FLASH PRO CC - FRAME RATE ISSUES :(

In Adobe Flash Professional CC, how do you change the frame rate for different segments of the animation, instead of changing the frame rate for the whole animation?
I would really appreciate the help

just call startplayF and pass the movieclip, frame rate, start frame and end frame.
function startplayF(mc:MovieClip,framerate:int,startFrame:int,endFrame:int):void{
mc.startframe=startFrame;
mc.endframe=endFrame;
mc.gotoAndStop(startFrame);
mc.interval=setInterval(playF,1000/framerate,mc);
function playF(mc:MovieClip):void{
if(mc.endframe>mc.startframe){
mc.nextFrame();
} else {
mc.prevFrame();
if(mc.currentFrame==mc.endframe){
clearInterval(mc.interval);

Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
Thanks for your help.
Michael

You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CS6 for Broadcast ProRes HQ Frame rate issues

I switched from Avid to work on a quick project with DSLR footage shot on the 5D Mark III at 29.97 psf which is not to be confused with 29.97i, a standard frame rate necessary for broadcast. So the commercial spot was cut together, I punched in the proper settings (the very same settings that work with Avid 6.0+ and Final Cut Pro 7), and hit export. When exporting either a Quicktime Animation or Pro Res file from Premiere Pro CS6, premiere creates a file with a faulty framerate, it comes out as 28.4 instead of 29.97. I thought I was going crazy, but no, there are tons of documented experiences with 23.94 being 20-something, and on an on. It seems as if Adobe did not do a good enough job with integrating the Pro Res codec into their software. The only way I could get around it was to export to something else (Blu-ray H.264 at 29.97), and then re-encode that file to Pro Res HQ with either compressor or adobe media encoder. The problem lies in exporting progressive footage as interlaced, it just completely screws up the frame rate. The worst bit is that, I need Pro Res HQ for the distribution house for the commercial spots, they require the ProRes HQ MOV at 29.97i and if anything is off, I get charged for it.
Does anyone else have problems with Adobe Premiere lacking on the professional end? Or similar experience with this problem?
Just do a search for pro res frame rate issue premiere and you will see a lot of other users with the same issue.

Video frame rate issues

When I watch flash videos (mostly in hd and from youtube or gametrailers) in full screen, the frame rate becomes noticably slower. I have tried the 10.1 beta3 and this fixes the frame rate issue, but several times per video the image garbles. Everything runs fine outside of fullscreen. Otherwise I'm using Vista/Win7 64 bit with a 2.6 ghz Core 2 Duo, a radeon 4850 (latest drivers), and 2+ gigs of free memory. When running 10.1 without hardware acceleration or earlier versions with default settings my cpu usage never goes above 20% on each core. Does anyone know how to fix the image garblng or low framerates while in full screen?
Thank you in advance!

This is the tearing that I get with acceleration enabled

DVCPro HD frame rate issues

I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I performed a couple searches and couldn't find a thread to perfectly answer it.
I have a tape that was shot (with the Pansasonic HDX900, shot to tape and not P2) at two formats, 720/24P and 720/60P. Most of the tape was shot at 24P, but the cameraman shot a few minutes shot at 60P to create slow motion. Both 24P and 60P are on the same tape. I am capturing directly from the camera, not from a deck. I have a couple issues:
1.) My device control through FCP does not seem to be working, so I can only capture with "capture now." My device control setting seems to be right (DVCPro Firewire), and I've tried to restarting FCP and the camera. It doesn't seem like this is a trash-the-prefs issue, so does anyone have any thoughts? I have driven the camera's deck through FCP before.
2.) What is the best way to work with the different frame rates? Right now it captures at 60P no matter which capture setting I have it set at (when shot at 24P it duplicates frames to make it 60P). Is this a result of mixing formats on the same tape?
I'm a little lost, thanks.
Stef

It doesn't have that function and after consulting the manual (again) I am beginning to believe that playback control is only possible internally to the camera, rather than externally from another device. It doesn't explicitly state this, but the manual DOES specifically mention the record start/stop functions but has no mention of playback start and stop.
That said, the larger issue at the moment and for the future is the frame rate issue.

Frame rate issues when displaying video on 50" Plasma

I've been using my Mac Mini (Late 2009) as a media centre since I bought it in Dec 2009. Until recently it's been great working with everything I throw at it.
Over the last two weeks though I've noticed issues with lower frame rates and jerky video performance. When I try to watch a film full-screen on my 50" tv I get a much reduced frame rate to the point that I'm using it less and less as a media centre. When I run them windowed the frame rate issue is still present but less apparent than when I run it full screen.
During full-screen playback my processors are at 85%-90% capacity.
System:
Mac Mini 2009
2.53 Mhz
4gb Ram
Nvidia 3400`
Mac OSX 10.6.7

Connected to Panasonic 50" plasma via HDMI (Mini-display port to HDMI)
Screen resolution 1600 x 900.
I've been trying it with the digital version of Tron Legacy (m4v format, 1.84GB, 854 x 480) and more simple .avi files ripped from my dvd collection and get the same result.
Action Taken
I've reinstalled the 10.6.7 combo
Run ONYX to update to preferences etc
Ran TechTools to check any memory issues
Looking for any tips as this is really confusing me. My next step is to wipe the entire system and start again but I only did this a couple of months ago so I'm not keen to try again.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Frame Rate Issue Exporting .mp4 using h.264 compression

I really like the h.264 codec, but I have to use Quicktime Conversion, instead of QT Movie, when I export. I get a 'Codec Error' when I try to export as a QT Movie. That is the first problem, but I work around it.
The frame rate issue comes up when I try to export at larger screen sizes like 640x480. I have no problems at 320x240, but when I move up to the larger screen sizes the resultant QT mp4 plays back at 1/2 the specified frame rate, no matter what frame rate I try. It is really bizarre.
I tried lowering the key frame number to reduce the processor load on playback, but this had no effect. This was a tip I picked up here.
I tried lowering the bit rate, too. The only thing that 'fixes' it is to go back to the lower screen size.
The problem is reproducible when the file is played on other (faster) computers.
Any ideas?

Flash frame rate issue

Hi Guys,
I just bought a new asus lap top with i7 2630 processor and of course i wanted to stress it with flash 3d right away to see how it perform.
I am using away3d for flash player 10 and i build test app that has one sphere as a container ant for each vertice i on that sphere i added another small sphere.Of course i bumped up segments on parent sphere so that i have as much verticeses. When i build it the flash player allocate about 400mb of memory and frame rate drops to 1 frame per second. Now i understand 3d business in flash is heavy on processor because flash is not utilizing GPU yet but when i open task manager my CPU usage isn't 100 percent. its about 50% all the time.
This is how it looks like
There are 1562 small spheres on the image above
I don't understand why frame rate is so small when CPU is not working 100%. Mybe this is an windows issue or fact that flash allocated to many memory.
I have 8gb of RAM.
Or just flash is not designed for such a thing. I just don't understand why it performs badly when processor is not working 100%
Maybe the problem is how away3d works. I have no clue and don't know where to start search for solution.

I guess there's a few issues. Adding concurrency/threads means that there has to be some sort of thread synchronisation to allow atomic updates to some datastructures without which the system would be unstable. It can be a lot of work to add thread synchronisation to the existing player. There doesn't seem to be much call for it amongst flash developers, but surely that day must come. For code not written to take advantage of multiple threads, adding thread support might actually degrade performance.
It's not a small project.

Can I control the Iris Pro graphics frame rate or other settings?

I'm having an issue with a game. The game runs fine, but the graphics processing makes the frame rate go up to 100 or more FPS depending on some of the graphics settings. The CPU temperature then quickly climbs to 200 degrees F. I consider this unsafe, and would like to limit the frame rate of the game. However, the in-game option to control the frame rate has no effect. After discussions with the technical support, they suggest I try to set graphics settings outside of the game. (To be fair, the Mac client for the game is in beta, so they've probably not worked out all the compatability issues yet.)
However, I can find no control panel for the Intel Iris Pro in OSX Mavericks. Is it possible to limit/throttle the graphics from OSX Mavericks, or from terminal commands? The display settings give me resolution, brightness and color, but nothing as advanced as frame rate.
System:
15-inch Retina, late 2013
2 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
OSX 10.9.1

Create a new sequence with the settings you want - File > New > Sequence.
Take one of your 25fps video files and edit (or drag) it to the timeline of that just created sequence. You should be prompted to match the sequence settings to the source clip. Say yes. You can now click on the clip sitting on the timeline that you used to set the sequence settings. This will select it and then you can delete it by using the backspace key.
You should now have an empty sequence with the settings you want.
Return to your original sequence with the wrong frame rate, and click anywhere on the timeline. Type Command + A to select all the clips on you timeline, and then Command + C to copy them.
Switch to your new (empty) sequence and click anywhere in it. Type Command + V to paste your clips. You should now have your edited clips on the a sequence with the settings you want.

Hey there, Graphics/Frame Rate Issue

Hey there,
I have a late (December) 2011 Macbook Pro 15in, 2.5ghz, 4gb ram notebook. I have noticed within the past few weeks that my frame rates when playing games has started stuttering. Sometimes its buttery smooth and I am extremely happy, but now, more times than not, the frame rates stutter all over the place. This makes playing games like Counter Strike or StarCraft II extremely unpleasant. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this issue? I have the
AMD Radeon HD 6770M built in that I make sure to have enabled prior to playing any games.
Thanks for your help!

How RAM intensive are these games? You can open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and see if it may be due to RAM or even hard drive speed. If it's due to RAM, you can always increase the RAM in your computer and if the hard drive is being accessed frequently for page ins and outs, you might want to upgrade your hard drive as well.
But I'd first look to see if the games are memory hogs.
Regards,
Clinton

Problems editing ProRes 422 in FCPX– ? Frame rate issue?

I cannot edit video I import into FCPX except by using the Proxy media option in preferences.
I'm recording video from my HCX920 camcorder to Apple ProRes 422 format with Wirecast as the recording app during simultaneous live broadcasting.
The Wirecast encoding settings are set at: ProRes 422; 1920x1080; 29.97 fps for video and the audio is encoded as 24-bit integer; 48kHZ; 16-bit sample rate.
The video feed from the camera is 1080i at 59.94 fps.
The raw video file is identified as "Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM" in Get Info. In QT 7 the FPS is listed as "29.81" Playing fps with the movie playing ranges from 28-30fps.
After I've imported the video to FCPX the "Project Properties" shows the video to be "1920x1080 | 59.94p". It seems that FCPX is importing the video recorded at 29.97 as if it were recorded at 59.97fps. Is FCPX transcoding my video to a higher frame rate?
I am unable to play the movie once it is placed into the timeline. It immediately stutters and shows the dropped frame warning. I am running FCPX on a Quad-Core Mac Pro with 20GB of RAM. The only way I can play the clip is by creating proxy media and choosing this in preferences.
What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
John

Kevin,
No, I was never able to get this problem worked out. It caused me to pull my hair out. When I compared the video quality of the ProRes output from Wirecast with the video recorded in AVHCD format on my camera's SDHC card the difference was dramatic. So I've stopped simultaneous ProRes recording in Wirecast and I now import the AVHCD material into FCPX from my camcorder's card.
I do, however, record the audio from my Wirecast broadcast and synch it with the video from the camera. The audio captured by the camera's built in mechanism is abysmally poor. This causes me more work but the final output is far superior to what I was getting from my Wirecast recordings regardless of format.
I wish I could help or offer more encouragement.
John

Video problems in DVD SP burned DVDs - FCP frame rate issue?

Please help! We have a 99 minute feature project that we shot in 24p (NOT 24pa) on a DVX100, imported the footage into FCP in 29.97fps, and edited in a 24fps sequence timeline. When we exported the sequence through compressor (DVD High Quality 120min 4:3 option) to create the 23.98fps mpeg-2 and burned it to a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (with aiff audio because DVD SP had a problem importing the Dolby file for some reason), the movie image had blurring or ghosting when played on a dvd player and looked very "digital" (not like 24p).
After reading several postings on here, we thought the problem may have been because we were coming from a 24p timeline. Following a suggestion made to another post, we exported the 24fps sequence into a Quicktime movie and then imported that back into FCP and put it in a 29.97fps timeline. It needed rendering and we did that. Then we exported the new 29.97 sequence through Compressor into a 29.97 mpeg-2 and burned with DVD SP. When played on a DVD player, the video looked better this time, but appears to be moving in a sort of slow motion.
Because of the length of the project, we've been using dual layer DVDs, but the break point doesn't seem to be causing any problems. Also, we've slightly decreased the "Average Bit Rate" in Compressor from 5 to 4.5 before creating the mpeg-2, etc. files because the default description of the 120min high quality setting said "90 minutes of video with AIFF on DVD-5" and our movie is 99min. Taking it down to 4.5 changed the default description to "102 or 103 minutes".
Each time we burn, the video and audio seem to be completely in sync... it looks as though the problem is with the speed and I don't know at this point if this is frame rate, bit rate, pulldown, method of burning (i.e. DVD SP rather than something like Toast).
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to try and include all the info I could. If anything is unclear or I left anything out, please ask. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!
MacPro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you, thank you, thank you thrillcat and Silal! Getting rid of the render files and then copying the 24 sequence into the new 29.97 sequence worked like a charm. There were some minor things to fix (small gaps between certain cuts, audio and video clips that needed to be lengthened or cut by a couple of frames) but overall very painless... especially when compaired with the prospect of having to re-edit or re-import all our footage (as the guy from Apple tech support suggested).
On the advice of our sound editor, we exported the 29.97 sequence using Quicktime Conversion into a DV Stream choosing DVC Pro in the Options field. We then burned the resulting file onto a regular 4.7GB DVD using DVD Studio Pro. And PRESTO, our movie was back in its wonderful 24p state!
I greatly appreciate everyone's help. Thanks again!

Slow MacBook Pro with frame lag issues

Hi,
When I switched on my MacBook Pro (mid 2010) today it was very, very slow booting and very slow in OSX (Mounatin Lion, 10.8.4)
The activity monitor showed that the CPU-usage constantly was around 50% for a couple of minutes but then went down to 1 - 10 and I couldn't see any specific app that ate all the CPU-usage. Same thing with the disk activity. The memory used 2 GB after boot.
However, after the CPU-usage, the disk activity and the memory "cooled off" the computer was still slow and laggy. With laggy I mean that I had frame lag issues playing videos from internet or DVDs or when I used the mission control or scrolled down a website. Kind of like when drivers for a graphic card aren't installed on a PC.
I can't remember I did anything out of the ordinary before this happened, except installing a few apps that I've now removed.
I've run the Apple Hardwaretest, repaired the file system with both Disk Utility and fsck and I've also checked these: http://osxdaily.com/2012/10/11/mac-running-slow-reasons/
I'm thinking about buying an SSD disk (already have 8 GB memory) or wipe everything clean and install fresh. You think that would help? I'd rather see another solution to this problem because the computer has worked flawlessly before all this happened.
Best regards
/Axel

Speedgrade frame rate issue when loading reels. EDL from Premiere CS6

We have a short film, cut in Premiere (time base in sequence is set to 23.976 and display format is set at 24fps) I imported the EDL into Speedgrade for coloring. My Speedgrade edit settings have a base frame rate of 24fps and the option "both edits have current base frame rate as set above or within the EDL itself" is selected. However when I go to load reels from desktop I am getting an error that says "some of the reels do not match your current frame rate." In turn this is causing our exported Quicktime (TIFF uncompressed at 24fps) to not sync up with our audio back in premiere. It looks as if we are missing frames.
Is this an EDL issue with Premiere? Or is it a Speedgrade frame rate settings issue? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Some details on the project:
Shot at 4K on Red Scarlet, at 24fps. Edited in Premiere CS6.
Premiere Settings:
Editing Mode: Custom
Timebase: 23.976 frames/second
Display Format: 24fps Timecode
Speedgrade Settings:
Timeline FPS: 24fps

I don't have had problems if the frame ratio is the same in all process, and in this case it isn't. If the Scarlet footage is to 24 fps, why to use 23.976 in Premiere?

Interpreting Frame Rate issues

Hey guys, got a tough one here:
I'm rendering Toonboom animations to Quicktime Mov Files at 24fps - although when i import them into Premiere CS6 it will only 50% of the time recognise the correct frame rate - the other times it will choose a random frame rate ( like 4.8, 6 or 12fps ) and in turn lose the footage between the frames - such as if it is running at 6 fps it will only display 6 of the 24 frames per second and play it in realtime but missing the majority of the frames
When going to Modify and trying to interpret the footage back to 24fps it simply speeds up the 6 fps to 24 so it then plays at a collosal speed and if i slow the footage back down in the speed duration menu it goes back to the 6fps or whatever it was before
Every other program ( Media Player, Sony Vegas Pro ) recognise these files as 24fps - how can i get premiere to do the same?

My first recommendation would be to bypass QuickTime and choose another format. See if that fares any better.
