Imovie 11 using with isight, frame rate question

I am working in iMovie 11 and just tried the isight camera to record voice over. My project is 24 fps, but the isight camera seems to have recorded the clip at 30fps. Is there a way to retain 24fps project setting for isight camera use? In other words, can I set the camera for 24 fps, the way I do my cam corder?

Were you shooting on the Panasonic HVX-200 onto P2 cards in 720pn mode?
Yes, that's correct.
you should still make a DVD and watch the movie on a TV
I will do that; thanks for the advice.
if you are having these problems on your computer, there's always a chance that your client will have problems showing the file on the unknown computers
That has been a big part of my cause for concern. My friend (the one I'm working with on this project, who owns the equipment we're using) would prefer to burn it to a Blu-ray disc, but unfortunately we don't have access to a Blu-ray burner. So I'm thinking we should provide it as both a DVD and as a QuickTime file, to cover as many bases as possible.
Thanks again for your patience with novice questions. I've looked for books on these kinds of things, but everything I've found seems to either be written at the extreme beginner level ("this is how you upload video onto your computer"), or the extreme advanced level. Perhaps I haven't been looking in the right places; if you can suggest some good reading materials on this kind of thing, that would be great.

  • "Cannot play video with this frame rate&qu

    For reasons that aren't important here I cannot use the Zen video converting software. Instead, I've been using the trial version of the Caniusoft Video to Creative Zen converter. Only once has a video played, but as soon as I closed the video and opened it up again this message appeared. "Cannot play video with this frame rate." Daniusoft offers frame rates from 5 fps to 30. I've tried all of them and none of them work. Has this been a problem for others? Perhaps I need a different converter?
    ps.
    ..i'm converting flash video to avi. Does that make a difference?

    I can't answer your question in full (maybe somebody else can). However, I am aware that both the Zen and the Zen X-Fi can only play video files up to 320x240 resolution. Previous players like the Vision M were able to scale files down to this resolution on the fly, but not these two newer players.

  • Controlling Speed and other Frame Rate Questions!

    Hello After Effects Community!
    I have a few questions about a specific video situation I'm working with.
    I have footage in 720p at 60FPS. I want to slow down sections of the video by easing into slow motion. What FPS should my comp be? should I make the comp 29.97 or 24 and then bring in the 60 fps footage and time remap it?
    Basically I want to have it ply at normal speed and slow down a specific part and then have it speed up again. Help!

    Your composition settings should be decided based on how the final product is being presented.  If you're displaying in a cinema, you'll probably want 24fps.  If you're playing on a TV, or via DVD or BluRay, or on YouTube, you'll probably want to use the standard frame rate for the country you live in - 29.97 in the US, Japan etc.  25fps in Europe, Australia, New Zealand etc.   If you're doing some kind of high-end output, you may have the facility to use a high frame rate, but I suspect you'd already know about that if it were the case.
    Interpret the footage in AE at its correct frame rate (60fps in your case), then use Time Remapping to adjust the playback speed.

  • Understanding compositions with different frame rate

    Hey everyone,
    I am working with AVCHD footage with a frame rate of 25.
    If it drop my footage into a new compostion after affects sets everything
    up automatically.
    I'd now like to what happens to my avchd clip if I change the frame rate
    of my compostion from 25 to 24. What excatly happens to the frame
    missing? Does AE just gets rid of it?
    Does it make a difference if I just change my comp settings from 25 to 24
    or if I drop my 25 comp into a new one with 24.
    Thinking of it the other way around, if I change my frame rate from 25 to 50,
    does that mean that AE doubles the frames of my files?
    In general, does the changes have any impact on the speed of my footage?
    I'm looking forward to your reply. Much appreciated.
    Best,
    Alex
    PS: this count for Premier Pro aswell?

    When you create a layer in a composition, and that layer is based on a video footage item, the composition checks at each composition frame to see (sample) the data from the footage item. If there isn't a single frame of data from the footage item that exactly lines up with the frame in the composition, then the composition samples from the footage frames on either side and does one of several things: It can either just pick one of the two frames, or it can just mix them together, or it can do something much smarter and try to reconstruct the image that would have existed between the two frames.What it does depends on what frame blending setting you're using.
    When you're using a footage item that has a higher frame rate than your composition, and both frame rates are relatively high, you don't need to worry about this at all, as the default settings tend to work just fine.
    To sum up, changing the frame rate of the composition just changes how often the composition samples the image data from the footage item. It does nothing to the footage item itslef and doesn't affect how fast the video from that footage item plays in a layer.
    To interpret a footage item as being at another frame rate, or to conform a footage item to a frame rate, you have to use the Interpret Footage dialog box.

  • How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

    You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
    Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
    You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
    The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
    Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
    Have fun.

  • Cannot create slideshow with high frame rate

    I have just bought QuickTime Pro version 7. I am using Windnows XP SP2 on a Pentium D machine.
    I am trying to create a movie with still images I captured from my digital camera. I created a 10 seconds slideshow and set the frame rate to 30 frames per second. I then saved the file as a Quicktime movie. When I played the movie with my QuickTime Player, I could see actions for the first two seconds only. After that, the picture didn't change eventhough the progression bar was moving. Once the movie reached the end, the player then changed the frame to show the last picture of my slideshow.
    In short, only the first 60 images are shown in the first 2 seconds. Then the slideshow was stuck with the 60th image, until it changed to the 300th image at the very end.
    Does anybody has the same experience? Did I do anything wrong?

    One more thing. If I set the frame rate to be less than 10 frames per second, it works fine. It just won't work with high frame rate.

  • Why do I get "Publish Failed" when I select F4V with fixed frame rate?

    I have created several projects from scratch in Captivate 5. My publishing functionality seems to be increasingly impaired. I have rebooted and uninstalled + reinstalled Captivate 5.
    In the beginning I got this message when I was publishing a specific project with the media option F4V with fixed frame rate, but now I am getting it on all my projects regardless of my publishing selections.
    I am running on Windows 7, and I think it is Windows that is suggesting that I 'debug' the program. Clicking 'Debug' takes me to a dialog box where I can choose between Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008, none of which seem to be a good solution.
    Here is a print of my publishing options:

    Chinmay Baid,
    Thank you for your reply - over the past few days I have been able to
    narrow the problem down a little more.
    When working with Captivate 5, I am able to work with and open any
    published file until I turn that file into a Zip file.  Upon unZipping,
    the file becomes unusable by my computer and by my LMS (Cornerstone).
    I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS5 and I am able to run any SWF file
    on my machine if the file has never been zipped.  I am using Captivate 5
    in administrator mode.  Somehow, the zip process is making the files
    unusable, and my LMS requires that files be zipped before they can be
    uploaded.
    Thank you for any advice or help you may be able to offer.

  • High Latency with low frame rate

    I'm getting 30 seconds of latency (between source video and
    FME input window) when frame rate is set to 1.00 fps. With higher
    frame rates, latency is very low.
    Odd behavior: when switching from, say, 29.97 to 1.00 fps, I
    see every frame (no frames are dropped), but they paint at only 1
    per second (which means a large buffer is building somewhere).
    After several seconds, the behavior switches to the expected 1 fps
    (with all intervening frames dropped), but the whole thing is
    delayed by roughly 30 seconds.
    build: FME 2.5.0.2086
    format: H.264 or VP6 (happens with both)
    size: 352 x 240
    bit rate: 200 Kbps
    keyframe freq: 1 sec
    Am I doing something wrong?

    My encoding machine is a Gateway Pentium 4, 2 GHz with 1
    GByte RAM, Windows XP Service Pack 2.
    Video capture is done with a Pinnacle 510-USB peripheral,
    Pinnacle driver 4.0.46.0.
    Here's how I observe the problem: my input video is a color
    bar pattern with burned-in time code. When I switch frame rates
    from 29.97 fps to 1 fps, I see each and every frame appear in the
    Media Encoder monitor window (as verified by looking at the
    burned-in frame counter). However, only one 1 frame per second is
    rendered. For example, I first see 01:00:00:01, then 1 second later
    I see 01:00:00:02, then 1 second after that: 01:00:00:03, etc.
    After several seconds, I then begin to see the burned-in time
    code jumping in 1 second counts -- the expected behavior:
    01:00:20:13, next second: 01:00:21:13, next second: 01:00:22:13,
    etc.
    The problem occurs when switching from any rate lower than my
    source video rate of 29.97 fps, it's just that it's easier to
    describe what happens at the lower 1 fps rate.

  • Audio sync issues with variable frame rates as well as .ts files

    I'm using Premiere Pro CS6 and CC, in Windows 8.
    I bought an AverMedia Live Gamer HD card to capture 1080p footage with, and the the videos it produces work perfectly during playback. No sync issues whatsoever. I'm saving them as MP4 at 30fps.
    The problem is when I import them into Premiere Pro, the audio loses sync at certain points. After a bit of digging, I've discovered that the videos have a variable frame rate, which Premiere Pro does not support. I don't know why, considering competing products that are significantly cheaper can handle them with a problem, but oh well. The capture card can also save videos in .TS format, which produces a constant frame rate, however when I import them into Premire Pro the sync is immediately off by a second or more. I assume this is for an entirely different reason. Again, they play back normally without a problem. Upon emailing AverMedia, I was told this was Adobe's problem and there was nothing they could do about it.
    What I'm wondering is if there is any sort of realistic solution to this as of now. Is there any way that Premiere can work properly with files that have a variable frame rate? If not, is this being worked on?
    Or maybe there's a way to get the .TS files back in sync, that way the variable frame rate issue doesn't matter anyway.
    Converting the files is not a long term solution. I'm working with hours and hours of HD video, and it would take way too much time to do this.
    Manually resyncing the audio is also not a solution. Again, this would just be way too much wasted time with each project.
    The only solution I see as of now is to switch to Sony Vegas until this problem is resolved in Premiere, if it ever is. I'm really hoping there is some other way, so if anyone has an idea as to how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thank you.
    tl/dr:
    Is there any way to get around Premiere Pro not working with variable framerates? My .TS files are also out of sync, is there any way to fix that? Without converting or manually resyncing.

    >If not, is this being worked on?
    Discussed many times before... never a "yes" answer to your question... tell Adobe what YOU want at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    If enough people make a request, Adobe MAY add the feature (I don't work for Adobe, so no guarantee of anything)

  • Relink project clips with different frame rate

    Somehow the clips in my project sequence ended up with a different frame rate (25) than the original media files (23.95), and they are no longer linked -- maybe this happened during import from iMovie.  When I try to relink project files to source media, I get an error message saying they cannot be relinked because they have a different frame rate.  I changed the sequence framerate to 23.95 (by creating a new project with 23.95 as the frame rate, then copying and pasting the other timeline into it), but all the clips remain at 25, so the problem remains. 
    How can I change the clip properties to frame rate 23.95 so I can link to the original media?
    Thanks.

    The media got unlinked importing the project and events from iMovie to Final Cut.
    I've attached screen shots with all the specs.

  • How to render a video from image sequence with custom frame rate?

    Dear all,
    For a project i would like to create a video from 47 images with a custom frame rate. To achieve this i take the following steps in Photoshop CS6 extended:
    1) File -> Open...
    2) Select the first image and select " image sequence ". All images have the same size (1280 x 1261 px) and are numbered correctly.
    3) Click open
    4) Frame Rate: Custom 3 fps
    5) File -> Export -> Render Video... -> Render
    6) Play the video with VLC. The video shows a still image of the first image.
    If i choose a frame rate of 10 fps, then there is no problem. VLC plays the video as expected.
    Is there a other way to create a video from 47 images and choose a custom frame rate? Or what am i doing wrong?

  • Mac os x plus quick cams using UVC = slow frame rates...

    well i took your advice and picked up a logitech 9000 pro quickcam. this camera is uvc compatible and works out of the box on my macbook running 10.5.2.
    the issue i am now having is that the uvc driver is bare bones and doesn't give any way to change the high resolution and low frame rate. the result is that the camera while very sharp gives unacceptable performance approaching 5 fps in any application including quicktime recording.
    any ideas on how to resolve this annoyance? the uvc on the mac is unusable for me at this time because i communicate in American Sign Language and need normal smooth video that one gets with the built in i-sight.
    thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately, I've not located any OSX drivers or software that allow higher framerates with standard UVC cams. There are a couple of options for you though - run bootcamp and run XP when you need to do signing, using the Windows software and drivers that came with your 9000. Or, buy an old Sony video camera, anything with firewire out will do, and are always available on eBay for about what you paid for the 9000.

  • Working with multiple frame rates

    Hi- I unfortunately am dealing with a project where I'm dealing with potentially 3 different frame rates. I have some shot at 29.97ndf, some HDV captured using 1080i60 and some P2s converted for FCP and are at 23.98.
    I understand that FCP 6 can handle different frame rates in the same timeline, so... are all these different rates something I need to be concerned with? I'll need to cut these together into a single montage and my end product will be a DVD.
    Thanks for your help.
    Robert

    Thank you guys. Any specific ProRes? (there are so many of them). So... does this mean when I render it at 29.97 for NTSC all the 23.98 footage is going to get speed up like chipmunks?
    Thanks again.

  • How best to deal with multiple frame rates in storyline?

    Hey all, my lack of attention to detail may have cost me hours.  I have a movie I am working on and made the stupid assumption that all my clips are the same frame rate.  Don't ask why I didn't check - just sheer stupidity.
    So now I have numerous clips in the storyline all meticulously edited to sync with other clips, music, the whole nine.  Some source clips are 24p while others are 60i.  Do I really have to go back and convert each clip individually?  I am looking to preserve quality as much as possible, and I know getting 60i to 24p will create some loss, but is there a nice and easy way to do the converting all at once after I complete the storyline?
    Thanks in advance.  Time to go do something else while I wait for answers...

    on playback inside FCPX.
    And on export.
    you'll notice in the 'Retime Menu' the Option 'Conform Speed' - eg, when I add a 60p clip to my 25p Project, I get a wonderful smooth slomow, due to the 60fps get 'stretched' to 25fps.
    if I don't Conform Speed, the 60p get playbacked - in a 25p pProject! - in real time => no slowmo
    How 'good' FCPX does the marvel to down-cascade 60i into 24p ... try yourself.
    no interlaced material in use here.
    quality is in the eye of the beholder ...

  • Recording with constant frame rate in FMIS 3.5?

    I'm running into audio/video sync issues when converting .flv files to .avi files with FFMPEG 0.5. Is it possible to force FMS 3.5 to record video with a constant frame rate? I set the FPS vaule to 15, but that doesn't work. Setting bandwidth or quality to 0 doesn't do the trick either.
    public function onStatus( e:Event ):void {
                    publish_ns = new NetStream(nc);       
                    cam = Camera.getCamera();
                    cam.setMode(200,200,15);
                    cam.setQuality(100000, 100);
                    cam.setKeyFrameInterval(15);
                    publish_ns.attachCamera(cam);
                    publish_ns.attachAudio(mic);
                    webCam.attachCamera(cam);   
                    publish_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, statusHandler);
    When I check the metadata tags for the flv files with MediaInfo.exe it says "variable frame rate" for the FPS value.
