GIF and FRAME Issues

Hi, I'm currently using Safari 4 and ever since I upgraded I noticed that any page with a decent sized or a few smaller GIF animations brings Safari to a dead stop. I mean I can wait up to 30 seconds while it sits there and loads the stupid animation, then it allows me to move on, albeit VERY slowly. This is extremely irritating. Anybody get this, and is there a way to fix it? Also I'm having problems with Safari loading all the frames in a site with multiple frames, and sometimes if a page loads incorrectly in a frame, it's impossible to get Safari to reload it correctly without emptying the cache and restarting. This is extremely annoying and I wish for a fix to this as well.

    I am trying to create a simple animated gif in Photoshop. I've set up my frames and want to use the tween to make the transitions less jerky. When I tween between frame 1 and frame 2 the object in frame two goes out of position, appearing in a different place than where it is on frame 2. Confused!

    Hi Melissa - thanks for your interest. Here's the first frame, the second frame and the tween frame. I don't understand why the tween is changing the position of the object in frame 2, was expecting it to just fade from one frame to the next.

  • Print Sizing and Quality Issues

    When I print PDF documents I have issues with sizing and quality. I only have this issue with my Mac. Windows prints the files as they should be. I've tried two different printers, both over network. It doesn't matter whether I am in Adobe or in a browser. Basically it oversizes the documents and cuts off the edges. The quality on images and logos is severly degraded. This probelm existed in Lion and now in Mountain Lion. Any help?

    What we need are the clip properties & sequence settings in Final Cut Express.  Your screenshot is from a Finder window.
    It would appear you have a clip with nonstandard frame size (1366x768) in an H.264 file.  FCE cannot edit this material.  FCE is limited to specific codecs and frame sizes.  You need to convert your clip to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. If it's highdef widescreen then convert it to QT/AIC 1920x1080i.  Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the source clip.
    You also need to be using a matching Easy Setup in Final Cut Express.  If your source media file is QT/AIC 1920x1080i then you should select the AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60 Easy Setup in FCE -AND- then create a new sequence before importing your clip into FCE and placing it in your sequence (timeline)

  • Dropped frames issue on a G5 2.7DP w/DV footage

    Let me first tell you my setup:
    G5 2.7 DP
    8 GB RAM
    WiebeTech TrayDock eSATA 4-bay drive enclosure w/Sonnet 4+4 eSATA PCI Card
    (2) 400 GB Seagate Barracudas in the enclosure RAIDed in a striped config using Apple's Disk Utility
    10.4
    FCP 5
    At seemingly random times, playback from the timeline will stutter and stop, thus throwing up the dropped frames dialog box. If I re-play from the same point, it will normally play. This has happened on several current projects in which I'm working in DV. I've also worked on a project in 8bit uncompressed using my Kona LS card with the same drives, and had the same error.
    I've had this issue ever since I setup this system--from the first install of FCP5 to the most recent update of 5.0.3, as well as from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. I've tried turning off the internal Airport card in the G5, and quitting all other programs.
    There is a little utility that came with the Kona card to test data rate of your drives. I'm getting well over 100 MB/s Read, and slightly less write rates, so it seems like drive speed isn't an issue.
    What is the weak link here? WiebeTech was nice enough to send me a replacement eSATA PCI card, and the issue hasn't gone away, so it wasn't a bad card, although I guess there could be some flaw inherent in all of the cards.
    What other steps should I take to try and isolate/solve this problem? This is kind of embarrasing that I can't play DV footage on the timeline without the possibility of dropping frames--even when working with only one layer of video.
    I'm capturing video to the eSATA RAID, and my project files/graphics reside on an internal SATA drive in G5 (not the boot drive--I added another seagate 250 gb). Seems like there should be enough throughput in this thing to handle basic edits, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
    Your ideas?????

    Clay,
    Regarding your statement "My thinking initially about my workflow was to not keep them on the same drive as the footage because my feeling is that the RAID isn't as "safe" as the single 250 GB drive I have inside the G5".
    I store all of my media, GFX and project files on whatever FW drive I happen to be using for a project. I NEVER have media for a specific project on two or more drives. For safety's sake, I ALWAYS have my Autosave Vault set to my internal drive, with a relatively high save rate (every 10 min). That way if the FW drive ever failed completely, I'd at least have a recent copy of the project file to work with (even if I have to redigitize the footage or redo the GFX). All I can say is keep all of your media (per project) on one drive - it's been kind of the Bible in this industry for years, and as far as I know it hasn't changed.
    As far as RAID's go, I'm no expert. But if I remember correctly, back in my old Avid days we also used to avoid having the media on different striped partitions - something else you may want to try if you're media is spread across a few stripes.
    It seems like I've run across more than a few posts here regarding the same problem happening on Dual 2.7's. You may want to do a more thorough search here to see what you come up with. All I can say is I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 Dual 2.0 with only 2.5 meg of RAM and have had no dropped frame issues.
    Try Matt's suggestion of playing some footage off of your boot drive (NOT recommended for everyday use!). If it works then it's got to be a problem with your RAID and not FCP.
    Good Luck!

  • How to overcome "dropped frame" issues on my project

    Hey reader,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 250GB hd (85GB free just now) running 10.4.11, FCE HD 3.5 (and QT 7.5.5) and using a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 (which is works BEAUTIFULLY with iMovie 08 and 6 and is always used with Sony tapes) and I am not able to "capture" the tape content to my MacBook Pro because of the "dropped frame" issue.
    The camera is connected to the external hard drive chain via Firewire cable to the MacBook Pro and I was trying to capture to the internal hard drive. I am in the UK and am still struggling to get my head around the different frame rates but initially I got the dreaded "dropped frames were encountered during the last capture attempt" and it just wouldn't work, so I unselected the report dropped frames tab and abort capture in User Preferences as was suggested on here.
    Now I get "Capture encountered a problem reading data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved" but the tape is fine (heads are also clean) as I had to (under time pressure, me) use iMovieHD 6 instead and it worked like a CHARM.
    What can I do to use this software?
    I KNOW I can import the iMovie footage but the disadvantage is the eternal rendering, I guess. I only ever used it once (because of its difficulties) and that was for pre-existing footage from iMovie and it was OK if not perfect. Just had to have a few hours extra for the constant rendering in preview...
    Should I try to capture to one of the external hard drives? I read that the internal might be a problem as it is busy with the operating system jobs.
    Please and thank you.

    I got some dropped frames last night and posted this before noticing your post:
    There can be a number of reasons for getting dropped frames during capture.
    Yesterday I videoed a relative's wedding (in HDV) and on getting home late I captured the footage into FCP 6.0.3 only to find in a couple of places I got an abort on dropped frames.
    This morning I decided to recapture and did so without a single dropped frame.
    Why ? ......... there are several possibilities.
    It could be that there was some physical problem with the tape or camera heads but I believe it was most likely caused by my camera's power supply.
    Last night I used the battery whilst this morning I plugged in the power connector.
    I feel that this provided a more constant supply of full power and helped prevent frames from being dropped. (The fact I was using FCP is immaterial as the dropped frames would almost certainly have also occurred in FCE).
    From now on I will always use the power connector during transfer to and from the camera.

  • Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players?

    Hi,
    ... and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond. I am evaluating different protocls for different client platforms, and I'd like to know the following...
    Which media server protocols enable frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players? (It appears that RTMP does. However, what about HDS? What about HLS?)
    Why is it that some do and some don't? (Intuitively, this would seem to be more an issue of the player than the protocol, but then maybe it has something to do with the buffers and the specific information passed to the client.)
    For those protocols that do support frame accurate seeking and frame stepping in players, does the addition of Access DRM protection have any effect? (Intuitively, I would say no, but then maybe there are configuration changes needed in AMS to make it work.)
    Thanks!

    I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
    I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
    Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

  • Some GIFs and JPGs appearing with yellow "wash" when loading in Safari

    Hi,
    I've flicked through forums, google, and called my top graphics people but nobody can seem to help, or has ever even heard of, my issue.
    Here it is in a nutshell:
    Some GIFs and JPGs appear with a yellow "wash" when being loaded in Safari. I can confirm this is happening on 3 different Macs, and even on a PC running Safari.
    Safari 3.1.1 on Windows XP
    Safari 3.1.2 on Mac OSX 10.5.5
    Here's some examples of it occurring:
    http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.jpg
    http://staging.tomatosource.com.au/test/bad.gif
    You might need to refresh the page in Safari a couple of times to see the flicker but it's there.
    I've tried:
    - resaving images with and without "progressive" and "interlaced"
    - a variety of different colour palettes
    - taking a screenshot of the image, putting back into Photoshop and resaving
    Has anybody seen this issue before? Unfortunately I can't go live with this site until I fix this very strange error.
    Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Jase.

    Totally independently from your current problem, Safari is cr@p. Dump it.
    All Apple applications, from the Finder through Preview and iPhoto to Safari, assign Monitor RGB to ALL untagged images, even if they were created or saved in sRGB.
    The only current properly color-managed web browser is Firefox 3.0.1. Just keep in mind that you have to enable color management deep inside the guts of Firefox.

  • Bridge: why can't I add any metadata to gif and pct files???

    Not sure what the issue is here with Adobe Bridge and gif and pct files, but Bridge won't let me add any metadata or keywords.
    With keywords, Bridge displays a window saying that pct and gif files can't add xmp metadata.
    Is there something I'm missing in my settings? Or should I just go ahead and convert all my gif and pct files to jpegs, tiffs or psd.

  • Jpeg export size and quality issues

    aloha,
    I use a lot of photos in articles on the web and size them to about 250 x 166 pixels. I just tested Aperture, Photoshop CS2, Fireworks 8, and Graphic Converter at levels of low, med, high or 30, 60, 80 or 4, 6, 9.
    The best quality in terms of sharpness, clarity and color was PS CS2, with Aperture second. But Photoshop's files were 12, 24 and 36 k respectively, where the Aperture files were 72, 74 and 88k. In fact even at quality 0, the Aperture-generated jpeg was 64k. Fireworks were 4, 8 and 16k but surprisingly poor quality. Graphic converter was 116, 120, and 124k, with decent quality.
    It appears that Adobe's engine is more adept at re-sizing and compressing (not entirely surprising). It leaves me with a bit of a workflow issue, since opening the files from Aperture into CS2 leaves me with a gigantic .tiff in Aperture I don't need.
    Full size jpegs could be exported from Aperture to a folder, then opened in Photoshop, resized, and saved for the web. I can automate the Photoshop part of it, but would need some help automating the whole process.
    Any information and suggestions folks have would be appreciated! I am curious as to why there is a floor on the Aperture jpeg sizes. Maybe I need to turn some option off? I'd love to keep my workflow within a single program.....

  • Stutter and frame drops during streaming?

    After selling my 1st gen for the new Apple TV- I finally got around to streaming a movie from my itunes library. Several times I lost connection. The screen went black for a second than clicked back on. I also experienced poor playdown of the file. It was clearly dropping frames. I am streaming from a 7200 internal disk off a Macpro.
    My speed is:
    download - 51.28Mb/s
    Upload - 5.11Mb/s
    I am paying for turbo boost road runner service- so I assume this fast enough.
    I used to synced +movies to watch+ to my 1st gen's hard drive and off course they played fine.
    I was afraid this streaming nonsense would be an issue- but gave trust to Apple and assumed they had it nailed.
    I haven't tried netflix streaming yet- but It has NEVER hiccuped on my PS3- so I'm curious (and scared) to try it on Atv.
    Anyone figure out how to improve the performance?

    There's a whole thread on the stuttering / dropped frames issue, although I can't comment on whether this is the exact issue you're experiencing. There's lots of info but currently no fix:

  • Official comment from Apple about the drop frame issue?

    Is Apple going to firmware fix the skipping drop frame issue on the Apple tv?
    Or is it hardware related?
    Too many of us seem to have experienced this issue for it not to be addressed.
    It shouldn't be difficult to fix.
    My 1st gen atv was fine.
    I should have kept it.

    Hopefully it can be fixed. Seeing as Apple has not even acknowledged it I returned mine yesterday since I was coming up on my 30 day return deadline. At least this way I'm not stuck with a device that has a hardware issue.
    As of yesterday I have seen this issue on 10 different New Apple TV units, all on different HD sets, different network setups etc. Half of the owners had never noticed it. Two of those were adamant they did not have the problem and one of those still insisted they didn't after I spotted it multiple times. So while the issue has been present on 100% of the units I have seen, its not necessarily noticeable to everyone. I have noticed its much easier to spot on larger displays and when the display quality itself is higher, for example easier to spot on a higher quality 61" 1080p set than a lower quality 720p 26".
    If you have the option I would return the unit. Worse case is your don't have the unit, which is not functioning 1005 anyway, for a short period and then grab it again if the issues get addressed.

  • Potential workaround for green frame issue

    Hi,
    We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
    To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
    Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
    Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.
    </Lib>
    </config>
    should be replaced with 
    <Video>
    <EnableWideSupport>0</EnableWideSupport>
    </Video>
    </Lib>
    </config>
    Please try this and post if it solved your issue.
    Thank you in advance

    In addition to the above fix, we would be grateful if you were experiencing green video that you help us by doing this:

  • 720p60 P2/HD Dropped Frame Issue

    I'm having a dropped frame issue in FCP with some P2 720-60p footage. I can't get it to play through a sequence without freezing and giving me a warning. We've narrowed it down to an apparent processor issue. There are two tracks of audio (a stereo pair), and two tracks of music (again, a stereo pair). When we turn off the music, the sequence plays fine. But when the music goes back on, the sequence chokes. The funny thing is, I just did an HD project shot in 24p/n with several tracks of audio and several tracks of video and, aside from needing to render certain things, it played fine.
    Any ideas?
    Here are the specs:
    P2 footage originated in 720/60p
    AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS:
    Sequence Preset: DVCPro HD 720p60
    Video Playback: None (there isn't an output card for this computer).
    SEQUENCE SETINGS:
    Frame Size: 960x720 (HD 960x720 16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)

    Any ideas here?

    Then it's pointing at a throughput problem between the RAID and the server I'll guess. Trouble shooting that could be interesting. Can you move the media to a local drive?
    I'd also be interested to see what AJA's read/write speeds are on that RAID from your station...
    Post the gear between your mac and the server etc.. whose RAID is it, How is it formatted? Got a model number of each of the devices involved? Mac Server?

    You've selected the "Easy setup" for the format you're editing too, right?

  • Rotated image/frame issue

    I'm using Frame 8 and Acrobat 3D 8 and having issues with rotated images or frames. When printing to paper, the graphics are fine, but if I print to PDF, the top of the image is cropped. Text lines are visible but the top inch of the imported graphic is not. I wonder if this is a setting in Acrobat or a Frame issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    > I have tried using jpg
    Jpeg is a particularly bad format for screen captures. Tiff would be
    better; I don't know enough about png. Ages ago, in a much earlier
    version, I had trouble with large bitmaps printing properly in Frame
    (not exactly the same problem - they were printing fine for about 3/4 of
    the page and then it printed all "bunched up" and the bottom 1/4 didn't
    print). I started using EPS (bitmap eps, saved from Photoshop). This not
    only solved the problem, it had the added benefit of displaying much
    faster (because the eps files had only a low-res preview, so Frame
    didn't hesitate on each graphic to read in the whole file).
    I'd be happy to look at one of your pngs, see if it works here, but I'm
    on Frame 7 (just ordered Frame 9), so I'm not sure if my results would
    be relevant. Zip and send to kbenson at pegtype dot com

  • DV material/8mm bottom fram issue

    Hi guys, if anyopne has ever used final cut to import and edit some 8mm/hi8/D8 material, I was wondering if you could explain to me how to not have the bottom of the fram line. Its very smal but its always at the bottom of the fram. Like a sort of distortion or something. I hope that kinda makes sense, its hard to describe without a screen shot. I wonder if this is jsut a 8 mm thing only. If I remember correct I beleive imovie used to do it as well. Is there anyway of not having it or is it a thing to live with. Thanks if you need better details please ask. I am sorry I have no screen shot as I have to use public internet as I don't have net right now. Hope this all made some sense. Ciao
    Nathan

    The skew is a result of timing errors that are often present in analog recordings. You can reduce them through inserting a time base corrector (tbc) between the analog source and the digitizer.
    The Canopus ADVC-300 has a line tbc built in which can help. It won't be as effective as a full frame tbc but the device comes software to help you deal with chroma shift and other issues before the material is captured. It can save a fair bit of time if you are dealing with a lot of material.
    good luck,
