Editing frames after transition is made

I have some frames with text.
I use transition to fade the text.
When I have activated transition I am not able to edit the
text (change
fontsize, color...)
How do I do that?

Just to save a little time - you can't - well you can but it is all manual, there is no way to switch themes w/0 loosing just about everything.

Final cut pro dropped frames after transition

Hi, I'm kind of new with FCP 7 and have an issue getting dropped frames after applying a transition effect into my video. Everything else is working right but just after I apply any dissolve or transitions the video hiccups.Even rendering it still jumps.
I'm using a canon rebel t2i which gives me a h.264 codec (I've read that is a hard format for editing) but it is the only one I got, is there a way to solve this issue ? Thanks!!

Solve it by transcoding the h.264 file to pro res using MPEGStreamclip.

Why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits?

why is iphoto compressing my 300 dpi pics to 72 dpi after I have made edits like color correction?

It is not compressing your photos other than normal JPEG cpompression
DPI is meaningless without inches (Dots per Inch) which digital photos do not have
There is a field in the EXIF data that records a DPI but it is meaningless - basically it says that this photos was displayed on a computer screen which is a 72 DPI device
The photo is exactly the same dimensions and resolution as before editing (unless you cropped it)
See The Myth of DPI for additional information.

How do i get that little pop up menu with all the editing choices on it that i used to get? Is there a way to get the editing box to pop up as I make a new event instead of editing an event after i just made it ??????

Michal,
iCal Help is a good place to start. Here are a couple of examples:

PREMIERE PRO cs3 & cs5 - audio out of synch by 6 frames after export

i have never had formal training on adobe premiere, and therefore when i am working with my students it is basically down to expereince i have gained by myself.
with cs3, we always worked on the basis that it would always export the audio out of synch with the video by 6 frames so they would routinely have the audio tracks on two separate tracks, one for editing and one for exporting which was offset +6 frames.
when we made the transition to cs5 and new kit i was stunned to see that the synch issues were still there. and since a quick google yielded very little evidence that others shared this issue i thought it must be something i am doing wrong after years of bad habits learned on the fly.
so here is my workflow, where am i going wrong and why is it always out of synch?
open cs5
choose an editing format. (this varies but the synch issue is always the same)
import content
edit
export (normally as a microsoft avi, with no compression which i later convert into quicktime compressed with ANIMATION)
i teach on an animation course so normally the content we import is a sequence of stills such as jpg or tiff, but we also capture stuff on dslrs too
the timeline colour is normally yellow, which is fine at standard def, but larger def we will render workspace to turn it green
the editing format depends on our target format. the current project is 720 hd
the export as avi with no compressor i suspect to be a weak link in this work flow, but the problem remains if i export as anything else so....
now as an additional point on the matter, the current project we have had people miming to an audio clip which we played live for their performance. the audio blips were aligned on the timeline with the audio blips from the edit
but after rendering out, the footage is out of synch by 6 frames. it has always been this way.
any thoughts? i know i must be doing something wrong, but the issue is consistant across different computer, running different OS and different versions of PREM...so either i am doing it wrong or premiere is fundamentally broke.....i suspect its me though

is there a logical reason for opting for a preset which is the lowest common denominator rather than a highest? is it not better to work at the best res possible?
does it matter either way? because i have often created 1080p content and worked in a 1024/576 edit environment only to later export at 1080p with no loss of quality?
i create the avi and then open this in quicktime to export to the desired formats.
now that you posted that comment i cant believe i have never done the simple trouble shoot of 'at what point does it go out of synch'
files are too big to playback uncompressed though.
i know it is a workflow issue and not a prem issue because no one else seems to have the problem.
im going to run some tests
thanks, will report back

Edit frame in external editor?

Sorry for the newbie question. Is there an easy way to edit frames in an external editor (Photoshop, whatever)?
I have some video take from film that has some scratches I'd like to clean up. It's only a handful of frames, so it would be easy to do in a photo editor. I suppose I could export a frame or frame sequence, edit them, and import them back in. The problem is that I'd need to match up the stills to their original frames, make the the right length, etc. Not impossible, but certainly not simple. I'm hoping there's an easier way?
By the way, I tried the manual "object remover" method, which involves a cloned clip placed over the clip in question, and cropping/transforming to cover the scratch with a section from somewhere else, but in this particular instance there's no easy place to get a cover-up section that matches. (Hope that made sense.)
Ideas?
Dan

Thanks for the reply. I have SliceX, but as I mentioned in my post, for these particular videos, there's no good area from which to clone. I suppose it would be possible, but *very* tedious to get the selection that exact. Perhaps I'm just not coordinated enough.
I've discovered a workflow which works well for me - easier than I thought it would be. I'll show it here, in case it helps anyone else:
Isolate the frames in question by using the Blade tool and separating them into their own section - this makes lining up the result frames easier when you paste them back in.
Export the section as a frame sequence.
Import the frames in iPhoto. I know, this sounds silly, but actually, iPhoto's Touchup tool is awesome for tasks like this. Way better (to me) than Adobe Photoshop Elements.
In iPhoto, when you start editing a frame, it has a strip at the bottom showing all the frames, and it's easy to switch between frames. This makes it easy to verify your touchups against the other frames.
When done, I choose to drag the files from iPhoto to a folder. I suppose you could also import them inside FCPX from its reference to iPhoto - but this seemed easier to me. Perhaps I'm wrong - I will try the other way next time.
iPhoto does reduce the image quality slightly - I'm guessing this, since the file sizes are much smaller. But for what I'm working on, it's not noticeable.
I drag the photos back into the Event, and into the original timeline.
I select all of them, hit Ctrl+D and change the duration to 1 frame.
Voila! Done. Not so hard after all. I'm amazed that iPhoto makes this so easy.
The only thing that iPhoto does that makes this a slightly longer process, is that when you switch from frame to frame, it resets the Zoom & Pan, and un-selects the Touchup tool. Not that big a deal, but if you've zoomed and panned to a specific place, it would be nice if all the frames opened up the same way, so you can check your results against the other frames. I wonder if Adobe Photoshop Elements does this - I'll have to check. As I said, not the end of the world. But *so* close to perfection...
All in all, I can remove a scratch from, say, 15 frames, pretty quickly. I'll have to time myself next time I do this, now that I've got the workflow down.

How to set textfield.text on frame after goto

This seems a little ridiculous to be asking this question coz
it seems like it should be so simple but here goes anyway.
STEPS TO RECREATE:
Step 1 - create a class called simpleButt(see attached)
Step 2 - create a MovieClip with two frame labels on
different keyframes- ROLLOVER and ROLLOUT. on these different
keyframes place a dynamic textfield with instance name -
'buttonTitle'. give it different styling attributes on the ROLLOVER
frame such as text colour, bold or even a glow filter.
Step 3 - In the movie clip's linkage properties, give it the
'simpleButt' class.
Step 4 - With nothing on the stage, add the following two
lines to frame actions:
var newButt:simpleButt=new simpleButt("hello");
this.addChild(newButt);
Step 5 - compile!
this should add a simple button to the stage and set the
button's textfield's text property.
However, after going to another frame on rollover, we lose
the dynamic text - i assume because we have another instance of the
textfield on a different keyframe because it has new styling
properties on rollover. but if i try to set the text after going to
the new frame, it doesn't seem to recognise the textfield yet.
(uncomment lines in simpleButt to see what i mean)
through trial and error i've found that if i wait two
ENTERFRAMEs, the textfield object becomes available, but by this
time the textfield flickers. is there an event i'm missing or
function i could override where i could set the properties of an
object on a frame after a gotoAndStop before it is rendered?
cheers
Craig

STEP 2(where the textfield was created) is all done manually
within the authoring environment - no actionscript. This is usually
done by the design team here so to save time i'm trying to avoid
replicating every style change they've made in code.

Transition + Effects = Madness!!

I'm just playing around, trying to get my iMovie bearings, and this is what I decided to try:
I've got about a 15 second clip of myself playing guitar and singing a song. I've got the song itself in the second timeline track. (It took awhile to sync them up, there's got to be an easier way!) I've got about five second of blank space converted to clip before me playing. I used a Lightspeed transition between the two which lasts about 2 seconds. About fifteen frames after the transition is OVER I want an electricty effect to hit my guitar, so I set Effect In to about 2 and a half second, or two seconds and 15 frames. I set Effect out at the full 10 seconds, so that the effect would only last about 2 seconds.
Didn't quite work out how I wanted. The effect (Electricity) was going on, granted fading in, as soon as the Lightspeed transition started showing me playing guitar, in fact, as the transition was taking place. And the effect lasted the duration of the clip. . Never mind...what I bet I have to do is slpit the clip immediately after the transition split and then again two seconds later, and apply the effect to only that clip.

Try to make a few more transitional states in between with varying levels of opacity for each picture (and play with the State Delay time). Other than that, i don't think Fireworks has transitional effects for slideshows (i may be wrong).

Strange Problem- Timeline plays empty frames after last keyframe?

Once again, thank you all for being so supportive for this newbie!
So I have this weird problem going on. Why is it that on my timeline (and in preview), my animation still plays after my last keyframe?
In other words, my animation ends at frame 410 and there is nothing after that, but for some reason it still continues playing up to almost from 695?
This causes my image to disappear in the frames after 410 when I intended for it to stay still after that (with no looping).
How can I accomplish just making it stay still after frame 410? Basically it is just 3 roses blooming. I just want it to bloom when the viewer enters the webpage and stop after that. The last frame will make the image stay still (with the roses fully bloomed). Looping the bloom would be tacky and highly unnecessary.
Thanks!

I figured it out.
Turns out it was a BUG.
So I noticed that when I click one of the folders I put my layers in, it shows that it is 695 frames long. So weird because there is absolutely nothing after frame 410 when I check the layers in the folder individually.
So what I did was I deleted one of the layers in the folder to see if that would remove the 695 frames. I just deleted it and then undid the delete. And VOILA! It became 410 frames and works fine now. It was definitely a bug as I did not do any other editing to fix it. Just temporarily deleted it and putting that layer back by undoing the delete.

Pixelated frames after preview render

Hello -
In Premiere Pro CS6 I’m encountering a problem after rendering preview files from H.264 source footage: every 25 frames or so becomes very pixelated in PrPro. The source footage plays fine in QuickTime. At first I thought it might be caused by the way PrPro is interpreting the frame rate; it insists that it is at 25 fps, but the footage is actually 23.97 fps. I thought I could solve this by selecting the clip and going into “Modify Clip” > “Interpret Footage” > “Assume this frame rate: 23.97 fps”. I also changed the Sequence Settings to match the Clip Settings when prompted to do so, but after completing another render, the pixelation still shows up. I’m on a 15” MacBook Pro Retina, Mavericks, OS X 10.9.5.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The image appears steady before pixelation pops into the next couple of frames, then goes
steady again. The pattern repeats every 25 frames or so.
My Sequence Settings.

Okay, I think I have things figured out. Just to give a little background of the process, my original source media is in .mkv format, which I’ve discovered doesn’t work in Premiere Pro, so I converted that media to H.264 and tried to edit with that. Well, after doing a little research, I’ve discovered that sometimes H.264 is not the ideal format in which to edit, and maybe this is why I’ve experienced bad frames after performing preview renders?
Anyway, the solution that works for me is to just transcode all my original .mkv files into Avid DNxHD files. I tried MPEG Streamclip to convert, but with 98 minutes of 1920 x 1080p footage, it proved to be excruciatingly slow on my MacBook Pro, especially while trying to maintain 100% quality. I also tried VLC, but it doesn’t seem to support the DNxHD codec (unless I’ve overlooked something). The software I ended up using was Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. Sure, I had to plunk down $59, but so far it has been money well-spent! Super-fast conversions, and it really helps that it can make use of the CUDA GPU
For all you seasoned video editors reading and laughing, forgive my novice discoveries in all this - video editing is still new for me.

Changing Editing Timebase AFTER project is edited?

Hi,
I just noticed that my editing timebase is 29.27 and I shot with a Panasonic HVX 200 at 720p60. I've been using the preset codec for the DVC Pro HD 720p60. Is it possible to change my sequence to 59.94fps in the editing timebase AFTER my project has been edited? I tried doing this and it completed messed up the audio visual sync and speed.
Also, what is the best codec for the Panasonic HVX200HD and is it possible to change this after editing as well?
Thank you!
DesSV

OK, I have more info from the lead editor now. In a previous, very similar project, when the online house was given the 29.97 sequence with the same mix of 29.97 and 23.98 footage, they had no way to fix the repeated frame problem of the 23.98 footage. It goes frame 1-2-3-4-4-5-6-7-8-8, etc.
They are saying that if it had been edited into a 59.94 sequence, it makes a smoother conversion, because of the 3:2 pulldown. Instead of repeating every fourth frame, it repeats one field every 1 1/2 frames (or something close to that).
So our choices seem to be either a) use a 59.94 sequence, and reconstruct our first two days of work, or b) run hours and hours of footage through Compressor with some very specific settings to convert the 23.98 footage to 29.97. By the way, I tried two different tests of this, and failed miserably to get any improvement. Although it was now 29.97, it was still repeating every fourth frame. I was obviously wrong with one of the settings.
It still confounds me that copying and pasting clips from a 29.97 sequence into a 59.94 sequence would result in completely different parts of the clips showing up - even the AE's temp VO track.
My personal wish is that filmmakers would dispense with this MYTH that 24fps gives a video that's to be finished in 30fps a "cinematic look." It's completely bogus, and just creates problems.

Slight flicker after transitions - can I prevent?

I'm getting a slight flicker in the photo images after a transition takes place in iMovie. It happens 75 percent of the time to an individual frame after the transition. What can I do to stop this from happening?
thanks!

Which transitions are affected?
As IMO a bug, some transitions have interlace-related flicker or distortion in iMovie HD:

How do I go frame to frame after a few seconds?

Hello,
I'm new here so forgive any mistakes or lack of knowledge.
(Brief history: I have programmed in Pascal before, currently learning Java and Flash)
So my question is i want to be able to move from frame to frame after X amount of seconds. I have searched online for coding on how to do this with the action script and managed to get the first frame working. The problem occurs with my 5th frame as frame 1 goes to frame 5 in 5 seconds but when i want frame 5 to go to frame 10 in 10 seconds it decides not to work.
Below is the code i used in order to accomplish the first frame:
stop();
var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);
          myTimer.start();
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, function(e:TimerEvent)
        play();
If there is a problem with the code or if there is an alternative way for better practice please do let me know.
My 5th frame code:
stop();
var myTimer2:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);
myTimer2.start();
    myTimer2.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, function(e:TimerEvent)
        play();
Thanks in advance. If anyone is struggling to understand my question, apologies because i am really bad when it comes to structuring sentences.

You should not have to create more than one timer for this. Also, you should not be building the event handler function into the listener, keep it as a separate function.
In frame 1 you could have...
     stop();
     var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(5000, 1);
     myTimer.start();
     myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, moveOn);
     function moveOn(e:TimerEvent):void {
           play();
and all you would need in frame 5 would be....
     stop();
     myTimer.start();

How to edit frame-by-frame and export results in H264?

I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
Thanks for any ideas

For anyone who has the same problem as me, I also found this answer very helpful.

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.
