Differences Between Final Keyframes of Tweens

Check this out... it's something I never really noticed
before. Or never paid it much attention anyway, and thought what I
was seeing was just buggy behavior (going back to at least Flash
5). Now I realize it's some sort of actual distinction between
keyframes at the end of a tween (maybe it is a bug).
Screenshot
See how the top one has a distinct keyframe with a vertical
line on the left, and the bottom one doesn't have the line? I can't
find anything on this online.
I also haven't been able to figure out how the difference
arises. It seems almost random and I've tried quite a few things,
but can't find a pattern. It will even happen when the keyframes
and tweens are created exactly the same way with exactly the same
objects.
It wouldn't bother me except there is one key behavior issue.
The blank keyframe after the upper one works as expected. However,
the blank keyframe after the bottom one isn't really blank. If I
put any object in there, it becomes the same object that is in the
keyframe before it.... and I can't even swap it, it's stuck as the
same object from the keyframe before it.
Anybody know what's going on here?

Hmmm - can you send me this exact FLA? This has always and
only been associated with the Sync
feature. Basically, Flash turns this on but only if you
create a motion tween by using the contect
menu (right click) selection. if you apply a motion tween via
the properties panel then Sync is NOT
on be default. This vertical line is a visual indicator that
Sync is not on (think of it as a wall
stopping the syncing of frames with nested frames in the
symbol being tweened).

  • Differences between Final Cut Express HD 3.5 and Final Cut Studio 5.1

    Hi, all,
    Unfortunately, I didn't find a list of what the main differences are between those two products on the Apple website - only about the latest versions of the programs.
    Since I consider buying a used version of Final Cut Studio 5.1, I would appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what the main features are that come along with FCP as compared to FCE.
    I am shooting HD with Canon HV30, so I am primarily interested in the HD features. Thanks a lot!
    Cheers,
    M.

    Filters in FCE process video on a field-by-field basis; in FCE, only Generators process video on a full-frame basis, i.e. in considering both fields of each frame.  By contrast, FCP allows you to choose how Filters process video:  field-by-field or full-frame.  For interlaced playback (e.g., on an NTSC monitor), field-by-field processing may be best, but not necessarily; but for progressive scan playback (e.g., on a flat screen TV, as well as on a computer monitor), video that was shot in progressive mode needs to be processed on a full-frame basis in order to avoid getting artifacts -- at least when applying certain effects.
    In short, depending on the mode in which the video was shot, depending on the playback mode, and depending on the effect that you are applying, you may need to control how the corresponding Filter processes video (field-by-field or full-frame), and you can do this only in FCP.
    This is also true when applying certain effects that are not explicitly labeled as "Filters", e.g., zoom.  For example, if you use FCE to zoom in, over time, on video, the second field of each frame will be zoomed in slightly more than the first (since in essence, FCE "assumes" that the footage was shot in interlaced mode and that therefore, the second field was captured later in time than the first).  Consequently, during playback on a flat screen TV, where both fields are displayed simultaneously, the fields will be shifted left-right with respect to one another, which may be quite noticeable.

  • Differences between Final Cut Pro & Express?

    Been using FCP HD 4.5 for a while & needing to upgrade. Curious what the primary differences are between the new versions of Final Cut Studio and Final Cut express.

    Nice.
    Is there a comparison chart. Have used iMovie & older versions of FCP, curious if there's a side-by-side comparison of the feature set between the two.
    Print the two marketing pages and hold them next to each other?
    There must at least one review someplace on the Web that compares the two apps but, seriously, we're FCP users here; only a few of us have ever used FCE. Maybe they'll drop by and answer the question for you over the next few days. Patience.
    If you posted on the FCE forum I think you'd find most of the power users have never used FCP.

  • Difference Between Insert Keyframe F6 and F7?

    There must be a fine point that someone can explain:
    F6 inserts a keyframe into the timeline at the selected
    frame.
    F7 inserts a blank keyframe into the timeline at the selected
    frame.
    How are these different?

    So far, I am just learning this, I have inserted a blank
    keyframe where I wanted to insert some ActionScript (there was
    nothing else on that layer.)
    I take it then, say I have an image on frame one of a layer
    and then on frame 50 I want to enlarge that image and have a motion
    tween from frame 1 to 50, then that is where I want to insert a
    keyframe? (because there is already content on that layer?)
    Some pontification on this would be appreciated.
    TIA,
    Ken

  • Is there a difference between final cut studio and final cut studio upgrade

    i wish to buy final cut studio and was going to buy from the apple store but they recently stopped selling i have found on amazon two final cut studios one call final cut studio and the other called final cut studio upgrade the upgrade one is cheaper so this makes me think is this just like an expansion and do i need the original but both have the same pictures, descriptions and specs so are they the same thing just with different names or what? please help

    Final Cut Studio is the full install...where the UPGRADE means that it requires you to have a previous version.  It is cheaper because it only works if you have a previous version.

  • Difference between Final Cut Studio Software?

    I recently purchased FC Studio through a university program at a discounted rate. Will there be a difference in the actual program or restrictions for use?

    Mr. Gilmore is correct though I would point out the last statement is not always true. In the crossgrade madness from v5 to v5.1 (PowerPC to Universal Binary), Academic Versions were eligible for the upgrade and those users who took part ended up with commercial (aka upgradable) versions. This is not to say it will ever happen again, but, like pigs flying, who knows?*
    ymmv.

  • Real difference between Final Cut Express, FCE HD, Final Cut Pro, iMovie

    I have used iMovie HD 6.0.3 to make a very nice 10 part documentary. Now I need something stronger - capable of producing more than 45 minutes of audio/video, with commentary and music, incorporating photos and transitions that I choose. I understand that iMovie 08 is more automated than 06 so I don't want that. What is the next best step up for my needs? I plan on buying a new processor for this work - one that runs at top speed.

    Both FCE and FCP will do what you want ... obviously.
    Both will allow you to do keyframing, have a wide choice of transitions (pretty much the same for both) can do basic audio mixing; both will allow you the same number of video and audio tracks.
    FCE is a DV/HDV program only. If you are exporting to DVD you can use iDVD or toast and if your programs are not particularly long, say in the 90 min range you will get very nice results
    FCP is a studio; comes bundled with some very powerful apps including DVD Studio Pro and Compressor which gives you far more control over your DVD creation.
    FCP is also more suited to "broadcast" concerns with tools like Color and its ability to handle a wider variety of video imputs that FCE; FCE is DV/HDV only
    FCP also has more tools like batch capturing and media manager that may make working with large projects with lots of footage easier
    For the last four years I have used FCE to produce long form live envent videos and shorter corporate promotional pieces to DVD and it has done that work nicely.
    FCP allows a wider range of export options but you can also acquire that with FCE by purchasing Quicktime Pro (it comes with FCP)
    FCP is far more expensive. Yes, you get more apps with it but FCE comes with versions of two of them, Livetype and Soundtrack
    Bear in mind that both these systems are VERY different from iMovie and there will be a learning cure. It requires some patience and the ability to put iMovie's workflow out of your head.
    Switching just before any kind of deadline would not be a good idea

  • I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

    I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

  • What are the differences between Turn in Final Timesheet and the other option: Send Progress for Selected Tasks?

    Thanks

    You are partially correct and partially wrong.
    Turn

    the timesheet to the Timesheet Manager for Approval
    but task update always goes to Status manger of the task. Taks manager you can see in MPP(insert status manager field then check)
    Yes
    after approval progress will be available in MPP as well as in Projectweb app as % complete . 
    Send
    Progress for Selected Tasks 
    Send progress of selected task to status manager after approval update will be available in both MPP and Projectweb
    app as % complete.
    In Send
    Progress for Selected Tasks Timesheet
    Manager doesn't receive anything in his Approval center
    because all the update directly go to Status manager Approval center.
    Here you have to understand
    that there are two role Timesheet Manager(for timesheet approval) and Status manager(for task

  • The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

    Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
    Thanks,

    "Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
    Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
    • Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
    • Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
    Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."

  • Difference between FCEHD & FCP

    Hi,
    This topic might have been posted before and I'm quite new to these 2 pro apps.
    My school currently has FCEHD and I'm more interested in FCP and may be attending courses for it.
    What is the difference between these 2 apps and will I be able to incorperate skills from my FCP course into the FCEHD?
    Thanks

    I believe the biggest difference between the two is the fact that FCP comes bundled w/ DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, and Motion.
    Other than that as far as the Final Cut programs go there's really not much of a difference it seems execpt for Muti-cam, Setting default transitions, stuff like that. I dunno I might be missing something but I've owned FC express 2 and I just HAD to purchas Motion 2 because I didn't have it w/ FC Express then I took advantage of the Motion Crossgrade to Final Cut Studio and that's my story.
    What I missed between FX Express 2 and Final Cut Pro is the Keyframing and 3-way Color Corrector but since this is now available in FC Express 3.5 I can't really see the difference between the two as far as editing goes unless it's a convience issue but if you want more than just editing video (ie. professional DVD authoring, encoding, Motion graphics) then Final Cut Studio is definitely worth the $$$!
    If you ask me though; sooner or later you ARE going to feel the need for the programs bundled w/ FC Studio (Motion and DVD Studio Pro) and since you can not upgrade from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Studio it might be worth it to use the $300 USD that you would of spent on Final Cut Express and put that towards you investment in Final Cut Studio.
    Do it!
