Compressor is adding ONE random frame to the beggining of my videos... why?

I am exporting a video with the settings depicted in the screenshot below.
For some UNKNOWN AND IDIOTIC REASON, compressor is grabbing one random frame from the middle of my video and adding it to the front of my video.
You can see it in all of it's stupid action here:
http://howtofightnow.com/check-your-****-email/
This causes an odd flash, and just generally looks horrible.
Why is it doing this inexplicable and absolutely unnecessary stupidity?

Sure.... transcode before you bring into the editor and then youre files are 150 times the size that they need to be for editing. Having filled up about 5 dfferent 4tb drives even after media manager, I'm done with that. How does a 64gb memory card filled turn into 450 gb when logged and transferred? It's too much.
NAS is related to distributed processing because you can't simply expect your Mac's to efficiently access a drive simply because it's shared.
For example, I have a 12tb G-Speed drive... the fastest connection I can provide to that drive is a Firewire 800 from my MacPro. That means that everyone is limited to that connection speed, as opposed to having the ability to connect directly to the data with a 1gb ethernet connection... wayyyyyyyyyy faster. That's multiple computers with a dedicated lighning fast connection, instead of everyone sharing one single moderate connection.
Additionally, if my editor is working and I restart my computer with the shared drive... media disconnect for him. I'm essentially tied to his activities. Beyond that, even if we share a project, you have to reconnect media from every computer you use because the path of referenced media is changed... instead of:
/gspeed/media being the source for media (if I saved it on my home computer), everyone needs to reconnect to:
macpro/shared/gspeed/media... this is a huge headache when multiple people are working on projects.
The NAS drive allows the absolute fastest, uninterruptable connection to data... my transcoding time has been cut down to about a FIFTH of what it was. You can do this through a normal shared folder, but depending on the hardware involved in your network, you might find yourself incredibly limited.

IPhoto has one (random) main photo for everything on top repeatedly with other appropriate photos behind it. How do I get off that one random photo so the real photos appear on top as it should be?

Backup your iPhoto library and hold down the option and command keys while launching iPhoto - hold until the first aid window appears and rebuild thumbnails - it may take a few tries

2 questions - one about Frame Rates, the other about Rendering

These are two areas I need to learn more about.
Any answers to my 2 specific questions below would be appreciated, but also, I need to gain a deeper understanding of these 2 areas, so if you have any recommendations on how/where to learn more, I'd appreciate that, as well.
1. I'm trying to copy a tape from an older 8mm Sony Handycam to my Canon XL-1 mini-DV, in order to be able to import the footage into FCP, however, it comes out all messed up, skipping and jumping in a way that makes me think the frame rate of the two cameras is not in sync. I don't know of a way to change, or even to confirm, the frame rate of either one of these cameras and have found nothing online. Yet, I was able to successfully copy a tape a few years ago, with the same equipment I'm using now, so I'm thinking maybe the frame rate was changed on one of these??? I don't know.
2. I've never really understood rendering - why some clips require it while others do not. The latest example was with footage from my Canon and a different (newer) Sony DCR-SR68. Because the format of this Sony is wider than that of the Canon, I shot it knowing that I'd be cropping off some of the left and right of the frame. So, in FCP, when I click and drag the corner of the wireframe in the canvas to make the Sony footage fill the square, it needs to be rendered in the Timeline. However, if I do the same with the Canon footage, it does not require rendering. I'm trying to understand why. If it makes a difference, the Canon footage was imported directly from the camera, whereas the Sony footage needed to be first imported into iMovie and saved as an MPEG before being imported into FCP.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr. Chappell,
Many older tapes have sat on shelves etc. for many years, It is
a good idea to,
First make sure your 8mm is mechanically sound, throw in a blank or
unimportant tape and make sure it will play etc. without causing any
phisical damage to the tape.
Then put in a tape to transfer and Fast forward to the end and then rewind
to the begginning, this will re-pack/tension the tape.
then play the tape back briefly while looking thru the viewfinder or monitoring
with a tv, hopefully all looks well.
then connect and transfer to the mini-dv (best to use a tbc, but should work
without)then playback the DV tape briefly, again, with either viewfinder or TV,
if all looks good you should have no problems unless they are related
to capture settings (they should match the DV cameras video and audio sampling
rate, check for 32K).
Hope this helps,

Hi,
You need to explicitly grant the create table and create sequence privileges to the user owning the table. It is not enough for these to be granted by using a role. This restriction is documented in the user guide.
Also, you should add the entry in the user_sdo_geom_metadata view on the t1_lts table, which is the table to which you are actually adding the geometry column, after calling beginDDL. CommitDDL will make the necessary changes, which in this case would be to add an entry for both t1 and t1_lt.

Adding one more field to the Base line price screen (MEk3)?

Hi,
Now we are entering the base line price for each material.
My requirement is
1) Ability to enter in baseline prices by part by supplier.
If no supplier is entered then the baseline value applies to all suppliers. If a price needs to be recorded specific to a supplier, then the supplier code must be entered. Thus, a part may have two entries (one for all suppliers, and one or more for each unique supplier that needs to be recorded).
How to proceed for this requirement..how to start ...please help me..is this config change or code change..or it is related to custom or standrard change?
please help..

Hello,
You can define access sequence (SPRO->Materials Management->Purchasing->Conditions->Define Price Determination Process) for the condition type to look at Vendor/Material level and Material level in the sequence. Please make the access Exclusive so that no further search is carried out once a condition record for Vendor/Material level is found.
Thanks,
Venu

Adding one more table to the select statement joining 4 tables gives dump

Hi All,
There is a select statement using which four tables namely VBAK,VBAP,LIPS and LIKPUK(view) are joined(inner join).Here, date and time fields are selected from LIPS and used.
My requirement is to consider the Date (LIKP - WADAT_IST) instead of LIPS-ERDAT and time(LIKP-SPE_WAUHR_IST) is to be used instead of LIPS-erzet.
Neither LIPS nor LIKPUK contains time(SPE_WAUHR_IST) field. And, I cannot remove LIPS table or LIKPUK view as each contains a unique field which is used in the report.
When I tried to join LIPS in the select query, it is going to dump.
Can someone suggest a good approach ?
Thanks,
Pavan

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the dump.
The dump details together with your code lead to the answer: 42.

FCP adding random frames to my exports

so here's my problem
i exported my sequence using "export with current settings"
but when i do i look at the export and there are suddenly random frames thrown into the cut
i thought, 'man i must have not watched the cut before i exported'
so i went back and looked at it, it looked fine, those frames are NOT in my sequence
to absolutly make sure i went to the same part in the sequence where the added frame was on my export and went frame by frame to make sure
there aren't any random frames in the sequence only the export
i have tried exporting through QT conversion too and it still added those random frames
why can't i export without those frames?
i'm working in FCP 6.0
Message was edited by: dreadheadhb

alright what the heck is going on???
i'm really starting to hate FCP 6 !!!!!!!
so i opened my original scratch media in QT and exported then deleted the old file that was giving me trouble
then when i open my project, fcp is asking me to reconnect
so i choose the new file and it won't let me connect!!!!!!!!
http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f1d9dbc665.png
it won't let me connect!!!

GPU Acceleration causes random frame in encode?

New Mac Pro (6 core, d500 cards, 32GB RAM, OSX10.9.4). Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.0.1. Tested on two separate machines of the same configuration.
I have a just over 2 hour long 1080p ProRes file that I was encoding to MPEG2 for DVD. During QC of the disc, a random frame from another part of the movie was found in a spot about 39 minutes into the encode. The issue was in the encoded MPEG2 stream.
The client also wanted a lower resolution h264 proof of the video, and that was encoded on the same machine at a separate time. That had the same random frame at the exact same spot.
I encoded the preview h264 in just a few minute segment of the video around the glitch on the second Mac Pro. It showed up again. I used the same setting but turned off GPU Acceleration, and the frame is gone.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here? Obviously there is a problem with GPU acceleration on the new Mac Pro's with Media Encoder, but what could be specifically causing it and what could be done to fix this? With all of the issues in Premiere and After Effects, some of which are being caused by software updates, and the issues with the one Mac Pro needing to be replaced due to bad video cards, I feel like there is just a ton of problems that didn't exist on our outdated Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 7.
Please let me know of any ideas to make me not doubt every encode I do on these machines with GPU Acceleration turned on. Thanks.
-Phil

Does anyone have any additional ideas on this? I heard from the CreativeCow forums that this has been a known bug with GPU Acceleration on the new Mac Pros. Is this the case? Has anyone else had this issue looked at by Adobe?

Any way to batch add a frame of black at the end to several videos?

I'm working with a huge number of files that I have to convert to MP4, but I was asked to put one frame of black at the end. I didn't find any way to do this in Media Encoder, I'm importing the files onto Premiere where I have a second of black video at the 30;00 mark since all the files are 30 seconds exactly. The out point is set to 30;00 to it only puts one frame in there. This is obviously going to take too long because I have to have a ton of duplicated empty sequences, plus importing all the original files onto Premiere. The only automated part will be exporting all the sequences, but I'm trying to find a way to automate this even further, just dropping all the original files somewhere and have them all re-encoded with one black frame at the end. Does anyone know if this is possible? Or if not, any other software on Mac that might work for this purpose?
Thanks

Hello Ben,
I have been running into this problem for 2+ years. I have a friend at Apple who used to work in ProApps. He checked around for me and it is a known (but obviously ignored) issue with the third party codec Apple has licensed for 3G video. It affects 3G video exported from QuickTime Pro, iMovie and yes even the very expensive Final Cut Pro, because they all use the same codec for 3G. I use Compression Master instead. It is now incorporated/acquired by Telestream (makers of Flip4Mac).

How to display newly added bookmarks on top of the list in Unsorted Bookmarks? (not in Bookmark Manager window)

I have hundreds of bookmarks.The Bookmarks Toolbar is filled.I made a shortcut of the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and placed it in on the Bookmarks Toolbar.Whenever I click the star to add a bookmark, it adds one to the real Unsorted Bookmarks, which add a copy of that bookmarks into the folder named Unsorted Bookmarks which is on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
When I click on the Unsorted Bookmarks(both original and shortcut folder), it displays the oldest bookmarks on top, which honestly makes no sense to me because the user has to scroll a lot to get to the newest bookmarks, which are more likely to be used than the old ones that have been sitting there for a long time.Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by a reversed chronological order and display newly added ones on top of the list ?
I am aware that you can do this in Bookmarks Manager window(called Library?) but it requires too many steps and it's time consuming and not easy to use in general.I'd rather click on the folder on Bookmarks Toolbar to open my bookmarks, but they show old ones on top.
Thanks !

Hmm, you might need to create a "smart folder" for this. You may have noticed some blue folders in your bookmarks such as "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked". These show the results of a query run against your bookmarks or history (Places database) and you can create your own queries with a little elbow grease.
So one possibility might be to create a custom "Recently Bookmarked" folder that extends beyond the current limit of 10. I gave the steps for creating a 20-item version of this folder in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/934205#answer-358492
That example searched ''all'' bookmarks and not specifically Unsorted Bookmarks. To create a new "smart folder" for Unsorted Bookmarks, you could try this:
(1) Select and copy the following places search query:
place:queryType=1&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&sort=12&excludeQueries=1
''(For definitions of those parameters and many more, see: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Places_query_URIs])''
(2) Expand the Bookmarks Menu (e.g., from the toolbar button or menu bar, or in the sidebar or Library dialog), right-click the first bookmark, and choose New Bookmark
(3) In the Location field, paste the query (Ctrl+v or right-click > Paste)
(4) In the Name, enter something like Unsorted Desc (for descending order) or the name of your choice. Then click Add.
(5) Drag the new bookmark to the desired location on the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you are using the menu, click and drag and hover over Bookmarks Toolbar until it expands. Once it is on the toolbar, you can easily move it again to the desired location. During the first move, Firefox will recognize it as a query-type bookmark so that is why I have you create it on the menu and move it to the toolbar.

When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona. Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation. I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline. Any Idea how to fix this? I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

Random frames in sequence after render, Premiere Pro Cs6

I've had this problem a few times before, but I'm going to finally open up about it since this is happening beyond my personal projects and is effecting my corporate work.
After I do a render of my entire sequence I end up with a frame of a title I created at the start, in all my cross dissolves.
Here's a video of the problem. I've read of someone having the same problem in the past, but I can't recall how they solved it.
I really don't understand what the problem is, and it's effecting my work. I've tried clearing my cache, re-rendering, clearing render files, and re-rendering, and all the procedural stuff.

That worked in removing the opaque title in this specific situation. I'll keep it in mind for the next time I need a solid background color. Thank you.
But how would you go about trying to resolve a random frame in the middle of a clip? The frame is of a shot earlier in the sequence, and it has no reason to randomly appear in the middle of a rendered clip. No transitions, just hard cut and placed together clips.
I'd post screenshots of that situation, but I had already tore apart the sequence and re-rendered it to make it work.
For whatever reason, out of the blue, when I render footage a random frame from the sequence will occasionally embed itself in the video preview files that were just rendered in the sequence.
As for this project. I exported this corporate shoot, and the slightly opaque titles weren't in the cross dissolves, thankfully. The client was happy, but I was still confused as to why my rendered video previews would contain random frames of the sequence. For just a frame.

Loading Movie to Random Frame

I am having trouble with my script(AS3) that loads a random
frame when the movie starts. On frame 1 I have a preloader that
takes you to frame 2. On frame 2, I have an Array that is suppose
to choose from 2 frames randomly to start the movie. Well, it works
fine with 3 frame numbers in my array, but with 2, it always starts
on the the first frame number in the array.
Here is the code:

Change the last line on your frame 2 script.

Compressor adding white frames at the head of the movie converted

i used compressor to convert footage from mp4 to Apple prores 1024x576 16x9 and also change different frame rates to 25 fps
I resized all the big videos to 1024x576 and maintained the smaller videos like 640x360 in its original size as i will composite them together to maintain quality.
everything went well as compressor makes a very good job in resizing and frame rate coversion.
i noticed that compressor added at the head of the movies a white frame on most of the converted movies
and after importing the movies to fcp 6 i found that every time i use a movie with a white frame in the head Fcp crashes.
is it because of the frame rate as i noticed that the white frames are in the movies with for example 23.98 that were conformed to 25.
i cannot edit because of fcp quits.

What do you have the most of? 1920, 1280, SD?
What is the final deliveable? web, broadcast, blu-ray, SD DVD?
Maintaining the aspect ratio can be done in your sequence settings whether your sequence is HD or SD.
640x360 will still only fill about 1/2 of the 1280x720 screen at 100%.
You can scale it to fill the screen but you will take a quality hit.
In most cases putting 1920 in a 1280 sequence isn't going to make the baby jesus of quality cry.
In my experience upscaling SD outside of FC in another program doesn't usually help with quality.
I do the scaling in FC and know that I will have to render. I would still use Compressor for the frame rate codec conversion but do not change the source size unless you are converting to a more friendly broadcast size.
You may want to consider that SD footage doesn't have to fill the entire screen.
You can do other treatments to the footage so that you still fill the entire screen but the actual footage isn't being scaled to fill the entire screen. Blurred footage, stills, etc for a background can help with this.

Compressor is adding ONE random frame to the beggining of my videos... why?
