Generate sprite sheet problem - MaxRects and Stack frames issue

Hi.
After last update of Flash CC, I have two problems with generating spritesheets.
First, using MacRects Algorithm, there are a few strange rotated texture. This is old bug from Flash CS6.
Second, using Stack Frames, 32 frames animation ( have 12 key frames ) became only 5 textures.
I think this option make silmiliar frames into one statcked frame. But too much stacked. I lost 7 key frames.
What do i have to do??

Thank you for your reply. But I think it's not the font problem.
The A alphabet is just used to replaced the original picture.
I can't post the picture because it has copyright.
I am wondering if it's a bug of flash. There are always a few clip got rotated near the end of the png.
can someone give any help?

Incorrect size of TextureAtlas using "Generate Sprite Sheet..."

1. create a shape of any size. a 4*4 rectangle for example
2. using "Generate Sprite Sheet..." to make a TextureAtlas
3. check the generated config file, the size is wrong: "<SubTexture name="Symbol 1 instance 10000" x="2" y="2" width="5" height="4" pivotX="0" pivotY="0"/>"
width should 4, not 5.
Both Flash Pro CS6 and Flash Pro CC have this bug.

Hi Qizhi
Can you try this. Round of the X and Y position to a whole number on the stage.
Example . Make X = 335 and Y = 54 for the symbol on stage.
Let me know if this helps.

Vista "Problem Reports and Solutions" - Compatibility issues?

The Visa +Problem Reports and Solutions control panel+ is reporting three problems which I cannot seem to be able to find a resolution to.
( So far I've just installed Vista 32 business ed. on my iMac 20". Installed bootcamp drivers, updated bootcamp to 2.1 and applied Vista updates.)
*The Problem Reports and Solutions control panel reports the following:*
1. Download and install the driver for Apple performance counter
This problem was caused by Apple performance counter, which was created by Apple Inc..
2. Compatibility issue between Intel 82801GBM (ICH7-M) LPC Interface Controller - 27B9 and Windows.

A performance counter is not something that is usually in use by any application except by the developers of the unit itself. nothing to be alarmed about (well, except perhaps that it should have been removed).
A null driver is (as the name indicates) null, there is no functionality assigned with it. MS error message is just brilliant "there is an error in your null driver", like what, there is no functionality in a null driver. So no problems there either.
I got the 2 above error messages on the very first generation 17" MBP for ages and so far not seen any impacts in it for my work.
The Intel issue is interesting, it might be a good idea to see if Intel has an updated driver for the problem.

29,97 to 24 fps and Drop Frames issues + 35mm

Hello,
I need to know what should i do in order not to make serious mistakes.
I shot a film in 35mm and have a DROP-FRAME telecine in MiniDV at 29,97. My sound is @ 24fps. My goal is to genereate a cut-list to the lab since my final format is 35mm.
I did the reverse telecine and nothing works, nothing syncs. Can anyone help me on a step-by-step on how to edit this in FCP using Cinema Tools?
Thanks!
Rodrigo

Sorry; no underscores:
http://fattyproductions.com/Sample DV Clip.mov.zip
FYI, I seem to have solved my problem, though again, I'm some of you out there are going to cringe. Basically, I exported my sequence out of FCP using Quicktime Conversion: H.264. Highest possible quality. I dragged THIS file into iDVD, burned a disc, and I have to say, that mix of transcodings got rid of the DV Stream clarity that... well, I didn't want.
If any of you all know of a term that is used to describe this fluidity that DV video (@ 30 fps) has on a television screen, please let me know.

Why are my sprites sheets not sizing/aligning properly?

I'm trying to export my Flash animations as sprite sheets to import into the Unreal Engine. But I keep running into issues where the reported sprite size/locations reported by Flash aren't quite right.
My example generated sprite sheet, it was generated with no border/shape padding:
The first bit of the sun.json file it generates, it says every frame is 214 x 214.
{"frames": {
"Sun Spin0000":
    "frame": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":214,"h":214},
    "rotated": false,
    "trimmed": false,
    "spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":214,"h":214},
    "sourceSize": {"w":214,"h":214}
If I load the sprite sheet into cs6 and shrink the canvas size down to 214 x 214, you'll see the first frame is already starting to show tiny slivers from adjacent frames.
I'm not using padding around the borders or between frames. You can see the there is enough padding already IMO. The problem to me seems to be that Flash
isn't properly outputting the the values into the JSON file, which then I'm using to import into the Unreal engine. If I can't trust these values to be correct,
even if I were to add in padding to alleviate this, I will still have to manually adjust the frame size/locations of every frame of every sprite sheet by hand.

what's the size of your untransformed suns? are they 214x214?
if so how are you loading your spritesheet and displaying the sprites?

CS6 Sprite Sheet animation alignment puzzle

Hey all, I greatly enjoy using Flash CS6's Generate Sprite Sheet tool since it's much much quicker than exporting all the sprites and using TexturePacker (though I wager TP would provide far better optimization). One problem I seem to have is aligning different animations to the same origin - which isn't the origin of the sprite (top left corner).
Say my character Jim has two animations:
Run (small sprites, as he runs in place)
Jump (short and tall sprites, and a bit wider than the Run)
I currently generate a sprite sheet by highlighting both clips and right clicking. This gets me a perfect Sprite Sheet with both animations and their respective names (based on MC name). The Run and Jump frame sizes are different, because the Jump sprites are taller than the Run sprites -- this all makes sense.
What doesn't is that there's zero information on how those two animations should be placed such that Jim can go from playing his run animation and then his jump animation with his feet in the same place, despite the fact that if you inspect either of those clips Jim is standing right at Flash's little origin point at the start of both.
Sure, the data file (JSON in my case) has all the offsets for placing the individual frames in the right place, but how do I align Jim's feet from one set of frames to the next without having to do it all by hand? To date the only workaround I've found is to dump all the animations into a single timeline such that they all take the same frame size, but this is TERRIBLE for managing sprites and animations since it gives all the frames the same name as the combined timeline.
What I really need is another set of numbers in the Sprite Sheet data file that tells me the frame x & y offset from Flash's movieclip origin. I have a suspicion this doesn't exist and is impossible.
At a loss here other than aligning each animation's frame by hand, which may have to be done every time an interal sprite changes size.
Thanks for any insight, none of the Adobe pages or demos go into any depth other than creating a sprite sheet of a single image or animation.

Yes, I understand how to make animations blend together, but my question relates to the technical side of how sprite sheets are generated.
When I generate a sprite sheet from multiple animation movieclips each animation has a unique frame size that Flash calculates and codes into the data file, and that frame size is not the size of document but the size of the smallest frame that can fit all of the sprites in the animation. I can't control this frame size or define a region within the document that is the frame size. Each animation within the sprite sheet could have a different frame size.
I'm interested to know if there is a way to view, generate, or export the data that would relate one animation frame to another so that a character (Jim) could be standing at the movieclip origin in the Run animation which is size A and also be standing at the movieclip origin in the Jump animation which is size B, and not only are A and B different sized frames, but none of the corners are coincident. Since it doesn't do this currently I'd have to manually code the offsets of each animation to a common origin instead of being able to use the one that's already in Flash.
I don't see how any of the default data that is exported along with the spritesheet PNG could relate that info and I'm very curious.
(I could do it by putting every animation within the same movieclip, but then the spritesheet tool is pretty useless since it'd all be one animation)

Multiple Movie symbols into one sprite sheet

I have my character split into different symbols. Arms, Head, Body and so on. Each symbol (movie clip) has its own timeline of animation. How do I get all of my symbols into one clip without losing animation? I've tried selecting all of the symbols and and creating a new movie clip out of all of them together but when I try to covert to sprite sheet, it is just my entire character with no other sequences of movement on the sprite sheet.
Thank you in advance

There are a couple of things you could try depending on what exactly you need.
1. Assuming your character has all the different body parts as separate symbols with their own animations within.
     a. Select all the body-part symbols in Library or on Stage, right-click and select 'Generate Sprite Sheet..'
     b. Check the sprite sheet preview - each of the selected symbols are packed one after the other.
2. If you have one Movieclip containing all the body part symbols and you wish to export the animation as it is ==>
     a. Double click on the main movieclip to get inside it.
     b. Select all the body part symbols on stage and change their instance type to Graphic in the Properties panel.
     c. Increase the frames in the main movieclip's timeline (press F5) to cover the entire animation of its children.
     d. Now generate the sprite-sheet for main movieclip from library or stage and check the preview.

Sprite Sheets in Adobe Lightroom 4

How do I make sprite sheets in lightroom 4?

Is there any way I could import an already made sprite sheet with image and use the slice tool to separate the images into individual fields and then export those to something like TexturePacker? Also, does Lr have the slice tool haha?

Using Sprite Sheets?

Hi
I created a sprite sheet in Flash and imported it into Edge Animate, all is well.
In Animate I now see the individual cells of the sprite sheet as Symbols, but now what? How do I actually bring each symbol into Animate to duplicate the animation on the Animate timeline? I'm just not seeing the forest through the trees....
Thanks,
Rich

Hi richardELeach,
In the time that the experts get back to you, can you have a look at this tutorial to see if it helps?

0000 on the end of a subTexture name in the sprite sheet generator

How can I get rid of the 0000 on the end of a subTexture name in the .xml atlas file created sprite sheet generator? (I'm using the Sparrow v2 option) is there anyway to stop that form being tacked on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Terry,
You mentioned DNS servers. I see a DNS tab in the Network settings control panel. Right now there is a single IP address in the DNS Servers list. But just about everything in this control panel is mumbo jumbo to me. I know barely enough to keep myself operational, but I'm often hesitant to monkey around in there. I'm happy to listen, however, if you want to clarify further.
DNS is the system that converts the human-readable web addresses into things (namely the IP address) that computers can use to find the other computers out there on the internet. Think of it as being like a phonebook - say you need to call Bob, you'd check the phonebook to find out his number to call him.
So, for example:
- say you type www.apple.com into the web browser
- the browser then makes a request to the DNS asking for the location of the Apple web server (it's IP address)
- the browser then uses this IP address to contact Apple and request the page
In Charter's case, when you type just 'apple', instead of their DNS servers returning that the address does not exist, they instead redirect you to their search pages instead.
So, if you specify different non-Charter DNS address (the ones I mentioned above are from Verizon), you should avoid the problem you are seeing. Make a note of your existing entry if you're worried about replacing it and then you can change it back should this not improve things.
Hope that makes more sense, but yell if not

Problems working with non drop and drop frame DVCPRO HD material in project

I am having playback problems with my non drop frame HDV material. It stutters.
All of our projects up to this point have been shot in drop frame. During our last shoot however the Bcam was recorded in non drop. I loaded both the non drop bcam tapes as non drop and the drop frame Acam tapes as drop. All of the drop frame Acam material plays back fine in the source viewer and the timeline. The non drop Bcam material seems to randomly stutter in the source viewer, or causes the system to serve a "dropped frames warning" in the timeline.
Is there a bug with fcp 5.1.2 about mixing non drop and drop frame material in a project. Or is this not possible? They are the same frame rate.
I have exported the non drop clips in a drop frame timeline and re-imported them as drop frame clips - thus correcting the problem. Is this the best solution?
All of the material was loaded thru a kona card as 1080i60 DVCPROHD 29.97
I had no problems capturing the material as long as I used the corrrect firewire setting (ndf vs df).
Anyone have a problem like this? I would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Mark

The camera can record 60i, and 30F:
"HDV 1080, 50i/60i/30F/25F Recording and Playback capable"
Look at the clips...look at their frame rates. What do they say? Is one 59.94? Is the other 29.97?
You would never need to render if you mixed NDF and DF footage. The footage runs at the same speed, on the TC numbers are different. But, you would need to render if your footage had different frame rates. LOOK AT THE CLIPS.

I am having problems copying and pasting clips from one project timeline to another. When I do this they often alter in length. Sometimes by two frames. Other times they lose a chunk off the end of the last clip in the sequence. Has anyone else found

You need to give a lot more information about the media specifications and the project properties you're using in the different projects.

Cross dissolve and still frame problem

Sorry for reposting this issue but I am still have problems. In fact, it is extremely frustrating and I don't know why.
I am using FCP X 10.0.8 and when I try to add cross dissolves to some still frames it will not allow me.
I get the following error msg.
The Japanese error msg says that there is insufficient media length outside the clip edge to make a transition. And it asks whether I want to make a ripple trim to the media in order to make the transition. It says that if I decide to do so then the overall project duration will be shortened. However, even if I decide to do the later it will not let me make the cross dessolve.
As you can see there should be enough length outside the clip edge to allow this. Or am I misleading myself in this view?
According to me - and I know that I am a sheer novice at this, there should be enough media length to allow the transition. This is happening in not only cross dissolves but any other dissolve which I attempt to add. The problem seems to be intermittent or varies. If I replace the still frame then sometimes it will allow the transition but effects subsequent frames. Either putting in "flash" or bogus frames - even just a black frame. These I can only detect when I expand the timeline to the very limit. And on some occassions there is nothing whatsoever that seems to be blocking the adding of the cross dissolve. This will be the 3rd time which I have had to restart the project and it is getting rather annoying, not to say that I am approaching the time limit which is adding even more pressure.
Can you suggest what the problem is and how I should go about rectifying it please? Is anybody else having the same issue?
Thanking you,
Mitaka27

This is what I see but it doesn't quite make sense to me. One, I don't know why there should be two AUDIO01 files showing. The still frame which I am trying to add the crossover to is FRTOTSUKA. It will allow me to add to the end but not to the start. The same is happening with a couple of other frames. If I add one to the start it won't allow me to add it to the end.
Hope I am making sense.
Thanking you,
