Edit video timing "ghost frame"

Building a project with narrator video used throughout course. The video is one long file with individual video segments placed and timed on each slide using "edit video timing" in CP 5.5.
The problem: frequently during playback, the video referenced on a slide will display a random "ghost frame" before the correct video begins to play. This is distracting since our design places the narrator on a clean white background. The "ghost" appears to be a random frame from later in the video referenced on the slide.
To determine where the frame was being pulled from we put timecode on the video and recorded the screen during playback. Attached is small video file that illustrates the problem. Note that each playback attempt may show a different frame. Each frame will be from the same general section of the video.
Video is F4V exported from Adobe Media Encoder.
Appreciate any help.
Jeff

Attached are the publish settings. Based on your suggestion we published at "high" quality and tested this morning. No apparent change in the "ghosting" problem. We have noticed that the ghosting problem gets worse the longer the video file that is timed. A seemingly obvious solution would be be make the video files shorter, however, using too many video files in a project causes audio dropout based on too many Flash player threads being generated. I can point you to a long discussion thread on this if you don't know what I am referring to.
I appreciate any other suggestions.

CP6 HTML5 publish, edit video timing

We are attempting to upgrade a couple of 5.5 projects in CP6 to test video playback. We use "edit video timing" to place segments of video on each slide. Is this approach supported in CP6 when publishing to HTML5? We have not been able to get it to work as expected.
Also, does anyone know if the issue in 5.5 that causes audio dropout when Flash threads reach ~100? We encounted this several times when using 5.5 and using video on multiple slides..
Thanks
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Edit Video Timing is supported in CP6 when publishing to HTML5.
Could you please share your project, if you are still facing the issue.
Please find a small demo on the same.

Edit Video Timing: default all slides to end of timeline

Hello,
I'm working with Captivate to time some slides with portions of a video. Workflow:
1) Insert PowerPoint slides
2) Insert Video
3) Edit Video Timing, line up slides to corresponding times
Is there a way to default all the slides to be at the end of the presentation instead of the beginning? I'm constantly dragging 20-30 slides around, when it would be much easier to put them at the end, move the scrubber to my desired time, and then place the next slide with the "move the next marker to the playhead position" button.
Also is there a way to change the Edit Video Timing timeline to be in min, sec instead of just seconds?
Thanks!

You say : "I need the audio to stay where it is"
Don't forget that, concerning the audio (or anything else for that is "connected" to the primary storyline), you can always change the "connection lines" so it's not attached to a clip that might be deleted or moved downstream.
You can for instance temporarily move the "connection line" to a clip that is before the clip you're about to move (or delete). If you re-connect the line to a clip that stays still, well, the connected clip won't move :-) !
Just use Ctrl Opt Clic
and clic on a clip that doesn't move. The "connection line" will move and be attached to this new clip. (and not to the clip that is moved downstream or deleted).
Very useful.

Captivate 5 freezes when opening edit video timing

When I insert a video slide and go to Properties > Video > Edit Video Timing, Captivate freezes and I need to restart the program. I first played around with feature about three weeks ago and did not experience a problem. Is there something in a recent update that is now causing this issue?
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
Not sure why it is happening to you all of a sudden. Can you restart captivate with fresh set of preferences.
1. Close Captivate.
2. Delete "Captivate 5" folder from "C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Adobe\" location
3. Restart captivate and try the workflow you mentioned.
Let me know.
Thanks

Editing video by half frames or less

I'm and audio guy trying to edit video, so I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terms, but can you slide video in Final Cut Pro by less than a frame? e.g. a half frame or 1/4 frame, or even miliseconds?
I know that in ProTools you can "nudge" audio around on many different "grids". Is is possible to view Final Cut Pro in a 1/2 or 1/4 frame 'grid'?
The goal here is to edit 4 video segments (or video 'tracks') that must line up with my 'clap board' start. I can see my 'clap' in the audio wave form for all 4 video tracks, but they are just slightly off, by a 1/2 and 1/4 frame. Hence I need to slide them just a bit to have them line up.
Thanks for your help, and I apologize if I'm not using the correct terms.

Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Final Cut Pro HD 4.5

Maybe this is just the difference between audio and video editing programs, not sure. Perhaps there are better video programs out there that can nudge video in smaller increments?
In the audio program I am running, ProTools, you can nudge audio by 1/4 frame or a sub frame. You can also set the grid to view these increments, thus you are able to 'snap' audio (and one track of video) to a 1/4 frame or sub frame grid.
Hence I could bring the video into ProTools and adjust it so that the very beginning of the video is where my 'clap' is, then import that into Final Cut Pro. However, this would add another step of processing the video and I may loose some quality. (ProTools converts the video during a 'bounce to video' step when exporting.)
For the record, in the audio world a 1/4 frame can be very obvious. The video I am working on shows three percussionists playing very complex 32nd-note patterns at 120 bpm. If the audio is 1/4-frame off, it sounds like absolute mud.
We tested two video tracks together, which were off by a 1/2 frame, and it actually looks ok. I was recording the audio simultaneously in ProTools so I'm using that audio anyway, so it will work out fine.
I still feel that Final Cut Pro should have the ability to 'razor' at the exact point you want to cut, then snap to the frame.
Thanks for the help.
Note to Apple: talk to DigiDesign's ProTools programmers about showing a 1/4-frame or sub-frame grid in Final Cut Pro. Maybe they can help you.

Editing Slide Video Timing in CP5

I'm experimenting with editing the timing for slide video in CP5. I have the video on one slide and now I want to distribute it over other slides but not equally like it does when asked when you first bring a video in. I want to use the edit video timing from the Properties Inspector. When I open the video timing and then try to slide the window on the screen it disappears and CP5 freezes. Anyone else experience this issue?
Thank you,
Susan

Hi,
Foubnd my own answer to this (although the preview is still a problem)...
My answer was to open a 2nd copy of CP....and view side by side :-)

Video Format Total Solution: How to Convert and Edit Video on Windows/Mac

More and More video formats are coming out with different video encoders and it makes our spare time more and more colorful. However, it is not to say that there is no problems. Actually, different video formats make it difficult to share video with others, even your own camcorder and iPod. Is there an easy way to convert videos effectively. Yes, there is.
In this article, I will show you guys how to convert videos on windows and mac.
Part 1. How to Convert and Edit Videos on Windows
For Windows users, you need a Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html) to do that for you.
Here I use Aiseesoft Total Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html)
Step 1: Download and install Aiseesoft Total Video Converter
After you download it to your computer, double click it and it is really easy to install.
You just need to click “next” and it will complete it in seconds. It will automatically run after installation.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/screen.jpg
Step 2: Load Video
Click “Add File” to find the video that you want to convert and click “open”. It will be loaded automatically.
Step 3: Select the target to decode
In the “Profile” drop download list you can find your target according the usage of your output video, such as if you want to put the video on your iPod touch, you can select the “iPod” in the first list and “iPod touch 2 MPEG-4 640*480(*.mp4)” in the second list.
Step 4: Set Advanced Parameters
After you select the right output profile, you can click “setting” button to set your advanced parameters. You can adjust video and audio settings separately. In video section, you can change “video encoder”, “resolution”, “frame rate”, “video bitrate”In audio section, you can change “audio encoder”, “sample rate”, “channel”, “audio bitrate”If you want to save this profile and settings and use it next time you can click “save as” button to give a name to it. And the next time you want to use it you can find it in the profile list named “user defined”.
Step 5: Choose a Destination
To browse and find a output folder for your output files or just the default one.
Finally, Click “Convert” button to begin your conversion, here in the converting
interface you can choose “shut down the computer when conversion complete” or “open output folder when conversion complete” or you just do not choose neither one.
Tips: How to Edit the Output Video
This video converter is also a video editor, you can use it to edit your output video as follows:
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/effect.jpg
1. Effect:
You are allowed to adjust the “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation” and you can choose the “deinterlacing” to make the video more enjoyable.
2. Trim:
In “Trim” section you can pick up any part of the video to convert.
There are two ways to select the part of the video you want. One is set the start and end time in the box. The other one is to drag the start and end button in the processing bar.
3. Crop:
This function allows you to choose a certain play area to convert. That means you can choose a part of the screen you like to convert. For example, you just like the tv in the middle of the screen, then you can drag the frame around the preview window to select the tv and the output preview will show you the output video.In this section you can also choose the “zoom mode”, such as “keep original”, “full screen”, “16:9”, “4:3”.
4. Watermark
In the section, you can add a watermark on the output video to show people something, such as your name, website, studio name or other things. The watermark could be words and picture. You can adjust the transparent of the watermark easily to make it more beautiful.
Part 2. How to Convert Video on Mac
This time you need a Video Converter for Mac(http://www.aiseesoft.com/video-converter-for-mac.html)
Step 1: Add File
Click “Add File” button to load the video you want to converter
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/mac-video-converter/steps.jpg
Step 2: Choose profile and adjust settings
You can find your output video format from a drop-list called “Profile”You can also adjust the specific settings of the output video, such as “Resolution”, “Bitrate”, “Encoder” and so on.

Photoshop Edited Video Not Playing In Premiere Pro

Hi All
Apologies if this thread has been repeated elsewhere but I am getting pretty deperate in trying to sorth this problem out.
I am creating a remastered project of my Sister's Wedding video and I want to touch up a few frames in the video usinf Photoshop.
Here are the steps I did:
1) I have created a new Photoshop (PSD) file within Premiere Pro with the same frame size/rate etc.
2) I then import the wedding video into the PSD doucument in photoshop which creates a video layer.
3) I search the frames that require repair and edit using the tools in PS.
4) Then Save the the file in PS.
5) I move back to PPro and Import the PSD file into the project panel. As there was only one video layer, I selected 'all layers'.
6) I move the PSD file to the timeline and press play and the program monitor just shows the last frame I edited in Photoshop even though the sequence is over 90 minutes long! The playhead moves but just a single frame shown on the monitor.
Am I missing something here? I know you can have a Photoshop/Premiere Pro workglow and do all the edits or filtering, transitions necessary and it will automatically update in Premiere Pro, but this simply isn't working as I'd expect.
I am an amateur user of these applications and being partially sighted probably doesn't help either, so any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Dave

Hi Dave,
Haven't touched up any video in Photoshop in a couple of years, but the last step is definitely to export as VIDEO from PS, which will be an .MOV file. A .PSD file is not video
EDIT: Just Googled "how to edit video in photoshop", tons of tutorial vids come up right away
Thanks

Cannot play/edit video from camcorder (Sony)

I am using iMovie 11 (latest version) under Lion on a 17" MBP with 8gb RAM. There are two scenarios I have followed to edit video from my Sony HDR-CX150 camcorder:
I import directly into iMovie from the camera using a USB cable. The program finds the video files, imports them into clips, and they appear in the clip area of the program's screen.
I read the files into a folder and convert them to .mp4 files using Video-Converter from Wondershare. I then import the mp4 clips into iMovie with the same results as in 1.
In both cases, when I attempt to play a clip, is starts, I heart the sound for about 3-5 seconds, after which it mutes. The video does not play; the playback pane continues to show the first frame of the clip. If I scrub along the clip, however, I see the video play and hear the audio. I know that Apple says they don't support this Sony camera in iMovie, but it seems that it should at least support .mp4 clips as I create with Video-Converter.
I have tried recording in HD and Standard modes, to no avail. Quicktime plays the clips without a hitch. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your '''''More System Details''''' doesn't show Adobe Flash as being installed! Did you install the Plugin version of Flash? Or did you just update the ActiveX version of Flash which is used only by Internet Explorer?

Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, MOV can hold all sorts of "stuff." See this article for some more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
Can you let us know what is inside that MOV "wrapper?"

When trying to import music files I get an error message Thea says "importer reported a generic error". Also when editing video, screen views look great but when I transfer to PC or flash drive video quality is very poor. Any suggestions?

Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).....
1. Music files and error message...are these music files from iTunes? If so, convert them to .wav in iTunes to convert them to wav version, and then import the .wav version into Premiere Elements 13 project using Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the wav version to the Soundtrack.
The following are the instructions for the iTunes converting
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1550
If any problems with the instructions, please let me know, and I will go through them with you.
2. How you set up the project and the export settings that you select greatly influence your end product result.
a. What are the properties of the source media?
b. What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of the source media.
(If you do not know, please tell us what you see for the readings of Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even
if the fields look grayed out.)
c. For your export...Publish+Share/Computer/and then what? And what preset? Did you use the default settings of the preset or did you
customize the export settings of the preset under the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
Let us start here and then decide what next.

Accessing both video fields of frame in workspace?

I am new to video and have just learned there are two video fields per frame of video.
Is it possible to access both video fields of the frame within the workspace of PP CS6?
I am working with 29.97 fps dv.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,
If you are asking if you can somehow "edit" at the field level, then no. But if you want to see the full frame (combined fields), in the Program Monitor, right-click in it (or Mac equivalent) or there is a wrench there to click on as well, and in the drop down list, look at Fields options and set to BOTH rather than upper or lower.
Thanks

I am shooting aerial video with a GoPro H3+ at 1080p 30fps and would like to edit videos and give them to my clients to use in as much media as possible for their advertising and marketing needs. I would like to give it to them at the highest quality allowed. What form should I save it in 'Publish and Share'? I have Premier Elements 12.

KM
Can we assume that your 1080p30 is an AVCHD.mp4 file or other?
You manually or the project automatically should set the project preset to
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR 1080p30 @29.97
(If your frame rate is really 30 instead of 29.97, then go with DSLR 1080p30 instead of DLSR 1080p30 @29.97)
See the following link for setting the project preset manually
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
For your export
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080p30
Please let us know if you have further questions on this or need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

How to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping?

how to sync/edit audio when using frame freeze or time remapping? in premiere pro cs6

You need to give more information about what you want to happen to the audio when you freeze or time remap the associated video.
Is it synch video?
Is it music?
Is it Voice?
Generally .. you have to cut and design the audio around the video effect.
