Four corrupted frame in video
I'm trying to create a time lapse of 1170 images I took during the Geminid meteor shower. I edited all the files in Lightroom v4.3 with the Catalog Settings set to "Automatically write changes into XMP" selected. Lightroom created all the necessary XMP files for each CR2 file. All the files look great in Lightroom. After importing them into After Effects v11.0.2.12, there are four frames that are corrupt, although this varies. Two of the frames appear really dark. It's as though the Blacks got set extremely negative (e.g. -100). The other two frames look like color calibration charts. Here are the changes I made in Lightroom:
White Balance:
Temp 3600
Tint -18
Tone:
Highlights -74
Whites +21
Blacks -10
Presence:
Clarity +10
Vibrance +20
Tone Curve:
Medium Contrast
Sharpening:
Amount 30
Radius 1.2
Detail 35
Masking 10
Noise Reduction:
Luminance 15

Contrast 30
Lens Correction
Enabled with Default settings
First, is there a way to find out which filename (e.g. _S1P8449.CR2) is associated with a particular frame? When importing into AE, I selected all necessary files at once ensuring the Camera RAW Sequence was checked. There were two frames missing but it indicated a range from 8282-9453. When I render or do a memory preview, I seem to always get bad frames. In addition, they seem to be random. One time through, it was frames 356, 398, 816, and 921. The next time through, after purging the cache and memory, it was 460, 496, 727, and 1017. It's been very frustrating trying to figure out what's going on. I've tried rendering as Quicktime, FLV and AVI just to name a few. They all show these corrupted files. I even tried using the standalone Adobe Media Encoder for rendering. It too had the bad frames. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using Windows 7 with the latest service pack and all updates. I have 24 GB of memory. I have Adobe Master Collection CS6 with all the latest updates.
Thanks,
Wade
Why not simply "preprocess/ batch" your pictures in LR , adjust them to comp size (maybe slightly larger), ++ ... and export them as jpegs to AE? Although RAW - or 16 bit TIFF's , as Mylennium suggestes, retain the full quality of the image, these files are big, slow and in most instances an overkill IMHO . Lightly compressed JPEG files lose very little quality and should be more than sufficient.. Post-adjustments on these files in AE is much better invested time and effort - at least for me

Adobe Media Encoder CC Outputs Corrupted Frames
The film strip below tells the story - these are 6 frames from the rendered output of a project. Frames 1 & 2 fine, frames 3 lots of blocks and pixelization, frame 4 jumps back a few seconds earlier in the clip(!), frame 5 blocks and pixelization again, and from 6 back to where we should be. (Note that the pixelization actually occurs for 2 frames either side of the "historical" frame, I've only shown one each side below to shrink the image a little - happy to upload the full sequence as images or YouTube, etc).
Has anyone else encountered this? Fixes? (HELP!)
I originally output this a couple of months ago. I just updated my CC software to the latest yesterday and tried again - output is the same. I have output with different settings (one pass, two pass, various other quality features turned on / off), always the same output. The complete output is 4:17:39:07 (yep, just over 4 hours), and the corruption starts at 2:48:59:10. Source video is clean, and if I pull just this section out to its own timeline and output, it outputs clean - that's how I ultimately fixed it (output the piece separately, hand edited it back into place with TMPG MPEG editing tools). What scares me MOST is that I only noticed this because it was right near a chapter stop on the final DVD - where else is my video likely to be corrupt?!? I don't normally watch every frame of the final rendered output (it's all reviewed during the edit), and I shouldn't have to. I'm wondering now where else this might have occurred that I don't know about.
For review, here is the summary of source / output data:
Source: Sequence, 2013_08_31_National, 1440x1080 (1.3333), 25fps, Upper, 04:17:39:07, 48000 Hz, Stereo
Output: 2013_08_31_National.m2v, PAL, 720x576, 25 fps, Lower, Quality 100, VBR, 2 Pass, Min 2.80, Target 4.10, Max 7.00 Mbps, Dolby Digital, 192kbps, 48 kHz Stereo, 16 bit
I normally have "Render at Maximum Depth" and "Use Maximum Render Quality" checked on the final output, although I did do an earlier draft output of this without those checked - exact same frames had errors.I have the same problems making videos for a DVD.. I have been rendering output for 15 musical videos, and they behave like madmaxmovies explains. I don´t know how to get a film strip like above, but my videos do the same. Out of the 15 videos, only one has no problems at all, the rest have like 2 - 3 such passages in every video (2-3 mins long)
Source (example): AA040101.MXF, Type: XDCAM-HD 422 Movie, File Size: 1,9 GB, Image Size: 1920 x 1080, Frame Rate: 25,00, Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 16 bit - Mono, Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono, Total Duration: 00:05:55:05, Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
Output (example file): PAL, 720x576, 25 fps, Progressive, Quality 75%, VBR, 2 pass, Min 2.80, Target 5.00, Max 7.00 Mbps, PCM Audio, 48 kHz, Stereo, 16 bit
UPDATE:
I tried to make an output directly from PP. The first result was good - no problems, but in second output the problem occured again, in a different spot compared to the "Jump" in the previous output.
When importing the mpeg-file with corrupted frames, into a timeline in the project, the output of this video-file did not have any corruptions in the spot where it previous was, Also when rendering just a small part of the original file, around the spot where the corruption had occured before, this output was ok.

Is it normal that a Mac Mini 1.6duo play back of HD 60 frame home video is shuddery / jerky ? is this just processor limits ?
I have a pansonic 14meg camera which shoots HD 1060 30 frame and 720 60 frame .
I have been using the 720 6 frame . Playback using on my camera is perfect , but when I download on to my Intel 1.6duo macmini play back is jerky ... is this just processor limitation or if Mini should be fine to play back (using Quicktime7) could it be file corruption / camera issue.
I think it is just my old computer probably starting to struggle !
Many thanksCouple of things:
There is virtually no standardisation of video formats. The file suffix is if little use to use as, in the case of video, files are just containers for data streams encoded and decoded by Codecs. Pretty much every manufacturer has their own codecs for each and every camera. Put it this way: every Jpeg still is pretty much the same, as there is an agreed standard for that format. There is no such guarantee with avi, mov etc. That's why the model and format of the camera is important.
This model was released in 2012, and you're trying to read data from this using a QuickTime 7, which predates that by a few years. Oddly, Snow Leopard came with QuickTime X, so I'm not sure what you've done there.
iPhoto does not guarantee to import all video from all cameras. What cameras it does support are usually still cameras with a video add on. What you have is a camcorder and the correct app for importing and manipulating video from such a device is iMovie rather than iPhoto. It may be able to transcode it. -
Slip and slide tools don't display the four reference frames
According to the help page, "when you use the Slip or Slide tool, the Program Monitor displays the four frames involved in the edit side by side, except when editing audio only". On my machine, when I use the slip or slide tool, the program monitor continues to display the same clip; it does not divide itself up into the handy four reference frames at all. The tool still seems to work, doing its thing on the timeline, but it's useless without the four frames.
Anyone have any idea how I screwed this up, I have searched everywhere in the preferences etc, and also here and on google, but can't for the life of me figure out why it is doing this to me.
In the image below, I have the slide tool activated, and am dragging a clip, but the monitor window on the top right remains stubbornly singular.Well I solved it myself. I will note it here so others in the same situation will find the solution.
I had installed the MainConcept Mpeg Pro plugin suite (v.5) soon after installing Premiere; Mainconcept apparently (and inexplicably) does not support this feature in the playback/monitor window. Which renders these tools useless when the Mainconcept playback is active. Very strange omission on Mainconcept's part.
To fix it go to:
Project>Project Settings>General
At the bottom of the window that pops up is a drop-down menu entitled "Video Rendering and Playback"; mine was set to playback with the Mainconcept Renderer; I switched it to Mercury Engine Playback and now the reference frames pop up as they should with Slip, Slide and other tools.
Problem solved! -
This is how you extract frames from video
right then, in answer to many posts about how to get the individual frames from video, here is my solution. it seems to work with mpg files but it doesnt seem to work with any of the avi files i tried. not sure why it doesnt work with those. i have modified javas frame access.
nothing is displayed except it prints which frame it is doing.
if anyone wants to improve it, please do. i still dont understand fully how it works so i probably wont be able to answer many questions about it. anyway here it is:

private Dimension size;The quality of the produced video from this example is very poor.
It comes to huuuuge surprise the following fact.
If you comment the line where you set the PostAccessCodec, the chain of the codecs is:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Direct Draw Renderer. ( The one used from the system to decode and render)
If you run the example purely as is above you get the following sequence(as long with the poor quality):
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Windows GDI Renderer.
So you say lets set another Renderer. So
you add the following line videoTracker.setRenderer( new DDRenderer() )
What comes to a surprise is the following chain of codecs:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Post Codec -> Java RGB Converter - > DDRenderer
The quality now may be perfect but video runs to slow. The surprising thing here is that even though we have set the outputFormat of the PostAccessFrame codec to RGBFormat the system converts it again to RGB through codec Java RGB Format.
After searching a lot and reaching the conclusion that the deference between the 2 RGB's is their sizes I sudently was brought in front of a method called grabFrame(). Bels started ringing inside my head. Starts were comming up. Looking at the definition of the class com.sun.media.renderer.video.DDRenderer I descovered that this damn class implements the FrameGrabbingControl Interface. What the f.....? The problem that consumed 4 days of my life and multiplied with 10 to give hours has finally come to an and.
Summing up the solution for grabbing frames is this!!!!!
DDRenderer renderer = new DDRenderer();
videoTrack.setRenderer( renderer );
and in your actionPerformed implementation
FrameGrabbingControl fr = (FrameGrabbingControl)renderer.getControl( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer frame = fr.grabFrame();
The following stuff ...are stated in FrameAccess

Still frame from video: PS Elements 9
I am new to PS, trying to get a still frame from a video. My camera uses a file MP4, but PS says it does not accept that format. How do I convert my MP4 videos so I can get some still pix from it? I did the file>import>> frame for video>browze. It works with a sample video on my computer but not the video from my camera. PLEASE HELP! Thank you
One more thing---I'm working with PC: Windows 7 and only the PSE, not the premier version.

It will be right next to the movie in your library and the jpg file will end up on your hard disk right next to the movie file. You can see the actual file by right (or control) clicking on the image in the library view and selecting "show in Finder/Explorer"

I am doing slow motion in audio and video using AVFoundation(for Video) and Dirac(Audio). As part of it, i will show the video as frames in which the user will select the frames to do slow motion. Eg: 5-6 min of 10 min video.
I have to show the users two kinds of videos 1. through the video recorder from my application itself. 2. from the gallery.
Case1: No problem Now,i can record the videos though my video recorder and show the videos as frames to the user to select. Once the user selects some frames(Eg: 5 to 6 min of 10 min recorded video), using the below code, i am able to find the start/end duration of the selected frames or video.
NSNumber *start = [info objectForKey:@"_UIImagePickerControllerVideoEditingStart"]; NSNumber *end = [info objectForKey:@"_UIImagePickerControllerVideoEditingEnd"]; int startMilliseconds = ([start doubleValue] * 1000);int endMilliseconds = ([end doubleValue] * 1000);
Case2: In this case, i am able to pick the video from the gallery and show them to the user in the form of frames to select. However, when i try to find the start/end duration of the video as i did in case 1 with the same code, its not working. I am always getting "0" for start/end duration.
Can you please give some suggestion on my Issue ?+1 .. also. i'd to know is using "_UIImagePickerControllerVideoEditingStart"
the app won't be rejected..
thanks,

Why doesn't Premiere handle variable frame rate video?
Variable frame rate video comes from many places these days: phones, live streamed video recordings.
Adobe Premiere is a supposedly production level piece of software that cost a good chunk of change.
How is it 2012 and Adobe does not still have an answer to this problem? After trying to editing/convert/mux/edit variable frame rate videos for the past 5 hours I am just exhausted. No amount of conversion apps, etc have saved us and THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE TOO.
We have spent thousands on Adobe software packages over the last decade, probably 10s of thousands, and the only answer I find consistently is to switch to Vegas.
Surely, SURELY someone at Adobe with real insight into the issue can help answer the question of whether users moving into different medium should find a place elsewhere in the software ecosystem...
Message was edited by: Kevin Monahan
Reason: to make article more searchableThe file I am trying to edit was recorded in a streaming application called XSplit, very popular in the game / live streaming community.
The frame rate is variable, slightly I am guessing, because the real time nature of the recording/stream. The issue is that while WMP and VLC play the file back 100% correctly, when played back inside Premiere CS6 the file drifts out of sync so at the end of a 2 hour clip, we are talking more than a full second or so.

Re-frame bad video by zooming in?
I want to zoom in on some video clips that were poorly shot and center the action in the frame. Anyone know of some inexpensive software, shareware, or utility that can do this?
Here are a couple options:
- MPEG Streamclip allows cropping of the video (but if you stretch a smaller group of pixels over the screen, it will degrade quality - so experiment with a short clip before you convert a bunch of video if you want it full screen).
- Add a decorative frame that covers up the offending part of the video. Quicktime Pro ($20?) lets you create frames (additional video layer), which can be any shape or size (or opacity) that you can design in Photoshop/Elements.

Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
In both cases:
Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
Right-click (or control-click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock. -
At what point does iM 09 reputedly drop the 2nd frame of video
Reading the boards it seems to be accepted that iM 09 drops every other frame of video in it's processing as opposed to iMHD 6 which is reputed to produce superior video quality.
At what point in the video processing does iM 09 skip that second frame? Is the quality lost when initially transferring the video info into the program or when the edited info is transferred to iDVD for burning?iMovie 'drops' the frames of video footage that is in DV format upon export of the video, not import. All the frames are imported, but not used when iMovie is 'shared.'
That is what Steve Mullen addresses in his 'fix' to get best quality with DV footage in iMovie 9. See his comments in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1882630&tstart=0
WAAAAY down in the comments, he says:
+It makes no difference how you get DV into iM.+
+All these posts about 06 miss his point -- which is that there is NO WAY to export interlaced DV from iM09 (or 08). One field is always missing so quality is always lost.+
+Currently, for standard definition video (PAL/NTSC) iM09 will export full quality interlaced video ONLY if it is AIC. So you've got to convert DV to AIC. iM likes AIC. For example, AVCHD is always converted by iM to AIC.+
+Bottom line -- you must edit AIC because iM will not edit either DV or AVCHD.+
+The difference is that iM will automatically convert AVCHD during import. With DV you need to do it yourself. Of course, you need to do it correctly.+
+And, you must export it correctly. You cannot Share to iDVD. You must Share to QT.+ -
Where Is PS CS3's "Frame from Video Grabber"?
In Photoshop Elements 2 there was an excellent "Frame from Video" tool which enabled you to play video clips and easily navigate to the exact frame.
You then pressed a "Grab Frame" button and the job was done.
I can't find this item in PS CS3 Extended. The only thing I can find is the "Import Video to Layers" command which isn't quite the same.Thanks a lot ekim wahs.
Why do I keep getting this image of a mirror .............. ?
Your information (together with a few things I have managed to dig out) has helped clarify the situation.
There are certainly more possibilities than in the old PSE 2 but I tend to like simple things ......... they go better with my simple mind.
Thanks again ! -
Importing frames from video help please
Why is photoshop elelments 9 not recognizing .wmv or .avi files when trying to import photos from videos. I have used this feature before without problems using .wmv videos, why did it quit working all of the sudden?
When something goes awry, start by resetting the preferences. Quit the editor, then restart it from the button in the organizer or the button in the Welcome Screen, whilie holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (command+option+shift on a mac). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
However, having said that, are you sure these wmv files are the same as the ones you did before? Frame from video doesn't work with high-def videos, for example, and it's not great with long ones, either. -
Mixed frame rate video clips on the same Blu-ray disc
Before I go into the detail, this actually isn’t an issue for me, but more of a finding the answer to a different question, so please bear with me.
To explain: I live in the UK, and I’m forever challenged by the different native video frame rates imposed by the PAL and NTSC standards. Every consumer camcorder I’ve ever seen only produces HD output (1920 x 1080) at either 50 fields/second interlaced, or 25 (sometimes 50) frames/second progressive. Some action cameras (Go Pro) I possess allow me to record at 30fps progressive, in full HD, which for fast movement is simply better. This in itself is not really a problem, but I use other software (all USA sourced) for video production whose best results are only visible when the finished HD output is 1080/60i.
Having mixed frame rate video is a real problem for the DVD standard, but no so much for Blu-ray. Indeed Adobe Encore neatly gets around this problem, so I can actually author a Blu-ray disc which contains full HD video clips that may be either 50i or 60i. Both types of video exist on the same disc, and when played back through a Blu-ray player/TV combination, the resultant video clips are shown correctly. Player and TV switch seamlessly to the correct setting to handle the video content. So, I have a solution to my problem, but at the same time, a question I can’t find an answer to, which is this:
Does the Blu-ray specification allow video clips of different native frame rates (i.e. 25fps and 30fps) assuming the resolution is the same, to co-exist on the same Blu-ray disc as a supported feature?
It works, but I can’t find one shred of information that says what I’m doing is supported.
Comments are most welcome.
Regards,

Encore requires you to specify the project type as PAL or NTSC (whether you start it as Bluray or DVD), and does not allow you to change it later. Also, if you try to create a transcode type for PAL in an NTSC project you cannot get to the 25 fps setting (and therefore, I think, cannot do it).
But if you import a Bluray legal 25i file to an NTSC project, it is happily added.
DVD player conventional wisdom is that PAL players handle NTSC disks, but NTSC players do not generally handle PAL disks. I never quite understood why the TVs were not more of the issue. Do Bluray players even differentiate between PAL and NTSC?
Even if the player will handle PAL, the TV may well not do so - so there is more going on.
NTSC uses (generally) 60Hz systems whereas PAL is 50Hz hence the problem.
Do not try to mix standards as it will not be allowed - however, multiple frame rates are allowed as long as they are within spec for that TV standard.
They are best avoided though - otherwise you run a very real chance of serious asset truncation as the TV display switches between different resolutions & frame rates.
