Edit Multiple Frames

I am working on a flash intro for a customer, and i've
noticed a spelling error that continues through approx. 200 frames.
Is there a way I can edit all of the frames at the same time and
just correct the spelling error once? I tried selecting all of the
frames and that didn't work...

If its on its own layer, it should not have more than one
keyframe. Anyway, you can use find and replace to fix it. Just use
"replace all". But, you need to stop it from being on more than one
keyframe...

Trouble with editing multiple frames

Hi guys,
I'm new to CS4 - learnt my flash many years ago on Flash 5. So anyway I'm trying to get used to the new Motion Tween function and having a few problems.
I've created a simple animation where an object fades in, stays put for a moment and then fades out (one motion tween with 4 keyframes). I now want to resize the movie clip across all of these keyframes cos I got it wrong to start with.
So I click 'Edit Multiple Frames' (everything disappears but that's for another question), drag the onion thingy across the timeline and select the frames on the layer I want to edit. I then click on the free transform tool and drag the invisible movie clip (you can see the outline!) to make it larger.
Result? Well it seems to scale the first frame, but the others are all left at the original scale. Hence animation now shows object fading in whilst getting smaller etc. etc.
There must be an easy way to do this. I've tried the motion editor but you have to do it keyframe by keyframe. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ben

Modifying an entire animation with motion tweens is not as easy as it used to be.
Here's the best answer you are probably going to get.
from : http://flashthusiast.com/2009/10/06/scaling-and-moving-new-motion-tweens-in-flash-cs4/
Scaling an entire animation that does have Scale X or Scale Y animated.
If you have previously scaled anything in the tween, doing this is applied to the first keyframe and the tween would animate to the earlier scaling (the auto-keyframing feature can be a detriment in this situation, especially when it comes to scaling due to the percentages being reset - for this reason Motion Presets also won’t help). In this situation, I recommend scaling using the Motion editor:
1. Go to the Scale X and Y properties in the Motion Editor.
2. Press the Alt key while dragging the curve in each graph up and down. This scales the entire scale animation at the same time (same as edit multiple keyframes).
3. If you need to proportionally scale the motion path for the tween as well, select the path on the Stage and use Free Transform or enter a new value in the Transform panel.
I have had success with the above method, but from what I can tell you can only do one property at a time on one object at a time. So it is an awful amount of work.
As for step 2: while dragging the whole curve it seems the property value is very reluctant to snap to whole integers and I often see values like 200.35%.
Same thing applies for dragging property keyframes up and down in the motion editor. Is there a way to get nice clean numbers? I I want to scale something by 50% I don't want 49.83% I find myself often keying in these values by hand.
For me even though scale X and scale Y are "linked / locked / contstrained" It seems I get mixed results with this feature. Changing scaleX doesn't always change scaleY

The edit multiple frames options comes handy in such case...

Brush Tool with Edit Multiple Frames

I'm doing some masking with the brush tool. Each keyframe I'm drawing a bit more of the mask. My problem is if I go back to the first keyframe and paint something it doesn't appear on the other keyframes.
I thought I found the solution with Edit Multiple Frames, but it doesn't seem to work with the brush tool.

Editing multiple keyframes the way you want is not possible (all the other tools like drawing squares etc. will only appear on the last frame, even if mutiple edit is selected).
Want You want to do is going backward: say: your mask is ten frames long, now navigate to the tenth frame insert a keyframe (you should now have 1 keyframe on the first and one on the tenth, both empty); now draw the last stage of your mask on the tenth frame. Then hold down the Alt key and drag the 10th to the 9th frame. Erase the parts you don`t want hold down Alt-Key and drag the 9th to the eight frame and so on.

Lock frame span when editing multiple frames?

I'm referring to the span of selected frames when in "Edit Multiple Frames" mode.
(I've attached an image of the thing I'm talking about.)
When I'm editing multiple frames, the multiple frame span "cursor"(?) always follows me around whenever I select a new frame on the timeline.
Is there a way to lock it in place or prevent it from constantly changing whenever a new frame is selected?

I think you're looking for the "anchor onion" option. Go to the button/menu directly to the right of the Edit Multiple Frames button, and choose "Anchor Onion" from the menu that pops up. That will keep the edit multiple markers stick in the same place.
Hope that helps,
Jen.

How to select and edit all frames in an animation?

I created a short animation for the first time yesterday, and I ended up drawing a few frames ouside the parameters of the stage. Now I want to adjust the position of the whole composition so that it all fits on the stage. Is there a way, like in photoshop with seperate layers, to select every frame and move them all simultaneously? Thanks.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How to edit video frames in Premiere like in Photoshop?

Hi all! So I have some videos I need to edit, and I am finally breaking into Premiere, might as well right, since I have CC, and I understand it is an awesome package.
I am learning as I go here, but as for right now, my main objective is to edit some info in the video. What would be real useful is if Premiere had like Photoshop tools bult in, so frame by frame, or for multiple frames, I can crop out, brush or pencil something in, or paint over something.
Real example: I have a video that has some phone numbers + promo codes across the bottom that is outdated and I need to change it. It runs across the bottom for about 30 seconds. What would be IDEAL is if I could select those 30 seconds, grab a paintbrush or outline the area with the selection rectangle, delete or paint it black, and then type in the new #'s.
I looked and couldnt find an option to do this. So far what I have done is export the video into JPG stills, 1447 files for a 60 seconds video. Now I dont have all kinds of hours to do this, but if desperate I will go frame by frame in PS and do that, but I am cringing at this solution.
There has to be something else... I know Premiere had some option to add subtitles but this is actual frame by frame graphic editing.
(Along similar lines, isnt this how old movies are converted to HD? They sharpen and edit frame by frame from the old crappy res to HD res?)
Thanks guys............

Thanks for your response!
1. Luckily as for the tel/promo code, they are on a back footer bg so thats easy then... but I am a noob at Premiere, whats the easiest way to "select" the desired frame set/duration? My instinctive method would be to put that red marker at the beginning and then **** click to the end, LOL... but I would need to micormange the duration to the exact frame so.....
2. There is a section at the very beginning where some overlaid text is fading away and I would love to get that out as well, but it IS on an iragnic background of a guy approaching a house so..... I know this may seem like a lot of work, but if absolutely necessary, is there a way, well I'm sure there is, but how do you clone out that text for like 20-30-50 frames and import them back into Premiere to export as a video file? When you export as JPG/TIFF sequence files, edit each one, can you simply re-import them to Premiere and it will process into an AVI or whatever?
Thanks!

Render Multiple Frames Headache

I hope I could get some guidance on optimum usage of Render Mutiple Frames as I have been hitting a wall with little-to-no success so far. I have read all the Adobe suggestions (thanks Todd Kopriva) and I still get failed renders when trying to render multiple frames. I am the guinea pig for the hardware setup for the department. Currently, the hardware is a Lenovo ThinkStation C20X, dual Xeon 6-core 2.4 GHz processors (24 available to AE with hyper-threading), 96 Gb RAM (yes, ninety-six gigs), Win 7 Pro 64-bit, nVidia QUADRO 2000D, AE CS5.5. Our department currently works in an unusual AE project file that is used for display advertising on an unusually-shaped gigantic digital screen in Times Square. Currently, the working comp is 2517 x 4478 which is then nested into two comps for output of TGA sequences that are: TOP = 440 x 3694 and, BOTTOM = 2517 x 554. Most of the working comp space is deadspace as the layout of the signs is comparable to a large upside-down capital letter 'T'. We are currently in transition as the signs are hitting their life cycle and we are refreshing them with a finer pitch-count - in essence, we are doubling the resolution. The new working comp is 5034 x 8956 that is nested into our output comps which are: TOP = 852 x 7386 and BOTTOM = 5034 x 1098. For the most part we do not use "crazy" effects, etc. I have tried rendering multiple frames and have yet to get TOP & BOTTOM to both render without either one or both of them failing using various trial-and-error settings in the preferences; I have limited the # of cores (have yet to try to exceed 8 simultaneous CPUs). I edited the preferences file to allow me to select more RAM per CPU (currently, my pull-down has 4, 5, 6 & 8 Gb RAM per CPU available for me to choose from). Maybe I am going under the false assumption that filling the machine with 96 RAM would allow me to effectively use more CPUs in rendering TGA sequences. I thought that was the whole point. I usually get errors like the following:
Output To: C:\Sonic RenderTest\Top\TOP_[####].tga
There is an error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 41 frames completed out of total 900 frames. (26 :: 142)
After Effects warning: A frame failed to render while using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. Allocating more memory to the background processes in Memory & Multiprocessing Preferences may fix this problem. (26 :: 142)
Didn't think this was possible with 96Gb RAM and 8GB RAM per CPU allocated. Any guidance here is greatly appreciated as I am on the hook with the rest of the department and with my boss as I convinced him that 96 GB RAM would make our lives easier.

Thanks for the reply Dave. From the projects cited above, one had a QuickTime with Animation codec and the other had H.264. I think we are getting close to honing-in on the issues we are having as it seems that anything with a .MOV as a source file seems to throw AE MP rending for a loop. Currently using AE 5.5. Conversely, MP plays very nicely with projects that do not include a QuickTime file as a source; I have been doing extensive testing using the following settings; 16GB/CPU - 4 CPUs used, 12GB/CPU - 6 CPUs used, 10GB/CPU - 8 CPUs used, 8GB/CPU - 10 CPUs used and 6GB/CPU - 12 CPUs used.
I guess I still have a few questions remaining in trying to troubleshoot the issue at hand:
- By any chance are there any MP improvements in CS 6 that may alleviate the issue we are experiencing?
- I am wondering if I am hitting a bottleneck getting the info (.MOVs) into RAM - to be more specific regarding my setup, in addition to my previous post - My machine currently has two 250GB SAS drives @ 10K RPM that are RAID 0. Disk cache is set to the default settings. We are considering additional drives - thinking one for OS & Applications, 1 for source files and one for output of the image sequences. Any insight to drives, where to set the cache, types of drives (SSD drives fall out of budget for the machine I have - already priced and axed. I think we are considering two more 10K SAS drives as an option)?
- This one is a longshot, but I thought I saw a crazy post somewhere in my research of this issue saying to get rid of QuickTime. I was always under the assumption that QuickTime was a vital prerequisite for AE. Any truth/validity in getting rid of QuickTIme?

Editing Multiple Text layers in Photoshop CC

Hi,
I have a problem when tyring ot edit multiple text layers and it's really a big problem as it crops up with virtually every design I do (websites, games apps...)
In previous versions of PS, you could select multiple text layers and edit them in bulk, so for exmaple, select a number of text layers, then change their font size (to say 20pt)... done.
However, with CC, there seems to be some odd 'ratio' editing goign on - if I select multiple text layers of different size and edit them (to all be 20pt, for example), it seems to just 'add' 20pt to what ever font size the individual layers were
It's a real issue/pain for me (and I suspect many others)
Please is there a fix or a way to switch off this 'feature'?
So to clarrify, I want to edit multiple (often different) text layers in one go to be the same font size... like I used to be able to.
Thanks.

The last few times we saw this, it was due to a bug in a video card driver.
Please update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

I'm trying to print multiple frames from a website onto separate pages.

Firefox has this option on OSX (each frame on separate page), but safari seems to lack such an option.
I need to print multiple frames (invoices from zencart) each on separate pages. When I try to print with Safari it will either try and print the selected frame, or it will print all the frames as it's laid out on the page (all printed on one page). Am I missing this option somewhere? Is there an extension I can try (already tried print plus to no avail)?
Thanks for all the help!

Wasn't aware of that, I'm trying to disable Full Screen completely in all Apps on my Lion.

Creating GIF images, how do I edit all frames at once?

Hey everyone. So I now how to make GIF images already. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to edit all the frames at once. I would like to brighten them up and add curves, maybe sharpen.
I tried selecting all the layers, but then all the image editing options greyed out and weren't available.
I really don't want to individually edit 58 frames, lol.
Is there a way to edit all at once?
PS - I'm using Photoshop CS3, if that helps!
Thanks a lot!
Mike

amazing, you're just amazing!!
thank you SOOOOOO much!
take care,
Mike

How to use TextFormat on multiple frames

I must be missing something, but how on earth do I make it so
that I can set TextFormats for the whole movie and not just the
frame the actionscript is on.
My movie is basically a video with cuepoints that trigger
different keyframes that display text appropriate to what the
person featured in the video is talking about. In other words it's
like a powerpoint presentation that's run by an FLV file. Almost
all of the blocks of text I'll be displaying are bulleted lists and
since, for some odd reason, bulleted lists aren't available using
the standard Flash GUI text formating tools I need to apply them
via ActionScript. All the ActionScript is in its own keyframe at
the beginning of the movie timeline. I've setup my text formating
code like this:
var bulletlist:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
bulletlist.bullet = true;
bulletlist_field.setTextFormat(bulletlist);
While I have successfully applied this to a box of text on
the first frame of the movie, I haven't be able to apply it to text
on any other keyframe. So from what I can tell, I have to reference
the above TextFormat actionscript for every frame I need to use it
on, and since I can't have duplicate TextFormat values, that means
I'd have to create a new instance with a new name for each frame.
This seems rather inefficient and frankly ridiculous consider that
the other ActionScript that I wrote seems to apply to the whole
movie. And what's the point of using ActionScript to format text if
you have to redo it for every *******' keyframe? Is there some
function that I'm missing somewhere to allow me to use one set of
TextFormat code on multiple frames or is this simply a dysfunction
of Flash and/or ActionScript 3.
Any help would be appreciated.

Craig Grummitt - Why so it is. Thanks for pointing that out.
But my point still remains: You can change the defaultTextFormat
property before you assign the text property or you can use
setTextFormat() after you have assigned the text property. That one
is a property and the other is a method just makes it more likely
that somebody will over look one or the other!
fallenturtle - part of the issue is that really great
typographic stuff is tough and most people can't even use the
simple tools that we have. For use with CS4 and Flash 10 publishing
they are coming out with a far more complex Text Layout Framework.
As best I can tell it is insanely complex and I'm guessing most
people will never use it....but who knows.
Additionally you are trying to do one of the more difficult
things: mix timeline with code. That always gets tricky. If you
were just using code you could create one textformat instance and
apply it to all your code-created text fields. But since each
timeline created clip is a new one you will need to apply the
formatting by hand.
Or you could just have one timeline created text field that
went across all your frames and then change its properties with
code everytime you needed to change it.

How to edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.
Dmitriy.
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
OS X 10.10.2

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

Error with Render Multiple Frames

I have this problem before and the only solution I had was to reinstall the WHOLE system and it was fixed that way (but manually install Adobe CC).
The problem is the next:
After Effects doesn't render anything if I have "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" enabled. If click "Render" and it keep there forever and it never render, sometimes it automatically stop with an error:
"After Effects Error: Rendering error while writing to file. An output module failed. The file may be damaged or corrupted (-1610153464)"
This error shows up if I manually stop the rendering process.
If I disable "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" it render without any trouble, but that is not the point, I was able to render using that feature without any trouble before and I doubt I should have any trouble with my current specs.
When I close AE, multiple "aeselflink" keep running about 15% each one.
What I'm aware off:
- I have the latest After Effects version from the Creative Cloud.
- I have quicktime installed, since It comes in the core of OSX.
- I have fixed my permissions.
- I have deleted ALL the Adobe folders from "Preferences" Library folder.
- I have reinstalled After Effects 2 times.
- Adobe Media Encoder renders without any trouble
- I have tried to render .mov, tiff sequences, mpeg, flv, all with the same results.
Using OSX 10.8.3 with 32GB RAM and i7 processor (4 cores with 8 cores running with hyper threading).
Thanks in adnvace.
Here is a video:

Stock answer no. 1: You have installed a CoDec (or Quicktime Component) that is not safe for MP rendering and messing up things. Could be an audio device driver, something liek a screen recording software or speech-to-text tool, could be Skype or similar even. check that and remove the relevant QT extensions/ diable them.
