I get a black frame at the head using image sequence every time

I am using tif frames number 1-xxxxxxxx and each conversion adds black frames to the Qtime movies when there are none in any of my sequences.

Hi guys. So we did some testing. Using the original presets, it works. However, if I change the quality settings in any configuration, it will always output the black frames at the head. It can be any combination or just one setting adjustment and it will add the black frames.
However, we found that if the sequence is renumbered to start from frame '0' ( this was discovered by accident ), then it will work, regardless of the quality adjustments.
The quality settings I am referring to are 'Resize Filter', 'Retime Quality', 'Adaptive Detail' etc etc. If any one of these are changed from default settings, it will add the black frames.
We can only presume this to be a bug? The big issue though, is that we have hundreds of clips that start at frame 1. We can of course not change the default settings but that means we cannot make adjustments.
Cheers
Pat

  • Why am I getting a black frame when I'm trying to add a freeze frame?

    Why am I getting a black frame when I'm trying to add a freeze frame?

    There are a few ways to make a freeze frame. What exactly are you doing? Using the hold function? Connecting a freeze frame? Exporting a still frame? Happens it's because of the specs of your media. What are they?

  • Why do I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen when I import a clip in Imovie?

    I import a clip into imovie 6 and I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen. It's driving me crazy!

    Thanks for the reply.
    My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
    My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
    The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
    I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
    MP4
    h.264 codec
    720x405
    1000 video bit rate
    Main Profile
    No cropping/filters or anything.
    The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
    I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
    Thoughts?

    Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
    Although I'm not able to see on the screen.

    First try a restore from backup
    If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
    If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    System Preferences can also be found in the Hard drive -> Applications folder.
    Resetting the PRAM can help bring displays back to factory settings if you can't find what you need:

  • When I put in a scroll in fcx, I get a single frame of the scroll flashing on the screen about a second or two before the scroll appears. There is nothing on the timeline and this only appears after I have made the quicktime or dvd. Any thoughts?

  • Compressor adding white frames at the head of the movie converted

    i used compressor to convert footage from mp4 to Apple prores 1024x576 16x9 and also change different frame rates to 25 fps
    I resized all the big videos to 1024x576 and maintained the smaller videos like 640x360 in its original size as i will composite them together to maintain quality.
    everything went well as compressor makes a very good job in resizing and frame rate coversion.
    i noticed that compressor added at the head of the movies a white frame on most of the converted movies
    and after importing the movies to fcp 6  i found that every time i use a movie with a white frame in the head Fcp crashes.
    is it because of the frame rate as i noticed that the white frames are in the movies with for example 23.98 that were conformed to 25.
    i cannot edit because of fcp quits.

    What do you have the most of? 1920, 1280, SD?
    What is the final deliveable? web, broadcast, blu-ray, SD DVD?
    Maintaining the aspect ratio can be done in your sequence settings whether your sequence is HD or SD.
    640x360 will still only fill about 1/2 of the 1280x720 screen at 100%.
    You can scale it to fill the screen but you will take a quality hit.
    In most cases putting 1920 in a 1280 sequence isn't going to make the baby jesus of quality cry.
    In my experience upscaling SD outside of FC in another program doesn't usually help with quality.
    I do the scaling in FC and know that I will have to render. I would still use Compressor for the frame rate codec conversion but do not change the source size unless you are converting to a more friendly broadcast size.
    You may want to consider that SD footage doesn't have to fill the entire screen.
    You can do other treatments to the footage so that you still fill the entire screen but the actual footage isn't being scaled to fill the entire screen. Blurred footage, stills, etc for a background can help with this.

  • I have the new iPad and I could not use I tunes , every time I get an error says "cannot connect to itunes store " please help

    I have the new iPad and I could not use I tunes , every time I get an error says "cannot connect to itunes store " please help

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

    With that one, perhaps first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel. Does that clear up the error?

  • Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
    So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.

  • On the ES2, how do I get a pitch modulation (Pitch123) modulated by LFO2 to retrigger every time i hit a new key?

    On the ES2, how do I get a pitch modulation (Pitch123) modulated by LFO2 to retrigger every time i hit a new key?
    I understand this can be done with the LFO1, however, ideally I'd like this synced to the beat as can be done with the LFO2 but not the LFO1...
    I hope that's clear enough.

    You've discovered the limitation.  The way I see it, you have 3 work-arounds:
    1) Figure out the Hz equivalent to your bpm division and set LFO1 accordingly (google "bpm to hz calculator").
    2) Time your notes to coincide with LFO2's timing (re-write your music and live with it!).
    3) Set up the vector envelope with a synced sustain loop.
