Choppy frame rate after cmd-j

Hello,
My son is trying to edit a .mov file he has brought into fce, every time he uses the razor tool and then chooses his split frame and applies cmd-j to 70% on play back the frame rate is choppy. I've tried the same clip using the same method on my copy of fce on my iMac 2.4 with 2gb ram (he has uni macbook with 2.26 and 2gb ram) my playback is super smooth. Any ideas as to the cause and cure of this issue..
Regards.
Jez

You can set the field order in FCE exactly as you can in FCP with the same tools. Without knowing any information about your media or what format you're editing in anybody's guessing.

Frame skip/choppy frame rate problems

Hi all,
I have been benchmarking different sprite rendering methods on iPhone, and seem to have a consistently choppy framerate when publishing using CPU. If I use GPU the frame rate is not choppy, but the overall performance is much slower.
I have a detailed analysis here: http://www.pixelthismobile.com/blog/1/10/2010/flash-iphone-wildly-fluctuating-framerate-or -frame-skip
All I am doing is drawing a number of sprites to a static bitmap on the stage (using copyPixels), clearing the bitmap before each frame.
Basically the framerate jumps rapidly between two values (a low and a high - for example 15 fps and 52 fps) at a very consistent rate of about 3 cycles per second. I am at a loss...
Would be great if anybody had any insights.
Regards,
Peter
p.s. This uses PFI v1, have yet to try with v2.

I'm starting to get to the bottom of this! Seems the choppy performance is being caused by my benchmarking routine, which pushes a single Number value on to an array every frame. I assumed this was due to memory allocation so I tried a fixed size array and simply setting a value each frame. Still choppy. So I got rid of the benchmark code altogether. All that is left is this code: frameCount++; And the choppy frame problem is STILL there! Without the ++ it is fine o.O - how absolutely bizarre. Who would have thought a post increment would cause a choppy frame rate!? Still doing more testing so stay tuned...
Nope - it is frame skip

Mac loses performance in frame rate after gaming for 2 minutes

Hello,
I am owner of a 17" MacBookPro(2010), with an 2.8Ghz Intel i7 processor, 8GB RAM, 500GB HD, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M.
I game almost everyday on that machine, plus running 3d modeling programs, photoshop, among other graphic demanding programs.
Recently I noticed that my mac dropps its framerates after just 2 minutes gametime (graphic demanding time). After that it stays that way until I restart the machine.
Its really frustrating. I have tried a series of things like, installing maintanence programs which "repair the user's Permissions", after that I repaired any HardDrive errors, and freed unused space. This caused to have temporarily repaired the low frame rate issue, nevertheless after about 2 or 3 weeks, the problem returned and this time what I did seemed to have had no effect.
Now I have formatted my machine, uninstalled Mountain Lion, and reinstalled SnowLeopard (which was the OS that came with the product), and tried again by testing it with the same game I played before and the problem still persisted. Now I have absolutely no idea what to do.
Can someone please help me?
The game I tested it with is Riot's, League of Legends open Beta for mac. Has anyone had any similar experiences with that game? Could it be the game or my mac? Although I've played that game about 3 months without a problem until now, so I really doubt that it is the game's fault.

Hi Crowzer,
Im wondering that you have done a BIOS update if you had no problems before
I can only imagine that a BIOS setting is different now. So I would recommend loading the default settings in BIOS, then save & exit.
Also try updating your display driver. You can find the latest version on official Toshiba page too.

[SOLVED] Very poor video frame rate after upgrade

I'm relatively new to Arch, having been a Slackware user for many years (since Slack 3.5), so please treat me gently!!
I installed Arch about a month ago from the network and had everything running well, including Firefox 4.0. Today when I started the PC and ran Firefox, I received a message recommending that I install Firefox 4.0.1. I duly downloaded the Arch package for FF 4.0.1, but it wouldn't run, complaining that it couldn't load XPCOM. I searched through the Arch forums and found a suggestion to run Pacman -Syu to upgrade the system. This upgraded around 140 packages, including quite a few Xorg ones.
Now I find that watching any sort of video in Xorg (e.g., The BBC weather forecast in Firefox or BBC Iplayer, or even glxgears), the frame rate particularly at full-screen is abysmal, dropping as low as around 2 (two!) frames per second. Glxgears manages around 9 frames per second. Before today's system upgrade, glxgears achieved exactly 60 frames per second at any screen size and BBC video was smooth at full-screen.
I'm guessing that the problem is somewhere in an upgraded Xorg package, but I'm completely in the dark as to where to start looking. There are no obvious problems reported in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. I could post the content of this file if required, but it's huge and would make an extremely long post.
Please could someone offer me some guidance on where to start looking for the problem and how to fix it. The hardware I'm running on is Asrock 890FX deluxe 3 motherboard, Phenom-II 955 CPU, Asus 1Gb Radeon HD5570 video card. 'uname -a' reports that the kernel is 2.6.38-ARCH.
I hope I've posted this in the right forum. If not, please advise accordingly!
Thanks in advance for any clues!
Gerald.

The files in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder are the standard ones, so they should not be the problem.
I've looked in your xorg.log, and while the problem is not clear immediately, you got several (WW) and (EE) messages in it.
[ 27.795] (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF/" does not exist.

these are safe to ignore

without acpid installed, your monitor probably won't be blanked when you're system is inactive for a while, but otherwise this should not be a problems.

vesa and fbdev are intended as fallback options, it's better to install them.

Re: Satellite X200-20F - Slow frame rate after BIOS update

Hello!
I have a Satellite X200-20F bought about 4 years ago. I changed the bios into 2.70 recently and I got a problem when I play games:
The performance of the laptop decrease suddently after a couple of minutes of playing. For exemple, when I play +Fable 3+ or +Duke Nukem Forever+, the framrate goes to 10-15fps from 40-50fps. I need to restart the game to fix that, but even that, the problem come back...
Before I had the 1.40 version of the BIOS and no problems.
What should I do?
Do you have any advises?
Thanks in advance,
Best reguards.

Best frame rates for 4 different cameras in multicam

Well, I've been flopping around in different threads on this forum, but I think the question is beginning to finally take shape for me. Basically it's all about deciding on frame rates for four different cameras I will be using to shoot a 6-day intensive course I will be teaching. The video will be primarily for computer viewing (YouTube, Quicktime movies). Here are the cameras:
2 new Canon cameras capable of frame rates of 60i, 30 frames per second progressive "recorded as 60i", and 24 frames per second progressive also "recorded as 60i" (there is a known issue with importing the 30 frames per second into fcpx, as fcpx does not recognize this as progressive, but ClipWrap can get around this).
1 Sony capable of 60i, 60P, and 24P
1 Sanyo capable of 60i and 30P
Possible settings:
Just do all at 60i, but people say this is not so good for computer viewing
Canon at 30 fps (using ClipWrap to see it gets recognized as progressive), and the Sony and Sanyo at 60i. Will this cause syncing or other problems, mixing frame rates like this? How bad a hit in quality is 60i on computer screens?
Canon and Sanyo at 30 fps, Sony at 60i
Same as #3, but use JES Deinterlacer to get Sony 60i to 30 fps.(I tried this out, by the way, and the resulting frame rate, after deinterlacing, showed up in the inspector window at 30, not 29.97. Is that a problem?
Anyway, I aplogogize for wearing out my welcome on this forum, and I thank everyone for creating such a wonderful bank of information.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve here - for the best overall quality, if possible, choose a frame rate that all the cameras can achieve. That way you won't lose quality in the conversion.
If you're not satisfied with that, you need to do some tests to see which gives you the effect you like best. Nobody here can help you really - it's up to you.

Frame Rate Convertor results in choppy footage

I have some 60fps footage shot on the HVX200 at 720p/24pN that I wanted to use in slow mo, buuuut, after importing it into FCP 5.1.4 using the DVCProHD 720p/24 easy setup (without removing the advanced pulldown and duplicate frames) I get very choppy footage aftern running the FRC. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Someone please help!!!!!!
Thanks
K

OK, just did something to make me feel like a complete idiot. I decided to follow my own advice and RTFM for the Cam. It seems that on the HVX 200 you have to make sure that two settings are correct for VFM recording. First, set cam to 720/24pN or 30pN and THEN, goto the Scene File and set the Frame Rate there to whatever you desire.
I had skipped this last step and just the recording format to 720/60p. That will not work and now I know this.
I can't wait to test this the correct way and see what I get.
Thanks for all the help.

Okay so i had an iphone 5. I backed it up on icloud. Then i got the new iphone 5s i restored ot from icloud from my previous iphone 5. Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Please help.

Okay so i had an iphone 5. I backed it up on icloud. Then i got the new iphone 5s i restored ot from icloud from my previous iphone 5. Now everything works find execept now the games are slowy and drops the frame rate and look choppy. Then i restarted my iphone 5s as a new device downloaded the same apps even the ones optimized for ios 7 and the games still lag. And i just got my iphone 5s replace. The funny thing is. While im playing games and their running choppy and slow and if i take a snap shot inside the phone. They run smooth and HD but just for a few seconds and boom they go back to slow and choppy. Is it the ios 7 or the iphone 5s it self? Like i said this is my replacement iphone 5s because the other 5s did the same thing. And it was running slowly.

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

After Effects CC import "Sequence Footage" frame rate settings in "Import" preferences

Just started using the new AE CC (v12 as Adobe will not refer to it as) I noticed one thing that seems to work differently from CS6 and that is in the preferences for import Sequence footage settings. It doesn't seem to work normally, at least for me. I don't know if this is an issue related to how AE CC works with the cloud but the dfault frame rate for sequence footage importing is 30fps. I am trying to import footage that is natively 23.97 at 24 fps. So like in CS6 I go to Preferences - Import - Sequence Footage - frame per second and change it from 30 to 24 frames per second. Closed the software, opened it back up, checked the settings and saw that they took, it still says 24 frames per second like I told it. But when I import a piece of 23.976 footage, it comes in at 23.976 as opposed to the 24 fps I set it as. Same goes for 30 fps footage, it comes in at 30 fps and not 24. User error is always my first assumption, I'm not proud i just want it to work, am I doing something wrong or just confused? Thanks for any help. p.s. help is not someone responding with, "I don't know" or "I don't have AECC yet". I know somebody is going to!

Hi Tim,
WOW! Thanks for the super-fast reply! As soon as I posted this I realised I should have mentioned that I am importing DPX files. I do import quicktimes as well but know that the footage import does not apply to a single file, only a sequence of files. But I still wonder if I may be either doing something wrong or am just a little confused. I have been using After Effects since CS3 doing compositing for film and I always use DPX sequences. I did a bunch of comparing and back and forth with AE CS6 and AECC while trying to figure this out. I always set my preferences up when I upgrade before I start working and I always set them up the same. I have been using CS6 since last July and it still works the same. What I did is imported five or six different DPX sequences, some were rendered out as 24 fps, some at 30 and some at 23.976. Assuming AE looks at the metadata to decide how to auto interpret, AE CC opened them all at their native frame rates of the just mentioned 24, 30 and 23.976 respectively, even though I told it to import at 24fps in the preferences. I also imported the same files in AE CS6 and they all opened at 24 fps like always. I know I can change the frame rate in the "Interpret footage" option, that is what I have been doing today so that I can work with footage in 24fps but since I have it set in the preferences to import image sequences at 24fps, I am perplexed as to why it does not do so, so I do not have to interpret the footage to my preferred frame rate, as is the case in AE CS6 as well as it was in CS 5.5 and CS 3. Since I was lucky enough to have an Adobe employee chime in Tim, I would be curious to see what you may find if you recreated this scenario. Would it be possible for you or someone at Adobe to set the sequence footage import frame rate to 24 fps in the preferences then try to open a piece of footage that is natively 23.976 fps in both AE CS6 and AE CC? Like I said, I certainly beleive I may be doing something wrong but I would be very curious to see what you find on your side. I would not be suprised if it imported at 24 fps in AE CS6 and 23.976 fps in AE CC.

After effects cs5 - frame rate mismatch wmv, flv, h264

Hi all,
I'm trying to render my compositions at 20 fps as wmv. Its important that they stay 20fps and that they are an exact length of time.
Since upgrading to cs5 I've been unable to do so as After Effects can no longer render wmv files at 20fps. By default it renders wmv at 25 fps so my animations are now 20% too quick.
According to adobe this is an issue with cs5 and wmv, flv and h264. It mentions a workaround online which involves creating a new output module
please see link.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/852/cpsid_85260.html
When I follow this advice and create a new output module the problem is worse, they now render at 30fps so are now 50% too quick.
For rendering wmv I am getting round this by rendering as Quicktime though I have yet to find a codec that offers file size and quality benefits of wmv.
But my animations also have to be rendered as h264 for viewing on a mobile device. After Effects can no longer render h264 at 20fps and I cant find a way round it.
Anybody got any ideas?
Also if h264, wmv and flv are unconstrained formats why would Adobe constrain them to certain frame rates in CS5. Seems like a basic feature thats been around for years has been disabled.
I tried tech support but they just sent me a link explaining what a frame rate is.
thanks
s

Thanks for reply Mylenium, much appreciated. I dont think I do mis understand completely however.
I understand some formats are constrained such as mpeg. And some wmv formats maybe constrained in some ways, but to quote Adobe online help
"In After Effects CS5, there is a known issue that causes WMV and FLV output frame rates to be constrained unnecessarily."
I have also found the same issue with H264 format.
the online help goes on to say
"By creating an output module template and applying this template to a render item, you bypass this bug."
Unfortunately in my experience creating an output module template does not bypass the bug, but it makes it worse.
The same projects worked fine and rendered correctly in CS3 as flv, h264 and wmv. The render issues occur in CS5. Like you say Adobe has the 64-bit environment to contend with.
When you say manually over ride the frame rates in the encoder panel I guess you are referring to Adobe Media Encoder which is an option and maybe would give better quality results too.
thanks

Frame rate changes after psd imort

I'm not so experienced in Motion. When i start i use a PAL preset to create a new project. After that i want to import a psd file as project, in order to animate all layers. After that the frame rate has changed in 30 fps! I can't find anything in de user manual about it.
G4 pb 1,67 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.5 gb ram

You're creating 2 separate projects when you do this - one when you created a project using a PAL preset, then a second time when you imported a PSD file AS a project (this creates a brand-new project using the PSD file, it doesn't import it into the one you already created). The frame rate of a project can't be changed after it's been created.
What you need to do is create a new PAL project, then drag & drop the PSD file from the File Browser into your PAL project, hold there a second and choose "import all layers" from the drop menu, or use the Import command (NOT "Import As Project") to bring your PSD into your project.

Reconnecting media after frame rate change

Shane Ross wrote a reply ( see below ) to a person that had the same problem as I am now.
I shot with HVX200 using the Firestore that converted footage to 59.94. Then, mid-project I shot with the P2 which shot at 24. I now have 2 diff. frame rates
I tested some clips in Compressor comverting the 24 to 59.94.
Using FCP Studio 2 , I was unable to reconnect the media without the in/out points being off with varying degrees. Doing an entire re-edit will be painful.
QUESTION : Do I really have to convert the 24 to 59.94? Would it significantly affect output?
The codec is the same for all footage. ( DVC PRO HD 720P. )
THANKS!
[elizabeth charles] "My question is, is there anyway to change the files in my timeline to the conformed files without having to begin my editing again?"
Nope.
You did a bad thing. Editing, finishing, then changing the frame rate of your masters. FCP cannot reconnect to media with differing frame rates. Because the duration of the footage is different, and the frame rate is different. The footage has the same amount of frames..., but now they play at a different frame rate, so the duration is different. You'll have to re-edit with the new masters.
But...RECONFORM...that changes the frame rate, as well as the speed in which they play. 30fps conformed to 24fps will play in slight slow motion. If you want the footage to play at a different frame rate, but the same speed...normal speed...you need to use Compressor.
Shane

gang allows you to lock the viewer and canvas together so when you move one, the other moves the same amount. To match back your footage, you find a frame with a clear difference from the previous frame, for example when someone blinks. You then find the blink on the new source file in the viewer and then turn on the gang function It's the center thingamagic at the top of the canvas. You then jump around the shot in the canvas and make sure the movement in the viewer matches. you then find the in in the canvas and mark an in in the viewer, etc and replace the shot. If this isn't clear post back.
In compressor in the frame controls panel, you enable frame controls and set the rate conversion to best.

Quick Time Screen recording really choppy/ bad frame rate.

So when i record my screen using other programs everything is smooth and the video moves at the same speed as real time, but when i record using Quick time then the video is very laggy and the frame rate is really bad and things are just jumping around a lot.
Is Quck Time just not capable of Screen recording complex things? is it only capable of recording microsoft word? lol.
If someone can hep me use Qucik time to record me screen then that would be great, cause with the way it is now there simply is no point to using it at all cause it doesnt record the screen very well, it just lags and everything jumps around to much. Its like watching a slide show where the pictures change every 2 sec rather than a video.

Hello justo,
Well let's get this straight, if you activate the "custom" needs to disable "Show" not to be active in recording the two modules, when you enter the part of customization changes and exit, when he is back in "Demonstration" because the standard method of entry but if your looking for customization that you changed it continues on, not being changed.
This is my thought to what can entedender of your doubts.

How can I increase my encoding frame rate? I have no drops but it's choppy.

I am streaming from a 1280x720@60fps source. Ideally, I would like to output 640x360@25fps, but I am having trouble maintaining 25fps but I don't know why because I am not dropping any frames in the encoder or buffering in my upstream.
I have tried setting the auto adjust to degrade quality but it seems like that is not doing anything to boost the frame rate. It also seems like the frame rate setting is being ignored by the encoder as well as when I set it to 25fps, I can see the frame rate in the encoder log go above 25 fps in low movement scenes.
What can I do to get a more stable frame rate?
Actual upstream bandwidth is 2200Kb/s
Encoder is set to VP6, 1500Kb/s video + 128Kb/s audio
Datarate window = small
Quality = best frame rate
CPU = Phenom II x4 @ 3.0ghz
Encoder uses about 33% CPU using FME 2.5, 90% CPU using FMLE 3.2

Your camera DOES have a Firewire port. It may be called iLink, Firewire, IEEE1394 or DV.
