Imported GIF problem. 1 of 2 frames is incorrect.

Okay, I have imported a gif but it does not play correctly. It's only two frames. The first bmp associated with the gif in the library has both slides combined while the second bmp is correct.
To show the issue I am having. Here is the 2frame gif playing correctly: http://imgur.com/Bkpop.gif
(please ignore quality...it's just simple gif for a...yeah long story..anyway)
Now here is a screen shot of my library: http://imgur.com/wtlhr.jpg You can see how the highlights bmp is incorrect. When I play the gif in Firefox,IE, Ulead gif animator or anywhere else it is fine but in Flash it shows that first frame with the combined slides and then the 2nd slide correctly. It ruins the "dancing effect" I'm going for.
Does anyone know why it is importing this way? Or what steps I should take to correct it? It's a very simple gif and if I could just get it to display/play properly in Flash I could make a very large rugby player happy.
Cheers,

I just tried that but had the same problem. But I did find a resolution to this problem. If anyone is having this issue try adding one blank transparent frame at the end of the slideshow for .001 seconds. This eliminated the weird import and transition problems I was having.
Many thanks,

Importing .GIF into Fc will not play the animated gif in output

I imported a animated .gif (attached video.gif) into Fc (of a sequence of pics I took saved as an animated .gif)
It inported as a "bitmap image" and upon export to swf it did NOT show the .gif as an animated .gif but just shows the first frame..
(It did not put this file into an assests folder...)
So I converted the "bitmap image" into an optimaized graphic...and NOW it DOES put the original animated gif into the "assets" folder with a Graphic1.fxg and video.gif in that folder.. and If I open the gif in the assest folder it plays it as the animated .gif it is..
BUT SADLY upon export to SWF it still DOES not play the gif as an animated gif.. just the first frame...
Can I do anything in the code to tell the swf file that is exported to play the gif in the assest folder as an animated gif not just show the frame?
I did the animated gif approach becasue I setup a photoshop cs4 file with a quicktime video as a layer and Fc only brought in the first frame of the quicktime layer..
Could the next beta of Fc include the ability to import and play animated gifs as artwork as well AND/or to import Ps Cs4 video layers as videos
So I would have to created a video page in flash pro and import that as a object? into a state?
(no experience with flash pro but just bought cs4 and will try to learn FlashPro overweekend)

Interesting. I don't think this is somethign you can do in Flash Catalyst. We have .GIF support in the Flash Player but I don't think you can use a GIF asset inside Catalyst. If you need that GIF to play you'll have to embed it using Flash Builder.
But Flash Catalyst will support video version 1.0. I don't think you can turn arbitrary layers into "video" layers but you can bring in video files (like .FLV) and then attach components to behaviors (like play, stop, etc).

Importing gif animations into Elements 12 on Mac

Ok, I have searched quite extensively for a specific, accurate answer and am not
clear about the conflicting responses I have encountered. To wit: I bought Elements 2
for a PC several years ago. It had two nice features for my enjoyment of making .gif animations.
(1) It allowed me to import the .gif animations AND all the layers. (2) It allowed me to control
the speed when I made my own animations and saved them in .gif format.
However, when I bought Elements 8 for my iMac, I discovered I could not load .gif animations
and get the frames/layers, nor could I choose any speed except .2.
Ok, these are my specific questions: If I order Elements 12 to run on my iMac (OS X 10.9.2)
will it allow me to load the entire .gif animation and show the frames/layers, AND will it allow me
to choose my own speed when saving a .gif animation.
I know if I save an animation in .psd format that I can reload it, showing the layers. That is not
what I want to do. I want to save in .gif format and load in .gif format. Thanks!

PSE12 should be able to open layered gifs with all the original layers intact. You need to use:
File >> Save For Web
When the dialog opens if you select GIF from the top dropdown list the information for sped is normally grayed out. However if you put a checkmark in the box “Animate” the fields for frame delay and looping become live. You can then change the speed and have looping forever. Then re-save.
Why not download the trial version from the link below and use it free for 30 days. You can then see if it fully meets your needs.

PROBLEM-ONE OR MORE FRAMES WERE DROPPED DURING PLAYBACK... HELP...

Hallo...
I am very new in the Final Cut Express... I import .MOV documents in my computer and then to a new Project in the FCE... I move to the viewer the pieces I want to create, then when I try to see them it reports me the PROBLEM " ONE OR MORE FRAMES....",
I import data from a Canon EOS 500D....
When I do the same in the Imovie it has no problem...
I read somewhere that "The two specifications are completely different. Your media is not support for editing in Final Cut. It's the wrong frame size, frame rate, and codec. The media should be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1280x720 29.97fps. You need to use a sequence preset that matches that. Apple does not support the use of USB drives with video applications."
I dont know what are all these... but I tried to change in the EASY SETUP of FCE everything and try it to see if something happens... IT HAS NOT Apple Intermediate Codec at 1280x720 29.97fps IN THE EASY SETUP....
I CANNOT UNDERSTAND.... I HAVE A CANON HD VIDEO MACHINE.... I JUST WANT TO IMPORT MY VIDEOS... MAKE SOME SIMPLE CHANGES, CREATE A VIDEO.... IN ORDER TO USE IT IN MY JOB... WHY IT IS SO HARD WITH FCE??????????????? IT DOES IT IN THE IMOVIE..... SO HERE WHAT IS THE PROBLEM....
AND IF SOMEONE WANT TO ANSWER PLEASE CONSIDER THAT I AM NEW IN THIS PROGRAM ... I AM GREEK AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND PERFECT ENGLISH.... SO BE SIMPLE AND EXPLAIN WITH SIMPLE STEPS HOW IS THE PROBLEM SOLVED....
I READ IN THE FORUM OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND YOU WERE NOT ACTUALLY VERY HELPFULL......

What you read is absolutely correct. You need to use a conversion app, such as MPEG Streamclip (http://squared5.com) to convert the H.264 files from the Canon into Apple Intermediate Codec files, based on the frame rate and resolution you shot the footage in.

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Hi Import GIF into AE CC 2014

Hi to all.
I try to import a GIF (or animated GIF) to new AE CC 2014.
But AE returns an error: unable to import *.GIF file is DAMAGED OR UNSUPPORTED
But for other older AE version GIF worked fine...
What's happened??
Can you help me?

Yeah! I solved installing QuickTime.
AE use QT library only to import gif/animated gif into the layout.
Thanks however!!

Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. Import was aborted due to dropped frames

Importing into imovie. Tape based camcorder is giving me an error. "import was aborted due to dropped frames" There are spots on the tape that have no image. the tape must have been fast forwarded so some soptes are blank. I just want to capture the video and burn to a dvd disc. Importing into iMovie.
I just wast to record into imovie and burn the home movie to dvd disc. i have done this with other tapes. What do i do? Please help.

the built-in webcam doesn't deliver standard video with a 'clocked' time-base, such as 25 or 30fps.
I assume, when the frame-rate starts to flow too much, FCPX interprets this as a drop-out.
I would suggest to use the Quicktime Player X app to record first, and use a converter tool such as Mpeg Streamclip to 'convert' it into a regular, with a fix timecode, stream.
Plan B)
from my box of silly advices:
give this a try: rise the surrounding brightness - lower frame-rates are used by webcams to compensate low-light conditions.
in general: I would never suggest to use FPCX as a 'recording' tool .......

Importing tga problem

I have several targa image sequences from a client. FCP (6.0.5) will import some but not others. The only difference I can find is that under "kind" in the get info window some are "tga image" and the others are "adobe photoshop targa file". The latter imports no problem, while the former give an error: "File Error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown."
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have run into this issue?
FWIW, I checked the fils in photoshop and they all have the same modes. They also all have the same file sequence naming structure.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually forgot to explain that the error I mentioned above occurs when I try to import just 1 of the targa files individually. If I try to import a sequence the number of errors changes to match the number of targas in the sequence. Sorry about the miscommunication. For the record, there are no other files inside the sequence folder(s) - just the targas.
Still haven't figured this out yet. Shake, Nuke, After Effects, Photoshop all open/import the files, but FCP will not.

The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Problem importing GIF sequence

I am unable to import a carefully numbered GIF sequence into AE. When I try to drag the folder containing the numbered GIF sequence into the project window, AE says "After Effects error: file cannot be imported -- files of type "" cannot be used as sequences. Importing using the import command doesn't work either, giving me the option to import not as a sequence, only as footage. And it doesn't consolidate the 32 GIFS, it just lays them up in the project window as individual GIF files. How might I correct this problem?
Gravic

Gravic:
After Effects handles GIF files through a Quicktime importer. Because of this, the ability to import as sequence is not available as it is for other file formats. Also, the Quicktime importer sees GIF files as "movies" and tries to preserve the existiing animation frames in a given GIF file, rather than import numbered GIFs as sequences.
You can use Photoshop's batch processor (File > Automate > Batch) or a number of other utilities to quickly convert your GIF files to PNG or any other format you may want.
Note that GIFs work in indexed color mode, with a palette of up to 256 colors. If you consider that for many AE users a range of 16.7 million of colors as normally used in 8 bit per channel processing is not enough and choose to use billions or trillions of colors, then you can see why bringing GIFs is a convenient feature but hardly top priority. Remember that in After Effects, the source files don't have any relationship with how the output file is produced. You could export a GIF animation regardless of the source format you used.

Importing .gif file into Pages - problem with transparency

Hi Apple Forum,
First-timer (on the forum) here. I tried importing a .gif image (with alpha channel) into a pages document. The image was imported, but it's not transparent. In other words, the alpha channel isn't working. The problem is NOT with the opacity button, in case some one wants to suggest that as a solution. Has anyone had this issue before?

Hi Scrambled_Eggs
Welcome to the forum.

Problem with imported .AI into Flash (performance issue/frame lag)

Hi Flash people i have a problem:
Background:
i am creating a flash file (old school frame animation with a little AS2) to be used on big screens (in a child libray)
i am importing diffeent files (some PNG some SWF images and Some .AI out of Illustrator) hee is the problem;
The file is BIG 1920+1200px (non scallable) all works fine until the movie hits the imported .Ai file(s) which are
browser views remade in full vecto in illustrator in 1200x800px - i have a simple image transition fom a PNG image
to the browser view (this view is pretty similar to a facebook frontpage in terms of content and text/image distribution.
the transition is 20-25 frames (in 31fps) and works fine with PNG but whrn the .AI frame is loaded the movie solws down
by factor 10 and it takes several seconds (5-8sec.) to play through the 1sec transition.
I have tried to export the same AI page as SWF out of illustrator and the esult is basically the same = exteme frame lag.x
how do i get about this?
i know the 1920x1200px is HUGE for a fullscreen transition/fade, but then again... it should work right?
any ideas? - any other vector formats does a better job (and yes it HAS to be vector as i am also doing some looking class effects)
thjis is really frustrating and the fist time since 96 i have hit the wall with flash :-/ - i have tried everything i know, perhaps overlooking the obvious?
best

Anyone? :-)

Animated Gif - Problem with Frame Delay

Mac OS X 10.5.8
PSE 6.0
I just created an animated gif by following the steps in PSE Help. It says that I should be able to adjust the rate at which the images rotate by changing the Frame Delay measurement but I am unable to change it. In fact I am unable to change anything in the Animation section of the dialog box.
When I check Animation, the options appear to become active (they're no longer greyed out) but I can neither uncheck the Loop option nor change the Frame Delay option. All other sections of the dialog box work fine.
Your help would be most appreciated!
Beth

Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).

How do I import gifs on Lion OS?

Hey, okay so I bought a new mac it has OSX Lion, and I downloaded my Adobe Creative Suite CS4. The one hiccup and the only thing I used it for is edit gifs. When I go to file import - Video Frames to Layers is an option however I can not load a gif into the program. I tried * and everything is still greyed out. I think it's missing a plugin. Adobe tells me to upgrade but you can't upgrade from CS4 to CS6 and the people at Mac tell me that even though my product isn't that old Adobe products can adapt fast enough. I want to know if there is a viable solution to what should be a simple problem or should I move on from Adobe because it is too expensive.

Nope when i open it a box comes up telling me it's an animated gif you can only view one frame, if only Adobe made it that simple.

Imported GIF problem. 1 of 2 frames is incorrect.
