Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
Here's some links I got from google for you
NTSC
Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals

Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
good luck

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • Live! Cam Video IM Pro VF0410 Frame Rate Problem

    Hello I'm from Turkey sorry for my English first. I bought this camera yesterday and i tried it on 2 PC.First one is using Win Vista Home Premium (4Gb RAM + Core 2 Duo E6750),second one is Win XP Home (Gb Ram + Pentium M .8). In these PC's i can't get more than 4 or 5 FPS. I only saw 8 FPS for one second. I downloaded the?latest drivers from the site which is v.0.0 (2.68 Mb).Nothing changed it is 4 FPS again.What can i do what is this problem. Is my camera faulty ?

    I too have the same problem. It seems to be a flaw with the software or the hardware. If you disable the auto exposure setting the frame rate will still site at 4-5 fps.
    If you then move the exposure slider to the far left and then back to the right the frame rate will immediatley increase to 20-30 fps, but the exposure is quite poor even with the adjustment of brightness, contrast, etc. Is this a software bug or a hardware flaw?

  • Photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 Camera frame rate problem.

    Hi,
    I have a photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 camera connected with a PCI2-1429 board. I trigger my camera externally using a NI-DAQ and an I/O board to the camera. I am having a problem with the frame rate of my camera. In the manual it says that the camera can operate at 150 fps. When I am triggering at 10Hz the camera works fine. But when I trigger it at 100 Hz the camera does not give me the required fps. I am imaging an analog clock to measure the fps. When I am triggering at 100 Hz I should get just 1sec in images but instead I am getting images of 3sec. I am using the NI-IMAQ sequence example for it. Is it a software problem (e.g. buffer allocation etc) or a hardware limitation.

  • Frame Rate Problems in CS4

    I am a student and I use CS4 on a Mac on one of the schools computers. One of the animation projects I am working I need to animate a music video.
    To do this I calculated out the BPM of the song and set the frame rate at 23.3 FPS so that I would have 20 Frames between beats. Then to have a visual representation of the timing I set a layer that has a red dot blink for 2 frames every 20 frames starting on the first beat. With it set up like this and I run the animation in Flash it keeps time correctly and works. However, when I test the video the time is off. I tried changing the frame rate to 60fps as an arbitrary number to see if adjusting the frame rate had any affect of the test file but when I tested the video at 60fps it did not run any faster than before. I asked my professor about the problem but he doesn't know. I exported the video to a SWF and MOV file but it was still off.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    use a timer to display your dot so you can control its timing more accurately.  that said, the only elementary way to sync audio and visual in flash is to add the audio to your timeline and assign a sync of "stream". 
    note:  that's not the best way to use sound in flash but it's the only easy way to sync sound/visuals.

  • Video Frame rate problem.

    Hi experts,
    I am working with JMF to capture a video source and display it in a JInternalFrame.
    I set the frame rate to 30fps, but when running the program I only have 1fps. If I set the LightWeightRenderer of the Manager to false, then I have 16fps (not the 30fps requested).
    If I use JMStudio I get the 30fps.
    Do you have any idea of what's going wrong ??
    Your ideas are welcome.
    Matthieu

    Thanks for your answers.
    In fact, I am capturing a video source coming from an echograph with a Miro PCTV video card (bt848).
    My computer runs with WinXP on a PentiumIII 450Mhz, 256Mo of RAM, and a NVidia GeForce 2 GTS with 32Mo of RAM.
    I obtained the following results:
         -> Using RGB, 640x480, 24bits, 30fps :the real frame rate is 3-4 fps.
         -> Using YUV, 640x480, 30fps: the frame rate reaches 15 fps.
         -> Using JMStudio I always get 30fps.
    This frame rate is given by the video player.
    I think that the problem is not linked to the hardware configuration but in the way the video is displayed in the application.
    Indeed, I don't anderstand why JMstudio is able to give 30fps and my application only a few fps.
    The main difference is that I display the video in a JInternalFrame and in a Frame. But even if I supress the Manager.LightWeightRenderer support results are a little better but I never reach the 30fps.
    To build the video renderer I have used the MDIApp.java and JMFrame.java files given by Sun.
    My question is what can do the difference? How can the Sun code be so performant ?
    If you want more details on my code, I can put some piece of code on the forum.
    Thanks to find a solution because I am going to go crazy !!!!

  • FCE frame rate problem?!

    Hi, if someone could help me with this asap that would be so helpful?!
    Basically I'm having a problem with the frame rate in Final Cut Express. I was using 3 different Sequences to edit different clips/audio in. I then wanted to put them all in to the same Sequence but when I did the clips were flashing different colours and wouldn't play properly. All of the clips were 30fps however the project frame rate was 29.97fps? How did the frame rate of the project change because I didn't know you could change it and how can I change it back?! Thansk :-)

    29.97fps is the actual frame rate for NTSC (North American) video.  It has historically been called "30fps" for convenience sake.  However in recent years true 30fps capability has appeared even in some consumer camcorders.  This can result in some subtle problems if you mix real 30fps material in a standard 29.97fps sequence.  The "change" you refer to could occur if your clips were recorded at a real 30fps and you put them in a 29.97fps sequence.  FCE will try to conform the clips to the sequence settings.
    For completeness, here is what FCE supports:
    SD video at the following frame rates.  FCE imports DV video as QuickTime/Apple DV during capture from your camcorder
    DV-NTSC @ 29.97 fps
    DV-PAL @ 25 fps
    HD video at the following frame rates.  FCE transcodes all HD video (HDV and AVCHD)  to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec during capture from your camcorder.

  • Frame skip/choppy frame rate problems

    Hi all,
    I have been benchmarking different sprite rendering methods on iPhone, and seem to have a consistently choppy framerate when publishing using CPU.  If I use GPU the frame rate is not choppy, but the overall performance is much slower.
    I have a detailed analysis here: http://www.pixelthismobile.com/blog/1/10/2010/flash-iphone-wildly-fluctuating-framerate-or -frame-skip
    All I am doing is drawing a number of sprites to a static bitmap on the stage (using copyPixels), clearing the bitmap before each frame.
    Basically the framerate jumps rapidly between two values (a low and a high - for example 15 fps and 52 fps) at a very consistent rate of about 3 cycles per second.  I am at a loss...
    Would be great if anybody had any insights.
    Regards,
    Peter
    p.s. This uses PFI v1, have yet to try with v2.

    I'm starting to get to the bottom of this! Seems the choppy performance is being caused by my benchmarking routine, which pushes a single Number value on to an array every frame.   I assumed this was due to memory allocation so I tried a fixed size array and simply setting a value each frame. Still choppy.  So I got rid of the benchmark code altogether. All that is left is this code: frameCount++; And the choppy frame problem is STILL there! Without the ++ it is fine o.O - how absolutely bizarre. Who would have thought a post increment would cause a choppy frame rate!?  Still doing more testing so stay tuned...
    Nope - it is frame skip

  • Gx70 destroyer frame rate problems

    Just wandering does anyone have problems with there gx70? i got the 2014 model with 120gb ssd/16gb ram and i tried to play borderlands 2 and the frame rate is like 10-15 making it unplayable. anyone have any ideas why? its the r9 m290x card so it shouldnt really be facing this problem...

    ahhh. just tried playing contagion cant even play that, my old laptop which graphics card is a radeon 5000 series runs better then this... so far most games i have tried to play are unplayable at a 10fps... ive done everything from putting my laptop on maximized performance, even assigned each game to max performance from the laptop itself, nothing seems to work.

  • Wav sound and frame rate problem

    I have a wav file sound that I'm using within a movie clip in
    the movie clip's timeline. When I test the movie from within Flash
    (command-return), everything works great. When I publish and view
    online, here's what happens.
    If I click a button to move to another frame in the movie
    while the sound is playing, the frame rate speeds up and the movie
    gets a "fast forward" look to it until the sound ends. If I click a
    button when the sound is not playing, everything is fine. Am I
    missing something in the publish settings? Do I need to stop the
    sound in AS3 on the CLICK events (and if so, how)?
    Thanks,

    You will have to use Compressor...and the Advanced Conversion settings...DVCPRO HD 720p24. But you will also need to go into the FRAME controls in the INSPECTOR and make sure that you make it progressive and that you changes all the settings to better or best. This means that it will take a while, but it will look better.

  • NX8800GTS T2D512E Low frame rate problems.

    Recently installed this card and my frame rates are half of what they used to be with my old XFX 8600GT 512DDR3 which only had 32 stream processors. Mainly play BF2 and COD4 and would like to play Crysis again but my last card really struggled with crysis at the end. I used to get 90 FPS in BF2 and 60+ in BF 2142 and now I only get half of that! I ran 3Dmark06 and scored a 8700 and thought that was low in comparison to like systems. Please help anyone, it would be greatly appreciated. Driver version installed is 7.15.11.6906.
    System:Quad 6600,Gigabyte P35C-DR3R with latest bios, 4 gigs @ 667, PC power and cooling 610 watt with 49 amps on the 12v rail, cooler master 690 case with 6 fans, card doesn't get hotter than 50c° with the fan at 52%.

    Reinstalled drivers as suggested by Frankenputer using the driver sweeper method. Used the MSI drivers on disc. Ran 3Dmark06 and scored 6500 on all stock settings. Did a little overclocking from 2.4 to 3.0 on CPU and kept ram clocked at 667. Overclocked card ( D.O.T. -level 6 Commander ) and ran 3D again to a score of 7900. Ran crysis and it seemed to run better at a lower res and mixed settings at medium and high. Also ran BF2 and got my frame rates back in the 70's. I'll try 2142 and COD4 Saturday and see what results I get.  Everything in case is still running cool. I think the real test will be some of the later stages in crysis to see if the 8800GTS does better than the old card. I don't know if I'm worrying too much about frame rates or 3dmark scores, i just thought I would see a increase in performance at stock settings like I ran my PC when I had the 8600 GT, not a decrease in performance. I don't really have another computer I can try this card in as none of my friends have the affliction I have. I still have the feeling something is not right with the card. I have never had to RMA anything before. Any thoughts?
    Thank you for your input and troubleshooting help.

  • Frame rate problems with Apple Intermediate Codec.

    Hi,
    I have just upgraded to a new Mac Pro and FCE 4.1.
    I went to carry on working with an existing FCE HD file. It loaded and updated fine.
    When the project was played back it appeared jumpy and too fast.
    I looked at the clip properties and the FPS for the project was at 32!! I'm working in 25 fps.
    Its as if FCE is interpreting the movie files as 32 FPS
    When the clips are played back in quicktime they are at 25 fps as normal.
    The clips are AIC 1440 x 1080i.
    I tried it on a new project and the same thing happened.
    Other codecs like DV seem to be OK.
    Has anyone had this problem before and know of a solution.
    I have done all the usual disk repairs and the like. Next will be a re-install.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    It's a must to use the correct setup in easy setup dialog to fit your shooted material on tape.
    Here's the trail to follow if you want to edit in HD (by the way the FX1Ecan shoot in HD mode or standard definition DV- mode: wide or standard screen).
    On your FX1E
    -find the camera menu and set the recording format to HDV (it sould be 1080i50 as it's the HDV format used by this model).
    -Set the output format to automatic or 1080i50 (this is the type of signal that will be outputed by your camcorder upon capture via firewire).
    -turn off you camcorder and mac.
    -Plug both devices with a firewire cable.
    -turn on the FX1E AND the mac.
    -Start FCE HD
    In Final Cut Express HD
    -Use "Easy Setup..." command in Final Cut express menu , select HD in format tab, 29.97 in rate tab and HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50. Click "Setup" button.
    -From this point, any new sequences and capture session will occur in Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50 (the format used to edit in HDV).
    -Use command-8 to open the capture window. HDV is captured via a simple dialog. There are no capture setings or log clips info.
    -Start your camcorder in *VCR mode*(the play button on camcorder or on remote) and click the capture now button into FCE HD.
    NOTES: there is no sound from your MAC upon capturing. There is a lag time between what is played on your cam and what you can see on your mac screen, so use the camcorder screen to monitor the content.
    -Hit the "ESC" key when you want to stop the capturing process.
    Once the esc key is pressed, your mac will continu to process the captured material and the capture window should close.
    That's the way to capture HDV material into FCE HD.

  • Movie Rental Fram Rate Problems

    I rented a movie through iTunes and when watching full frame, as well as watching within iTunes, the movie would constantly freeze throughout the movie, just for a split second each time. It was like the processor couldn't keep up with the movie. Also, when I hit the X in the upper left corner to exit the movie, iTunes would quit. I sent a report to Apple. Anyone have this problem and if so, any remedies? Thanks.

    Is this a movie you encoded or one from iTunes? It's possible one could be encoded with a high enough bitrate to cause a problem. I haven't seen any issues yet with ones I encoded from Handbrake or with one bought from iTunes.

  • Frame rate problems on clip, noob needs help

    Hey everyone, I don't have much background in video edit and absolutely no training so if there are some really simple things that I might be overlooking, don't be afraid to suggest them.
    Basically my project consists of 3 different file types:
    720p .mts from Panasonic GH1 at 59.94fps
    720p .mov from Canon 60D at 59.94fps
    an .avi stream capture from Ustream at 30fps
    My sequence is set to 29.97fps.  I've been using the AVCHD 720p30 preset.  I've never really understood what settings I should be using and I know that is a problem.
    Anyways, the .mts and .mov files look great but the stream file looks like it is playing at probably 2x speed but then it jumps back after about a second and replays itself.  The audio is working fine but I can't figure out why the video is all over the place.  Any solutions and/or advice for me?  Thanks

    Convert the codec in that AVI wrapper to an editable format.
    an .avi stream capture from Ustream at 30fps
    is impossible, since capture can only be done over firewire from a tape based camera.

  • Variable Frame Rate on H.264 output

    I am using AE CS6 (cloud version). I am trying to render compositions to 1080p mp4.  Each time the comp appears to render fine.  But bringing it into my NLE crashes my NLE.  I brought the media into MediaInfo (app from SourceForge that shows everything about a media clip).  It says that the Frame Rate is VARIABLE  Min: 60fps;  Max 60.6 fps.  The composition was 80 fps, and I told the renderer to keep it at 80.  MediaInfo also said the duration was over 6 seconds.  The composition was a little over 4 seconds. So the overall speed of the comp was incorrect.  I've been in the video business for about 10 years.  I understand frame rates, etc.  Never heard of VARIABLE frame rates until this.
    I was able to launder the media file through a freeware media format converter, and got it back into constant frame rate so I could proceed in the NLE with the project.  But the time was still 6 seconds.  So I had to speed up the clip in the NLE to get it back correct.
    Since moving to CS6 from CS4, I decided to start using the H.264 output module.  So I've just started encountering this variable frame rate problem.
    So my questions... What is variable frame rate, how did I 'request' it, why is even the variable frame rate no where near the comp frame rate, and what do I do to simply get an mp4 with the 80fps that I want?
    This is very reproducible for me.  My comps are usually either HDTV 1920x1080 or HDV 1440x1080. 
    Add to Render Queue
    Select DV Settings, change field order to none
    Select H.264 output module
    Render
    Can someone explain what's going on?
    Thanks.
    Jerry

    Where did you get that footage and what format was it originally shot in?  Was it shot in slow motion or did you change the frame rate in AE?  Why would you need 80fps footage unless you're going to slow it down to a normal frame rate?
    Also, h.264 is not only a very lossy format, it's also a bad intermediate format.  So if you're planning on editting that footage later on in an NLE, I'd suggest rendering it to something else.  Premiere should work fine with h.264, but not FCP, although I think they fixed it in FCPX, but you didn't say what NLE you're using.
    Second of all, the H.264 encoder is much better in Adobe Media Encoder.  Check this post by Andrew Yoole:

    Report
    As the other guys have said, don't use AE to render using temporal codecs.  Temporal codecs like H264 rely on storing partial frames based on earlier information.  AE renders and encodes one frame at a time, so most of the efficiency of a codec like H264 is lost.  The result is that you get much lower overall quality from an AE h.264 render than if you were to encode it externally.
    Adobe Media Encoder or Quicktime 7 will encode great quality H.264 files.
    Was this helpful? Yes   No 
    As I said I'm not sure why you would need to take an 80fps piece of footage back into an NLE, but if you're trying to make that footage play back in slow motion, you're going to have to re-interpret the frame rate of the footage in After Effects to play back at standard rate.  And, if you're going to use the AE Render Queue to output something for more editing, I would suggest using best settings and outputting to a production codec such as a ProRes, Animation, Uncompressed 10bit, Uncompressed 8bit or Black Magic. 
    Also I've never used that media info app before, but I know that when you open up quicktime and hit command I on the mac to view the inspector, the playing fps jumps around.  I think this happens because the player doesn't necessarily play back the correct frame rate at all times.
    This Adobe Captivate blog talks about variable frame rates in F4V files.  Maybe it might help explain things.
