Frame Animation duration is different when I render out.

Hi, everyone. I am using Photoshop CS6 to make Frame animation. I created 57 frame with each duration 0.08 second was set.
However when I render out, the video seem much quicker than I preview in PS (H.264 1080p 29.97).
Then I check the duration of the video, it's only 3.24second long, by doing the math (57 * 0.08s) it should be 4.56s long.
I've check all my fps setting, I've tried render out 24fps , 29.97 fps or 30 fps, all go for the result of shorten length.
Can anyone help out ? thankyou.

Then I check the duration of the video, it's only 3.24second long, by doing the math (57 * 0.08s) it should be 4.56s long.
But then again, 1s divided by 29.97 is not 0.08s, is it not? If you want to obsess about math, then by all means do it right. You have a fundamental misunderstanding here and are not working to spec.

HELP! My After Effects project is complete, but when I render out and playback the video is a lot faster then the original playback.

I have finished my After Effects project. The project includes a lot of text and fade ins and outs and looks perfect in the playback. But once I render and playback with Quicktime the video does not look the same. The animations are very jumpy. Please help!
Thanks,

Hey David,
Also, my AE comp is 29.97, but i have four other comps in that one and they're 23.97 fps.
It seems like that would be the likely culprit. Is there a specific reason those comps (which are, I assume, nested inside the 29.97 one?) are 23.976? Do they contain 23.976fps footage? Mixing of comps, video and different frame rates can often cause juddery playback after rendering, as the interpolation of the frame rates to the master render frame rate happens without any interaction on the user's part. But AE gives many different options (and techniques, everyone has their own) to assist with getting the frame rates and speeds more aligned so the final frame rate is perfect for them all. It takes a little planning, that's all.
Let me know, I'll be glad to help if this is the issue.

Strange audio issue when running render queue via script.

The issue I'm having with AE is odd, and I'm hoping someone may be able to shed light on the matter. I have a very simple composition that, when I render out using the GUI, everything works as expected. The video renders fine, the audio renders fine, etc. However, when I invoke a script that runs the .aep file, sets the render queue for the composition in question, and then renders it, only the video comes through, but no audio. There is nothing in my script prior to the setting up of the render queue that alters any audio layers (i.e. no code shutting off audio, etc.) Has anybody ever encountered this? The audio file is a .wav in 44.1KHz, 16bit, stereo, and will try other formats to see if the problem might with the file itself? Although, I don't see how that would be the case if it is rendering just fine via the GUI.
Any help you can offer for troubleshooting would be great! Thanks for your help and time!

Thanks for your suggestion. It wasn't the output module. I created a custom template for it and ensured the audio was checked. It was an odd fix. I deleted the audio layer, then dragged it back to the timline. Then, it worked. Cost me like two hours of work for that, and I should have checked it earlier. But I still don't know why the original wasn't working.

Render out to QT problems

Hi
Shot/editing a seq in HDV 1080i 60, all my MOTION files are the same, looks good in timeline...my render control codec is Apple Pro RES 422...now when I render out the QT movie with the current settings I get this horrible double image on all movements of my FCP keyframed GFX (such as a box moving from left to right and bouncing as it hits the edges of the screen, etc), I guess this is interlacing problem, all my MOTION files have the same issue...
SO, how to eliminate this problem? Have a look at the images...
http://web.mac.com/kbcv/VideoWork/test.html
Thanks
k

Thanks Jerry
The box GFX is just a jpeg moving using FCP keyframing and the text which I did in MOTION is same seq settings as FCP seq. So there's no way to change just the GFX field dom, and my seq is upper field both FCP and Motion. I captured HDV and am using HDV seq settings, outputting same settings - should I next time capture my HDV footage at Pro RES and set my seq to Pr Res as well? Would this fix the problem?
In the meantime, what to do re: this bad look.

Render out square pixels?

When I render out of After Effects CC 2014, I ask for
640X480 apple 422 square pixels (current settings)
I get
Pixel aspect NTSC - CCIR
But I WANT
pixel aspect square
When I render out of FCP7 using Compressor, I can get all of the above WITH SQUARE pixels.
I import a Compressor rendered clip into an FCP7 sequence with settings as above, and no render within fcp is necessary, and the Properties shows pixel-aspect Square
I import an AE (with effects added to that SAME clip) rendered out with CURRENT settings into that SAME sequence and render IS necessary and Properties shows NTSC-CCIR
Any way to render out with square pixels? I understand default in AE is square, so...
What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I've been advised that 640 X 480 deinterlaced 422HQ Sq. is the best format for me to project from my laptop at a special screening. It really looks beautiful.
But that's not my question.
I'm asking why Compressor will give me that format and that apparently AE won't.
I'm using the a clip from the CORRECTLY formatted footage. I bring it into AE in order to add an effect. But when I render it out at CURRENT SETTINGS I get NTSC - CCIR not square.
Question, how can I add an effect in AE without destroying the existing formatting of my clip?

Win7-64 Photoshop CC blank Save As dialog, then crash, when working with video / frame animations

Hi, I recently updated to CC from CS6 and am having issues when working with PSDs containing video layers, or are set up as frame animations: When attempting to Save As, the dialog will be completely blank except for the Save and Cancel buttons.   If I press cancel, then return to Save As, CC then often crashes.
Here is the Error Event from Event Viewer:

So far I am only having these issues if I have been working with video layers and then frame animations. Frame animations in particular seem to cause instability as I can often work with video layers all day without a problem. Then if I import video frames to layers, or open a PSD containing a frame animation, the Save As may not necessarily work.
Sometimes closing and restarting Photoshop will allow me to save again, but then sometimes a whole system reboot is required. It is only temporary though.
I am not running antivirus software or other apps aside from what starts at boot.

Frustrating that this thread has petered out, since I'm having the exact same issue. Did you ever find a way to improved stability?
Also of note, the issue followed me across machines. Two weeks ago I purchased a new machine, figured if that didn't solve the problem nothing would... It didn't. :\
The only similar factors are that the machines both are 64bit Windows 7 (a fresh OEM install on the new box) and have nVidia-brand graphics cards. (Again, though - not the SAME graphics card, picked up a new one with the new machine.) No drive cloning was involved: this is completely new hardware, a fresh factory install of Windows 7, different antivirus (went from AVG to Avast), and new download of Photoshop CC from CreativeCloud.
Looks like our event details are quite similar, too.

Keying and Rendering in Premiere Pro - Why does it cut the frame in half when I render?

I am keying a clip in Adobe Premiere and layering it over another clip. Looks great when I play back in the timelime but for some reason when I render the clip the bottom half of the frame goes missing as if I have cropped it out. If I then edit the clip in any way it comes back but of course,it's then un-rendered. I can't figure out why this happens. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!

Exactly what version of PPro do you have?
CC7.2 has a bug that sounds like what you're reporting. It was fixed in 7.2.1.
If you're on PPRO 7.2.1--and you're seeing this problem in clips encoded by AME--then try disabling the option "Enable native Premiere Pro sequence import" on the General tab of AME's preferences dialog. I don't know for a fact that this will resolve the problem, but it's a pretty good bet.

When I test my animation it runs differently from when I drag the timline

When I test my animation it runs differently from when I drag
the timline.
I have a mask with text under it and I reveal the text from
left to right with a rectangular mask. I then squish and then
desquish the test. In the movie it does none of this.

Select the text field on the stage and in the properties
panel at the bottom of the screen you will see a small drop down
menu which will be displaying either static, input or dynamic. Just
change it to static OR if you NEED to use dynamic text then you
need to embed yopur font so select the text field and select embed
from the properties panel, then select the oprion you need from
there.
Hope this helps
Thanks Alan

When I render my video I get a black bar on the left side of the screen

I just upgraded to FCS 2 and so far it's been a complete waste of money. I'm having nothing but problems with FCP, Compressor, and QMaster. I will just post my FCP problem here.
I've edited a weekly video podcast and everything looks great, until I render it and export it. When I render it, I get a constant, solid black bar on the far left of the video that takes up about 5% of the screen. My layers are definitely sized correctly to fill up the entire canvas, and they are all centered. I cannot figure out why I am getting this black bar or how to get rid of it without ditching the upgrade and going back to FCP5.1.
I have already tried completely uninstalling the FCS suite and reinstalling. No luck. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

Different resolution in render than in scene Premier and Ae

Hello,
Got this weird problem..
My scene size is 2568x 768 px (yes its weird reso, we use pandoras box to map different sections of this resolution)
and when i render it out with premier the reso is only 1920 x 592?
What could be wrong with my rendering settings? Have double checed it many times.
Same kind of trouble with Ae, but when render it out there is those black blocks witch takes certain area of my reso?
P.s. I am new with Premier, why cant i change frame (scene) resolutions during editing? Is there some purpose?
In Ae its easy, just from comp settings..
Thanks,
Kalle

The answer to the question "Why" is pretty simple. We used to spend hours and hours helping people who had fouled up their sequence settings.
It is much easier to tell them to drop the video on the "New Item" button. That creates a sequence of exactly the right size.
In your case, you should drop one video on the new item button, delete it of of the timeline, then copy and paste everything on that new timeline as suggested by Joe in Post #1.
I just tried creating a sequence wth the settings of 2568X768 using 29.97 and square pixels. I started creating the sequence by using the standard DSLR 1080p30 preset, then I went into the Settings tab and changed the frame size.
I then put a large still on the timeline and exported it. Once again, I started with the YouTube 1080p settings for 29.97 and then changed the frame size. I had to unlock the link between the Height and Width to get the ratio I wanted, and to do that I had to increase the Profile to high, which messed with my frame rate, so I had to change the frame rate back to 29.97.
The export came out at exactly the right size. Note: Do not use the render files. They will just get you into trouble.

Photoshop CC 2014 freezes when I render video

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 trial to do short frame animations. The problem is that when I try to export (export -> render video) Photoshop freezes completely and I have to force quit. My computer also restarted by itself one time. Someone is experiencing the same problem?
Thanks
Angelica.

I am using Photoshop CC 64 bit on a Windows 8.1 machine (I7-3820, 32 gig RAM) and am constantly getting problems rendering videos.
i) click on render video and just get spinning wheel
II)click on render video progress bar opens gets 90% of way then hangs.
III) click on render video and video render window opens, set parameters, click go and spinning wheel
iv)click on render video and video render window opens, set parameters, click go and success
All this with exactly the same original and edits.
I have looked at what is happening in Task Manager and consistently in cases i to iii Photoshop is using about 12% of CPU but importantly is using only one of the 8 processors (4 real, 4 hyper) available. When it is rendering properly (case iv) all 8 cores are in use. This indicates to me that the program is locked in an endless loop of some sort, the only way out is to kill the Photoshop process.
My work round is to do all my edits, save everything then keep attempting to render until I get success.

Missing Create Frame Animation option

I want to create an animation, but have always been missing the "create frame animation" option from the timeline panel .
Would appreciate any help. Please note that I am not a pro at photoshop!

When I play the animation it just shows the same image throughout the entire sequence eventhough there is a different image on each layer.

Can't convert timeline to frame animation

Whenever I try to upload a video clip, it only shows in timeline format and when I try to convert it to frame animation, it says "The video will not play back in frame animation." Help, please

I do not do video but have an idea if the video segments you want to make a frame animation is less then 500 frames. If larger split it into 500 frame segments and render the segments to video files. Then use menu File>Import>Video Frames to Layers.
That way you can get the frames. Converting video to frame animation seems to create a single frame for each video segment...

Frame delay set in frame animation changes after conversion to video timeline?

hi everyone, i'm running photoshop cc on windows 7.
i was trying to make a gif today and went about it the way i usually do - import video frames to layers (1 layer/frame of video), cut out the frames i don't want, then convert from frame animation to video timeline in order to apply filters. in this particular project i had set all frames to a delay of .04s, but when i converted to video timeline the gif seemed to run faster than it had in frame animation. i converted back to frame animation, and for some reason the delay had been changed to .03s - which i'm assuming accounts for the increase in gif speed. i tried inputting different values for frame delay, but they seem to all round to either .03s, .07s, or one of the preset values that appear when you click the dropdown box.
this has never happened to me before. in fact i opened a gif i made recently that had a delay of .05s and once opened the delay had been changed to .07s - noticeably slower than the original gif (which i had opened in IE to compare). i have restarted pscc multiple times to no avail. in fact i just noticed that the "make frames from layers" tool is malfunctioning as well, instead of making one frame per layer, the frames are either blank or they all show the top layer.
is this something that has happened to anyone else? if so, how to fix it? it's very frustrating because i need to be able to convert to video timeline for filters and to add text, which i can't do in frame animation.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I'm having this exact issue. I notice that the frame delay only stays the same if I set it to .1, but all other delays are changed to .03 or .07. It's a pain because I have to open every saved gif & change it to the correct time delay. It's so time consuming.

Particles (flame) bug? Export render differs from preview render.

I've added a particle emitter (Pyro -> Flame) to my movie. It all looks fine in the Preview window. But when I render (export) the final movie the flame comes out differently. Some frames contain large grey parts that seem to appear out of nowhere. Here some frames from my video. The upper part is the view in Motion's Preview window, the lower part is how it is rendered.
I've tried exporting to several output formats, including the lossless ProRes formats. I also used several rendering settings, both in the Export dialog and the upper-right Preview window settings menu. Nothing solves this problem.
Does anybody know how to fix this? Motion isn't very usable this way. I'm using Motion 5.2 on Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MBP 13 Retina, late 2013.

Hello all and thanks for the tips. I really appreciate your help. After having it work sometimes and sometimes not, I definitely checked most everything you all mentioned. I really thought the answer shouuld have been in the areas you all pointed to... but I got lucky and found it somewhere else... maybe this was a newbie thing, but I'm willing to swallow my pride and cough it up...
My file was created from following Creative Cow's "reflection" tutorial step by step... in the tutorial, you "pre-compose" your text layer and create another layer below it. This other layer becomes your reflection.
Here's what was happening:
When I export to .swf, if I am viewing the pre-composed layers in the "comp" viewing area, I will get the red hue around stuff during the render, but not in the preview. If I switch from the pre-composed layers, back to the main layers, and view the main "comp" at the highest level and then render, I get a perfect render... make sense? perhaps it was human error... I just felt that the render would always look like what you are previewing. Make sure you render from the main layers and not while still looking at a pre-composed layer...
thanks again all!
