Can Imovie9 do frame by frame editing?

I need to separate individual frames in editing. Using a cursor is just not accurate enough.

Let me add, that of the issue is setting in and out points at the frame level, go into iMovie/Preferences and make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Display Time as HH:MM:SS:Frames
It also helps to select VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO.
Depending on what you are doing, it may also help to move the thumbnail slider in the Project Pane and/or the Events Pane to 1/2 second.
Also, when you click on a clip in the project that has more (or less) frames available in the EVENT, you can add frames one at a time by clicking on the little arrow icons at the botton left and bottom right of the clip. A precise handle will pop out that makes it easy to adjust frame by frame, and you see it in the viewer.
That gets me 99% of what I need, but if you need more, there is the Precision Editor, which you get by clicking Window/Precision Editor (or Command/)

I need to know that Adobe Premier elements 12 will do the following; allow for zooming in of recordings (i,e, can zoom in on items I edit); Can display orgiinal and zoomed recordings side by side; and allow for frame-by-frame playback

I need to know that Adobe Premier elements 12 will do the following; Allow for zooming in of recordings (i,e, can zoom in on items I edit); Can display orgiinal and zoomed recordings side by side; and allow for frame-by-frame playback.
Is this possible?
Any input is appreciated! Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.
Your thoughts on frame by frame viewing are can do. However, the real time playback feature includes the concept of rendering the Timeline, when the program indicates the need to do so, to get the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit area monitor. That is a major novel in itself. Each time you do a new edit you will get the render indicator message to ignore or act on.
Definitely go the free 30 day tryout route for Premiere Elements 12. I have Premiere Elements 12 (updated to 12.1) and it runs fine on Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Best start with the Premiere Elements 12 Help PDF.

How to do frame-by-frame editing in iMovie 08 and export in H264?

I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
Thanks for any ideas

iMovie exports in h.264 by default. All the presets are h.264 (except Tiny).
If you need to adjust the h.264 in some way, then SHARE.EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
To edit to the nearest frame, Go to iMovie/Preferences and select Display Time Codes.

Am a bit confused by what you say. iMovie and QT 7 Pro are both "frame" level editors. However, some forms of editing are, by their very nature, applied over a range of frames which may be a part of your problem. In addition, since "normal" movies have frames which are spaced apart in the 16 to 42 ms range, your requirement to be able to edit to the nearest millisecond would seem unreasonable and would probably be unsupported for playback purposes without skipping 90+ percent of the frames on most platforms.
And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
All of the "Share" and/or "Export" options (except Final Cut XML...) either default to H.264 or allow export to H.264 (or X264 if installed) video compression.

Difficult to say since you have not given any indication as to what you mean by "editing" here. You could, for instance, edit normal movie clips in a normal manner and then use an application like the JES Deinterlacer to change the playback time reference to achieve an effective 1 millisecond/frame playback rate you seem to want to target even though your platform cannot play every frame during playback.

I Can't separate text in frames from repeating

CS4 Flash Pro v:10.0.2
Win 7 Pro
I have been working on a Flash site for a while - and learning quite a bit over the past 2 years. This is my first Flash design website and I can't see where I went wrong.
At some point last year I removed subsequent frames and began duplicating the text to show symetry. Now, my customer wants to add different information in the adjacent frames, but I can't remove the adjacent duplications.
Example:
Frame 6 has text-A (Sample X in the PDF Image below)
Frame 7 has text-A (Sample Y in the PDF Image below)
Now I want Frames 6 and 7 to have different text - unlinked in all frames, and the final tween frame.
When I edit either of the 8 Frames contents, the text changes for the adjacent frames. Luckily, the first 2 tweens contain separate information, so those are not linked to these last 2 (Sampe X and Y). How do I separate the frames so I can have different information, but I do want each Sample to contain the same text? I DO NOT want Sample X and Sample Y to mimic each other. Each tween is 4 frames in length, and each frame is duplicated. However, I want Sample X separate from Sample Y.

Rob, thanks for the promt response.
My example image identifies Sample X and Y as my current work. What I am referring to is that the text inside the movie clip of Sample X and Sample Y are identical. When I edit the text/content in the Movie Clip for Samply Y, it changes the text in X automatically. I want them to be separated, so the content in each movie clip is different.
If you visit the website http://www.playonkc.com/ and select Training, you can see the content. When you click on the + bubbles on the right, if pulls up each months training.
Somehow my .fla file contains linked months. So inside each movie clip, the text for months July/August & Sept/Nov are linked. When i edit the contents of one, the other changes. How do I separate them, so they are independent of each other like Feb/Mar & May/June.
It has to be either a Key Frame, or Frame edit, but when I just change the text contents of one frame, Flash automatically changes the text contents of the other Movie Clip (Sample X and Y below.) They are linked together somehow....

Editing Frame by Frame

I'm trying to find a turorial on how to edit an object out frame by frame. I know I can clone it out, but doing so creates a heat wave effect in the area since it's different per frame. Also, how do I click through every single frame to make sure I get them all?
Here's what I got. I have a video where as soon as a character moves out of the way, a light stand is seen. I simple want to remove the light stand as he moves.
One way I tried was to create an image where I completely removed the stand when the character is completely out of the way. Then paint out that image frame by frame around the character. So when he's there, the image is painted out. But as he moves, I start painting it in, frame by frame.
But I can't seem to edit the image layer frame by frame. It remains the same on all frames. If I erase an area, it's on all the frames instead of the one.
I tried pasting the image in a blank video layer, but it only stayed in one frame.
How am I suppose to do this job in photoshop?

Welcome to the forum.
Am I correct that you are trying to edit Video, at a Frame by Frame level? If so, what you are talking about is Rotoscoping, and can be effective, albeit tedious.
Now, when removing an obect, the Clone Stamp is a good place to start, but one must be careful, and go slowly. The Healing Tools can be very useful too, and is often used in conjunction with the Clone Stamp.
Now, if you are NOT doing Rotoscoping, please let us know a bit more about what you are attempting to do.

Frame by Frame editing of Video in PSE

Hi and good morning and Happy New Year to all @ Adobe Support,
I have had more versions of Adobe PSE than I really like to think about, not to mention other various Adobe products.
To go directly to my question, I had thought that I had used PSE to edit frame by frame videos ?
Have I gone bonkers ? I just purchased PSE and PE to make sure I could edit a few short videos that I wanted to draw in simple things like lines, drops, arrows, etc. Now it seems I have two products that both can't accomplish this and apparently I cannot get a straight answer to what I should have on your site or in the forum or anywhere else, for that fact. I'm hoping you are not going to tell me I need a 500 dollar program to do this ! I only have a dozen videos I would like to paint or draw in and the last time I needed this was 1992 or there abouts. I am a Mac user and currently have 10.9.1 installed. Just for your information the installation went of without a hitch for both products on Mavericks and appear to be working fine, aside from the fact I can't frame edit videos in either one.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter,
Wade Arnold
Apple and Adobe Enthusiast

The most recent version of PSE removed the ability to import a frame from a video file. I suspect this is what you were thinking of.
However I assume by 'PE' you mean Premiere Elements (PRE), the video editor. You can still export a clip from PRE as a sequence of still images that you can then edit in PSE and reimport back to PRE. This is in Publish+Share> Computer> Image> Advanced, check 'Export as sequence'.
However from your description you might be better off using the tools in Titler within PRE to draw your lines and arrows - this is way simpler than doing so frame by frame in PSE.
Cheers,
Neale

Can´t figure out if QuickTime 7 PRO can animate frame-by frame

Can´t figure out if QuickTime 7 PRO can do what I want ??!
I have been told that QT can animate from picture sequenses,(frame by frame from 3D renderings in my case), but i can´t find any word about that att QT-webpages??
I have several maps containing frame-sequences of all from 20-30 frames, to sequences of 500-1000 frames. they are all named differently, but also numbered from 000-xxx in each map.
My wish is to make continuous film-sequenses, and thereafter edit them as in ordinary video-edit-applications, and allso add some soundtracks to it all,
- sounds really basic doesn´t it?
IS THIS SOMETHING I REALLY CAN DO IN QT PRO 7 ??!!
GRATEFUL FOR ALL HINTS!

Use at least one second per frame to get best quality. To speed up the motion you can add the video track "scaled" to a properly timed audio track and then "extract" the new video track.

Identifying Exact Frame to Begin Edit?

I am editing a segment of video where someone shouts something in the background. I would like to razor the beginning and ending point where this occurs. I am going through this segment frame-by-frame, trying to identify the exact location of the person shouting, though it is difficult. What is the best way to handle this??
Thanks.

cmdoptw will turn on those waveforms in the timeline.
Audio scrubbing will play the audio frame by frame... it's in the view menu. check it on so you can hear each frame as you step through the audio.

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.
