Flash dropping frames in OS X Lion?

Recently I've noticed that Flash Player seems to skip frames in games and apps all over the place. It doesn't seem to be a performance thing, I have plenty of memory and CPU free, and if I'm trying to play something that has an FPS counter like http://andysaia.com/blog/starlingPunkTilemaps/starlingPunk-example.html I get a constant 60 frames per second. Every so often, Flash will intermittently drop some frames, causing movement to be "jumpy". I don't remember when I first started noticing this, it might have been after installing OS X Lion or something else, I'm not sure. It's also worth noting that when I try to run the same stuff on my Boot Camp Windows partition on the same hardware, all the movement is silky smooth. (Also, the linked example is using Stage3d, but I'm noticing the frame dropping everywhere, not just apps that use it.)
Specs: Macbook Pro 13-inch
Mac OS X 10.7.4
2.7 CHz Intel Core i7
Intel HD Graphics 3000

So, Lion, anyway you get it, won't have Java intalled, right? It doesn't matter if you get a new Mac, if you upgrade from 10.6.8, or if you clean install Lion?
Correct.
No new Mac will bring Java anymore? It's due to security?
Well, sort of. It's also due to an agreement with Oracle that they would be responsible for Java 7 and higher, but they weren't quite ready when Lion was released (it's available now).
And what about Java preferences.app? If I try to use it, it ask me to install a Java enviroment...it's just a normal thing, right?
Yes, it's normal.
Is it really more safe to have it uninstalled?
Not today, but there are known vulnerabilities in the current version that someone might figure out how to exploit in the same manner as Flashback and a couple of other malware developers did with the last version.
What can I miss if I don't install it?
You will be told if you need it. There are a few applications written either partially or completely in Java (CrashPlan is probably the most popular). Some web sites still use it. A few banks and someone said they could not get into their AT&T account without it, but I've not had any problems. I read some statistics that slightly over 5,000 of the top 1 million web sites contained Java code, so not very many.

  • Why does flash drop frames ??

    I have been conducting some tests and am totally lost as to why flash based broadcasting drops frames.
    The genral formula for calculating bitrate is :
    bitrate = Width x Height x FPS
    Now if this value is lower than  Camera.bandwidth then why should flash still drop frames ?? Any assistance/ideas is greatly appreciated.
    I have checked with FMS performance tab: bytes in is well bellow Camera.bandwidth as well , but still flash drops frames... why??

    oh! you dont have to be an engeer to answer that. I reported you because i saw you had 306 points. Which means you had to be a serious guy giving a serious answer. If you had read my question (you may want to read it again just in case).. here is the answer to it that i could find on my own. There is no need to get things complicated, god created things simple eniough
    Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html
    You will see that when we apply setMode funtion to request a width, height and fps, flash will request the device for closest native settings of the camera.  I am pasting it here so everyone can read:
    By default, Flash Player drops frames as needed to maintain image size. To minimize the number of dropped frames, even if this means reducing the size of the image, pass false for the favorArea parameter.
    When choosing a native mode, Flash Player tries to maintain the requested aspect ratio whenever possible. For example, if you issue the commandmyCam.setMode(400, 400, 30), and the maximum width and height values available on the camera are 320 and 288, Flash Player sets both the width and height at 288; by setting these properties to the same value, Flash Player maintains the 1:1 aspect ratio you requested.
    So as you see its a simple thing, nothing so complicated as NETWORKING, ALOHA , TCP/IP etc etc . If you wil notice all the situations i have stated, it clearly implies frame drop happens regardless of any bandwidth settings as soon as i go over a certain resolution.
    Haver a nice day! Cheers

  • Dropped frames on Flash playback

    so we've heard the grumblings from Steve Jobs about the inefficiency of Flash and that's why Apple won't let it work on iPhones/iPods and apparently the iPad. Yesterday in a web interview someone from Adobe conceded that Flash uses more resources when running on a Mac than a PC. After this long intro, my question. I have a white 24 inch iMac (2.16 Ghz) and for the past several months I have noticed it struggles to play Flash content in full screen mode (audio is fine, but video drops frames and sometimes lags slightly behind audio). I have noticed this on Hulu and other sites that use Flash for video. There are no issues with youtube, iTunes or other full screen video applications. Anyone else experience this issue? Any work around?

    HI Michael,
    Try uninstalling then reinstalling a fresh copy of the Flash Player plugin.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install Flash
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is running in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure *Safari is NOT running in Rosetta*.
    Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.
    Then repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Flash player drops frames with playing live h264 frames

    Hi
    i have been tryin to get to a adobe representative for a long time now regarding this but unfortunately no one responds fast enough. I am facing a terrible issue. When broadcasting h264 live video from a flash based encoder client i notice severe frame drops on the playback end no matter what player i use. It even happens if i use fms development server on my own system. Video becomes smooth if i add a 1 sec buffer to the player. but then the video is no longer live.
    So my question is , is theer somethign wrong with h264 encoding in flash player or thats the way it is suppose to be ? at zero buffer  frame drops are severe.  Sample config :
    320 x 240 @ 24 fps @ 90000 bps @ 100 KFI @ 3.1 level @ baseline profile.
    I sincerely some one at adobe to respond. There are many stranded questions on this topic on the forum and on the web already.

    The CPU usage is 2-6% on the i7 920 vista 64bit computer. The audio doesn't seem to be dropping. Some more clues that might help you help me
    - The quality of the video doesn't matter, 360p drops frames just as often as 720p or 1080p.
    - The dropped frames still occur even when the video is completely downloaded and replayed without any buffering needed.
    One thing that does fix the dropped frames is completely disabling my sound card in the windows playback sound options. This also fixes the second computer's dropped frames which only has onboard realtek audio. I have tried using a Creative PCI sound card and the built in realtek sound but they both behave the same. The latest drivers were installed for both.

  • Dropped frames while using multi bit rates in Flash Media Encoder 3

    I’m using the Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3 to stream live video to a host computer at 200 Kbps.  At the same time, I’m saving a copy to my hard drive at 350 Kbps. The live stream signal seems to be ok.  The saved stream has dropped frames.  Total bandwidth is about 615 Kbps.  I’ve looked at performance marking software to see if my hard drive is slow and to check my CPU speed. I can’t see what I need to save a better copy and still keep the live stream. 
    Is this just a need for more CPU speed? 
    The encoder is on a Dell Optiplex 360 Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.53GHz with 3GB RAM.  The hard drive is a 152GB IDE ST3160815AS.  It has write caching enabled on the disk.

    I saw your request for the log file in a different post.  This is one of them that was made from my encoding.  I don't see any answers in it.

  • FCP 7 seems to drop frames in Mountain Lion?

    I understand there are compatibility problems with Mountain Lion and FCP 7.   I edit independent feature films and really tried to work with FCPX but gave up in frustration -- it doesn't think like an editor......... or at least someone who has been editing for over twenty years.    Is there a way to fool FCP 7 or change a setting so it doesn't drop frames?   I'm also using a Lacie thunderbolt drive (and tried the USB 3 port as well) and it's still dropping frames.   So I don't think it's the Lacie external drive.   Anyone have a solution?
    Bryan

    well I think you're out of luck.  As I said, there were a bunch of posts complaining about this a while ago.  Don't think I ever saw a solution.  The only thing you can do is get some sort of external monitoring device like an aja or blackmagic and connect a video monitor.
    I wonder whether connecting another computer display via thunderbolt would help?  Unfortunately, don't expect any help from Apple.  As you well know, they ain't supporting fcp7 anymore. 
    I've just installed the avid media composer demo (that's why I've done a mountain lion install) cause I know I'm going to have to make that move sooner or later.
    Good luck.

  • Details of Flash player dropping frames

    Hello,
    I'm referring to something like Youtube, where the player has already buffered a number of seconds,
    yet frames are still dropped, resulting in a kind of jerkiness to the video.
    It happens whether low res SD, or high res HD is played - no difference.
    It happens whether acceleration is on or off - no difference.
    it happens even though Computer resources are in the low range, as verified
    by Task Manager.
    I read somewhere that the Flash Player may be programmed to drop frames
    if it detects it's falling behind the audio.  Can this be confirmed?
    If it is true, why is it falling behind?
    Do you really need a super computer to play 480p video at 30 fps?
    I played a 7 minutes 854x480 (16/9 aspect ratio) and I got roughly
    200 frames dropped (as shown by Youtube's "stats for nerds").
    That's approx. 1 1/2 %.
    Thanks for any enlightenment.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:

    Browser 
    Flash   Player version
    Specific   URL
    Steps   to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows 
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • Flash player dropping frames.

    Flash player has been dropping frames while watching youtube on two vista computers that I own, one 32 bit and the other 64 bit. Every few seconds the video drops a frame or two which is very annoying. As a troubleshooting step I dual booted windows 8 64bit and it plays youtube videos perfectly without dropped frames. I own an older dell that runs windows XP and it doesn't drop frames so I'm guessing this might be a flash + vista problem.
    > No frames are dropped when using the youtube HTML5 player on the vista computers.
    > Uninstalled and reinstalling flash doesn't fix the dropped frames.
    > Dropped frames occur in IE, Firefox and Chrome. IE and Firefox were both tested in Windows 8 and neither dropped frames.
    Please help me fix this problem.

    The CPU usage is 2-6% on the i7 920 vista 64bit computer. The audio doesn't seem to be dropping. Some more clues that might help you help me
    - The quality of the video doesn't matter, 360p drops frames just as often as 720p or 1080p.
    - The dropped frames still occur even when the video is completely downloaded and replayed without any buffering needed.
    One thing that does fix the dropped frames is completely disabling my sound card in the windows playback sound options. This also fixes the second computer's dropped frames which only has onboard realtek audio. I have tried using a Creative PCI sound card and the built in realtek sound but they both behave the same. The latest drivers were installed for both.

  • Flash player h264 live streaming dropping frames

    Hi
    For some reason i noticed Flash player h264 live streaming is dropping frames very rigorously when streaming to fms 3.5. There are no frames dropped on client camera end. Dropped frames correspond to  NetStreamInfo. The output is thus very jerky. This happenbs no matter what settings i use (176 x 144 @10fps). CPU usage is well below 50%.
    I noticied that if i stream the same to Red5 1.0 i do not get any frames dropped. The output is perfect as expected. Can some one please help out on this.

    Also i can confirm that the encoder used in FMLE and flash player 11.1 or above is not the same. The medium quality preset in FMLE uses "
    Bandwidth           300kbps
    Quality                Dont know
    fps                      20
    keyframeInterval  5sec
    If i use the same settings in flash player 11.1 i get heavy framedrops and bad playback no matter what quality i use. So this confirms that both encoder are not the same as adobe claims.
    On the other hand i sure would love to know why setting bandwidth to 0 creates a smooth stream without framedrops. I will request someone from adobe team to answer me here.

  • Export Issues: Green and black flashes and dropped frames

    Hello,
    So I've been having in issue in the last week exporting videos in Adobe (CS5, Premiere 5.0). It's happened both in AME and direct exports from Premiere. The sequence settings match the footage settings (1280x720 (1.0) 23.976fps MTS files). I'm using a mini matrox mxo2 hardware accelerator to speed up my export times. The sequences start with 5 seconds of a still image with a simple Title laid over it in Video two (the person's name, city etc. that is the focus of the video) which then dips to black into the footage. Everything plays back fine but after I output the sequences within the first 5 seconds (while the still img is up (a .jpg) there are flashes of green and black as well as dropped frames. It only happens a few times but it does happen in each video, only while that title is on the screen.
    I've made hundreds of similar videos with the same export settings, same sequence settings, same footage settings. I know because it's a lot of the same cameramen and I've made templates for my projects, sequences, and export settings.This has never been an issue before this week.
    I've tried mining Google and forums for an answer but can't even find other people having very similar problems.
    Any help on ideas to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated and let me know if you want any more info from me.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the reply J_Heffernan.
    So my understanding of the issue is more clear. The green fields is from a rendered clip, not from playback.
    Please try the following:
    - in control panel, go to user accounts, and locate your account, and confirm its UAC level is all the way down, reboot if required
    - if you downloaded the Matrox driver with another browser, besides IE, then redownload it again, with IE. Once completed, right click the file, go to properties, if there is a message stating its blocked, click the unblock button
    - uninstall the MXO2 driver, reboot and reinstall it
    - go to http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu let it scan to see if there is an intel chipset driver update availalble, and install it, reboot
    - lets try with a brand new project - select matrox.avi as your capture mode
    - select a matrox HD/SD sequence - try HD 1080i 29.97
    - give a new name
    - place colour bars on the timeline and streach it out
    - now do a file export, use a Matrox h.264 option, and let adobe media encoder export it
    - after it is completed, how is the playback?
    Typically you can have premiere and media encoder open at the same time.

  • Linux: flash 10.2 and crystalhd dropping frames @1080p

    I'm testing through the adobe stage demo video page the performance of the new plugin using a CrystalHD minipci-e card under linux.
    It works somewhat ok @ 720p, as I can see 25fps in the video info window and no dropped frames. CPU usage is 20% in a SL9400 with a 4500MHD.
    The problem is that in 1080p I get 4 video fps and lots of dropped frames. Shouldn't this be faster?
    On the other hand... why the stage fps stay at 10fps?

    Hi, if you have the 10.2 beta, you may want to look at this forum as they have info on Linux.

  • Optimizing work flow in FCP on new iMac? (dropped frames)

    Hello-
    I've recently purchased a new iMac, first in about 6 years. I'm looking for some advice about optimizing my work flow in FCP. I am largely self-taught, using FCP for hobbyist/amateur video.
    Until this new computer, I have been using FCP on other people's Macs (schools, arts institutions, etc), only resorting to my old Powerbook when absolutely necessary. So I have not had to worry about performance issues until now.
    I am shooting on a Kodak Zi8 pocket cam in 1080p HD .MOV files, 1920x1080 H.264, AAC audio.
    In my first attempts at editing the footage, I find that I am getting dropped frames on playback at every edit point - any time I cut between shots, add titles, etc.
    (I also tried editing some much smaller, compressed files (QT 854x480, H.264, AAC audio) in the timeline and had the frame drop problem.)
    Also, when I add titles, they do not preview render - I have to render them completely to be able to playback.
    When I allow FCP to change the sequence settings to match the clip, I get the following:
    1920 x 1080
    Aspect: HDTV 1080i (16:9)
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    In this instance I am editing footage that is stored on the local HD, but I have also tried editing footage from a USB 2.0 external drive, and got the same dropped frame problem.
    ...its a little frustrating to get these performance issues on this new computer, so I hope that someone here can help me resolve some of my problems. Hopefully this is a work flow issue, but if its a lack of hardware, well, shame on me for not looking into it enough.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi -
    H.264 is a recording and delivery format, but as you have discovered, it is very difficult to edit. Its qualities of recording a high quality image in a small file size, which make it attractive for use in Flash based camcorders, makes it very difficult for FCP to work with. Attempting to work in H.264 makes FCP drop frames, require constant rendering, etc.
    The best solution is to convert your footage to an edit friendly file format, such a ProRes LT or AIC. There will be minimal impact on the quality of the image. This conversion will result in files that are much larger than your original files, but will work easily in FCP.
    You don't say if you have FCS or just FCP, but if you do have FCS then you can use Compressor to do the conversion.
    Hope this helps.

  • Dropping frames in QT export from CS3

    I just got CS3 for my PC and I was all excited about the new
    feature that lets you export dynamic/actionscripted/MovieClip
    content. I do animation targetted at TV, so everything needs to be
    rendered to AVI or Quicktime, so I figured that this new feature
    would let me use a dynamic camera symbol as I've always wanted to.
    I've run into a problem, though: the export process seems to
    drop frames! As far as I can tell, Flash is rendering and recording
    the frames of the animation in real time (or perhaps just close to
    real time). If the computer has any hiccups because of another
    process demanding some processor time then the resulting quicktime
    will have frozen bits where the renderer couldn't keep up.
    You can see what I'm talking about by looking at the
    quicktime and an AVI of the same scene here:
    http://www.pinkandaint.com/flasherror/bad.mov
    http://www.pinkandaint.com/flasherror/good.avi
    To test this theory, I tried witching applications a bunch
    during a render. Sure enough, there were long sections in the
    resulting quicktime where the renderer missed frames. The quicktime
    is the right length and number of frames -- it just repeated the
    same frame over and over where it couldn't keep up.
    That's not the only problem, though. When I look at the
    exported quicktime file in either Quicktime Player or Premiere pro
    (version 1.5) it reports a framerate significantly lower than in
    the original FLA. In the file I'm looking at right now, the FLA's
    framerate is listed as 29.97 but the MOV file reports a rate of
    19.29 (which is, incidentally, different than the framerate I got
    any other time I exported the same scene). In premiere, when I tell
    it to interpret the footage as having 29.97 fps the clip gets
    significantly shorter than it should be -- in this case 161 frames
    rather than the 208 frames that it is in the FLA.
    I'm pretty sure this is the same way that the various
    SWF-to-video programs do things. I thought it was an interesting
    kludge to use those external programs but I was sure Adobe would be
    able to do something more elegant and sure-footed with this new
    export feature. Couldn't they have somehow guaranteed that each
    frame would get captured? It seems like they could have just
    modified the Flash player to play with artificial time, where the
    time to render each frame was always reported as 1/framerate.
    Oh, and there's one more problem. The Quicktime renderer
    seems to do something different about the order of execution of
    actionscript or something. In the rendered quicktime movie the
    first frame displays my camera symbol even though I explicitly made
    it invisible with actionscript on the first frame of its timeline.
    When displaying in the Flash player the first frame does _not_
    display the camera symbol....
    Has anyone else encountered these problems? If so, have you
    figured out a workaround? I tried setting the framerate really low
    (I was at 29.97, so I set it down to 10) but it still seemed to
    miss frames.
    -David

    I can understand your frustration with this feature as it
    tries to capture in real time what's being
    compiled in the player - but your last line is a bit unfair:
    "...it
    > exemplifies the Flash team's disregard for animators in
    favor of web developers."
    Copy Motion and Copy Motion as AS3 are useful new additions
    for animators. I will add however that I
    myself have a list of animation oriented features I would
    love to see added in flash but for now
    have you checked out www.flashants.com and their SWF2Video
    tool? It exports an SWF to AVI with
    flawless results. Worth looking into if you have the need to
    output any kind of flash content to video.

  • Dropped Frames and Render/Playback problems in Final Cut Express HD

    I use FCE HD and edit HD video off my Sony camcorder. Recently I've got rid of my old Imac G5 and have a newer 2GHz PowerPC G5 with more RAM (2GB) off a friend because my old mac wasn't fast enough and was incapable of playing back some of my edits.
    At first when i got my new mac things looked faster and it was playing transitions without dropped frames etc. However now i've started editing again and imported new projects, i've got a big problem with dropped frames during playback and rendering. I get dropped frames during unedited clips let alone at transitions and for some reason, fce will no longer render video. Unedited clips from my latest project need rendering, which i've never had before, but when i try to render them the 'writing video...' pop up flashes, but nothing happens and the video is not rendered!
    Now i can't watch and edit some of my projects without dropped frames stopping playback every other clip and i can't do anything with my new ones because the video need rendering but can't be rendered!
    Can anyone help me out on either topic?

    Hi Ross,
    Well, most people, myself included, would say you should consider yourself lucky if doing video via USB ever worked at all for you. Overall, USB is not up to the demands of video, and that is most likely why you are getting your dropped frames problem.
    The solutions would be either use your internal HD or get a good external FW drive. I know this is frustrating, as it has been for many people who look at the raw specs where USB 2.0 appears faster than FW400 but in real life, for video especially, it is not.

  • What am I doing wrong? Dropped frames on a 1.4MB Quicktime file?

    I am new to all this and get more confused by the day.
    So, it looks like HD express runs and is supported on Macbook, so, why is just importing a 1.4MB quicktime file plays fine in preview, but drops frames in canvas? Having used PC programs I am not used to these kinds of problems and wonder if I have something set up wrong!
    I have external HD and 2 GB DDR.
    The demo flash preview on the website makes it look like you can do all sort of things!
    I also set up the system correct, at least I think I did! *User Settings, Program Settings, etc.
    PS the file is 18 seconds long...
    Thanks!

    The standard QT file from the net? What's that? Every file on the net seems different. Sorenson, Flash Video, H.264. What does item properties say the clip is exactly? Most of these compressed formats don't play back in vieo editing applications properly. They're delivery formats not intended for production. FCE is DV and HDV only video editing application. Those are the formats it works with.

Maybe you are looking for
