GIF individual frame timing

I have a GIF that uses variable framerates throughout. It plays back correctly in web browsers, and opening it in GIMP shows the time for each frame. If I import it into Premiere CS6, it plays at a constant average framerate.
Is there a way to preserve the correct frame timing without cutting and splicing several copies of the source GIF?

Animated GIF ignoring frame timing

I am trying to create simple animated GIFs with a few layers
of text that simply fade in and fade out in sequence. My initial
attempt worked perfectly. Most frames use the default 7/100's of a
second delay as they fade. A few frames were manually set to much
longer delays so that the text pauses, before fading out to be
replaced by the next text.
When I reopened the file, to adjust the background color, and
then re-saved it, the GIF now plays straight through, ignoring the
timing of each frame. Nothing I do now can get it to pause on the
appropriate frames. I've tried cutting the symbols out and pasting
them into a new file, removing the animation from the symbols and
reapplying it, etc.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Open and edit animated .gif while preserving frame timing

CS4 Premium Design Edition, Win XP
I was disappointed with the removal of Image Ready from CS3 because although some of the functionality was placed into Photoshop 10, there was no way to open and edit an existing animated .gif while preserving the timing of each individual frame. I was told on the PS forum at the time that I really needed to use Fireworks. I resented that, because I was very happy with Image Ready and I didn't want to have to learn a new application just to gain functionality that had been included in previous versions of PS/IM.
I've now got CS4 Premium Design Edition which of course includs Fireworks... and here's what Help has to say on the subject of imported .gifs.
"Note: When you import an animated GIF, the state delay setting defaults to 0.07 seconds. If necessary, use the States panel to restore the original timing."
This is no use to me. What if I don't know the individual frame timings? What if there are 200 frames with varying timings?
Simple question: which current Adobe product is capable of importing a .gif while retaining the frame timings? If anyone knows, or if I've misunderstood the nature of the Fireworks Help quote above, I'd really appreciate some input here. Thanks :)
Not so simple question: why was an excellent gif-editing application thrown out to have its functionality partially replaced by a bunch of scripts and half-effective workarounds cooked up by desperate users ("import a gif by using the video import and typing *.* into the filename box..")? It's a fair question I think.

Hi Bob, that's not glib at all, it's a reasonable question.
I uninstalled it along with everything else when I installed CS3, in the reasonable expectation that whatever replaced IR would be at least equal in functionality.
Perhaps I should just dig out CS2 and install IM from there, but I have some serious reservations about doing so, because I don't know if/how a partial install of CS2 will impact upon my installation of CS4, and I'm not confident of getting support.
I am also curious to know if/why Adobe actually removed basic functionality without replicating or replacing it in their other software. I really want to know: which recent, currently supported Adobe product
should I be using in order to regain this functionality? Or do Adobe no longer produce a geniuinely comprehensive .gif-editing application?

How do I display the individual frames of a clip in the timeline?

I've imported an image sequence into Premiere Pro and dragged it into a video track so it shows up as a clip. So far, so good. But when I click on the display options for the track and "Show Frames", all it gives me are these large, unhelpful thumbnails along the the length of the clip that don't even match the timeline ruler at the top. I can't select individual frames to shuffle them around or delete them. I've tried looking in Preferences, View, etc., all over the internet through different forums, and right clicking everywhere in every window to try and find an option to turn on an individual frame view, and I found zilch. Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

No, it's not. The 'order' of animation is something that has to be carefully planned and tweaked by the animator, and anyway, there are different kinds of animation. Some is completely abstract, without any apparent order. And if all you have is a raw image sequence, like I do, then sometimes you have mistakes in one frame that were corrected in another, and you want to find them and take them out, not to mention experimenting with the timing. Let's say you have a motion that makes an arc in 12 drawings. If you take out 2 or 3 at different places towards the end, you can give the appearance that the animation subject complete the arc at an accelerated pace without the motion seeming 'incorrect.'
What I need to do is to be able to grab and pull individual frames like this so I can properly put together my project.

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage? I can do on individual frames but don't know ho

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage in CC? I can do on individual frames but don't know how to batch process .
How do I save it after? Render?

To fill in the void in the background, you can use the clone tool. However, for a large area that may not work well.
A good alternative is to use a "digital patch". With the rectangular marquee tool , select a pleasing substitute from somewhere else in the picture (not a fire hydrant!), then place this on its own layer (CTRL+J), and with the move tool position the patch and resize it if indicated
You should also explore the Recompose tool (ALT+CTRL+R) which may work well for your purpose.

Time of Individual Frame in IPhoto: Redux Clarification

Cannot adjust time of individual frame in slideshow IN IPHOTO 08 itself. Time choice "frozen' at the standard 3 secs setting for the rest of the slideshow. The button in 'ADJUST' selection doesn't respond to mouse click.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following: close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and see if that helps.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in the library rebuild pane, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.

How to animate/delay individual frames in Flash CS3

I need to animate 12 layers and I need layer 1 to be 2
seconds, layer 2 at .5 seconds and so on......
How do you change the individual frame delay in Flash CS3 so
that they don't just keep animating fast and never stopping??
Help!!

Hmmm - not sure i understand your issue. F5 (insert frames)
will lengthen
the "exposure" of the layer. As to how to prevent them from
"animating
fast" - I don't understand what you are referring to - do you
need to change
the frame rate? When you say "never stopping" what do you
mean? Flash loops
by default in the player (playhead goes from last frame back
to frame 1 and
continues to loop).

Use preloader for individual frames?

I have followed this video on how to build a preloader and I was able to incorporate it into my own site. Now, I'm wondering now how to build a preloader for individual frames. For example, I have a link called "Videos" that, when clicked, jumps to frame 10. This is where I have all the videos visible in the main content area of my site. However, I'd like to add a preloader so that as the videos load, visitors can see the progress. Is there a way I can reuse the preloader.swf file I have already built for individual frames of my main site?
Here is the code for the preloader.swf file which consists of a single dynamic text field located in the center called preloaderTxt:
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
l.load(new URLRequest("WebsiteTest.swf"));
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
    var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
    preloaderTxt.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString() + "%";
function done(e:Event):void
    removeChildAt(0);
    preloaderTxt = null;
    addChild(l);

(1)Java class name should begin with a capital letter. See: http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/
        JButton save = new JButton("Save");
        JButton save2 = new JButton("Save and add another");
        // ... etc. ...(2)Don't redeclare class members in a method as its local variable. Your class members become eternally null, a hellish null.

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames?

Does Photoshop CS6 Extended allows users to crop individual frames? As in just one segment of the video? If so, how is it done?

Hi there
The Crop tool in Photoshop functions by cropping the entire image area - however, you can use a Layer Mask to edit an indiviual video or animation frame, as shown below.
1. Start by importing your video or animation in Photoshop, making sure to convert frames to layers (File > Import > Video Frames To Layers...). Go to your layers panel and select the frame you'd like to crop. Turn on the visibility of the layer by clicking on the small check box to the left of the layer icon - it should turn into an eye as shown below. Then, click the "Add vector mask" icon highlighted below.
2. Next, select the Rectangular Marquee tool (or use an alternative selection method if you want a different shape) and draw a seelction around the part of your video/animation you want to keep.
3. Go to Select > Inverse to select the inverse of the area you just selected.
4. Grab the Paint Bucket Tool and fill the selected area with pure Black (#000000). This will effectively "crop" the layer you have selected. You can see below that the layer underneath my selected layer is now showing through where I filled the selection with black.
The great thing about using a mask is that you can edit it or delete it altogether if need be. Note though that the area you mask will show up as transparent pixels in your Timeline panel - you can see the layer I edited on the far right of my timeline in the screenshot above.
Please post again if you need additional help, or if what I demonstrated is not what you were trying to do.
Cheers!

How to Edit individual frames

I'd like to touch up a problem in about a couple of hundred or so frames in an iMovie HD project that is otherwise complete. If it was a still, I could easily copy an adjacent region and paste it over the bad pixels in the problem area. If I could edit individual frames, I could copy the area once, and paste it into each frame.
It doesn't seem possible in iMovie itself. I've tried downloading some third party software, including a plugin for iMovie, but none worked.
What are the recommendations?
Thank you

'BTV Pro' has a feature to "average" several frames together. "..To create a noise-free image, the frame averaging feature takes a number of frames from the video input and averages them together to produce a single image. This can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, the noise in the video signal. This works because the image is constant but the noise is quickly varying so over several frames it averages to zero.."
But perhaps the adjustment you want is more drastic. (..And I don't know if 'BTV Pro' is a 'Universal' app, so it may need to run in 'Rosetta' on a MacBook - thus making it a bit slower than usual..)
As for other "copy and paste" movie-editing programs; 'MediaEdit Pro' (..there's a free trial download..) lets you 'paint' on video frames, but I don't know if that lets you do subtle touch-ups ..read more about it on their website.

INdividual Frames disappear

I am having problems with the individual frames on the
timeline disappearing. I have reset the settings multiple times and
cannot find any settings to put the individual frames back on. It
seems like a system wide preference because all users on the
machine have the same issue. Can anyone help?

A few things:
How much time are you willing to devote to finding a precise frame among the hundred of thousands that would be generated in single 12-hour period? Actually, it would be 1,294,704 in 12 hours; I did the arithmetic. Wouldn't the closest second be adequate?
Virtual Dub? For your ends, I say, "Ugh!"
Attaching a camera to a tree isn't a bad idea; attaching a camera to a sapling or a very young tree is a different story. You need a stable mount.
Apparently the exposure of the image isn't a very big concern, which is fine if it's okay with you.
In AE, you can run video backwards. You can use Time Remapping, or you can go to the Stretch panel and set it to negative 100. You'd have to move the clip in the timeline if you use it.
All in all, I get the notion that you're trying to use AE for something it wasn't designed to do. It's primarily for effects and compositing of images shot for commercial video/film production.
Engineers, while a being a most admirable group of individuals, aren't necessarily the prime users of the application. You might want to investigate other avenues.
Now, I hope for your sake that I'm all wet in my remarks. I hope other people have better solutions than mine for your situation. Time will tell.

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto?

How do I import individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? Or how do I export individual frames from iMovie into iPhoto? My final goal is to have a DVD of individual photos from a video I recently shot. Thanks

Here is one way to do it, although you will see there could be variations.
1) Open iMovie
2) Start a new project - name it Stills for iPhoto (or a name of your choice)
3) Go to your EVENT. Find the spot with the cursor that you want a photo of. Right-click (or control-click if you don't have a mouse) and select ADD STILL FRAME TO PROJECT.
4) The photo should be in the Project called Stills for iPhoto.
5) Right-click (control-click) on the photo and select REVEAL IN FINDER.
6)When the finder window opens, right-click and select COPY. Go to your Desktop or a folder of your choice and right-click PASTE
7) Drag the photo from your Desktop to iPhoto

How to write individual frames from a media file to a file.And also play it

Hi,
How do i access indivual media frame and save it to another file. One way is to use Cut.java, but i am unable to cut the frames repeatedly.
I want to Seek an individual frame in the media and then write the frame to a file.
regards.
devendra.

FrameGrabbingControl allows you to grab a frame. but you cant directly write from that frame. Do i have to create a dataSink.
Actually i tried to do one thing that is, I used the cut program. But from that i can not repeatedly take out frame as media data.

Re: How to segment a video file into it's individual frames?
