Export Specific Timelines (Main, Nested, Frame counts)

It seems that every Flash file exports the main timeline in its entirety.
Is there a way to choose to export jpeg sequences, mov's, and swf's of:
- Specific ranges of frames
- Specific timelines within a symbol only?
- Specific ranges of frames within a specific symbol?
- Specific layers of specific timelines within specific symbols?
This flexibility would be great but I'm not sure if there's a way to do it. It seems like a pretty basic feature. Anyone?
EX:
- I make a file named BALLBOUNCE.FLA
- I have created a graphic symbol called "BOUNCE1" of a ball bouncing. 1 bounce. 1 single cycle.
- In the main timeline I put BOUNCE1 on the stage, then tween that cycling ball across the stage so that the same bounce is used 25 times, moving slowly across the stage.
- For reason X, I decide that I need to export JUST the frames inside that symbol as a SWF. One bounce cycle within the graphic.
WITHOUT copying and pasting frames into the main timeline - is there a way to export that specific timeline directly as a SWF?

Exporting 1080p to 1080i QT frame count

Just thought I'd share my experience with exporting a 1080p 59.94 sequence
to a 1080i 29.97 QT.
The resulting QT will have additional black at the end that needs to be
trimmed off.
When I export a :10 sec spot it will create a :20 QT file with :10 program and :10 black. So the export maintains the original frame count.
Don't know if compressor would handle it differently.

It probably won't make a difference, but try deleting the zeros in the timing fields on export, just leave them blank instead of putting zeros in them. See if it comes out any different.

Export from timeline adds a frame

Here's a strange one in FCP 6.0.2 (PPC) that caused me some extra work.
Setting IN and OUT points exactly on the cut points of a scene in the timeline and exporting to a self-contained movie tacks on the first frame of the following scene.
Exporting from the Viewer results in a frame-accurate exported clip.
This is strange behavior. Any ideas as to the cause?

You can see how it works by zooming in on the Timeline as far as possible with the playhead centered. Note the shaded area representing the frame by displayed. Now hit the O key to set an OUT point and you'll see that it's placed after the frame being displayed.

Premiere Pro freezes in render. Frame count looses sync with timeline.

Hey Guys!
I'm completely baffled by this. So I really hope yall can help. Here's what's going on.
I'm rendering a somewhat lenghty sequence (26min) in Permiere Pro CS6 that has much of the usual going on. (Color Correction, image tweeks, ect. - nothing fancy) I've finished this edit and wanted to export it to a ProRes file. Sent it to AME and hit render with my normal 1080p, quicktime, 29.975, prores settings and about 1 min into it the time shot straight out of the park. (I'm talking like 104+ hours at one point) I checked my settings and tried other export options, still acting wonky. I even tried removing all effects and export the normal sequence sans frills. Na Da. Then I thought, "You know what, maybe it's just a weird part and it'll pass through it." Nope. Left it going for about 13 hrs and it was moving so slow I thought it was frozen.
Here's where the odd discovery comes in. I decided to render the work area of my timeline in an attempt to narrow down the problem and bingo. When I started the render here I was able to view the frame count along with the video clip progression via the number and red line that becomes green. What I discovered is that in the first clip that's roughly 4 sec (should be about 120 frames) it regestered over 800 frames before it moved onto the next clip! The timeline does not reflect these phantom frames at all. However, the renderer sees the total number of frames for the sequence correctly at around 46,000 frames. It seems as though the frame/clip sync gets so far out of wack that the renderer gets exponentially lost. That would explain why the longer it works, the slower it becomes.
I'm really not sure what's happening. I feel really out of my depth here. lol Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!

Mark - thanks for your reply. Disabled GPU acceleration and try software mode. Started rendering but super slow and also lost all my previews.
Here is my system:
Macbook Pro - late 2011
Processor - 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i7
Memory - 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (still have close to 4GB free)
Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Software - OSX 10.9.1
I have one sequence (less than 5 minutes) with several backgrounds and one lower third .mov playing. I am using green and ultra keys.
Really appreciate your help. Everything worked fine until the latest Adobe Pr update. Was working fine even after update Mac software to Mavericks.

Frame counter or timer

Does anyone know of a technique to show a timer inset or a frame count in the frame? I am making movies of screen captures as jpgs (roughly 3000 images). I tried the plug-in called Timer from cf/x and it crashed every way i set it up.
Any ideas? thanks!
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

In case anyone else has this problem, I thought I'd close this question with what I've learned. The timer's I tried both worked with imported videos, like QT, but not with a string of stills (jpgs). I did export the stills to QT and then import to iMovie, but the timing was not precise enough... i.e., it was more than 10% off from actual time elapsed, and this was a case where precision mattered, not aesthetics. So the question is answered, but the problem is still out there.
I really wish the jpg metadata could be captured and displayed before using QT or iMovie

Compressor frame count jumping back and forth

Hi guys,
I've never noticed this before, until last night when compressing a 25-minute film in Compressor at 'DVD-90 minutes, high-quality'. What in the past on this film might take an hour or so, last night took about 14 hours (i.e. all evening and through the night).
Compressor was advancing through the frame count, but then would return to an earlier frame, then jump forward through the frames again, then jump back to 10 or so frames earlier, advance forward, go back, etc. It took ages for it to get through a dozen frames or so.
It seems to me in the past when I observed Compressor, it works its way consecutively through frames, advancing forward one frame at a time.
I guess Compressor was reinterpreting data from an earlier frame, but is this normal? My film only has one of two video layers, up to 8 audio layers, some imported Motion QT files, and a very large PICT image file (scrolling end credits).
When examing the frame count where Compressor seemed to get bogged down, it appears it was towards the end of the 25-min. film (around the 42,000 mark). It seemed to be stuck there, jumping back and forth all night. Must have been when it was trying to digest the PICT end credits... Eventually it did complete the task and the export was OK.
If Compressor is having problems with the PICT (?), perhaps I'll test this out by putting my end credits on a seperate FCP sequence, export them as a QT file, then re-import that back into my film and see if Compressor is happier...
Any thoughts?

Ongoing changes? What do you mean exactly? Anytime you add filters to a clip and render you are slightly lowering the quality...slightly. But exporting, expecially via Compressor, will add even more. How many changes are you making?

CS5 rendering wrong frame count?

Normally I'd assume that this is user error, but we're seeing this problem on multiple computers from multiple animators running multiple versions of OSX. When we render out a project at full-res, 16-bit Avid1:1x, the file that's produced is randomly the wrong amount of frames -- for example, a 170 frame project resulted in a render that was 212 frames. We've double-checked everything, and the render settings are all correct. What's really weird is that if we render the exact same project at half-res, the frame count of the rendered file is correct.
Has anyone else ever seen this happen? It's only happened in CS5, and we're witnessing it happen almost every day. I'd guess that there's something weird going on with the Avid1:1x codec, but we use the exact same codec in CS4 without issue.

This may relate to the inability to access the CoDec specific settings panels for Avid CoDecs and specifics. I would dare a bet and say that the CoDec is locked into a specific framerate that isn't compliant with your comp settings. here's the deal: Since Avid CoDecs have dedicated settings for fields, it seems to me that when rendering at half res it is interpretting AE's reduced res as fields, which it thne simply duplicates or as correct full frames. At full res, it interprets the data wrongly and thus you end up with incorrect frame counts. So, to cut a long story short, unless you get access to the CoDec options from wuithin AE, which because of the mentioned bug may not be possible, I see no way to get it working correctly. Thus, for the time being, you will have to use otehr CoDecs or image sequences.

Is there a script that it can make Overflow text automatically routed Next?(Not the main text frame)

Is there a script that it can make Overflow text automatically routed Next？（Not the main text frame）
when I run the scrip,Overflow text can auto Typesetting to the next page？

Here's the script I use. Notice the complications getting the live area when other than rulers per spread is employed. The script automatically selects the final selection point in the story and moves to that page in the active window.

Timecode to frame count

i know this is super easy and i've done it before but it's been a while since i last used final cut and i'm sort of running into a wall.
how do u change your user preferences to show frame count instead of timecode?
e.g. still frame duration...it shows it in timecode. i would like to have it show in frames.
this is for final cut 3 or 4
thx a bunch

control-click on the timeline ruler and choose "Frames" from the context menu

Frame count for science fair

Hello,
My son wants to do a science fair project to calculate the speed of cars going by our house using our video camera. We know the frame rate of the video but I cannot get a frame count to show up on our computer (just the length of the clip which I assume is calculated from the frame rate). The problem is I could be more accurate if I actually knew the frame number. I was hoping to avoid manually counting the frames. I could use quicktime viewer as well but I can't seem to make it give me this information either.
Help! Thanks in advance.

Yes you can do this.
In iMovie/Preferences, select "Display Time as Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames"
Then VIEW/PLAYHEAD INFO
You will see the specific frame as you move your cursor over the clip.
It may also help you to move the Thumbnail Slider to 1/2 second, so the frames are spread out more.

Animated gif frame count & fps

How do I find out details of an animated gif? I need to know the number of images in a strip, and also the frame rate. I would like to convert the strip to a BufferedImage for animation.

See http://www.fmsware.com/stuff/gif.html for a free decoder.
It will give you a frame count, and return each frame as a BufferedImage. It will also tell you the duration of each frame (animated GIF's don't have a fixed frame rate).

How to: Select a Specific Timeline Displayed in Project Online when having multiple timelines within the Enterprise Project

Currently I have an Enterprise Project which has 6 custom timelines and I want to know how to select a specific timeline to be displayed on the Project specific SharePoint site.
I'll provide some background for you so you understand my issues... I have created a "template" project with 6 custom timelines. From that project I created multiple new projects - which they all have the 6 custom timelines. These projects are
all stored in the Project Center. The problem I am having is I don't understand how to select a specific timeline to show on the project specific SharePoint site. They all seem to be displaying 1 of the 6 timelines (in no particular order). I was thinking
maybe if I had edited a project and saved it while it was displaying a specific timeline it would display the last selected timeline on the SharePoint site, but it doesn't seem to be doing that.
Is there a way to select a specific timeline to display on the SharePoint site? Also, is there a way for a user to cycle through the numerous timeline view on the project specific SharePoint site?
I await your help!! :)

Michelle_Sm --
I ran into this problem at the company where I used to work. One of our PMs had created multiple Timeline views, and wanted a specific custom Timeline view to show up in the Project Site for that project. I could not see any way to make that
happen. We had one of our SharePoint developers look into the issue, and he could not see any way to make this happen either. So, I am thinking this is not possible to do. But I would gladly welcome others in this forum to tell us the trick,
if there is one! :) Hope this helps.

Exporting Specific UCM dB tables - is this possible

Question. Is there a way to export specific UCM Data Dictionary tables from the UCM Publisher? Or am I forced to export the entire dB for analysis? If I am forced to get the entire dB...the DRS backup is my only means?
From a CLI perspective, I currently do not see a CLI method of extracting dB tables...perhaps I am wrong...but not convinced.
Looking for suggestions...thx.

Hi David
Here is the DB dictionary where are specified all CUCM tables.
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/datadict/9_1_1/datadictionary_911.pdf
To query CUCM db you can use integrated AXL Sql toolkit.
In the below link, our friend William Bell explains how to use it.

Nested frames on SDN

Hi SDN folks,
I guess this is not new but may I suggest to enhance usability of the SDN forums by changing the site design to get rid of the nested frames!
Forum messages often do not 'line-break' adequately, so one has to scroll to the right to read the complete sentences. Since there are nested frames in place you first have to scroll down to the bottom to reach the horizontal scroll bar.
This is quiet a bad example of site usability.
Another thing concerning this category here:
In the subheader it reads something like "...for suggestions concerning the site use Contributions->Feedback in the top right navigation...".
Well, I can't see Contributions->anything in the top right navigation.
BTW, SDN is a very great project!
Regards,
anton

Yes, I second that
Also, the "simple" things like the contributor list should get checked in different browsers, as there is a useless space-limiting, scrollbar-adding area visible in Firefox, in IE it does display ok ...
