Help - error in reading frame from file

Hi there
Couldn't find any reference to this particular problem after searching around a whole load.
I had my Mac crash on me a few days ago and since then I've been only able to work on my current project for ten minutes at a time before I get the above dialogue come up.
It's not just this file that suffers from this and there doesn't appear to be a pattern to which file is affected. The files that are mentioned in the dialogue are outputs from both FCP and from AE itself, they are always Quicktimes and they are compressed with the Animation codec, although I've used a number of other codecs and it doesn't seem to make any difference. If I quit and restart AE, I can continue working for a while on a composition with the same file that caused the dialogue to appear, until it happens again, often with a different file mentioned in the dialogue.
We have re-installed the CC suite after an uninstall and clean-up, but to no avail.
Anyone else had this problem?
Do we need to reinstall the OS? Could it be a quicktime thing?
Many thanks for you help in advance.

  • Can't read frame from file

    We use proxies in our work flow, pre-rendering certain comps before rendering out the final project. For the most part this works fine, but occasionally we'll get an error that reads: "Error (4) reading frame from file." It's always the same comp but it doesn't cause the problem in every project.
    We use the quicktime codec with Tiff compression. Could it be a memory issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The error always pops up at the most inconvenient time -- of course.
    Thanks,
    Julian

    Well, if it's always the same file, then most likely one of the source footages is really damaged. The error not occuring every time mustn't mean anything. If the element in question is not visible at the given frame or AE doesn't do anything with it because it isn't required, naturally the error would not occur. I'm afraid the only way to track this down is to selectively disable/ remove the sources from the comps in question and render some test clips. Perhaps it would also help to check all the files used in the project in a "neutral" app such as external image and video viewers (XnView, VLC, MediaPlayer Classic...)

    Actually it's the first time I tried to set up one.
    I Basically followed this guide [1] adopting it to arch.
    That's where i got my nginx.conf from. Taking the standard nginx.conf that comes by install and replacing the server part.
    After some searching I found the owncloud manual[2] with an example nginx.conf. Comparing that with my one I found some differences. Applying them works out fine.
    I get now the owncloud page.
    The systemd error  still ocurs, but I think it does not matter to run the server.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Reading Metadata From File Resets the Setting

    I am using Lightroom 4 on MAC OS X Yosemite. I have done some editing on a picture in DNG format and then clicked "Save Metadata to File".  I checked the XMP file with textedit and found that the change is indeed saved. But when I click "Read Metadata From File", it resets the pictures before any editing. Please, I need help to fix this problem.

    I'm confused - I'm pretty-sure Lightroom 4 will not save changes to an xmp file (even if DNG is read-only, unlike Bridge) - it embeds the metadata in the DNG file. Did you mean you edited the DNG file with a text editor? Anyway, if you do have a .xmp sidecars to your DNG, I recommend deleting them, or renaming them (until you figure out what's going on anyway), then retry - any difference?
    PS - last I checked, Lr will generate an error when saving metadata if DNG is read-only, but since you're having a strange problem, I'd definitely make sure they are not read-only.
    Note: Lr WILL read metadata from an xmp sidecar, *iff* it seems newer than what is embedded. So, IF you have xmp sidecars that have a recent modification date, or *maybe* (I don't really know) if Lr was NOT able to successfully embed metadata into your DNG, it could be reading some incompatible metadata from the xmp sidecar - thus the reason to get it out of the way to test..

  • Reading data from file in EJB

    I would like to read data from files in EJBS (Stateless Session Bean I think). I've heard that the EJB sepcifications don't allow to use the java.io package to access the filesystem. How can I resolve this problem? Possible solutions I've thought of are:
    * Use a webserver to store the data
    * put the files in a jar and access them using the getResource() in the classloader class
    Could you comment on this plesae
    greetings

    The specification states:
    "An enterprise bean must not use the java.io package to attempt to access files and directories in the file system.
    The file system APIs are not well-suited for business components to access data. Business components should use a resource manager API, such as JDBC, to store data."
    From this I understand I cannot acces files directly, but it does not specifiy I can't use the java.io package at all. It specifically says not to use the java.io package to acces files and directories, they don't say anything about using the classes for other use.
    however, a litle lower the specification states:
    "The enterprise bean must not attempt to create a class loader; obtain the current class loader; set the context class loader; set security manager; create a new security manager; stop the JVM; or change the input, output, and error streams.
    These functions are reserved for the EJB Container. Allowing the enterprise bean to use these functions could compromise security and decrease the Container�s ability to properly manage the runtime environment."
    I'm not sure how to interpret this, but I believe this rule makes my solution invalid.
    Please comment on this,
    thanks

  • Bug: Keywords behave incorrectly after "Read Metadata from File"

    (Happens in LR3.4 RC and probably also in previous versions... but I am not sure if it happened in LR2)
    The problem seems tro be somthing like de-sync of database status and what we see on the screen.
    1) Let's say we have a photo with keyword "abc"
    2) Click in the Keyword List on the arrow around the "abc" keyword to show only photos with this keyword (single one), leave the filter on this settings
    2) Save Metadata to File
    3) Edit XMP in an external application, add new keyword "def"
    4) Read Metadate from File
    5) Now what happens is: The photos disappers from the screen as if it lost the "abc" keyword (weird), but if you look at the Keyword List, the "abc" keyword has still 1 photo attached to it. Also, if you release the filter and find the photo, it clearly has the "abc" and "def" keywords in the Keywording panel. And you can search for this keyword in the text filter (works correctly), but if you click on the arrow around the "abc" keyword, the photo is not shown.
    6) If you restart the Lightroom, it will work correctly again.
    I have an own application that is able to modify the XMP and the modifications may not be perfect, but in my opinion, this shouldn't happen when reading the metadata. If any developer is reading this, I can supply a file with original and changed metadata for debugging.
    It would be great it this could be resolved.
    Thanks!

    The code given to you as an example demonstrates how to open the file, read a line of data from it, and split that line into parts.
    You are given the format of the file, and example data.
    So - given that you know how to read a line of data from the file and split it into parts, and given that you know what the lines of the file look like - can you write out in your native language what you need to do, using "read a line", "split the line into pieces", "use the nth piece" operators, to process the file? If you can, then do, and convert that to Java. If you can't, then you need to back up and understand your problem better, then try to write out your solution in your native language.
    If you run into any specific, technical problems come back and ask away
    Good Luck

  • Bug: "Read metadata from file"

    When I add GPS coordinates to a file (with the program Geotagger) and select "read metadata from file" to import the new metadata, a color adjustment badge appears on the thumbnail (even though I didn't adjust any colors). This only happens with files that have a cropping applied to them in Lightroom. If the file doesn't have a custom cropping the color adjustment badge doesn't appear. It happens with both JPG and CR2 files. Seams like a bug to me.
    I'm on a 24" iMac 2.8 with 4 GB and OSX 10.5.5 / Lightroom 2.1

    It also happens with DNG. Anyway, I don't think it has anything to do with the GPS, but the issue has been around right back through version 1.x Try the following:
    1. Select an image that has no crops or develop adjustments
    2. Switch to Develop module
    3. Apply a crop
    4. Save metadata to file (Cmd+S)
    5. Read metadata back from file (Metadata menu - "Read Metadata from file"
    Please report what happens?
    At my end the Crop badge remains but a Develop Adjustment badge also appears - IMO it shouldn't, but as stated above it has for a VERY long time. I'll bug it again and see what happens.

  • Batch read metadata from file

    Hi Everybody,
    I wonder if Lightroom 3 offers a function that lets me read metadata from file for multiple images in a batch process. The reason is that I have changed the GPS information for quite a couple of my pics using the Geoencoding Support pluging from Jeffrey Friedl and let it write back into the DNG-file. Since I also flushed the shadow data I can't see any GPS information in my metadata table in Lightrrom even though the data are present in the DNG. Now the real question is: Is there a better way to get my GPS data into Lightroom than emptying the Library and reimport all of my pics?
    Oh, and before I forget it: Yes, I have searched this forum - and a couple of others as well - and I found stuff about batch processing date/time information. However, the method presented there apparently does not apply to my problem.
    Thanks for any information.
    Have a nice day,
    f.

    In Library Module, select Grid Mode. Select all images you wish to read metadata from. Go to Metadata>Read Metadata from Files
    Similarly, you can edit time for time zone/ AM-PM issues, etc by going to Metadata>Edit Capture Time

  • Read metadata from file cancel modifications !

    Hi,
    I use Lightroom 1.1 in french. I made some photo (in raw but in jpeg the result is the same) and import them in Lightroom with conversion in DNG. In Lightroom, in develop module, I crop, change contrast and som others.
    After that, I geotag my DNG files with HoudahGeo. HoudahGeo write geotag in the file. So back in Lightroom, I make a 'Read metadata from file' ('Lire les métadonnées depuis les fichiers' in french) for having geotag in Lightroom.
    Geotag are now in Lightoom, nice, but in develop history, I have a new line 'Rénitialiser les paramètres' !!! So I can't see all my modifications... Is it normal ?
    Thank you
    PS: Sorry for my english...

    I think you should test this with one or two pictures - import/convert, save metadata to file, geotag, read metadata. Also try import/convert, make small adjustment, save metadata to file, geotag, read metadata. In iView I often write metadata to DNG's that have been adjusted, then read the metadata in Lightroom - sometimes I add more data in iView and do more adjustments.
    I have seen the problem you describe, but it has been with raw files which I have adjusted in Lightroom but haven't saved out the metadata. I have then created an xmp sidecar in iView, and read the metadata in LR. So the sidecar had no ACR/LR instructions. The result was that my adjustments were wiped out. What I suspect is that something similar is happening with your DNGs - that conversion creates them but doesn't write the ACR/LR fields.
    So try a few alternative sequences.
