Frame Skip on MPEG2-DVD Export with 24fps source file to 23.976

I'm trying to solve an issue that I've been having for the past week on a DVD I'm hoping to get to the factory for replication by New Years.
My source file is a TRUE 24.00fps 1080p Quicktime Uncompressed (it was shot on film, and originally released on film...that's why it's true 24 instead of 23.976)
I put it in a 720x480 24fps sequence in Premiere CS5, and exported as an MPEG2-DVD for my upcoming DVD. I used the following settings:
Quality 5
Frame Rate: 23.976
Field Order: Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
Render At Maximum Depth
VBR 1-Pass
Min: 2.8
Target: 6
Max: 9
GOP Settings:
M Frames: 3
N Frames: 12
The resulting DVD always seems fine when I'm playing it, the motion and field order look great. But in the exact same scene with a heavy-motion steadicam shot through a hallway, there always seems to be a frame skipping. An entire frame that just goes missing for no apparent reason. It is not a consistent frame....it changes every time I encode, but it is always within 2 or 3 seconds of the same place in the movie. The wierd part is the movie doesn't seem to fall out of sync....this frame just disappears.
Any help would be much appreciated. This is driving me up a wall!!!!
Thanks,

1st, you should not put your email in a message, since it WILL be harvested & used by spammers
2nd, I don't do 24p but isn't there a "pull down" setting you have to use?

Big Problems with PP - AE - Encore MPEG2-DVD export

Hey guys & gals
For the last two days I have pretty much torn the remaining hair from my scalp...
I have a 190 minute 1920x1080 25p Video, all prepared in Premiere Pro.
The Video has ONE audio track and THREE video tracks.
Each of the Video tracks has some transitions (in my case: Roll Away (page peel)).
One of the vids is the main video, the two others should appear in Picture-in-Picture Frames created with After Effects.
The end result should then be rendered to MPEG2-DVD and a DVD created with Encore.
Here are my two (?) problems.
Problem 1: Premiere Pro & After Effects
- When replacing my nested sequences (each video track is its own nest) and send it to AE all seems well.
- However: None of my transitions will render out of AE (basically clip 1 cuts right away to clip 2 without the transition)
Problem 2: MPEG2-DVD export - sound is too short
- When I render my footage to MPEG2-DVD using AME, the sound is always too short.
- Example: I got a 24 min chapter and the sound only lasts around 23 minutes. Then it just goes silent while the rest of the video plays.
- (I multiplexed the sound into the MPEG2 file).
Possible Solution?
I have tried so many things already... Now I am thinking about this:
Is this a solution for #1?:
- export every video track separately and lossless (Windows Media, 1920x1080 25p ?)
- export the sound sound track as AAC sound.
- Create a new timeline with the newly rendered (have all transitions in them) videos.
- THEN send them to AE again. AE does its thing.
For Problem #2 (sound too short) I have no idea right now. That is the most vexing of my problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards from Berlin,
Michael

Thanks John & tfi for clearing up the audio/video issue!
I will try that now - I am confident your advise works!
As far as my system is concerned: Pretty fast i7 with multiple disks, Software is Creative Cloud Subscription (so all should be up-to-date).
Maybe I don't get this whole Premiere / After Effects combo. I am a PPro advanced user, but an absolute AE noob
So: I have a sequence in PPro. It has all kinds of transition effects in there, such as the "roll away" page peel.
When I replace the sequence with an AE comp, I lose my transitions. In AE it shows all of the effects, such as 'roll away' between the clips, but they all have 0 duration.
AE cuts from one clip to another without the transition.
I hope I don't have to render my three videos out to lossless WMF or something and then put them in AE. In total, I have 6 disks with 90 chapters to go. That would be 270 exports before I can even begin working in AE...
Again, thanks guys! And more help is even more appreciated

Where to burning MPEG2-DVD format with?

Since Adobe got rid of Encore and I do not have CS6 to downgrade, I am looking for an free, alternative programm to burn PP MPEG2-DVD format with.
Do I need a DVD-Authoring software or can simply windows burn the files on DVD for players to read?
Thx,
Alex

As far as I know, you MUST install Premiere Pro CS6 to get Encore, there is no separate install of Encore
I have seen mention of then uninstalling P-Pro CS6, with being careful to uncheck the option to uninstall Encore
CS5-thru-CC PPro/Encore tutorial list http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1448923 may help
The bottom section of the link above has several Adobe links, and other information, on downloading Premiere Pro CS6 and the bundled Encore CS6, and the TWO ADDED downloads for the Encore library content, to author a DVD or BluRay... and the tutorial list includes learning how to use Encore... pay particular attention to the picture in reply 3 at this link - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1516173 (picture first posted by Ann Bens and reposted by Stan Jones)

How to create a blu-ray disc with multiple source files

Hello,
How is it possible to create a blu-ray disc, AVCHD recordable DVD with multiple source files from Final Cut Pro 10. Is it possible to create a menu with several chapters corresponding to the sequences (source files)?
Thank you in advance for your support.

Assume you're talking about using the Create Blu-Ray batch template. It's not possible to do with multiple source filles. But if I understand your objectives, you could pretty much get what you think want – discrete movie segments on a single disk with navigation.
The way I'd approach it is by making multiple projects in FCP and then copying the finished versions into a new project, separated by gaps. (You could also use compound clips but I'm not a fan except for very short sequences, which is why I'm suggesting the copy route.) Then export and bring into Compressor.
In Compressor mark your chapters at the gaps between your individual sequences. Then choose the AVCHD option in job actions.
Bear in mind that you'll have to keep the recording time under roughly 30-35 minutes @a5 Mbts/sec
Good luck.

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

Howto deal with multiple source files having the same filename...?

Ahoi again.
I'm currently trying to make a package for the recent version of subversive for Eclipse Ganymede and I'm almost finished.
Some time ago the svn.connector components have been split from the official subversive distribution and have to be packed/packaged extra. And here is where my problem arises.
The svn.connector consists (among other things) of two files which are named the same:
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/features/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
http://www.polarion.org/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/plugins/org.polarion.eclipse.team.svn.connector_2.0.3.I20080814-1500.jar
At the moment makepkg downloads the first one, looks at its cache, and thinks that it already has the second file, too, because it has the same name. As a result, I can neither fetch both files nor use both of them in the build()-function...
Are there currently any mechanisms in makepkg to deal with multiple source files having the same name?
The only solution I see at the moment would be to only include the first file in the source array, install it in the build()-function and then manually download the second one via wget and install it after that (AKA Quick & Dirty).
But of course I would prefer a nicer solution to this problem if possible. ^^
TIA!

Premiere Pro CC - MPEG2-DVD export issues

I have two projects that I am attempting to export using MPEG2-DVD, both exports begin to playback correctly but about half way through the video begins cutting out, flashing white and and green, and then cuts to completely green. Also the sequence length is 25:18, and after export it is 18:05. Export preset for MPEG2-DVD was NTSC 23.976p Wide, nothing else changed. I also tried exporting with Media Encoder, with the same results.
Video was shot with Canon DSLR and GoPro at 24p. Project is to 23.976fps. Video effects added in sequence are Warp Stabilizer, Lumetri looks, Brightness & Contrast, and Three-Way Color Corrector. I disabled all effects, exported with same settings as before, video was at the same shortened length, but the white and green coloring is gone.
Any ideas of why the video effects might be distorting the color? And why the time is dropping from 25:18 to 18:05?

Any luck getting the green and white lines corrected? We broadcast on a local cable channel and our inserter requires MPEG-2 format. When we export in MPEG-2 format from Premier Pro though we get the green and white lines when broadcasting. Right now we're having to export it in a different format, and then use a separate program to convert it to MPEG-2.

CS3-mpeg2-dvd export files

Hi, and thanks for your help on this..
I just exported from media encoder , cs3, a 90 sec clip of graphics and sound from a project that is set up for avi type 2 dv ntsc 720x480i, lower field first to mpeg2 dvd high quality, dolby... I changed the dolby to pcm and went from quality 4 to 5, and left the bitrate defaults..
It generated 4 files....with these extensions:
m2v
m2v.xmpses
wav
xmp
When I double click the m2v file media classic opens the file and plays it, and it looks great and the sound is good.
When I drop the m2v file into gspot it says it is a video file ( no audio ).
I'm going to burn a DVD eventually and am new at this ....so I am not really used to the file types that DVD authoring programs require for the BEST dvd quality....and am wondering....how are those files linked ( wav and m2v ) ...through which other file generated, and is it normal to expect a DVD authoring program to recognize the video and sound files ( apparently demuxed during export ? ). Thanks !
Rod

Stan, thanks!
Thank God, the thing is acceptable on a normal TV.
The next one I do will have the chapters and scenes and stuff, so I'll find out more about those other file exports...the xmpses ? ...
My map graphic that I pan /zoom on is maxed out at 4000px for CS3, and I guess that's why I see the edges of the countries getting sawtoothed....not great...but like I said, acceptable...it gets way better as I Zoom in.....and the rest is just great....no problems with text and so on...
The sound is a bit loud though...I wonder if I should tell my brother who is giving me the sound stuff to keep to a certain db level for DVD authoring...it's no big deal, but it's kinda loud right now...
What a relief. I think I have at least half a chance now to make a decent edit for this friend of mine for his safari trip..
Bill Hunt has a grid he made for 4:3 and THAT worked perfect !.... I'm right where I thought I would be within TV safety...
If I play this now with a DTV (which I don't have) I bet that sawtooth stuff won't be so bad.....
All in all this has been a great day just from this success.... thanks a lot for your quick response, and I will keep all the files exported from the mpeg2 dvd setting to fine tune this later on ....as I get further along with the project.
Thanks
Rod

I'm trying to export my masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC to masters and exporting with an IPTC4XMP file, no luck. These are all .jpg files. The ratings export OK if I export the versions. Any suggestions

I'm trying to export my Aperture masters to use in Lightroom, can't get the ratings to export. Tried writing the IPTC data to the masters and adding the IPTC4XMP file when exporting, neither worked. The ratings show up in Lightroom if I export the versions. These are all .jpg's that I am exporting. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

There are two problems here:
1) Aperture does not modify its "original" files on export. Meaning with the JPEG files that Aperture will NOT modify them, and it will not write IPTC data to them. It exports the XMP sidecar files, as you're seeing.
2) Adobe will NOT read IPTC sidecar files for non-RAW images. So if it sees a JPEG file, it will not look for an XMP sidecar file. It just doesn't read them, so the data won't be imported by Lightroom.
If you are using JPEG files, then probably the solution is to check the box in Aperture to tell it to write XMP metadata to the original files. They're not RAW files, so they're not proprietary in any way, so writing the XMP metadata to the JPEG files is probably pretty safe.

What to do with MP4 Source Files

FDM import script with selectable source file

Hi All,
I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
Source file:
Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
In FDM this needs to be:
Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
So i need to loop through the file.
My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Wayne..
Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
Thanks,
Marc

How to exclude src.zip with java source files from archive

Hello All.
Our team have to prepare our SCs (Sowtware Components) for using outside the company. Meanwhile our source files should be protected. We tried a lot of ways to remove all sources from SCA archives.
This SC should then be integrated in third-party product.
Using build options in compartments gives no effect.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Maxim Maltsev.

Thanks a lot.
To make code invisible for customer we should build an assembly with build option "include_sources"=false.
DCs in such assemblies won't be visible in inactive branch and could be used as non-editable in active branch of track.
The task is settled - client can modify his own code and use our code only via used DC and their public parts, he is not able to see our code.
Also customer can not see private sources as he gets assemblies without sources. Remember - public parts of type assembly shouldn't be of Source type.

HELP! Reformatted drive with Video source files

I accidentally reformatted my external drive that contained the source files for all of my iMovie '09 projects/library. I am currently using Data Rescue II to attempt recover. Fortunately (I hope), all of the project files are on my internal drive.
In case the data recovery doesn't work, does anyone know if I will be able to reimport the video and have the project files recognize the new sources?
Please don't tell me I should have backed up. In fact this was the very thing I was trying to do. I simply made the biggest bonehead mistake in reformatting the wrong drive. I am so bummed now. All of my family videos.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

when you look inside a iM-Project file with the plist-Editor (part of the DevTools), you'll notice as item 62 a 'link', e.g. "~/Movies/iMovie Events.localized/HF100 Import/clip-2008-05-23 23;06;51 1.mov" .. which reads in Human English:
my import is in the iM-Events folder, named 'HF100 Import', followed by the naming scheme, iM uses automatically..
=> in your case, if you re-import, you HAVE to use the exactly same Event names as before! .. in theory, your re-imports of video could work..
How many Projects/Events are we talking about.. ?
... Please don't tell me I should have backed up. ..
you should have backed-up ..

Loosing source location with separate source files

Hi,
I am compiling my code with g++ (version 2.8.1) using the -g option. When I use one large source file with all my classes and the main routine in it, I can browse the source in the analyzer GUI. If I split out all classes into separate source files (which I was hoping would help me maintain the code better), I am no longer able to browse the source files. Analyzer complains about the directory where all source files live not being accessible.
thanks for any input anyone might be able to offer!

In Windows XP the path should be
c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\com.adobe.formscentral.FormsCentralForAcrobat\Local Store\data
You might notice that in that folder the images and forms are saved as separate objects and not all in one file like the FCDT file.
For local file the FCDT contains all you need. If you ever move to online forms and start collecting data then you will notice that that FCDT doesn't contain the data recieved but only the design of the form. In the case you move the form online then we never save the form locally so there is no way to use a source control to save the form other again than just saving the design format (fcdt file) and not the data received.

hope this helps
