Can Compressor 4 remove duplicate frames?

I have some videos which were converted to 30fps from a lower frame count. It was obviously a simple conversion that duplicated frames as needed.
The problem is, when I use these videos for slow motion, the duplicated frames cause the slow motion to "pause". In order to fix this, I have to remove the duplicated frames (obviously I don't care about sound, and I don't care about time sync). Once the duplicated frames are removed, the slow motion is nice and smooth.
In the past, I've always done this with very short clips, so I can do it manually. I open the video in QTP, advance one frame at a time, and when I see a duplicate, I delete it. Since there's always a pattern, depending on what the lower frame rate was, this can be done reasonably quickly, for very small clips. But it's obviously a tedious process.
I was wondering a few things:
1) Can Compressor 4 fix this issue for me? I've tried a few things in Compressor, but no help yet. I'm just a relative newbie, so that's not surprising.
2) Are there any other utilities that might help? Something that removes duplicate frames, for example?
3) These clips were already converted when I received them. However, in the future, when I convert a lower fps to 30fps for the purposes of doing slow motion, how should I do this in Compressor so as to have smooth slow motion at 30fps? Again, I don't care about audio.
I've done a few days worth of searching, but I still havent found the answers. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

The Reverse Telecine didn't remove the extra frames. Who knows - maybe the frames aren't exact duplicates, although for the most part, they look it to the naked eye, which I realize doesn't mean much.
Oh well, doing it by hand isn't the end of the world. I've probably spent more time trying to figure out an automatic method, than it would have taken to do it by hand. But of course, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ever done that... 
Thanks for trying. As I've been searching for help on other things, it's amazing how many times one of your posts helps. So you've helped me plenty, for which I thank you.

  • How can I delete all duplicate frames in a clip?

    I'm working with footage captured from a game engine on a Mac.  When the graphics processing get's intense the graphics card struggles to keep up.  What ends up happening is that the card continues to output every frame (e.g., it does not skip frames) but is only able to do so at a reduced pace - say, five frames a second.  The screen cap software just captures at a predetermined rate - say, thirty frames per second.  The result is that the captured clip has loads of sequential duplicate frames.  The good thing is that since no frames were skipped you get a buttery-smooth playback if you manually (tediously) remove every single duped frame.
    So, is there any tool that will automate this process?  There is a script that does exactly what I need called Duplicate Frame Remover available at Duplicate Frame Remover - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com but sadly, this script is not compatible with After Effects CC.  Can anyone think of any other option for After Effects or Premiere?  Ideally this would cut out the audio for the duped frames as well.
    Thanks,
    Hales

    The frame rate varies depending on what's happening in the simulation, and there is a clock in the scene, so I have verified that when you remove duplicate frames manually you get a clip where one second=one second and perfectly smooth playback.  I'm running dual GTX 980s in SLI, so faster card isn't really feasible.  In any case the capture is of an intense physics simulation and I've since determined that the graphics aren't the bottleneck, rather the CPUs are - and those are equally muscular, so not a lot of room for improvement there either.  Anyway, as I said above, a tool exists, it's just not compatible.  I was just hoping someone else had picked up the gauntlet and written a similar script that works with CC.

  • How to smooth dropped frames and remove duplicate frames?

    What I'm trying to do is smooth out some footage of a game I recorded, which has slight framerate lag and stutters and what not.  What is the best way to smooth the footage out?  or at least make it look better.  Frame blending isn't doing anything at all it seems, so that alone won't help

    There is any number of adaptive flicker fixing third-party plug-ins like from RevisionFX, but the more random and arbitrary such issues are, the more difficult to repair or disguise them. Even the smartest effects can only take you so far...

  • HT1349 Due to backing up my itunes on an external 1 terrabite hard drive, I now have duplicates of the same song in my library.  Anyone know how to run something to remove duplicates?  It's taking up too much space on my hard drive.

    Is there something I can run to remove duplicate songs from my itunes library.  This occurred when I backed my itunes library up on an external hard drive, now I have multiple duplicates of the same songs.  HELP!

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

  • Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames

    I've been researching this but still have not figured it out:
    When I import Canon XF100 footage shot in 24fps from my CF card into FCP 7, in the "Log and Transfer" window under "Preferences", should I check or uncheck "Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames"?  My thought was to uncheck the box since it is a function specific to P2 cards and that it wouldn't make a difference either way for my footage.  Also (and I could be wrong), I didn't think any pulldown was necessary since I was shooting in 24fps.  However, when I examined 2 test clips taken through both paths, there was one noticeable difference: the unchecked clip is larger (644.8MB) than the checked (582.8MB).   Hmmmm....
    Does this mean the footage changes based on if that box is checked or not? 
    And in my shooting/import scenario, should I check or uncheck that box?
    Thank you.

    23.98 and 23.98
    > I have a few different cameras and some need pulldown and some don't but I've always left it checked under the > assumption that if there's nothing to pulldown it can't/won't and everything has been fine.
    good to know.  i agree.  based on my conversations with the canon xf software folks, they were not entirely sure whether or not to check the box, so it doesn't seem to be a significant impact on the work flow.
    thanks all for your input.

  • Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicate address book entries?

    On my MacBook using OS 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1, after syncing with iPad2 and iPod Touch I now have 3 and 4 copies of most Address Book entries ON MY MAC BOOK. Can I use Mackeeper to remove duplicates? No option to remove duplicates ever appeared during the sync process.

    I suggest if you have MacKeeper install, that your first move be to uninstall it.
    Here is a script to find duplicates in addressbook

  • HT2905 My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list.

    My itunes looks nothing like the examples in this tutorial.  I do not have "display exact duplicates" or "date added".  Can someone please help me remove duplicate songs?  Also, I downloaded two audio books and they are showing up in my song list. Why???

    'Show duplicates' is now under the 'View' menu. To see the 'Date added' column go to 'View options' from the 'View' menu and check it in the section under 'Stats'.
    Click an audiobook once to select it and hit command-i (Mac) or control-i (Windows). Go to the 'Options' tab and set 'Media Kind' to 'Audiobook'.

    All of my duplicates are from CD's that I own and imported myself, not purchased through iTunes.

  • HT2905 Can't remove duplicates in iTunes library

    I just downloaded the newest verion of iTunes and there is no option to "display duplicates" under the "file" tab. Any ideas? Thanks!

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11.0. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
    There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    What is the best way to find and remove duplicate photos in iPhoto?

    Are you seeing these duplicates in iPhoto or via the Finder?  If it's in the iPhoto window then you can use one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when one library has been imported into another with iPhoto 8 and earlier.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    I also prefer iPLM as it is more than just a dup finder.  It's a the most versatile iPhoto utility available.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.
