Frames -- Video

Hello,
I'm experimenting a bit with JMF, and I have been able to get all the frames from a video, but is it also possible the other way around? For example, I have 100 frames extracted from a video with 10fps, I have - let's say - resized all frames and now I want my 100 frames to become a video again (any vid-format). Is this possible with Java, if yes, how?
Help'll be appreciated. :D
Greets & Thanks,
~Matt

Have a look at JpegImagesToMovie.
Edit 1:
..I have previously used it to create MOV files successfully, though the app. is a little quirky, and I just had to alter it to accept a directory as the image path (and then use all images in that directory as frames, as they appear alphabetically - like we want to type in 100+ image names!).

I have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

i have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

Come on gents and gentesses...... I'm really sweating on this one. Can't properly display my combined audio and pic when showing the Timeline contents of FCP in the MacPr's TV monitor Only the pic is appearing without any proper sound, as reported above. Just a mono row.
Does nobody have any idea on the problem or am I too far up to date with the MacPro and FCP 5.1.4 for even Apple to let me in on the way to rectilfy. Bloomin' upgrades...... !

Key-Frame Video Transitions?

Is there anyway to Key-Frame Video Transitions in Premiere?

With some transitions (not Transitions), one can create them, such as with Opacity for Cross-Dissolves, and then Keyframe those Effects. That is where Colin and I were headed. Most Transitions can only be adjusted via whatever attribute dialog, if any, is presented.
The Nesting is a very good way to make some changes too.
Often several ways to skin that cat...
For more control, you also might want to look into Pixelan's SpiceMaster, or ProDAD's Adorage, as many of their Transitions can be altered in some very interesting ways. Pixelan is kind of a "roll your own," plug-in, and offers some very useful control. Well worth the $, and cannot say too much about how great their support is - should be the paradigm for all software companies, IMHO.
Good luck,

Editing Panasonic GH1 1280 x 720 60 frame video

I got an old Macbook with previous ver of iMovie which does not support editing AVCHD. I know that iMovie 09 is able to handle AVCHD and support video from Panasonic GH1, so I am planning to a get a new mac with new OS and iMovie 09. Would anyone please share your experience in using iMovie 09 with GH1? I shot the footage in 1280 x 720 60 frames per second in AVCHD format. I understand that iMovie will convert it to Apple properitary video format for editing, my questions are:
1. is the response time acceptable? I believe it is quite hardware demanding for 720p video editing. What is the time rquired for say, a C2D iMac 2.xxGHz 4GB Ram for cutting or addition of transition effect? Do you have to wait for say 30 sec to add a 4 sec transition effect between two footages?
2. what is the output format of the edited video, can it be re-coded to AVCHD so that I may burn it on a DL DVD for paying on a PS3 or blu-ray player?

I got the camera and used in my trip to London last month. Very unlucky that there is no Apple Store where I live in HK, there is only reseller. I will try to test it with my friend new Macbook Pro 13".
If iMovie only import the video at 30 frames, it would not be a solution for GH1 users as the camera shoot at 60 frames which produce very smooth video which I watch the un-edited video on a PS3.
I was quite frustrated with the proper software for editing the AVCHD video. I thought many camera/video camera users shooting so-called hd video would face the same problem.

Function to change mp3 and frame (video)

I am currently working on a music site that has a custom built mp3 player, where the action script calls to an external xml. It works beautifully. It is all on one frame.... in the background of the music player is edited video that I manipulate in final cut. I have next and pre buttons that call the xml. What I am trying to do is change the video when the song is changed. Im not sure if I call a fuction to the button next frame + or - 1 or if I can call the video to the xml. I am a graphic designer learning code and am not sure how to tackle this. This site is my senior project..Please help!!!

remove the video code from that movieclip, assign that movieclip an instance name (eg, flv) and use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<dren>
<song>
<title>Namasta</title>
<artist>Dren A.D.</artist>
<album>No Love Lost</album>
<url>songs/namasta.mp3</url>
<flv>whatever.f4v</flv>
</song>
<song>
<title>Hoooorn</title>
<artist>Dren A.D.</artist>
<album>No Love Lost</album>
<url>songs/hoooorn.mp3</url>
<flv>whateverelse.f4v</flv>

Drop frame video to non-drop frame clip warning (again)

So my most recent search of why this warning comes up reveals no good answers (unless someone can point me to a thread I overlooked...cuz I can't narrow it down without getting threads about folks who have gotten dropped frames during capture, which isn't the same situation)...
I shoot on an XL2 (drop frame) and capture with a DSR-11. Once in a while I will finish going through log and capture (in the log and capture window), setting ins, outs, etc. but I go to batch capture and it gives me the warning. All my ins/outs have semi-colons, I haven't changed the setting on my camera since I started using it more than 18 months ago, and it doesn't happen all the time. I do have the "abort capture on dropped frames" box unchecked as well (if that matters).
99.99% of the time, I've captured and there's no problems with syncing or anything. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jonathan

If I recall right someone suggest to have your tape playing while opening Log and Capture, but I might recall wrong
I already have the "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames" unchecked.
Don't be mistaken: Dropped frames are a totally different issue from non-drop and drop frame timecode.
Drop frame timecode drops (or better: skips) timcodenumbers while counting the videoframes. That is a system to compensate for the 29,97 frames per second in order to calculate the correct length of a clip.
Dropped frames (as in "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames") is an error. Due to some reason the hardware isn't capable to record/digitize every single videoframe to your harddisk. e.g. Your captured file will have 2000 frames, while your footage on tape had 2003. Three frames were dropped then during capture. And your video will noticeble stutter at these points.
So I'd strongly recommend to do check the "Abort on dropped frames" and "report dropped frames"-options. You don't want stuttering video do you. So if your hardware couldn't handle the videofeed somehow, it would resp. abort capture or warn you that it happened.

Frame by frame video

The video control bar in iTunes 6 contained back and forward arrows for single-frame steps. I found it very handy when I was setting poster frames. It appears to be gone in 7, though. Am I overlooking something?
iMac G5 2.1 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.7)

i noticed this was missing as well.
i thought it may be buried so i tried holding down the apple key, option key and control key while arrowing forward on the keyboard but no luck.
BOOOOOOO!
i would like to see that feature return asap.

Poster frame video photos app

The poster frame thumbnail for my videos shows up everywhere except the Photos App on the iPad. This a big inconvenience when adding a video to Keynote in the iPad. Anybody know why the Photos app defaults the thumbnail to the opening seen of a video instead of the poster frame?

Thanks for the tip, but this just doesn't work for me. I right click to get the contextual menu, select Set Poster Frame, but nothing happens. Tried this as per original post in both separate window and artwork square.
I have also noted that the Artwork add / delete buttons are greyed out. Is this related?

Key frames switch to SMOOTH when they started as linear for multi key frame video animation ?

When i create a series of animated moves on a freeze frame or pic...the second key frame which begins a "hold" ...always changes to smooth from linear after I add a few additional key frames and moves.. I use the key frame button on top left of viewer to add the key frames...I have tried adding the key frames in the inspector but smae results..2nd key frame changes to smooth after I add 4 additonal key frames and moves. why?

thanks for the reply Steve. I will battle through with this project and show the end result, but you may celebrate a birthday or six before I finish.But I will finish. It is part of a project I am creating from a recent stay on the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Geraldton Western Australia. It is isolated like few places in the world, pristine and protected. We have friends who are proffessional fisherman and are allowed to stay there on shacks during the limited fishing/rock lobster fishing season.I have some really great photos and video to make use of.

Variable Speed and/or Frame-by-Frame Video playback with Waveform synchronization

I'm using Diadem 2011 to view data recorded in a LabVIEW Module that we have written. The function of our LabVIEW module is to simultaneously capture video from two infrared cameras and 8 channels of waveform data from a DAQ and record this data to disk. Data is recorded as two separate AVI files (compressed) and a TDMS file (using TDMS logging). Using Diadem, I use the video synchronization function to view the TDMS data and video files. I can scroll a cursor in the waveform data panel and view the video corresponding to the time selected.
I am looking for two features from Diadem that I am not sure are present: 1) A way to vary the playback speed from real-time. 2) A way to advance the video in a frame-by-frame manner. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might implement this in Diadem 2011 or can verify that these features are present, I would very much like to know.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Resaebiunne,
All the functions you are looking for are available in the VIEW toolbar.
For the frame reverse/forward functions, please make sure that the section with the video inside is highlighted and then use these two buttons. The "Cursor Parameters" icon let's you change the playback speed.
Hope that helps,

Frame by frame video player or slow motion

the video player is outstanding but a couple of enhancements could make it perfect. frame by frame or slow motion could make it a more perfect tool for analyzing a golf swing or studying a surgical procedure. and if a still frame could be magnified or the video magnified during playback it could be all anyone would ever need. still frame grabbing would also be a useful tool. we also need the macro focus - it is an essential tool for recording documents and for producing video presentations of small items like jewels, stamps or coins.

Can anyone suggest an app for slow motion video playback with the bb playbook?

Drop Frame video (29.97) with Non-Drop Frame Time Code

Howdy All,
I understand that DF TC & Non-Drop frame TC are numbering issues and not frame
count issues, That said,
If I have an encoded file captured from an analog Beta Cam SP that has NDF TC
and that file has been encoded as 29.97, so that the resulting file has
a Frame rate of 29.97 with NDF TC from the source tape,
1) Does this constitute an error?.
2) Will this cause problems for the next guy?.
(having been "The Next Guy" in the past I prefer to handle such things on this end if it requires handling)
I have been looking for a straight answer but this specific cause/effect
is tough to track down.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
KA

Well, starting as a linear editor I can tell you jam syncing and converting to DF will really screw up the TC. Every 10 seconds you'll have a TC number that's incompatible with the DF counting sequence.
If these are source tapes, you have nothing to worry about. I actually prefer NDF source while editing (I'm very old school) beacuse if I trim 5 frames on a mark I can calculate in my head where the new point would land regarding TC. With DF, I trim and often have to do a double take because the math didn't make sense.
Do NOT ever alter the time code on any source material unless you have a capture failure that you have absolutely no other way of working around.
Anyone can mix DF and NDF source time code on any system without any issues. The only problem with NDF is determining EXCACT running time of a completed program when delivering for broadcast.

Newbie Needing Frame-By-Frame Video Help

Hello all. I'm working with FP8 and I'm trying to create a Flash video file (as in real life video but an .flv like YouTube) in which it's possible to have a hyper-link appear on the video screen. Kind of like how on YouTube, when a video is playing, it'll say "Click Here For More Info" from :10 seconds- to-:20 seconds and then the link goes away, in a 1 minute video.
I have numerous resources for the actual (real life) video processing prior to pulling it into FP8.
Thanks in advance.

Just bumping... hoping someone has the answer.

My iphone 4s camera will only record the first frame video and sound.

I tried restarting and no luck.

Sounds like a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Youtube Exporting: Progressive frame video, Adaptive Details etc

I just read Ken Stone's article (or at least as much as I could understand) about exporting for youtube these days (http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/you_tube_reduxgary.html). My main question is: Do I need to have Compressor to take advantage of the settings he outlines? FCE gives me many of the options he includes but I don't see how to ensure that it's progressive or that the Adaptive Details option is unchecked. I know so little about what these things actually do, but I'm in great need of exporting good-looking youtube vids and my stuff isn't looking so hot. Help?
Thanks!
