Dreaded Frames

I need to incorporate a query form and results pages from a
remote database with a vendor into my site and must use frames to
do so (they tell me).
Is it possible to have one or two frame pages in a site that
otherwise has no frames? Or is this going to be a mess with links
and navigation bars rendering page within page?

Frames are usually always a mess, but sure, you can do that.

How to overcome "dropped frame" issues on my project

Hey reader,
I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 250GB hd (85GB free just now) running 10.4.11, FCE HD 3.5 (and QT 7.5.5) and using a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 (which is works BEAUTIFULLY with iMovie 08 and 6 and is always used with Sony tapes) and I am not able to "capture" the tape content to my MacBook Pro because of the "dropped frame" issue.
The camera is connected to the external hard drive chain via Firewire cable to the MacBook Pro and I was trying to capture to the internal hard drive. I am in the UK and am still struggling to get my head around the different frame rates but initially I got the dreaded "dropped frames were encountered during the last capture attempt" and it just wouldn't work, so I unselected the report dropped frames tab and abort capture in User Preferences as was suggested on here.
Now I get "Capture encountered a problem reading data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved" but the tape is fine (heads are also clean) as I had to (under time pressure, me) use iMovieHD 6 instead and it worked like a CHARM.
What can I do to use this software?
I KNOW I can import the iMovie footage but the disadvantage is the eternal rendering, I guess. I only ever used it once (because of its difficulties) and that was for pre-existing footage from iMovie and it was OK if not perfect. Just had to have a few hours extra for the constant rendering in preview...
Should I try to capture to one of the external hard drives? I read that the internal might be a problem as it is busy with the operating system jobs.
Please and thank you.

I got some dropped frames last night and posted this before noticing your post:
There can be a number of reasons for getting dropped frames during capture.
Yesterday I videoed a relative's wedding (in HDV) and on getting home late I captured the footage into FCP 6.0.3 only to find in a couple of places I got an abort on dropped frames.
This morning I decided to recapture and did so without a single dropped frame.
Why ? ......... there are several possibilities.
It could be that there was some physical problem with the tape or camera heads but I believe it was most likely caused by my camera's power supply.
Last night I used the battery whilst this morning I plugged in the power connector.
I feel that this provided a more constant supply of full power and helped prevent frames from being dropped. (The fact I was using FCP is immaterial as the dropped frames would almost certainly have also occurred in FCE).
From now on I will always use the power connector during transfer to and from the camera.

AE CS6 renders 7-68 frames out of 889, but gives the "ding" and claims it's done!

So, I set up my first render with CS6. Nothing too complicated, 889 frames long. I hit "Render" and it starts.
About 30 seconds later, I hear the "ding," and am surprised to see that according to the program, the render has finished successfully. "Wow," I think, "CS6 sure is fast. A little *too* fast..."
And sure enough, the render only exported 13 frames! Umm, odd. I check my settings and yes, I've set it to export the entire comp (the Work Area spans the entire comp anyway).
Okay, strange fluke. Try again.
7 frames. "Ding!"
Ugh, try again...
15 frames. "Ding!"
And so on... 68 frames. 35 frames. 9 frames. 37 frames.
What the hell, man! Why does AE think it's done the render successfully, instead of throwing an error? This is completely unacceptable. Obviously I'm not doing anything wrong here, otherwise the number of frames would be consistant.
When I import the partial renders back into the comp, lay them on top, and export again (to avoid re-rendering those frames), I can get a longer export. So clearly the problem ony comes when there's real work to be done by the renderer, but it never renders more than 70 unique frames each time, and usually I get far fewer, 15 on average.
This is just stupid, I can't live like this. There's no logic to this problem, which pissed me off so much that I punched a door.
I've had nothing put headaches with AE CS6 (the new 3D renderer won't initialize with my CUDA GPU, and refuses to fallback to CPU; Dynamic Linking is slower than CS4, etc.), but I've been able to put off troubleshooting these problems so far, and I wasn't worried because there's always an answer out there somewhere, but this is a frickin' showstopper.
Please help!

I'm using the default "Lossless" (AVI) settings in the output module, sometimes "Lossless with Alpha" or similar setting. I almost exclusively use uncopressed renders for all my AE projects, as I prefer to use AME or PrPro when rendering out to compressed codecs.
I've been working with multiprocessing disabled for awhile, so I haven't had to deal with this problem. But I have a moment to breathe between jobs now so I can more fully describe my setup, and run some tests.
Most (but not all) of my projects have been largely made up of RED footage (r3d files from the original RED ONE as well as Scarlet/Epic), both 1080p and 4K. But I also frequently work with DSLR footage in the dreaded h.264 format (both mpg and mov). Performance within the program itself (including previews) seems quite good, regardless of which codec my layers are made up of.
For effects and such: some projects have nothing but text layers and masks, while others have extensive keying, color correction, and animation. And some use the 3D ray-tracer and are made up of nothing but shape layers and color mattes, having no video footage at all.
Since I last moaned about this issue, I have re-installed the CUDA toolkit (instead of just the graphics driver), and now the ray-tracer is working better, and Dynamic Link performance is better, but unfortunately, the problem described in the original post remains...
When I have Multiprocessing enabled, any render of a comp with more than one layer seems to exhibit this problem. After trashing my preferences, I have been able get a succesful render or two with multiprocessing enabled, if the project is not too complex, but soon after the problem returns for all projects (it's hard to be precise about exactly when, and what project, triggers its return). I have no idea if trashing my prefs has anything to do with granting a momentary fix, or if it's just a coincidence. When multiprocessing is disabled, I generally have no problems of any kind when rendering (other than it being much slower, as expected).
My system:
OS: Win7 x64 SP1
CPU: Xeon E5504 (x2) @ 2.0 Ghz (8 logical cores total)
GPU: Quadro FX 3800
RAM: 24 GB
Multiprocessing settings:
RAM for other programs: 6GB
RAM per process/core: 2GB
Processors reserved for other programs: 0
Actual background processors used: 7 (this drops when I have PrPro or AME open reserving its own RAM, obviously)
NVIDIA driver: 301.32
CUDA version: 4.2
I can't seem to identify anything unusual about my setup or configuration, and my Multiprocessing settings use recommended guidelines from the AE team (which have proved optimal in the past).
Is there any other information about my setup that would be useful?

[CS4 or CS5] How to change frame of movieclip depending on relation to mouse

I have a movie clip that follows the mouse..
Its not done yet but its gonna be a dog chasing a/the mouse...
I want to have it where the if the mouse is left or right of the following movie clip it shows it walking toward the mouse... so something like
if mouse positions is less the the cursor + 10 (pixels) goto and play frame with dog walking left
and one for right
up
down
(I want this to walk till its directly under or over mouse and then laydown or jump only when over or under mouse.. IS THAT POSSIBLE?? )
(say its a 20 pixel wide object and 10 on each side will cover the whole thing and not just the exact center pixel, thats what the 10 + movie clip position is for, but Is there a way to tell it to goto and play whatever_frame when mouse is left of any graphic on the sitting dog section???
like the equivalent of onRollLeft or whatever.)
this is the code i have..
its the top statement that doesn't work the bottom 2 do..
Code
if (_xmouse < detail.x+10) {detail.gotoAndPlay(61);
detail.onRollOver = function() {
detail.gotoAndPlay(31);
detail.onRollOut =function(){
detail.gotoAndPlay(1);
I dont have all the animations made so if you know how to do this just do it with a shape like i did in frame 61 of the instance "detail" of the movieclip "dog"
if i cover all directions i shouldn't need the last one- onRollOut.
really what im asking for if you havent figured it out by now is to help me with the actionscript that will do what i did with the rollover and rollout, but put
1 (a shape of a different color in a frame in the clip dog) when mouse is any left of dog
2 (a shape of a different color in a frame in the clip dog) a shape of a different color when mouse is any right of dog
3 (a shape of a different color in a frame in the clip dog) a shape of a different color when mouse is directly under dog
4 (a shape of a different color in a frame in the clip dog) a shape of a different color when mouse is directly above dog
I already created the shapes and placed them in the appropriate frames..
you should only need to mess with the actions on the instance "detail" (the dog face in frame 1 of scene 1 in layer "follower"
my fla is to big to upload to this form so im placing it on my website
here

Hello utcpunk201,
I have edited your FLA but can't send you the file in this forum as there is no such option to upload FLA files here. I am giving you a brief detail what I have done with your file.
1. Just remove your frame script
2. Edit your script what you wrote on your MovieClip (instance name: detail). Use the script I am sending you below:
Script :
onClipEvent (load) {
    _x = 0;
    speed = 15;
    ymov = false;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
    endX = _root._xmouse;
    endY = _root._ymouse;
    _x += (endX - _x) / speed;
    _y += (endY - _y) / speed;
    if (_root._xmouse > this._x + 20)
        this.gotoAndStop(90);
    else if (_root._xmouse < this._x - 20)
        this.gotoAndStop(61);
    }else{
        ymov = true;
    if (_root._ymouse > this._y && ymov == true)
        this.gotoAndStop(120);
    else if (_root._ymouse < this._y && ymov == true)
        this.gotoAndStop(150);
3. Change the dog movieclip name with detailmc
4. Use a small line in your dog movieclip's frame number 61, 90, 120 and 150. Write down this line : _root.detailmc.ymov = false;
Now export your Flash file. It will work. I can send you the edited file if you can give me your email ID.
Thanks

Application Frame Stuck below screen bottom in PS CS6

After connecting to a flat screen TV for a presentation yesterday, the Photoshop CS6 application frame I was working on suddenly had the bottom edge below the screen on my MacBook Pro. I can uncheck Application Frame in Window to free up the project, but with it checked I cannot find a way to reach the bottom of the frame and the scale input control. Also cannot reach the lower layers in the layer menu. What gives?
Thanks in advance for your help!
D

Thanks Curt, I did that before as well. No dice. I even rebooted everything. But since my first post I was able to reach the bottom of the frame and resize it to fit by selecting "Scaled" and "More Space" in System Preferences / Displays. This reduced everything enough so that the PS Frame bottom was above the bottom edge of my display. I resized it and then reverted back to "Best for Retina display." Problem solved.
Cheers,
D

Dreaded "Not a Valid Widget" Error

Hi Folks,
I'm getting the dreaded "Not a Valid Widget" error when I try to import my Flash (Professional CS5) file as a widget into my Captivate 5 project. I've done my research on this problem, and found an earlier post from Vikranth regarding copying the AS3\static actionscript into the first frame of the Flash file:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3614964
However, I'm not getting enough detail about exactly where to past this actionscript into Flash.
Is this truly the fix? Even for the latest software fully updated?. If this is still the fix, am I going to have to do this every time I construct a Flash widget?
Very much appreciate your help,
Roger

I think you may misunderstand. Installing WidgetFactory or any other API on your PC is not an instant fix for some issue in your widget coding. I suggested that you go with an API because they are better documented than the Adobe templates and offer far more possibilities in the long run.
To get the most out of the APIs you need to read the tutorials and documentation provided by their creators. Only then will you understand the differences in the templates, which use a framescripting approach to coding, versus the APIs, which use a class-based coding approach. When using the APIs you do NOT use the Adobe templates at all to create widgets. You begin your widget directly in Flash.
Try these two tutorials first to get an idea of how it's done:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/building-widgets-in-flash/
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/2010/11/sign-up-for-the-widget-eseminars/
Flash and Captivate DO work together very well, but only if you know what you are doing. What's currently wrong with your picture is that you need to learn a lot more about how widgets work and how they need to be created. As your ActionScript 3 skills improve, so will your widgets.

Smartforms - upper frame in table

Hi expert,
I created a smartform. Inside a main window I put a table with outer frame, but in display mode there's not the upper frame but only left, right and lower frame.
why? any idea ?

Hi,
Select the table first.
Then in the table tab, click the select pattern button, a dialog box will appear in that select Display Framed Patterns and there select the appropriate pattern.
Now it should work, try and revert back.

RAM preview needs 2 or more frames to render playback - AE CC 2014

Hi everyone,
I'm having major issues with AE CC 2014 (13.0.0.214) on both Mac and Windows.
The dreaded RAM preview bug has been appearing at my office and home computer spanning 4 computers in all (so far) and it's really impossible to work in AE CC 2014 for more than 20 minutes without having to restart the app. I use a couple of plugins and scripts on my work computer (none of which are active in the scenes), but the same bug happens on my coworkers' computers despite being barebone AE. It also occurs on my Windows 8 PC at home.
What happens:
My co-workers and I animate, often with illustrator files, shape layers, and text. I animate, RAM preview, and repeat. After a certain point I'm no longer able to RAM preview without the warning message appearing about RAM preview and 2 frames. In addition, scrubbing through the timeline is very slow.
What I noticed:
Watching my activity monitor my memory usage builds up as I do my RAM previews and stays at the that peak level. Each time I ram preview or scrub through it increases more. Once it reaches the allocated memory for the program, in this case, 12 gigs, the warning appears and I have to restart to RAM preview again. Purging memory does not work and my memory usage is still maxed out.
More Info:
It's happened on my Late 2014 MacPro, a 2013 MacPro, and 2012 MacPro. All running OS 10.9.4. And my i7 3770 16GB PC at home.
My Specific work computer specs 3.7 GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5. 16GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC.AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB. OSX 10.9.4 (13E28)
No firewalls running
I've tested it with all other apps closed and still am able to reproduce it
No issues with AE CC 12.2
Not using Ray-trace 3D in any compositions
Memory-multi-processing disabled. Although same thing happens when enabled for renders and when also enabled for RAM previews.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I'm having the same issue, with the same symptoms. My Mac is older, but still ran CC with no problems.
AE CC 2014 (13.0.0.214)
Early 2009 Mac pro (4,1)
Processor 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
OSX 10.8.5
I have tried disabling all plugins and attempting a normal workflow of editing 720p footage together, and adding solids and custom shape layers. Basic effects like fast blur and some motion blur but nothing too crazy. A memory dump doesn't do anything to solve the preview issue, and after a program restart everything works fine for a few more RAM previews. I also had no issues with the previous version of after effects CC. I always keep multiprocessing off, no ray trace 3d and I still get the issue after a system reboot and no other applications started (even after removing all startup applications from my preferences).
As a last ditch, I have removed any and all antivirus software and disabled all firewalls as I saw this as an answer to a previous but similar problem.
I too would love some help, as this is beginning to be a costly time waster. Let me know if you receive an answer for this one.
My apologies if this is in the wrong spot, I am new to the community.

Letterbox - No frames

Hi folks,
Just wanted anyones advice, tips and techniques on creating a
letterbox layout for a site without using the dreaded FRAMESET.
My own approch would be to have a table 100% x 100% and align
a nested table within it positioned centrally both horizontally and
vertically. Which works in a majority of browsers with some
tinkering.
How would you guys approach this e.g. CSS, Layers PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE no frames or iFrames - just not viable for this site
with online marketing requirements amongst others.
Also would love to hear your findings with similar layout
issues when avoiding framesets
Cheers
J

REP-1219 for moved frame

I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.25.0 to customize a seeded Oracle report which is being run as a concurrent program in Oracle. I've added a field and moved down a frame and it's enclosed fields to make more room. Now I'm getting the dreaded REP-1219 for the frame I moved:
REP-1219: 'M_PERIOD_TOTALS1' has no size -- length or width is zero.
I've gone through the usual efforts to get the error to go away - make sure the frame is fully enclosed by its parent. Delete and recreate. Cut and paste again. But I'm still getting the error.
I've seen the notes and they suggest to make sure the height and width are not zero - frames don't have these properties in the property palette. And this is not a small frame so there's no way the size is getting rounded down to zero. I also see suggestion to convert the report to or from character to or from bitmapped. I'm thinking this is not the solution since all I did was move the frame.
Does anyone have a good way to deal with this error? It seems to pop up fairly often and it usually require a good deal of time to fix it.

Tracey,
Sorry this is not working for you.
As I said in my first post, I could not remember if reports 6 can save as a JSP. I went back to an old machine with 6 installed and there is no mention of JSP, the 6 equivalent is a REX file.
By changing the wd and ht of the problem object to > 0 the error will go away and you can resize it properly in the reports builder.
Open your broken report (i.e c:\sales.rdf)
File..Admin..Convert
Source type = rdf
Source = c:\sales.rdf
Dest type = rex
Dest = c:\sales.rex
Click OK
Now open sales.rex and follow my previous post to change the values (I THINK it would be the WD and HT parms of the frame that is causing you trouble.
After your changes are made
Save the sales.rex file
open reports builder
File..Admin..Convert
Source type = rex
Source = c:\sales.rex
Dest type = rdf
Dest = c:\sales_2.rdf
Click OK
Open c:\sales_2.rdf in reports builder

Please Help! PrE 4 "failed to return a video frame" on my project!

Big project, I finally pulled everything all together and on the render to H.264, I get "Adobe Premiere Elements (4) failed to return a video frame."
I really had hoped to get this in today (it's a video pitch for my dream opportunity). Any help you guys/gals can lend would be greatly appreciated!

Bill, thank you! Your article did help, and I was able to get the video to completely render. I essentially used a "Title" track, stripped down of its text/shapes to fill in all the gaps. Seems to have done the trick on that issue.
Unfortunately, I must have done something wrong, because the audio and the video are now terribly out of sync. The odd thing is, it seems to be matched sometimes, but then the video of me talking appears to speed up or slow down - the audio does not sound distorted but the video appears to be changing speeds. It's kind of throwing off my "Oh maybe I added too long of a gap Title frame and skewed the audio" theory.
I was dreading this moment. The moment when all is done and I can't export cleanly! Perhaps I should pose the audio sync problem as a separate question, because this is a fairly detailed project (lots of images/video popping up) and I fear that I'm having some sort of conversion or codec issue now
Any ideas? Thanks a million Bill, and everybody else!

Still Having Random Red Frame Issues

I've been reading several threads about the dreaded red frames when exporting through Premiere Pro CC or Adobe Media Encoder CC. I have installed the Premiere Pro CC (7.2.1) update and I have cleared my cache and re-rendered previews for the sequence. My source clips in my sequence are MXF files (XDCAM HD 35) and I am operating on a Mac OSX-Version 10.8.5
What is really frustrating is that I'm dealing with multiple clips in this format and it is totally random as to which ones are affected. Sometimes I don't even see the red frame when watching the clip through, but when I export it, it's there. I know that the fix mentioned in the previous thread was supposed to help those using ProRes files, but the MXF files are still being affected.
Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Kevin,
I'm still having this problem with the red frame errors. Also, it's not
limited to Premiere Pro. Just trying to convert one .mxf file to a .mov or
.mpg file through Media Encoder (while bypassing Media Encoder) is causing
the same issue. And it's totally random and intermittent with respect to
which file I send through. Also, sometimes, sending the file that didn't
work the first time back through AME again, sometimes converts successfully
and sometimes doesn't. There is no constant which makes it very difficult
to pinpoint the problem.

Putting a box or frame around some fields

I have a page (HTML client) that consists of a two-column layout followed by a rows layout in each column.
These fields are all text boxes, some of which relate naturally to their neighbors. The way the page looks however it's not completely obvious.
Is there a way to put a frame around certain groups of fields (and optionally have a title in the border of the frame at top, to 'group' fields together pleasingly to the eye?
As a cheap visual, something like this, where the 'x's represent the frame. Please forgive my dreadful ascii layout skills:
xxxx Title Of Group xxxx
x Field 1:______ x
x Field 2:______ x
x x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you want to create the form above, you can use Grid in Lightswitch.

"Film Safe" and "Mark repeated frames" don't seem to work?

Hi guys!
I'm new to this forum and new to FCP Pro - though I'm not at all new to non-linear editing (Media100, Avid, etc.).
A friend of mine is editing a feature film on a brand new G5 (dual) using a newly installed Final Cut Studio. Everything is working just fine except the marking of repeated frames in the sequence. I did my best to find the answers in the pile of books that came with the s/w, then tried to consult with editors around here - to no effect, alas! FCP is not very popular in Bulgaria (it's really a shame!) and the other two film projects that make use of it also have similar problems.
Can any of you, guys, help?
The problem in more detail:
FCP Pro 5 does not mark "on the fly" the repeated frames in a sequence. To be more precise, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't - and in a single sequence. If that wasn't enough, I'm not able to make FCP mark those dreaded "couple of frames" needed for negative cutting (inless the corresponding dupes are produced, that is!).
I have really tried to solve the problem on my own using the books and consulting people and have done a lot of testing and trying, so please bear in mind:
- "Mark repeated frames" is checked in "Preferences"
- I am using one and the same project and sequence for these tests
- the computer is G5, dual processor, 1 month old
- the software is Final Cut Studio, latest version
- I'm a bit pressed for time, as the editing must be completed by the end of Jan.'06
I will greatly appreciate your help!

GUYS, I NEED HELP !
ANYONE?

Insert time/frames shortcut?

Hello,
Is it possible to insert time from where the 'Current Time Indicator' is across all layers?
So it would extends all the layers and move all the keyframe accordingly..
In the adobe flash days pressing F5 would achieve the same effect.
So using this image as an example, pressing F5 would extends the layers/move all the keyframes after the indicator by one frame...
Hope the above makes sense
Many thanks for you help in advance

You're right, though, this is a massive pain. The more complex a project gets, the more you start dreading having to tweak timing in the middle.
The first thing I do when I need to add some time to the middle of a complicated composition is I sit back and have a long hard think about whether there is any way, any way at all, that I can avoid having to add time to the middle of my my complicated composition.
What's so frustrating, though is that 90% of the work is repetitive stuff that would be trivial to implement.
Even a simple tool, that just let you automatically select and drag:
- all layers that start after the playhead
plus
- in layers currently under the playhead, all keyframes from here to the end, AND the layer end handle
Drag that combo back and forward to your heart's content. That'd take so much of the pain away. It's a blunt tool - you may well have to either go back and fix things that were actually in motion at the cut, or prepare by putting keyframes round the cut point beforehand. Dragging back may cause some fun keyframe clashes if you're not careful.
But most importantly, it would make it trivial to drag a bit forward, a nudge back to get pacing just right - something that you just cannot do when every nudge currently takes several tediously careful ops to do...
And yes, you'd still have to go and correct any subcomps, but wouldn't that be a quicker job with a tool like this?
I'll stick this in a suggestion box if I can find one, but it seems like one of those things that's so bloody obvious and would make everyone's life so much easier that there's gotta be a reason Adobe haven't done it already. Like Apple taking half an eon to admit that ALL windows ought to be resizeable from their edges. Grrr
Sorry for the rant. One of those days.
