Frame rate grayed out

I completed my first "project" in iMovie, using pictures, transitions, music and voice-over. All of it was put together within a project in iMovie '11. Everything was working fine until I burned the DVD from iDVD, and realized it wouldn't play on my PS3 (which typically plays about everything), because it does not support "PAL" files.
So, I changed this setting within iDVD, but that didn't matter. I apparently need it changed in iMovie as well. Only, it won't let me select that in the "Project Properties" on an existing project?!?!?!
How can I change the Frame Rate without having to redo the whole project. (I tried making a duplicate in hopes that it would ask me again what the frame rate should be, but it didn't, and I tried to copy and paste, but the music/voice-over didn't follow the pictures)>
HELP!!!!!
Thanks,
April

Out of Bounds effect has all but the frames tool grayed out?

What do I do when the Out of Bounds effect has all but the frames tool grayed out?

Hi 123fay,
To use Selection tool in 'Out of Bounds' guided, you need to click on Selection Tool tab in order to select it. It will turn dark grey (symbol of selection) on selection. Now you will be able to select. Please try again and let me know if this solves the problem.

Print frames is grayed out, how can I print only one GMAIL frame ?

I would like to print the contents of a mail in gmail, and not everything around it.
Using print frames does not seem to work, it is grayed out.
Is there a solution for this ?
I read somewhere that sometimes something that looks like a frame is not really a frame.
The mail content 'frame' can be scrolled up and down, while the left (gmail info frame) and
right (adverts) remain in place.

Are you printing through Preview? When Firefox 29 was released some users noted that printing frames did not work if you were accessing Print through Preview. Instead, you had to access the Print dialog directly from the page, for example, by pressing Ctrl+p.
For better results, though, could I suggest using the print-formatted version of the message? Above the message you should find a printer icon that will pop up a cleanly formatted version of the message (by default, the new window is diverted to a new tab).

CS2: "Set Poster Frame" grayed out?

I have the CS2 version of Encore. I want to set a poster frame in a timeline. I have the desired timeline open in the timeline viewer, and displayed in the timeline monitor window. Regardless of whether I have the monitor window highlighted/active or the timeline viewer window highlighted/active, when I go to the Timeline menu at the top of the screen the choice to "Set Poster Frame" is grayed out, so I can't choose it.
Why would it be grayed out? What do I need to do in order to be able to choose it?

Is the chapter marker for which you want to set the poster frame selected?

Low frame rates under Windows 7?

Greetings Mac users! I bought Windows 7 Home Edition today with the intention of dual booting with Snow Leopard. I have a 17" Macbook Pro purchased back in May of 2008. The installation of Windows 7 went off without a hitch - as well as the installation of the BootCamp drivers. I've updated to the latest Nvidia display drivers as well.
The problem I'm having occurs when I try to play games on the machine. Using Half-Life 2 as an example, the frame rate starts out as a strong 100+ that is consistent for about two minutes. After a small period of time it will drop to around 40 - 70 fps, with noticeable video lag.
I'm aware that official BootCamp support for Windows 7 is not yet available. Is my problem related to an old set of chipset drivers that are not compatible with 7? It's very frustrating because every application besides the games run fine. I have had Windows Vista before on the same computer with no problems at all.
Thanks in advance for any advice. My apologies if this is a topic that has been addressed somewhere else in the forum - I searched around and did not find anyone with this specific problem.

Off stage content killing frame rates

Hey,
I'm working on an iPhone game using AS3 and I've got it working pretty well on the iPhone 3G. I intend to compile it with AIR 2.7 (or 3.0 when it drops), but for testing purposes, I do everything on my 3G. Here's the problem, I get a solid consistant 24fps until one of my objects moves offscreen - even partially. If my "character" even goes a few pixels past the edge, frame rates drop tp 9-10 fps. I've had a few people already suggest not allowing anything to move offscreen, but that's not feasible. I've gone through my code to make sure there isn't a programmatic reason this happens, and I've created a seperate project specifically to test this - with no game logic, simply moving an image across the screen, frame rates bottom out once content goes over the screen edge. I've tried using masks, I've tried using scrollRect, I'm using cacheAsBitmap, and there is no scaling, only x,y translation. Any help or suggestions (except for telling me to switch to Obj-C, there has to be a better answer than that) would be greatly appreciated.

hummm... I know this shouldn't make a difference, but it might be worth trying: create a bitmap that is the same size as the stage, and manually render your sprites to it via BitmapData.draw(). Actually, this should make things a bit slower, logically: but hey, Flash has its own logic sometimes..
Tip to improve the fps: you can always render some or all your assets to a bitmapData that is half the size of the screen, but whose Bitmap container is inversely scaled by a factor of 2 (stage.quality shoud be set to StageQuality.MEDIUM to take advange of bilinear sampling in CPU mode -- In GPU mode, you'll get trilinear for free, I think). Also, make sure your Bitmaps have smoothing set to true. This will radicaly improve the fps, but make your assets a bit blurry.

I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

HI All
I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

Hi abdelhady,
I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
Thank you,

Could anyone help me out here regarding frame rate?

Hi, everyone,I need help with a dynamic frame rate issue,
I have created this spinning diamond flash with a dynamic frame rate controlled by the mouse cursor.
it spins from the right to the left if the cursor is at the left side of the diamond and vice verse, and also the further away the cursor is from the middle of the diamond, the faster it spins.
it works perfectly awesome in Firefox and by itself, but when it's in IE, the cursor loses control of frame rate, so it spins at the highest frame rate regardless where the cursor is at.
I used nextFrame(), prevFrame() to do the winding and rewinding job, and frame rate gets changed in ENTER_FRAME.
I've heard some say that IE ignores frame rate per frame? is it true? if so, how do I fix it?
Could anyone please help me out with this issue?it only happens in IE.

please don't cross-post. let's keep this discussion on the general flash forum.

Frame rate option is greyed out

How do I change the frame rate from 60fps to 30fps? The frame rate option is greyed out not allowing to make the change. I am importing from FCP.

One way is to click the Plus sigm at the bottom of the Settings pane. Select New Setting and then a format category (example, QuickTime Movie) and create your custom setting with the desired frame rate.

Audio out of sync after changing frame rate

Hello
I just changed frame rate from 23.976fps to 24fps inside sequence setting, and the audio is out of sync in timeline. I can certainly manually right click mouse and choose slip into sync, but it's a tedious job. Anyone knows why and quick solution?

DVCProHD frame rate converter strips out audio?

Hi,
We are doing a capture of DVCProHD material from DVCProHD tape. They are all coming in as DVCProHD 59.94 with 23.98 flag. Unfortunately when we captured, we captured everything as DVCProHD 59.94 with no pull down.
We are hoping to remove the duplicate frames after the fact, and tried using the DVCProHD frame rate converter tool in FCP. However, upon reading and re-writing the file, we find that FCP strips out all the audio of the original file.
I am wondering if there is a way to remove the duplicated frames and at the same time maintain the audio tracks on the new 23.98 file.
Thanks!
Michael
<Edited by Moderator>

make a copy of your captured media and "conform" it in cinema tools. this will keep the audio but is destructive to the file thus you'll want to work from a copy in case you mess up. the frame rate convertor used to be used for variable speeds ie 48 over 24 for half speed thus thee audio would never sync and thus the FRC doe not process audio

Progressive frame rate

This is my first foray into HD, so my apology for this rudimentary question.
How can I tell if an HD footage is progressive or interlaced?
I have 30min worth of HDCAM. The post house that did the transfer told me that they're 1080p25 (I have no reason to doubt them). I'm just curious if there's any way I can double-check to make sure that they're 25p and not 25i.
I imported a sample clip into FCP and looked under 'Item Properties'. I only saw the following data but no mentioning of whether it's progressive or interlaced:
Vid Rate: 25fps
Frame Size: 1920 x 1080
Compressor: Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2
Pixel Aspect: Square
Field Dominance: Upper (Odd)
By the way, does progressive video have a field dominance?
Thanks,
td

Thanks for the detailed answer. I'm based in Vietnam and none of the local post houses have much experience in doing progressive HD since most of their work is for TVCs. I had to go to Bangkok to do the full-grade transfer (from 35mm) to HDCAM and conform in FCP. I specifically asked for 25P frame rate because this will finish in film. I wonder if they messed up (I hope that's not the case).
I just need to clarify a few things.
The reason my question came up was because as I understand it, progressive video should have no field dominance. Is this correct?
All these footages have Upper field dominance. Is this a definite indication that they're interlaced? Are there any type of HD that has an Upper field dominance?
I did a few test and got mixed result. But I'm not sure if this is because my system is not set up to do anything more than DV, and I don't have a 1080p25 Codec in my system. These are the tests I did:
Since the post house has a more recent version of FCP than I do, they gave me an XML file of the conformed project. I imported the XML, with the 'Override with setting from XML' box checked. Everything is red on the timeline, even after I changed all the timeline's settings to match the footages' settings.
However, when I create a new project, set the Sequence Settings to 1920x1080, Square pixel, Upper Field Dominance, Compressor as Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2. Import a clip directly into the FCP project and place it on this time line. It's gray.
I created a new timeline with same setting, except for Field Dominance set to NONE, the clip is still gray when placed on the timeline.
On the other hand, when I looked at one of the footages at full-size, frame by frame, on my Cinema display (I don't have an HD broadcast monitor), the edges look pretty sharp. For ex. I have a shot of a swish pan following a car speeding across the screen. There are some horizontal streaks in the background, but these look like motion blurs rather than interlaced artifacts. The edge of the car is sharp, with no jaggy. This seems to indicate that it's progressive.
My big worry is that the post house did the transfer (to tape) at 25P, but captured at 50i or 25i by mistake. Then again, if the Codec on the footages says Uncompressed 8-bit, then the captured footages should be the same as what's on the master tape, shouldn't it?
I'm thoroughly confused at this point. Anything that helps to shed light on this would be greatly appreciated.
I apologize for the lengthy note, but I figured it may help to give some backgrounds on the project. I need to get this sorted out before going online. This could be a very costly fix, especially since I'm paying for this film out of my own pocket. But at least if I catch it on time, I can minimize the damage.
Thanks again.

Creating a Gif is different frame rate

If I have an uncompressed .AVI file that I created in After Effects CS5.5 which is 23.976 fps, and load it in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, and tell it to create a .GIF of it, at an output fps of 23.976, when I load the created .GIF into Adobe After Effects it tells me the frame rate is 25 fps and there is a black frame padded on the end. I want the frame rate of the GIF to be what I ask it to be, ie. 23.976, with no additional black frames.
Here's what happened with screenshots:
1. I load the uncompressed AVI file that was created in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 into Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5. Note below that Adobe Media Encoder is saying that the source clip is 23.976 fps, and that the export settings are to create an animated GIF at 23.976 fps.
2. After Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has said "done" (Encoding Completed Succesfully) for this export to a .GIF, if I take that .GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder has just created into Adobe After Effects CS5.5, this is what it says:
As can be seen above, Adobe After Effects CS5.5 is saying the GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has just encoded is actually 25 fps, not 23.976 fps like I told it to be exported as. Also, the GIF Adobe Media Encoder has created is 10 frames long, whereas my original uncompressed AVI is 9 frames long.
Edit: I've just been reading up on the GIF format and it seems it doesn't store a frame rate but instead stores a frame delay, which is in hundredths of a second. If this is just an integer, is this the reason for the displayed frame rate discrepancy, ie. 1 frame at 23.976 fps would be 4.1708 hundredths of a second I think, and 1 frame at 25 fps would be 4 hundredths of a second I think - both rounded to the nearest integer would be 4 hundredths of a second so would the frame delay be set to "4" for both 23.976 fps and 25 fps? (there is also the fact that some short time will be taken for the drawing of the frame)
Though even with the above, it shouldn't be increasing the amount of output frames. It converts it correctly (no additional frames) if I use VirtualDub to convert the AVI to GIF instead of Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5.

Thanks. Could you get them to also check other parts of the code too. eg. when I had a work area set in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and then loaded that project into Adobe Media Encoder (dynamic link etc.) and rendered just the work area I think it was about a frame out then too - I don't think it was a GIF in that case but another type (maybe AVI/H264).

How can I change to a higher frame rate than 12 FPS?

Just got a good deal on a 15 in MACBOOK Pro running Yosemite with the latest Quicktime and iMovie. Is the best frame rate I can get out of this HD camera 12fps? I can't find anywhere to change it in QT or in IMovie.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

So you seem to correctly understand the information in the linked Use More Light! article.
studiojl wrote:... I don't like that at all...
Your emotion is irrelevant. It simply works the way Apple software is written. Perhaps some other computer system works different from Mac OS X and Apple camera apps?
If you intend to keep using Mac, you can take manual control of some camera parameters by using a third party add-on app such as iGlasses, Webcam Settings, or Sight Control.
studiojl wrote: ... what frame rate does it pick if I import one 30 FPS clip and one 60 FPS clip?
Whatever frame rate is set by the program of the software application you are using to record those clips.
You can determine that frame rate by making short test videos and watching it in QT Player.
The QT "Inspector" window will show you the frame rate for the clip.
Here's an example for a clip made in my low-light room:

Msi GeForce 4 4200 frame rate locked at 60 with Windows 2000

Lost here..... I have an MSI Geforce 4 4200 120MB Video Card slotted on an Asus A7V motherboard - AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz processor with 640mb of ram.
There is a common problem with the Nvidia chip and Windows 2000 in regards to a lock frame rate at 60fps within games.
I've tried several programs to fix this i.e. "Refresh Lock", "Windows 2000/XP Nvidia Refresh rate lock", "PowerStrip 3.15" and "NVFresh Tool 1.0"
But nothing seems to work. I'm sure these program work with older Nvidia cards but not with GeForce 4.
Any Ideas? I even turned the Vsync off and on.
HELP!

(A little advice: If you can, dump XP and install a copy of Windows 2000 second edition. They both have the same KERNAL but I find that Win 2000 is much more compatible for now. I give XP 2 more years before it's the OS for all. I've reinstalled 6 systems with Windows 2000 because of compatibility problems.)
