Frame by Frame editing of Video in PSE

Hi and good morning and Happy New Year to all @ Adobe Support,
I have had more versions of Adobe PSE than I really like to think about, not to mention other various Adobe products.
To go directly to my question, I had thought that I had used PSE to edit frame by frame videos ?
Have I gone bonkers ? I just purchased PSE and PE to make sure I could edit a few short videos that I wanted to draw in simple things like lines, drops, arrows, etc. Now it seems I have two products that both can't accomplish this and apparently I cannot get a straight answer to what I should have on your site or in the forum or anywhere else, for that fact. I'm hoping you are not going to tell me I need a 500 dollar program to do this ! I only have a dozen videos I would like to paint or draw in and the last time I needed this was 1992 or there abouts. I am a Mac user and currently have 10.9.1 installed. Just for your information the installation went of without a hitch for both products on Mavericks and appear to be working fine, aside from the fact I can't frame edit videos in either one.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter,
Wade Arnold

The most recent version of PSE removed the ability to import a frame from a video file. I suspect this is what you were thinking of.
However I assume by 'PE' you mean Premiere Elements (PRE), the video editor. You can still export a clip from PRE as a sequence of still images that you can then edit in PSE and reimport back to PRE. This is in Publish+Share> Computer> Image> Advanced, check 'Export as sequence'.
However from your description you might be better off using the tools in Titler within PRE to draw your lines and arrows - this is way simpler than doing so frame by frame in PSE.
Cheers,
Neale

How to edit videos frame-by-frame and export in H264?

I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
Thanks for any ideas

I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond.
Am a bit confused by what you say. iMovie and QT 7 Pro are both "frame" level editors. However, some forms of editing are, by their very nature, applied over a range of frames which may be a part of your problem. In addition, since "normal" movies have frames which are spaced apart in the 16 to 42 ms range, your requirement to be able to edit to the nearest millisecond would seem unreasonable and would probably be unsupported for playback purposes without skipping 90+ percent of the frames on most platforms.
And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
All of the "Share" and/or "Export" options (except Final Cut XML...) either default to H.264 or allow export to H.264 (or X264 if installed) video compression.

Difficult to say since you have not given any indication as to what you mean by "editing" here. You could, for instance, edit normal movie clips in a normal manner and then use an application like the JES Deinterlacer to change the playback time reference to achieve an effective 1 millisecond/frame playback rate you seem to want to target even though your platform cannot play every frame during playback.

iMovie exports in h.264 by default. All the presets are h.264 (except Tiny).
If you need to adjust the h.264 in some way, then SHARE.EXPORT USING QUICKTIME.
To edit to the nearest frame, Go to iMovie/Preferences and select Display Time Codes.

Frames Dropping when Editing back to tape

I just updated my Final Cut Studio to 5.1.4. I am running this program on 2.0 GHz G5 Power Mac. I have fibre from the G5 to the server. I am trying to Edit to tape and this edit stop because it had dropped one or more frames. I am at OS 10.4.9
The error message:
Aborted ETT/PTV – Dropped Frames
Because one or more frames dropped during Edit To Tape or Print To Video, this operation was aborted.
If this occurs frequently, try
- Turning off Unlimited RT
- Lowering your compression data rate.
- Closing open sequences.
- Lowering the preferences for real-time audio tracks.
- Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection.
RT Extreme has determined these dropped frames were caused by slow disk. Please try:
- Increasing to speed of your disks
- Decreasing the number of RT lies.
- Limiting your RT bandwidth in User Preferences.
I tried all the fixes stated above and the problem is not fixed.
Please Help
Thanks

Check the settings playback settings in the Timeline window to make sure they are all set to be high quality... sounds like the playback/render quality doesn't match the recording quality so when you ask to edit to tape, it is attempting a total re render.

Editing Frame by Frame

I'm trying to find a turorial on how to edit an object out frame by frame. I know I can clone it out, but doing so creates a heat wave effect in the area since it's different per frame. Also, how do I click through every single frame to make sure I get them all?
Here's what I got. I have a video where as soon as a character moves out of the way, a light stand is seen. I simple want to remove the light stand as he moves.
One way I tried was to create an image where I completely removed the stand when the character is completely out of the way. Then paint out that image frame by frame around the character. So when he's there, the image is painted out. But as he moves, I start painting it in, frame by frame.
But I can't seem to edit the image layer frame by frame. It remains the same on all frames. If I erase an area, it's on all the frames instead of the one.
I tried pasting the image in a blank video layer, but it only stayed in one frame.
How am I suppose to do this job in photoshop?

Welcome to the forum.
Am I correct that you are trying to edit Video, at a Frame by Frame level? If so, what you are talking about is Rotoscoping, and can be effective, albeit tedious.
Now, when removing an obect, the Clone Stamp is a good place to start, but one must be careful, and go slowly. The Healing Tools can be very useful too, and is often used in conjunction with the Clone Stamp.
Now, if you are NOT doing Rotoscoping, please let us know a bit more about what you are attempting to do.

Video Frame by Frame in PS3 Extended

Ive just purchased PS Extended mainly to adjust video frames
My question is once a video movie is imported can you tab along the timeline frame by frame with the keyboard rather than slowly dragging the cursor along the timeline.
Any help appreciated

You can set a keyboard short cut for the palette menu items for moving between frames in Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts.

Identifying Exact Frame to Begin Edit?

I am editing a segment of video where someone shouts something in the background. I would like to razor the beginning and ending point where this occurs. I am going through this segment frame-by-frame, trying to identify the exact location of the person shouting, though it is difficult. What is the best way to handle this??
Thanks.

cmdoptw will turn on those waveforms in the timeline.
Audio scrubbing will play the audio frame by frame... it's in the view menu. check it on so you can hear each frame as you step through the audio.

Advance frame-by-frame on a streaming video

Hi,
i've recently installed Wowza media server 2 locally, currently only for testing purposes.
everything works fine, except of accurate seeking functionality - or in other words advancing frame-by-frame .
when i use VLC to play my video file i have no problems advancing frame-by-frame. however, when i use the 'seek()' function to move the playhead a fraction of a second, its seems to move only to the next key frame (meaning that only once every few mouse clicks the playhead advances dramatically).
i thought that when using streaming video (unlike progressive download) this issue is resolved. am i wrong? did i miss something?
thanks in advance,
eRez

II think you should post your query on Wowza forums - because this forum is for Flash Media Server and probably not best place where you can find Wowza server experts.

Option of viewing a video frame by frame

Hi,
I wanted to view a video frame by frame using JMF ( I wanted to include an option for the user either to view it frame by frame wherever necessary or just play it normally). I have seen programs in this forum for extracting the frame images of the video and saving them. But I just wanted to view them frame by frame while the video plays. When I run the program FrameAccess.java, I can see the status bar of the video moving but I cannot see the video or frames ( I just get a pink color frame). What should I do?

Video frame by frame?

Since we're now being shoe-horned into using iTunes to play any and all purchased content (as opposed to the old, functional way of being able to use QuickTime Player), can anyone tell me how to advance video frame by frame (one frame at a time) in iTunes? The arrow keys don't do it, none of the "forward/reverse" buttons work, and using the mouse wheel freezes the video and jumps ahead or back several *minutes* at a time, not frame by frame.
Or is this another wonderful "feature" of iTunes 11 that I should "thank" Apple for showering down on us humble users?

Oops -- forgot to mention: this is on Snow Leopard (10.6.8).

Why can't I advance a video frame-by-frame with the arrow keys?

I am able to play a video, and to scrub through by clicking and dragging the play head, but when the video is paused, my arrow keys won't advance frame-by-frame. Is there a place that I have to enable the arrow key function? I've looked through the Preferences but didn't see anything. Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!!

Acheiving frame by frame in videos.

Hi all, I'm trying to achieve true frame by frame but have
run into some problems.
To do this I have been changing the VideoDisplay and
VideoPlayer classes. This is an AIR app set to 99 fps, and I'm
getting an actual framerate of around 88. I have encoded videos
into flv's using Flash CS3 Video Encoder being sure to set
keyframes to every frame and have varied the framerate from 10 to
30 and the video data rate too.
When going frame by frame I have the video in a paused state.
On click of a button the video will seek to the next keyframe
(which should be the next actual frame). As an example, using this
method I can only actually get an average of 19 frames in a second
for a video encoded at 24 fps when the data rate is 2K kbs (data
rates higher or lower will only allow me to get as low as 10 frames
in a second). The video metadata confirms that the video is 24fps.
I also tried a play/pause method where I perform a check
every time the enterFrame event is dispatched by the videoPlayer (I
get more frequent updates from this than setting the
playheadUpdateInterval value really low) and pause if the playhead
has advanced. My event handler gets called about 88 times a second,
consistent with the framerate. With a 24fps video, we would expect
the playheadTime of the video (which is == ns.time of the NetStream
object) increase by intervals of 1000/24 = 41.667 milliseconds. But
when I play the video and store all the playheadTime values in an
array, I see it sometimes goes up by 14 ms, or 52ms to name a
couple (and still get about 19 frames in a second).
Interestingly, the playheadTimes are not always consistent.
On one run I saw the playheadTime go from 9.9s, to 9.978, 10.109,
to 10.135. Another time the playheadTime went from 9.9s to 10.057,
10.109, 10.135. So we gained a frame at 10.057 but the one at 9.978
was not "found". After a few more runs I saw that the playhead also
reached 9.952s, and 10.031s. So consider: 9.900, 9.952, 9.978,
10.031, 10.057, 10.109, 10.135. This range has playhead increments
of 52ms, 26ms, 53ms, 26ms, 52ms, 26ms.
So the playhead increments are not consistent. That's fine.
But the playheadTime times themselves do not always exist, or the
Video.as class is not reading the .flv file consistently, or the
NetStream class is not updating the time property correctly,
or.....? Unfortunately Video.as is an intrinsic Flash class and I
don't have access to it, nor do I have access to NetStream.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or see something I missed?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I've kind of
burned out on getting this to work. Thanks.

Yes I would like to be able to do this again. Can itunes use Quicktime 7 as its video player?
