Fram junp/zooms on start of clip

Hi, Yes i 'm looking for help but I think this is a hard one sorry about that.
Ok I have two tracks of footage where I have a cap between two clip on track 2.
when I move my player head over the start of a clip I can see on the tv that the fram zoom for that first fram just a little but you see it jerk/zoom just uneven if you have come across this you will know what I mean. I have rended the project but dose not help. any ideas as to what I should do. pleased for your help.
Trevor

Hi , And thanks to you all this has not been to get across.
v2 ------------- --------------- -----------------
v1 ----------------------------------------------------
when player head get to the gap start or finish the fram on track v1 moves up or down dosen't hold still as if the start or ed of the gap is making this do this is a strange,it's just at the end fram or the first fram of the gap. I have closed the gaps and it's fine, but as you know it's cheating it shoud't happen. it's not praitcal either.
Now the same thing happens if you turn the whole thing the other way around.
I think I saw you had dell montors are you Happy with them?
I have to invest in 2 products which would you say I should spend most of my hard cash on a screen or a montor.
It's late and time for bed here in the uk. I thank you for your help may be I can send you a personal mail tomorrow.
RT is set at unlited and play back at dynamic.

Different zoom levels for different clips in the same project?

Hi
I am making a movie with videos from two different cameras. As a result some of the clips are cut down in size to a small portion of the screen. This can be solved if it is possible to use different zoom levels for different clips in the same project. I have not been able to do this. Is it possible?
kind regards
Soren

You can scale the small clips up to the same size of the larger one... but you will get a quality loss.
Using Motion or Scale to Frame Size commands
Better to scale the large ones down to a Sequence that matches the smaller clip dimensions.

Freeze frame in the middle of a clip?

For an instructional DVD, I need to be able to freeze a frame in the middle of a clip, without the sound (as I'll put up some text messages).
I've ended up making copies of the clip, and using the hold condition, and trying to line them all up by hand, but this doesn't seem like an ideal way to do this.
Also, is there an easy way to turn off the sound for the 'hold' part of the end of a clip? Would be nice if there were a boolean I'd overlooked, but I guess I'll have to open my "Spencer's" Motion 4 book, and try to remember how audio keyframing works?

As mentioned by others, it's best to perform this effect in FCP. Bring your Motion project back into FCP and place the playhead where you want to freeze the frame. Press shift/n to create a still image in the Viewer. Blade the clip at the playhead and perform an insert edit to add the freeze frame. Cutting out the audio in FCP is easy as well and there's several ways to go about it. I would simply blade the audio at the freezing point and drag the remainder of the audio to snap to the point where the motion starts up again, depending on the type of audio effect you are looking for.
Although there aren't any behaviors in Motion that affect audio in that fashion (except for Audio fade in/out behavior) you can still edit the audio somewhat in Motion. Just go to the Audio Editor Tab and adjust the levels there or press ⌘6 to reveal the Audio Tab then right click the audio file to duplicate the audio file, set an out point for the first audio clip in the Audio Editor Tab where you want it to freeze, note the frame, and on the duplicated audio file set the in point at the same frame that was set for the first audio clips out point, then place the duplicated audio clip were you'd like the audio to resume.

During Import, scene breaks are not starting new clip.

Imovie HD: When importing from my camcorder (Mini DV) scene breaks are not starting new clips. The video is going into one clip which I then have to manually split each scene into individual clips before editing.
My preferences are set to: Import/Start a new clip at each scene break=ON..
The last time I used Imovie4, this same thing occurred. Prior to that, in Imovie4, it worked as advertised.
Could it be my camera settings?? Panasonic PV-DV910

Problem solved.
I normally do not have the date and time displayed in the camera's viewfinder. So, I didn't realize that the date/time had been reset to 1998 and not active. After setting to date/time to the present, NEW recording - when imported - was being split into individual clips at the scene breaks.
However the previously recorded video would not.
My punishment for my lapse is to manually do the "split". But I am a much wiser videographer.

Zoom in on video clips???

anyone know of any plugins that allow zooming in on video clips?
sort of like the ken burns effect for still photos?
thanks

They MIGHT have what you need. Too many to browse today. This is easily done in FCE or FCP. If it is a still shot you might try zooming in in iphoto and adding a disolve between the original and the blow up.

Start New clip a scene break

I am importing HD footage into IMovie HD I have selected start new clip at scene break but all it does is import as one huge file and does not start a new clip at each scene break. I know the importing has to be done at 1/4 speed because of my older mac G4. Is this the reason it does not start a new clip at scene break? Is there another setting besides in preferences I need to adjust?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
And there is no sceen-detection program in the Mac environment at all to my knowledge.
Rumour says that there is such a program on the PC-platform. But how this is done
and how many clips that a panoramic (panning) recording would split up into is
a bit of my curiosity.

Easy way to do smooth motion pan and zoom on a video clip?

Howdy..
As a recent convert from Vegas and Premiere Pro, I'm very happy with FCP6, with 1 issue: Easy moves on video clips.
It's very easy to setup a move with the motion filter, but the problem is that zooming with moving on the clip with 'ease-in' is problematic.
The scaling and motion seem to accelerate at different rates, making it very tough to achieve a smooth pan and zoom at the same time (either one by itself is easy).
I've tried using anchor points, but that's difficult when doing several moves on a clip.
Basically, is there ANY way (either native or via a plug-in) to set up simple pan+zooms on a video clip, with smoothness turned on without having the 'slingshot' effect that you get? I know I can mess around with the acceleration points, but this is tough to do with 100 of clips that need adjusting.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer..
Thanks...
Best,
Ben

Howdy...
Usually I set easy-in/out on the canvas window (for center) and then 'smooth' on the keyframes (for scale) in the motion window.
Can you actually set smoothing for center in the viewer? I think you can only set easy-in/out for center in the canvas. (could be wrong on this one).
I wish it worked like in Motion. Much easier and more intuitive, but one shouldn't have to jump to a different app just to do a simple pan and zoom...
Any other ideas?

Goto a new frame and stop the current movie clip?

In cs5.5, I have a frame with a movie clip on it. When a user clicks a button, I want the movie clip to stop and the user to be directed to another frame. It is correctly redirecting to a different frame, however, the movie clip is still on the stage and playing. How can I modify the following code to make it not just go to a different frame, but also stop the movie clip that is on that frame from playing?
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
          gotoAndStop(10);

That worked, it stopped the movie clip, however, the movie clip still shows on other frames. How do I modify the code to not only stop the movie clip but to make it disappear on the other frames?
Thanks!
btn_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame);
function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame(event:MouseEvent):void
          movieClipInstanceName.stop();
          gotoAndStop(10);

FCPX starting a clip black with audio playing and fade in video from black

Hello FCPers, I recently have made the leap from FCP7 to X. I have not gotten used to the lack of rubber bands on clips vid and audio in the timeline. So how would you:
Start a clip with video black, audio fades in from silence, then fade in the video over the running audio all in the same clip?
The hard way was to cut the clip up, separate video and audio and use the video animator on the first video chunk, then fade in the 2nd chunk manually. Ahhh, if I could only option-T a keyframe diamond on that line.
Everything else is going without a hitch. Let me know what you think.

CControl-V to open video animation and ramp the opacity with the fade handle.
I Prefer to put a gap clip in front of the video. Expand the audio then roll the gap clip on top of it to trim the video. Cross dissolve to the video to fade it up.

10 frames replay when scrolling starts

Hello,
Can't figure what is happening. When I insert a scrolling track - precisely at that point - the video jogs back 10 frames and those frames are repeated. The jerking effect is painfully visible when I play the sequence back. Nothing I've tried seems to have any effect. I've deleted and reinserted the clip many times. I've even tried cutting out the extra 10 frames and closing the "gap", but when I do the 10 frame duplication just appears at another spot. On the video track, when I'm at the scrolling cut, I get the yellow right-angle symbol at bottom right on the last full frame of the continuous video. The next frame after the 10 frame jog back has that little yellow right-angle on bottom left - if that's of any help.
Any clues what's going on? Any suggestions for a work around?
Thanks.
John

Michael,
Thanks for the reply. But before I try what you've suggested here is the letter I was in the midst of writing a few hours ago before I was called out of the house. It may add a different complexion to my problem.....
Actually thinking on it more, I'm wondering if this phenomena I'm seeing doesn't relate to something else unusual I noticed in this project.
Some weeks back I noticed something unusual about the way a certain cut played in the Timeline/Canvas. I had carefully cut one shot so that it would end on a closing door, mid-frame. The position of that door in that frame would land on a desk in the next shot. But when I'd play these two shots together in the sequence, I'd notice the edge of the closing door would go far past the desk on the next shot it was supposed to draw the eye's attention to.
What was happening? Why was the Timeline sequence playing frames past the cut on my clip? I checked the clip, and the out point was exactly where I wanted it to be. And when I looked at the clip in the Timeline it ended at the right point. Yet, when I played the sequence I'd get these – well I realize now – ten extra frames.
I'd found my solution – well at least a temporary one - to this problem. I went back to my clip, pushed the out point back ten frames, and the result on playback was as I wanted. I know this wasn't a real solution. For how, I wondered, would the sequence/film play when I exported it? Would it be true to the actual clip/Timeline cut, or would it play as it has been with those extra frames added? It was a problem I knew I was going to have to face and fully solve later.
Guess now is later, for it seems to me that this is exactly the phenomena I'm experiencing at the moment when the scrolling text enters. Only here I don't have the chance of my earlier “work-around”. In that instance I was dealing with the end of a clip so I could make the adjustments I've described. In the case of the superimposed scrolling clip the “phenomena”, the “jog”, the “stutter” is happening in the middle of a clip.
So I guess, as I'm seeing it now, the problem of the scrolling text is really the same as I've described above. Right now I'd suspect it's just another example of cutting two shots together where for some reason the second shot is “requiring” an extra ten frames of the last shot/clip to play.
Wow! Got me baffled. This got anything to do with Handles? Got anything to do with ProRes 422 (HQ)? I've never edited in that compression format before and must admit in many years editing in FC have never knowingly experienced this “lag” phenomena.
Weird! But it is something I have to figure out, if not just for the sake of saving the clip in discussion, but also to make sure that in the end of it all I won't be exporting a project where every cut will be adding ten frames to the cut before it.

Frozen frame at the end of every clip

Without transitions, there is a frozen frame at the end of every clip that can be very distracting. Is there a way to disable this? I've been putting transitions in, which works, but I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks,
Elsa

Thank you very much! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. This ended up working! It ***** that I have to add this extra step, but I'm glad there is a work around. Thanks again for you help.

Why can't the Pan & Zoom Tool start with the whole frame using photos

I've used the pan and zoom animation in Microsoft Movie Maker - and want that same ease of use in any other program (I find it doesn't do a great job of soundtrack and text/image placement) see menu options below.... I Purchased Premiere Elements after watching a short video of the pan & zoom tool - however now that I am trying to use it it falls way short.
Is there a way to allow me to select the whole photo as the starting frame -- in the screenshot below the frame 1 will not extend to the whole photo so I start off with a cropped image. I want the full Frame of the photo and then be able to zoom and pan in toward faces - while I can still do this with the cropped frame I loose a good deal of my photo and the context it provides.
The Microsoft Movie Maker options - very easy | Limitation of Premiere Elements 13 to start with the full photo frame

Hi,
You might like to ask that question in the Premiere Elements forum
Premiere Elements
It looks to me as though the aspect ration of the photo and the video frame are different and therefore something has to be cropped off.
But I could be wrong

Non Drop frame capture causing out of sync clip?

Hi, All,
I've been having trouble with sync issues on an hour long tape capture.
The material was captured from a Canon consumer DV cam (z80) using firewire into my powerbook g4. (The material on the dv tape was originally recorded in Video 8mm and transfered to the Canon via firewire from a modern Sony Digital 8 camera.)
The sync on the DV tape looks fine when I play it back through the Canon camera. So I'm guessing that I might be losing sync because the camera is dropping frames that don't want to be dropped. I tried to change the video capture settings to non drop frame (in the device control tab of FCP5's audio video settings preference window,) but as soon as I start the capture from the canon, the settings on my log capture window automatically revert back to drop frame. (I don't know this for a fact, but I do notice that the ":" in the timecode box turns back to ";" every time I start the capture.
Does this sound like it is, in fact, a drop frame problem? And if so, is there any hope of getting a canon consumer camcorder to capture at non drop frame rates?

Well, after trying most of the suggestions here, I did find a reasonably hassle free workaround to capturing the hour and fifteen minute footage of 8 bit 32 kHz video to FCP with minimal sync slippage over the length of the footage.
I finally gave up on capturing the material in FCP and instead hooked the canon z80 up to an old version of Toast Platinum 6 I had on my computer. Toast creates a raw quicktime movie file with the extension .dv. Toast then allows you to edit that quicktime file, add chapters, button pictures, etc. thereby making a new file to replace the raw QT it first created. After some experimentation, I discovered that the original raw QT file Toast creates can simply be dragged intact to the FCP browser window, where it becomes a clip with minimal sync problems. I would caution against trying to use the second improved QT file that Toast creates after you've edited your file, as this second QT movie seems less stable than the raw one it first creates.
A final caveat for Toast users. Make sure you set the preferences so that they don't DELETE the original file it creates. There are settings that will tell Toast to do just that either After a Day, After a Week, When You Close the Program or Never. I'd set that to Never, since it can be highly unpleasant to discover that your program has deleted the very file you were planning to work with.
Hope this is of some help.
Thanks to all who pitched in and offered suggestions. Your help has been invaluable!
I now mark this issue Solved. Or at least as Solved as I plan to get it!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Timeline automatically zooms in when moving clips around

This is an issue that keeps happening. It has been an ongoing problem with Premiere Pro CC and now 2014.1. It would start after working for a while on a project and become more frequent as the project gets larger. The only way to rectify the problem is restarting the computer. I would be working and I go to drag a clip around on the timeline and the timeline will automatically zoom in and thus place the clip in the wrong location. This happens when I am not holding down any keys. It will continue to zoom in every time I move any clips on the timeline and once it starts it happens on all sequences. While restarting the computer seems to help I have to do that 5 or more times in a day which can be very frustrating. It doesn't seem to be related to any OS, computer, hard drive/storage. Deleting preview files, flushing PRAM, trashing preferences doesn't help either. I usually work with Quicktime files AppleProRes Codec or H.264. Any help or insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a video that demonstrates the bug:
Premiere Pro Version: Every version from 7.0.0 to 8.1
OS Version: Every version of Mavricks and Yosemite including version 10.10.1
The footage I most use is H.264 and ProRes 422
The problem occurs randomly throughout the day, nothing seems to trigger it. When it starts the only way to make it stop is to restart the computer
Other software running at this particular time is” Mail, Evernote, Safari, OmniFocus, On The Job, Text Expander, Messages, Preview
No third-party effects or codecs installed.
Hardware:
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon 5

Hi Patrick,
Sorry, I've never seen that. What happens if you do not run any other software launched as you work? If you have time, please file a bug report: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug

Best aproach to zoom in on a clip

What would be the best apporach to zoom on a certain area on a clip? Is there a plugin to do this automaticaly?

There is no need for a plug-in. Each Video Clip automatically has several fixed Effects applied to them. First, Select your Clip, and then click on the Effects tab, choosing Edit Effects (lower-left of that Panel). This will get you to the Effects Control Panel. Look for Motion, and there you will choose Scale to Zoom. You might also want to Pan, and that would be done with Motion>Position.
One can adjust these Effects to be static for the entire Clip, or they can be Keyframed to change over time. To start the Keyframing, you need to toggle ON Animation with the little "stopwatch" icon.
Good luck,
Hunt
