Frame Hold Corrupts Image

Hi,
Whenever I use "Frame Hold" on a clip in CS3, the frame image gets corrupted. Turn frame hold off, and the image goes back to normal. Really weird. This used to work fine for me in PP 1.5. Makes "Frame Hold" essentially useless. Tried in different projects and on different computers and consistently get the same thing.
Anybody else have this problem? Is this a known bug?
Cheers,
Veronica

> even though the project is progressive and all the footage is progressive
But this is really only the tip of the iceberg.
The project settings apparently do not matter. The problem is that Premiere makes some very silly assumptions (with no way to override them) about which sources are interlaced and which are progressive.
Along with frame holds, there are also issues with (certain?) effects and choosing TFF/BFF/progressive in the export dialog options. Here are some examples:
In a 720x480 interlaced project, applying effects to a video clip and then choosing a progressive output format will deinterlace your footage -- whether "deinterlace footage" is checked or not, and regardless of whether your footage was progressive to begin with.
In a 720x480 progressive project, applying effects to a video clip will cause instant deinterlacing: with no regard to output settings or whether the clip is progressive.

Frame Hold feature doesn't work in PE8

In one of my video clips, I want to freeze a frame in the middle, and then have that frame frozen until the end of the clip. The Frame Hold feature is supposed to accomplish this. However, I can't get it to work in Windows 7. Here are the steps I've taken, which is right out of the PDF manual for PE8:
(1)     I open up a clip in the Preview Monitor.
(2)     I position the CTI where the frame is to be held, then I mark it with Marker 0 (zero).
(3)     I exit the Preview Monitor.
(4)     I select the video clip, go to Clip, Video Options, Frame Hold. I check "Hold on," and specify Marker 0 (zero).
But when I play the clip back, all of it is completely frozen -- before the zero marker and after the zero marker. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but this didn't help. I have 4 gigs of memory, and a 500+ gig hard drive. My video drivers are current and up-to-date. Does anyone have any clues as to why I'm not able to get the Frame Hold feature to work?

This is an old thread, but I have a related question.
First, what exactly is "Frame Hold" in PrE12? If I search the PDF Manual (AKA "Tutorial"), there are zero occurrences.
I gather from the above that it's supposed to allow the user to designate one or more frames at one or more points in the clip that will stop the action for a designated period of time.
I have been accomplishing the same effect with the Freeze Frame function, which inserts a BMP image in the clip. (It also allows the bmp to be saved to a folder on the computer.) I don't like this because the insertion chops up the audio and sound tracks, creating gaps that are hard to fix later. (See one of my other posts for more details on this.)
So the Frame Hold option intrigues me with the hope that it would be less disruptive to the work flow.
The other point of interest comes from Bill Hunt's comment above:
"In PrE, there is a little "camera" icon, that produces a still image from the Video. Select the Frame (last Frame in this example), and output a still image. Cannot recall the exact choices in PrE 8, but I think that they are BMP, or TIFF."
The Freeze Frame in PrE12 only allows BMP; I would love to have a TIFF option, and I'm hoping that Frame Hold might allow it. (I thought could export a still image as TIFF, but I find that JPEG is the only option, and in any case that is time-wasting if you have a lot of frames to capture.)
Yet another question: PrE has no little camera icon that I can find. One has to go to Tools > Freeze Frame (or use a shortcut key, which I do). Then the choice is either Export as BMP or Insert in video. (If you want to do both, choose Export first, since Insert will close the dialog box and you will have to start over to do the Export.) Has the camera icon (which had the obvious advantage of being simple, quick and intuitive) been replaced?
Bottom line: does Frame Hold (supposedly) accomplish the same as Insert Freeze Frame, without the disruption of other tracks? If so (or even if not), how? I have futzed around with it for quite some time and have no idea of how it is supposed to function. I have tried setting inpoint, outpoint, marker zero, etc. and no matter what I do, the video keeps on rolling right through that point when I get there.
It's frustrating to have a feature that is not searchable in the "Manual" and doesn't lend itself to trial and error discovery.

Frame Hold Problem (with pictures!)

Hi,
I'm working with Premiere Pro cc 2014 on a Mac Pro 2011 with a Radeon 5770 card and GPU acceleration.
I've been trying to do pan-and-scan and dissolves between scenes but it's been really flaky. In many scenes it just doesn't work./
Here's the top of a frame hold clip in this sequence. Play head is at the top of the scene with key frames but no effects added.
Now I've moved the play head to a later point in the scene with a drastically different set of key frame parameters and no change in the image (it should be very zoomed in):
Even after rendering it's a fail.
Sometimes if does work, but when there's a transition, the video loses its effects settings as soon as the transition begins.
I'm either doing something stupid or I've got a bug. Suggestions?

If this is for the photo albums that were transferred from your computer, under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by syncing which will remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and selecting the photos you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.
If no change after this, the next step is deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache from your computer followed by another sync.

Corrupted image shown when horizontal elasticity set to "contract"

Hello.
Using Forms and Reports 10.1.2.3.0
I have a report where I try to show images horizontally centered in their surrounding frame.
For this I created an image-item inside the frame (a repeating-frame, because the images are fetched from the DB), manually centered it inside the frame, attached it with an anchor to its surrounding frame, and set its horizontal elasticity to "contract" (vertical elasticity is set to "fixed"). This is actually the preferred method for doing this and a few threads in this forum recommend it.
What I got in the resulting PDF was a corrupted image under certain circumstances.
To narrow this down I created three different images (width*height)
1. 1000*666
2. 1000*750
3. 1000*800
loaded them into the DB, and tried to run the PDF. You can see the result in the following screenshot:
When I set the horizontal elasticity to "fixed", the image is not corrupted (this is not a solution since the image gets left-aligned then).
Setting the OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT to something different than the default (JPEG) didn't change anything.
Interestingly enough the Foxit PDF-Reader shows it correctly, while both AdobeReader X and XI and even Inkscape show the image corrupted (not only on my PC).
We tried this with several images/photos, and the only ones being shown correctly seem to be images with an aspect-ratio of 4:3 or higher. I was not able to pinpoint exactly at which ratio this behaviour manifests itself.
Anyone got an idea what may have caused this?
Thanks in advance
Markus

Addendum:
Setting the vertical elasticity to "expand" fixes it too, but since we often have images with an aspect-ratio of 3:4 or even higher I can't use this, since they would use way too much vertical space (and would negatively impact our layout).

CS6 Mini-Bridge showing corrupt image

I didn't know whether to post this in Bridge or here since Mini-Bridge is called from within CS6. I've rarely used Mini-Bridge in the past because it required Bridge to be running, so I didn't see the need. A discussion on another forum had me take a look at Mini-Bridge. It now appears to run without Bridge, though it appears to make some sort of connection to Bridge and have it run in the background. I pointed it to a folder and noticed several corrupt images. I then opened Bridge and they looked fine. I did a screenshot and the image appears corrupt in Mini-Bridge, but fine in Bridge (5.0.2), ACR (7.3), and CS6 (13.0.1). Mini-Bridge will show several of the images corrupted, while they all look fine in Bridge or any other program. I'm running Windows7.
The following screenshots show the problem. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dennis

Mini Bridge always requires Bridge to be active for showing the content of the Bridge files. If you start mini bridge in PS without having Bridge itself zctive a message should appear that you have to launch Bridge and also a launch button to do the task for you.
In Bridge first select the file that appears corrupted in MB and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this is not working first try a reset of the preferences for Photoshop ( on a Mac this is restart PS with holding down shift, option and command key, should be something similar in Windows)
This might work for MB but also resets the other PS prefs to factory default so you have to set your custom wishes again. Not a big deal but you have to be aware of this :-)
Same can be done for Bridge itself with restart Bridge and holding down control key and choose reset preferences. But if your first attempt with purge cache for selection works you can choose the menu tools in Bridge and while having the folder content of the problem files in the content panel choose cache/ purge cache for folder and let it rebuild.

Add Frame Hold lost timecode source information

I've got a huge problem with the Add Frame Hold dunction in Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 release (Also Mac or Windows)
Here is my workflow
All the footages are shot with an Arri Alexa and converted in Quicktime ProRes LT 1080p25 with timecode conservation from source (verified)
I'm editing a 4 mins music video in stop motion style. The video footage are freezed on precise pictures in Premiere with the Add frame hold function
For example : Add frame hold at 10:03:27:16 on the media source
When I play this frame hold in the timeline, with Timecode Overlay turned ON, the timecode is running...
So if I trim the IN point or OUT point of this clip to adjust the duration of the freeze frame, I lost the original timecode reference of my freeze frame !!
(In this example, I've adjusted the IN and OUT point of my freezed clip to shorten the clip). The video displayed is OK (the same image that has been frozen) but the timecode overlay is not (10:03:31:19)
The BIG problem is that this full project is going to be conformed for color grading (Assimilate Scratch) so is IMPOSSIBLE for me to relink my editing with the original ALEXA footage.
It seems to be a huge bug !
Anyone from Adobe tech has got a solution or a workaround to let met find the original timecode from each frozen shot ?
I've tried to open the project XML (unzip the prproj file the open it in a xml editor). I've found bunch of <frameholdstart> sections but the numbers does not correspond to regular timecodes or numbers of frame or whatever. Is there any way to convert theses numbers into regular timecodes ?
Please Adobe techs help me. My project is stuck into Premiere for the moment and I cannot send it to the color grading crew.
Thank you

Attempting to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 (using an ancient Mac OS 10.3), but received an error message (corrupt image file) when downloading - any way to correct this with my current OS?

I'm currently trying to update a few programs on my good old (VERY old) Mac Powerbook, but I ran into an error when downloading Firefox version 3.6...I'm currently running Mac OS X 10.3.9, which isn't compatible with the most recent versions of Firefox (or anything, for that matter), but it should still allow an upgrade of version 3.6; however, once the file finished downloading, an error message popped up indicating there's a corrupt image file. Is there any way to work around/correct this problem, or am I stuck with my old version of Firefox until I bite the bullet and upgrade my OS??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that runs on OS X 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 available from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/

How do I delete a few frames of my image from the beginning?

There are a few frames of my image in front of the first title. I don't know how to delete these frames. I want my title to start without anything in front of it.
I'm using PrE 11.
Thanks to everyone who told me about viewing a video without the Adobe Flash Player.

Tommy,
To remove a single Frame, I would zoom the Timeline to the max. Then, in that Clip, find the Frame that you wish to remove. With the CTI (Current Time Indicator at the last good Frame, hover the Cursor over that spot, until the Scissors Tool pops up (PrE 11 & 12), then click to Cut that Clip. Then, use the right arrow key, to move 1 Frame to the right, and perform the same operation, as above with the Scissors Tool. That will Cut your Clip on either side of that Frame. Rt-click on that Frame, choosing Delete & Close Gap. What version of PrE are you using? ATR, in Reply #2 covered the Scissors Tool, so there should be no difference here - other than placing the CTI on either side of that Frame.
Note: there are considerations to using that method. I assume that you also want to Delete the Video & Audio for that Frame. If they are linked, then the Scissors Tool should Cut both. If they are not linked, you will probably need to do that for both the Video & Audio. Then, if you have Video, or Audio above/below that Frame, you will not be able to automatically Close Gap. Just something to plan for.
Good luck, and hope that helps,
Hunt

Add Frame Hold not working in CC v8.1, Caravan

Premier Pro creates the freeze frame and it's visible in the timeline, but doesn't appear in the program or when rendered.
This also applies to Frame Hold actions created (successfully) in previous versions but now don't play.
Is there and on/off button I don't know about?
Thanks
JAMES

Hey KMueller - neat thinking.
Before reporting - I did try the drag / drop, then the import, then the media browser options and they all ended up the same.
Using your idea, I just straight forward made a copy / paste of the file in the folder it sits in, then dragged that over and hey presto - it came in with audio...
The icon representing the original file says video only still - but the icon representing the "copy" of the same file has a video & audio icon - and it plays ball on the timeline.
Thanks
Dave

Is there a way to edit each frame as an Image in FCP

Hello Folks,
Just wondering how can I edit each frame as an image in FCP pro... let's say my cam shoots @ 24fps and I import that to FCP, well how can I import these 24frames into a photo editing program such as PhotoShop so I edit each frame and color correct and stuff like that? Also how would I bring it back each frame to FCP?
What is this process called? Frame editing? I'm not familiar with this because I was told it is duable, i know in Adobe Premier the frames export to a folder where you can edit each image in watever program you want and bring them back to adobe.
So how can I do this in FCP?
Appreciate your great help,
Joey Dee

just for clarity:
whilst there is indeed a direct Export option, there is no direct Import option. For Export: use FCP's File > Export > Using Quicktime Conversion.. >> Image Sequence option
For Import you can first use Quicktime Player's File > Open Image Sequence... option, and export it out to the codec of the original clip/sequence using the File > Export... option. After that you can then import that clip back into FCP.
its worth noting that this is not "roundtripping", there is no invisible link between the exported frames and the master clip/sequence

Checking for corrupt image or element

Hi
Hoping someone may be able to help, I have a 256 page book which I created in InDesign CS3, the book is made up of several documents.
I need to export to a PDF, each time I try it fails as there is a corrupt image. Is there anyway I check the documents for corrupt elements before I create the PDF?
Any help appreciated.

You need to "Divide and Conquer." It's not unusual to have a failure exporting to PDF with low disk space, but that might not be your problem. In either case the first step is the same. Divide the document in half during the export process and see if each half will export separately.
If you can export both halves, you may need to live with that and simply recombine them in Acrobat. I don't recall any definitive answers for what to do fix this. Deleting temporary files may help.
If you still get a failure, divide that section in half and try again (see below). If both sections fail, it could be either a bad font or more than one bad image.
Make a copy of the document and change all the fonts to something simple and reliable, like Times New Roman, and see if that works. If it does, make a new copy of the original and eliminate fonts one by one, starting with cheap or freebie fonts from the web, and test after each replacement.
If only one section failed it's more likely an image, and you should be able to isolate the page by continuing to divide the section that fails. Once you know which page, make a copy, and remove images one by one, starting with .eps if there are any.
If you find a bad image, try resaving it and replacing with a native .ai or .psd.

Multicam Frame Hold Issue in Premiere CC 8.0.1 - When Flattening

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has been addressed before, I couldn't find an answer:
When I use frame hold for a segment in a multicam timeline, then flatten the timeline, the frame hold no longer holds the frame.
The timeline is a 720x960 23.976p P2 timeline with three cameras.
Thanks!

Me too with this one have it randomly when just opening the same project and begining to edit
had it happen about 4 times now.

Corrupted Images in Pages, now unable to open file

Pages 2.0.1 has lost the ability to open any pages documents with images on my computer. Some image files are corrupted, but other documents with no corrupted images still will not open and crash Pages if I try. Also, the Dock changed unexpectedly after the first crash, removing my Final Cut Pro icon and restoring the iLife icons. Any suggestions?

Hello Sahu,
I too had a very similiar experience with one of my clients. There is nothing to do with missing authorizations.
Ask him/her to set the resolution of their display to 1024 by 768 pixels. This is because some high display resolutions are not supported by SAP Front end. Believe me, I was amazed to discover that something like this exits.
Have a nice weekend...............

Corrupted images captured by new 5D Mark III

Hi,
I got two corrupted images while shooting with my new 5D Mark III..I was using 45mbps sandisk extreme SD card and the mode was only JPEG(fine). After getting two corrupted images I shoot 1k images but no problem there after..Later I copied those images in my HDD except two corrupted images all are looked nice.. My y question is what was the actual problem?Thank you in advance..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'd advise at least doing a quick in-camera format each time you insert a memory card (or right after downloading, if you use the USB cable to transfer your images).
The in-camera format preps the memory card for use, configuring it with some needed file structures and writing over old files.
If you ever format in computer, always re-format it in your camera before shooting. It's possible that the computer won't configure the card in a way that will work properly in the camera.
Usually corrupt images are due to card issue or connectivity when downloading. If you are seeing the corruption in the camera, then I'd first suspect the card (either it's faulty, or it's configured incorrectly, or something on there is causing a conflict).
I once corrupted a number of images on a Compact Flash by opening the memory card door and pulling the card out too quickly, while the last image or two were still being written. It corrupted about 1/3 of the images on the card, not just the last one taken. Initially all the images on the card were unreadable, until I ran a recovery program. That was able to repair about 2/3 of the images... roughly 200 out of 300 images, if I recall correctly.
The worst corruption issue I've had (in ten years shooting digital almost exclusively, nearly 20 years shooting some digital), was due to connectivity issues. I had a card reader connected to a USB hub. Took it off the hub and connected it directly to the computer's USB port and the problem was solved.
It's possible, but pretty rare that the camera itself causes occasional corrupt files. Usually if the camera starts throwing off corrupted files, it's most or all images... not just an occasional one. I'd keep an eye on it and if it continues happening, try a different memory card first. If it continues to happen with a different card, have the camera looked at.
