Camera Reset Frame Count

Hi All,
new here. Been using LR 4 on MBP 09 for about a year now, Love it!
I'm shooting with a Fuji X100 exclusively (my only camera =). I recently updated firmware on it, and its reset frame count (up to 9500 frames). This means that the same frame number is now referring to two photos in LR. Should I start a new catalogue so I don't have conflicts? Or is there any other way to fix this problem? I checked X100 manual, I cannot choose to start from a certain frame number.
Thanks for your help

...just on the question of starting from a given frame number, I have a comment and a suggestion.
First, it is possible to have LR rename images at the time of import, assuming you are using LR to copy the images from camera card (not available if you copy the images into the computer yourself, and then use the "Add" method of import). As part of  this renaming, you can have LR include an "image counter" group of digits, which increment continually. That replaces the camera generated filename with an enforced unique numbering (some people include the capture date in the filename too - or other attributes - it can be defined to suit.
As dj_paige says, it is not a problem to repeat a filename within a given catalog, but you may still prefer to have some unique element there.
Next, while I don't know the X100 myself, this question of controlling camera image numbering comes up fairly often. Many cameras have two alternative modes: one where the camera keeps remembering the highest image number used, even after a card is removed; the other, where it promptly forgets about that each time ("goldfish mode").
When a new card is inserted, cameras tend to take whatever internal counter may have been remembered from before (which will only apply if the camera is not in goldfish mode) AND take the highest number image found on the card, add 1 to whichever is higher, and use that for the next image taken. This becomes the new counter value.
So: asssuming your camera offers these functions (they may be called different things) - you can set the camera to a given image counter value, by doing the following:
Take a single image on a camera card. Turn off the remembering/incrementing of image number between camera cards, so that any prior counter value is forgotten. Take the camera card out, put it in a card reader and rename it to the image number that you would like to continue from. Put the card in the camera and turn on the remembering of image numbers. Take another picture: it will get an image number one higher, than the one you manually renamed. Becasue the counter is now persistent, this will continue regardless of which card is used - except if any card is ever put into the camera which has a higher value than the current counter, the counter will leapfrog that and set itself to a higher value still. To get it back down again, you would need to repeat the whole procedure above.
Personally, I don't much care what images are physically called so far as LR is concerned - but I do prefer to have the camera image number increment continually nonetheless - which it has done ever since it was new.

  • Creating an array in a 'for' loop (resetting loop count)

    Hi,
    I am trying to integrate an acceleration signal coming from a CRIO analogue input to obtain the speed and then further integrate to get the displacement of a vibration system.
    I understand that in order to perform the integration, an array has to be fed in. My problem is that I could not buffer the signal in a buffer block as I couldn't find any buffer blocks. so I decided to create my an array of data using a 'for' loop. The 'for' loop nests inside a timed loop. The problem that I got stuck at is how to reset the 'for' loop in order to refill the buffer again at every iteration of the outer timed loop.
    I have attached the code if that helps. Note that I am using labview 2013.
    I would be gratefull if someone who had encountered a similar issue before can help me.

    Dear Altenbach,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    I need to make it clear that I have not had enough hands-on with labview, I have only used it for sometime in the past and now I have to in order to perform some active damping on a 50Hz running machine. I must stress the fact that what i find more intuitive to do in a different programming language (matlab or C) is not as straightforward in labview. so please bear with me if my code has basic mistakes .
    All what i am trying to do is obtain the speed and position from an acclerometer signal. unfortunately i dont have a position sensor so i have to measure acceleration then perform time integrations in order to obtain the speed and position respectively. I am using a compact Rio (later in FPGA mode) to take physical measurements of acceleration from the vibratory machine and where i managed to do this bit successfully. when it came to performing the integration, i had to create an array inside my timed loop since i couldn't find a buffer block. I implemented a 'for' loop inside a timed loop in order to build the array. however i got stuck at resetting the count of the 'for' loop in order to refill the array with new values at every new iteration of the outer timed loop. unfortunately, even a sensible answer has been suggested before, i dont seem to have been capable of doing it yet. I really spent all my day trying to figure a way out but not achieved it yet, nevertheless I have learnt many many things by playing around.
    I would be gratefull if you could comment on a possible way of doing what i am trying to do.
    Kind Regards

  • Frame count for science fair

    Hello,
    My son wants to do a science fair project to calculate the speed of cars going by our house using our video camera. We know the frame rate of the video but I cannot get a frame count to show up on our computer (just the length of the clip which I assume is calculated from the frame rate). The problem is I could be more accurate if I actually knew the frame number. I was hoping to avoid manually counting the frames. I could use quicktime viewer as well but I can't seem to make it give me this information either.
    Help! Thanks in advance.

    Yes you can do this.
    In iMovie/Preferences, select "Display Time as Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames"
    Then VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO
    You will see the specific frame as you move your cursor over the clip.
    It may also help you to move the Thumbnail Slider to 1/2 second, so the frames are spread out more.

  • Animated gif frame count & fps

    How do I find out details of an animated gif? I need to know the number of images in a strip, and also the frame rate. I would like to convert the strip to a BufferedImage for animation.

    See http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html for a free decoder.
    It will give you a frame count, and return each frame as a BufferedImage. It will also tell you the duration of each frame (animated GIF's don't have a fixed frame rate).

    You need to get a refnum for the module.  The simplest way to do this is to drag the module in the project onto your block diagram.  It will drop a refnum constant for the module.  You will find all kinds of useful properties and methods on this refnum.  In this case the refnum is of a class named "SD Module" (where "SD" stands for "Specialty Digital") and it has a method on it for resetting counters.  See the attached screenshot of the block diagram.

  • How to reset a counter on external signal in LabView?

    Hallo there!
    I am using LabView v 8.5 and the NI USB-6211 to acquire signals, among them are the following:
    1) angular pulses from a rotary encoder
    2) a reference pulse for the rotary encoder witch will give a pulse on a specific position of the movement for every rotation
    3) value from a pressure sensor
    What I am trying to do is to create a pressure/volume diagram based on the pressure and volume inside a cylinder of an IC engine. To do this, I will need the angle of the engines crankshaft to calculate the pistons position in the cylinder. This way I can calculate the volume and put it in a xy graph to represent the volume (x-axis) and the pressure(y-axis).
    I am using clk0 to count the pulses from the angular encoder, and this works great. However I now need the reference pulse to somehow reset the count at the precise time it goes high in order to precisely know the angular position.
    How can I do this? And how precise will this be? And will I need any kind of synchronization with my pressure measurements? If so, how?
    The relevant part of the program I am working on resembles the Count Digital Events with reset.vi 33 KB as found in this thread. However, I don't know how to get the reference pulse to reset as the stop button is. How can I do this?
    In addition: the fast pulses of the angular encoder = 0-> ~10kHz. I seem to lose information if I use the basic level trigger detection.vi when I put this signal on an analog port.

    Hi Nick,
    If you have an X Series or 2nd Generation cDAQ chassis (basically any cDAQ chassis except for the 9172 or 916x sleeves) then you can implement:
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,(reset),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,(reset),1,2...
    You would have to configure an Edge Count Task, set the initial value to 232 - 6 (such that the 6th count causes the counter to rollover, which generates a pulse on the counter output), and enable the count reset using your external signal:
    The count reset isn't currently available for other DAQ devices, but I believe it should be available on M Series (62xx) and TIO (660x, 6624) with a future driver release (some time in 2012).
    If you don't have an X Series (or gen II cDAQ), don't despair.  On other hardware, you can get close to the previous behavior with a counter output task, with the exception that the "reset" signal would only be detected after the 2nd tick after your pulse is output.  Also, the reset signal would have to occur at the beginning to arm the counter the first time.
    Or, you can get the 3rd behavior that you asked for by doing a continuous counter output task with the external signal as the source of the timebase ticks.  For example:
    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
    In toggle mode (default):
    6 ticks of initial delay, 2 ticks high, 7 ticks low, 2 ticks high, 7 ticks low, ... etc.
    In pulse mode:
    6 ticks of initial delay, 9 ticks high, 9 ticks low, 9 ticks high, 9 ticks low, ... etc.
    See here for an overview of the difference of the two modes.  Basically, pulse mode will emit a short pulse when TC is reached, and toggle mode will toggle the state of the counter.  You can't have less than 2 ticks as a high time, low time, or initial delay.

  • Using a hardware trigger to reset a counter

    Hi all...I am trying to using a quadrature encoder with A,B,Z outputs on an e-series card (pci-6052e). the problem is that the card does not support the z output since it only has 2 counters. So i am trying to find a way to get around this problem. I start off using ctr 1 (to the source pin of which i connect the A signal)..to count the events which will tell me how many angles the shaft has rotated through. The only other thing i need is to use the single pulse generated on the z line to reset the count each time it turns high. From reading posts it seems like i have to stop and restart the counter task to accomplish this. So the thing i dont know how to do is to convert that pulse on the z-line to a boolean value so i can run a case loop to stop and restart the task. I can use a daq-mx start trigger to look at the pulse but how do i convert that to a boolean value to run the case loop.
    Thanks in advance, Shyam.

    Hi Shyam,
    Depending on how fast the encoder will be rotating, you can do a few things. The simplist is to just read the Z index on a digital line as you have begun doing. Using a DAQmx Read, you can detect the state of the line and if the rotation is slow enough, you can use the boolean value. Again, this is not ideal. The newer M-Series boards have a counter input for the Z index in addition to being able to do change detection on digital lines which will make this task much easier. See if this works for your needs.

  • NI-6602 - Encoder capture - resetting the counter to 0 through software - DAQmx

    Hello. A simple one. I'm using DAQmx to set up a task to set channel 0 on an NI-6602 as an angular encoder capture port. This is working fine and I can grab the position in degrees. The simple question is - How do I reset the counter to 0 through software. I can set up ZIndex to do it but how do I either reset the counter or set it with an arbritrary number? I can see a method to set it on startup but not during capture.
    Thanks.
    Will

    If working in LabVIEW, there are DAQmx property nodes that will allow you to set the "initial count" value, but ONLY while the task is stopped.
    If you can't count on a hardware z-index reset, another software technique I've used to avoid stopping the DAQmx task.  I make a wrapper function for all my encoder task access (see the Action Engine nugget for ideas...).   Inside this "Action Engine" wrapper, I use an uninitialized shift register to store my encoder's "virtual 0".  I add a simple function to the action engine for setting the "virtual 0" to be the current encoder position value.  Every time I read from the encoder, I first subtract off the virtual zero before returning the data.  As far ast the rest of the app is concerned, the encoder data it gets is just as if I were able to make a software call to DAQmx to set the raw count to zero.

  • Frame counter or timer

    Does anyone know of a technique to show a timer inset or a frame count in the frame? I am making movies of screen captures as jpgs (roughly 3000 images). I tried the plug-in called Timer from cf/x and it crashed every way i set it up.
    Any ideas? thanks!

    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    In case anyone else has this problem, I thought I'd close this question with what I've learned. The timer's I tried both worked with imported videos, like QT, but not with a string of stills (jpgs). I did export the stills to QT and then import to iMovie, but the timing was not precise enough... i.e., it was more than 10% off from actual time elapsed, and this was a case where precision mattered, not aesthetics. So the question is answered, but the problem is still out there.
    I really wish the jpg metadata could be captured and displayed before using QT or iMovie

  • Premiere Pro freezes in render. Frame count looses sync with timeline.

    Hey Guys!
    I'm completely baffled by this. So I really hope yall can help. Here's what's going on.
    I'm rendering a somewhat lenghty sequence (26min) in Permiere Pro CS6 that has much of the usual going on. (Color Correction, image tweeks, ect. - nothing fancy) I've finished this edit and wanted to export it to a ProRes file. Sent it to AME and hit render with my normal 1080p, quicktime, 29.975, prores settings and about 1 min into it the time shot straight out of the park. (I'm talking like 104+ hours at one point) I checked my settings and tried other export options, still acting wonky. I even tried removing all effects and export the normal sequence sans frills. Na Da. Then I thought, "You know what, maybe it's just a weird part and it'll pass through it." Nope. Left it going for about 13 hrs and it was moving so slow I thought it was frozen.
    Here's where the odd discovery comes in. I decided to render the work area of my timeline in an attempt to narrow down the problem and bingo. When I started the render here I was able to view the frame count along with the video clip progression via the number and red line that becomes green. What I discovered is that in the first clip that's roughly 4 sec (should be about 120 frames) it regestered over 800 frames before it moved onto the next clip! The timeline does not reflect these phantom frames at all. However, the renderer sees the total number of frames for the sequence correctly at around 46,000 frames. It seems as though the frame/clip sync gets so far out of wack that the renderer gets exponentially lost. That would explain why the longer it works, the slower it becomes.
    I'm really not sure what's happening. I feel really out of my depth here. lol Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!!
    Parker

    Mark - thanks for your reply. Disabled GPU acceleration and try software mode. Started rendering but super slow and also lost all my previews.
    Here is my system:
    Macbook Pro - late 2011
    Processor - 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i7
    Memory - 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (still have close to 4GB free)
    Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    Software - OSX 10.9.1
    I have one sequence (less than 5 minutes) with several backgrounds and one lower third .mov playing. I am using green and ultra keys.
    Really appreciate your help. Everything worked fine until the latest Adobe Pr update. Was working fine even after update Mac software to Mavericks.
