX, mountain lion, and a 1920x1080/60p Sony camera, and my frames drop on all my videos.

    Probably better to post in the FCP-X forum, here.
