Can't advance frame-by-frame in FCP4

For some reason, the video in the canvas will not advance frame by frame when i hit the arrow buttons. The audio moves, but not the picture. If i play back normally or slo-mo, the video advances normally, just not when i use the arrows. However, the video in the viewer advances correctly.
I am running the video off a firewire hard drive, but this hasn't been a problem in the past. I'd love some help!

Get yourself up to fcp 4.5. (free dl)
v 4.0 was a bit unworkable.
From memory - there were other funny things as well ...
Have you recently also upgraded qt ?
Do not go past qt 6.5.2 with Panther.

Why can't I advance a video frame-by-frame with the arrow keys?

I am able to play a video, and to scrub through by clicking and dragging the play head, but when the video is paused, my arrow keys won't advance frame-by-frame. Is there a place that I have to enable the arrow key function? I've looked through the Preferences but didn't see anything. Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!!

Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when using the HDS protocol?

Hi all,
... and thanks in advance for taking the time to respond. I've been playing with different media serving protocols, and I have a couple of questions.
1. Can the Flash Player do frame accurate seeking when media is served via the HDS protocol? (I know it works using RTMP)
2. If it does work, is it impacted in any way if I also use Access DRM-Core or Access DRM-Professional? (I want stronger DRM protection than simple Access Protected Streaming)
Thanks!

Hello Simona_83. Try downloading Google Chrome (it's free). Install Flash Player via Chrome, and use Chrome as your browser. This is the only thing that worked for me after over a month of trying everything under the sun to get Flash Player working again. You'll have to use Chrome as your browser in order to have Flash Player capability, but so what. It works. If it works for you as it works for me, you will have Youtube again; you just have to access Youtube via Chrome. Don't waste hours of your life trying to get Flash Player to work any other way. Believe me, I wasted hours upon hours off and on over the course of a month trying to get Flash Player installed and operating.

Advance frame-by-frame on a streaming video

Hi,
i've recently installed Wowza media server 2 locally, currently only for testing purposes.
everything works fine, except of accurate seeking functionality - or in other words advancing frame-by-frame .
when i use VLC to play my video file i have no problems advancing frame-by-frame. however, when i use the 'seek()' function to move the playhead a fraction of a second, its seems to move only to the next key frame (meaning that only once every few mouse clicks the playhead advances dramatically).
i thought that when using streaming video (unlike progressive download) this issue is resolved. am i wrong? did i miss something?
thanks in advance,
eRez

II think you should post your query on Wowza forums - because this forum is for Flash Media Server and probably not best place where you can find Wowza server experts.

Crop Tool -- shortcut to advance to next frame since forward arrow doesn't work in crop tool?

Hi,
As a pro, I crop all my photos.
I normally use the forward arrow to move through each image, but with the crop tool the forward arrow doesn't work for advancing to the next frame.
It only adjusts the crop.
This is extremely frustrating for me as it slows down my workflow.
Is there a one key shortcut, within the Crop Tool -- that permits us to move forward from frame to frame?
I wish the forward key worked for this within the crop tool!
Is there an easy answer or a way to format something in Lightroom -- so I can have a one-key method to advance frames within the Crop tool?
thank so much, Teri

Thank you so much Jim, really appreciate you're taking the time to get back to me... its so helpful and now I can get my jobs done!
I just tested it on my Mac and it worked with the Command + arrow Key...
However, using two fingers for this shortcut is a little clumsy and uncomfortable...
I think there's a way to create your own keyboard shortcuts -- do you know how to do this, maybe assigning a single key which would be a little easier?
Thanks again so much for taking the time to answer this Jim and hope you have a great night!
all the best, Teri

Audio advanced by 3 frames when rendered

Hi,
Thanx in advance for your help.
I'm using CS5 Production Suite.
Cameras are:
Sony FX1000
Sony AX2000
Sony V1U
Sony SR11
Canon 7D
Sequences are created using an XDCAM HD 1080 30p preset.
I'm shooting live music videos & all videos are shot in 30P (most tracks at 1920 x 1080 with the FX1000 at 1440 x 1080, all at 48 Khz stereo).
The H.264 preset has been slightly modified to render at 1280 x 720 30P, audio is shot and renedered at 48 Khz stereo.
In the editing window things are synched perfectly. When I export to an MP4 file using the H.264 preset the audio gets rendered out of synch advanced by 3 frames. If I go into the editing window and delay the audio by 3 frames it renders the output file in perfect synch. This is true for on-camera audio tracks, multi-camera edited audio tracks and for tracks with imported audio wave files produced in Cubase by the sound engineer.
Can someone help me understand why this renders out of synch?
Thanx,
Mel

Thank you Harm for your help. When I use the new
item icon to create a new sequence the XDCAM presets match the parameters of
what my cameras shoot more closely than any others. I did take the base
preset for the XDCAM 1080 30p and modify it a bit to better match my cameras. But the only mismatch I have is that the FX shoots 1440x1080 1.333 pixels and the others shoot 1920x1080 1.0 pixels. But that's a video issue and I assumed it didn't affect the audio output. I've tried other settings, like the ones worked under CS4, but they produced jerky video and audio in CS5.
May I ask which preset you would suggest based on the cameras and parameters of the footage?
Thanx,
mel

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

HELP! How can I view a clip frame by frame in final cut pro?

Hi, does anyone out there know how to view a clip in final cut pro frame by frame. I don't really want to use the jogging function as you cannot see each individual frame just all the frames snapped together. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

It is really time to open the manuals, do the tutorials, and learn the basics of how this application works. You'll be amazed at what you learn it can do!

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....

I can't turn off picture frame by using the settings passcode...the button won't turn it off.

I can't turn off picture frame on the lock screen. The button accessed through settings won't let me turn it off. How do I do this? Thanks.

You can only turn off Picture Frame if you have a passcode lock set on the iPad - if you don't have a passcode lock then the on/off slider is protected

You can assign the same source group to two repeating frames.

Can't create a text frame

I started a new two page, two column document and added all the text id multiple text frames in both columns on p.1. When I try to create a text frame on p.2, I only can get the cursor in the upper left corner of p.w in the margin, not in the defined area of the document.
Can anyone please give me a suggestion as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Larry

Every document uses a master page, even if you don't choose to add new objects to it. The default master page will have a text frame or frames fitting the defined columns structure if you check off the "Master Text Frame" box in the document setup dialog.
It doesn't really sound like this is what is happening, though, in your particular case. A master frame would need to be overridden to interfere with creating a new frame on a document page. What it does sound like, though, is that you drew a frame to hold a background image or something similar that is filling the entire page area, but didn't actually put anything into that frame before trying to add your new text frame.
By default, clicking with the text tool in any empty frame or shape converts it to a text frame. If you understand this behavior you learn to work with it pretty quickly, or you can change the setting in your preferences if you find it annoying.

How can we split video into frames

in jmf, can we split video into frames, how can we do that?
thank you very much.

hi!
i'm also working on a system that requires the extraction of video frames.
is this the example you were refering? http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/FrameAccess.html
i tried the code and it always gives me a noProcessorException
i run it as: java FrameAccess c:\1.mpg
it says that "cannot find processor for c:\1.mpg"
is it because it doesn't support mpg files? then what media files can it accept?
or is it because my syntax for URL (c:\1.mpg) is wrong?

Possible to continuous advance video frame by frame?

In the prior program I was using I could do a frame by frame advance by holding down the arrow key (either forward or reverse). LR4 seems to want me to keep "pressing" the frame advance key for each frame (I am aware shift adavances by 10 but you still have to keep pressing repeatedly).
Thanks

Not that I know of.
