IPhone movies skip frames in iPhoto

iPhone movies skip frames when imported into iPhoto

When you upgraded to Snow Leopard did you select the option to install the Quicktime 7 Player? If not the start a reinstall, select the Custom install option and install just the Quicktime 7 Player. That will let you play the movies from iPhoto (although it opens and plays outside iPhoto with Quicktime Player.

Are you serious with this??
Better look for a replacement as soon as possible, or you'll end up screwing your whole machine.
And about the software, I use WinDVD 6 Platinum (is the best player I've ever know )

How to include movie poster frames in iphoto contact sheet?

I cant see how to include movies in contact sheet. Is it possible? I'm using iphoto v8.0.2.

I suppose Old Toad's solution will work. However, this will change the dates on the originals and I don't think that is desireable in general.
I think there is a bug in the printing of contact sheets. If one selects all photos in an album that has been re-orded manually and then starts the print sequence, the initial sheet with 3 columns is ordered correctly. But, as soon as you try to change the number of columns the ordered reverts to date order of the originals.
Am I missing something or is this really a bug? If it is, how do I report it?

Quicktime movie export from Flash CS3 is skipping frame.

When I try to export Quicktime movie from Flash CS3, the
resulting mov file is skipping frames. i.e.: The movie is showing
frame number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 10, 11, 12, 12, 12, 15
etc...
As you can see the frame number 7 is repeated 3 times and
frame 8 and 9 are nowhere to be found.
The last configuration I used is 960x540, Sorenson video 3
medium quality, 25 fps, keyframe every 25 frames. 6400 kbits/s.
I tried various configurations,with different codecs and even
with keyframe all frames and I always get simillar problems.
Anyone have an idea what is going on, and how to fix this?
Thank you,
Olivier.

The QT exporter in Flash is honestly my least favorite
feature - not the feature itself but how it
works (or how it doesn't work in some cases). For me it is
almost unusable unless you have a very
short timeline, small stage, lower frame rate - like AS
generated effects or something - otherwise,
for true frame accuracy to video output - it is not reliable
enough and not fast enough for any real
world production environment.
So typically for me - I love SWF2Video (www.flashants.com) as
it takes any SWF and makes it into an
AVI that is frame accurate no matter what the frame rate is -
quite incredible - enough so that I
always felt it should have been bundled with Flash (as well
as Wacom tablets).
Harmony is an incredible product - as is SOLO and TBS (Toon
Boom mStudio) - each of those programs
are dedicated animation programs designed for output to video
- Flash has a lot of hats to fill and
it was never really designed for animation to video even
though many of us have found it suitable
for all intents and purposes as an animation program for full
production.
But all in all - the quicktime exporter doesn't really
deliver how we would expect it too I am sorry
to say - I only hope it works as well as it does on the Mac
(Mac users could always choose to export
to Quicktime Video but not PC users).
For now if I am exporting to video I keep it all on the
timeline or nested in Graphic symbols or use
the SWF2Video tool.
hope this helps.

When I upload videos from iphone 4 to PC they skip frames. It isn't camera shake or anything like that. Any solutions?

when I upload videos from iphone 4 to PC they skip frames. It isn't camera shake or anything like that. Any solutions?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

Iphone movie upside down in fcp

Hello, I've followed through every question I can find on this and no one sems to be giving an answer. I apparently shot vodeo upside down on my iphone and brought it into FCP from iphoto. I also brought it in Image capture. How is is possible that there is no way of rotating this? I feel desperate and I've been working on this for hours.
I would appreciate any help.
I use fcp 6.0.6 and the mac is a 10.6.8

HI Meg, I had looked at this before ( see below) and was going to try it but since I don't have ProRes LT I used ProRes and the estimated file size is 47 G.
I think it's too cumbersome to work with. The end place is Youtube with a dvd in the gallery so I don't need this quality.
Any other suggestions
best Libby

Wrote this over on reddit - thought it'd be useful here.
Here's the problem: +What you have is 720p 24 frame h.264 files with 44k aac audio+. It doesn't matter if you understood this.
What's happening is that FCP can't handle compressed audio in RT; so you have a red render bar - which is giving you the beeping.
Final Cut Pro is optimized to work with footage in 'common' video formats - formats that are geared for editing. The problem with the supercompressed stuff like this is that it's meant for distribution, not really for editing.
Camera based (and editing based) codecs usually have all the information on every frame. There's less decoding for the editorial software (and less rendering) because the software has to essentially decode one frame.
Distribution codecs usually have a full frame…and then a series of frames that are only changes. Editorial software has to cache up to 15 frames to decode a single frame; it's stressful and the renders are far longer.
*Getting settings right is a pain*. So, starting in FCP 5, when you drop the first clip into the timeline, FCP will ask if you want to set the sequence to match your footage. Performance will be optimized this way. If you do this - you'll have Real Time (RT) video, audio, many effects and transitions - and the ability to tell FCP to use Unlimited RT - a way of having FCP play frames that might need rendering…without rendering (yes, I"m simplifying)
+But that only works when it's a piece of video optimized for editorial+
When you drop footage that is not standard, FCP still shows you the dialog box asking if you want to conform the sequence. It builds a sequence that matches the footage (as close as possible) You'll get zero RT effects, but you'll be able to play the video. But compressed audio ain't happening. Don't ask me why, I can only guess that the priority of non-standard, compressed audio is below other priority features/programming/bugfixes.
How to solve your problem. If you set this up, you can automate this. Reading this will take far longer than actually doing it.
We need to get your video into something native that FCP can edit - especially the audio.
We'll start by dragging a piece of your video into Compressor. Then under settings type LT into the search box. The top hit should be for Apple ProRes 422 (LT) - a less compressed codec.
But Apple hasn't gotten our audio right. So we need to fix it, save the preset…and then to automate the process save our setting as a droplet.
Fix the audio:
1) Select the ProRes LT setting in the top window and the inspector will light up.
2) The first inspector tab is for the Summary - we need to press the second one to get access to the encoders.
3) On the encoder tab, we need to switch the audio from Pass-through to enabled.
4) Then we're going to press the settings button.
5) Change the Format to Linear PCM, Stereo (L R), 48kHz, sample size 16 bits. Press Okay.
We now have THIS setting correct.
6) On the bottom right of the inspector is a button called SAVE AS… 7) Call this iPhone to FCP (ProRes LT)
Let's make a droplet
8) Clear the Search field on the Settings window.
9) Open the Custom Group
10) Select the iPhone to FCP (ProRes LT) and press the button at the top left of the Settings window that looks like a video file with a down arrow.
11) Save the droplet to your desktop.
Now you can drag your iPhone movies to the droplet, it'll throw up a dialog box, press submit and Compressor will transcode all your files to ProRes, ready to go in FCP.
*I did all of this for you. Here's the linked file http://files.me.com/jeffgreenberg/8iprtv*
+tl;dr Pass the files through compressor using the ProRes LT setting with one modification. It'll create much bigger files, but FCP will work (full RT effects.)+
MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
I have this question too (3)

How do I get iPhone movies into iTunes' movie menu in the sidebar?

I've tried to get iPhone movies into iTunes, but they turn into .MOV files and won't transfer!
I've tried exporting iPhone movie files from iPhoto into iTunes shared movie files (Movies folder), but
they don't appear in the iTunes movie list! They don't appear in the iPad video app either!
What's the story! . . . . thanks f

Allan, I tried all you suggested. I ended up with 'IMG' files in the source list, and they won't play. When double clicked they try to open for a blink, then back to the list.
When exporting the iPhone video from iPhoto, what did you fill out in the dialogue box. All I saw were selections referring to photos (jpeg, medium, etc.) I didn't see choices for video! Wouldn't it be just as easy to just drag
the video from the iPhoto thumbnails to the desktop? Am I missing something here?
Thanks again

When I import movies to imovies from a camcorder, the sound does not import. IPhone movies import completely.

I'm trying to import movies from a Canon camcorder into iMovie. The picture imports ok but there is no sound.
I've tried using camera connected as well as card reader. The card is a 16gb SD card.
iPhone movies import ok with sound as well as video.

in your iPhoto preferences is look up location set to "automaticaly"?

HD 1280 x 720 , Skips Frames with Quicktime 7.*

Quicktime skips frames when I'm trying to play a video I created with my Digital camera.(Kodak Z1275) Its not the camera because it plays flawlessly on screen. I upload the file to the computer and Quicktime skips a few seconds throughout the entire file.When I uploaded the HD 1280 x 720 file to Youtube it plays flawlessly.
So the conclusion is its not my computer since the file plays perfect with Youtubes encoder.(I even brought the file to the store I purchased the camera from, the same problem) The Problem is with Quick time player!
Also when I select 1/2 speed playback speed in the Quick time player it is very smooth!Conclusion Player encoder does not like 1280 mode?
I have the latest version and even went to the trouble of purchasing Quick time Pro 7 (that I regret)
Any help from the apple gang?

The only conclusion is Quicktime is not able to process the larger 1280 x 720 format. Only the MAC boys can help! You have to get enough people complaining or find another player encoder that will work with the .mov file.
Kodak, the makers of the camera blame it on Quicktime's obsolete program. Not enough users to make it worth changing or maybe its in the works now.
Seems like Kodak got ahead of Quicktime's ****** player

Does anyone know how to fix a 1st generation apple tv that plays moves by frames?

My 1st generation apple tv is playing moves in frames. Does any one know how to fix this?
I have done a factory reset but did not work?
I have checked that I have the latest softwear 3.0.2. Is this the problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller. This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate. What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis. Does anyone know how to find out this information?

Flash to quicktime skipping frames

Apple TV preset : Compressing DVCPRO HD footage : Results in skipped frames

I've been super confused about the recent issue. I've got a 7 minute sequence in FCP which I'm sending to compressor. I'm compressing for my Apple TV. I use the preset, in the Apple Devices folder.
The movie compresses fine, in about 10 minutes. Final size is about 250MB, 960x540.
I have 4 spots where the movie will actually skip a frame. It's VERY detectable because these are Motion sequences with some very flowing camera movements. A skipped frame is like getting punched in the eye. This is seen on my MacPro and my Apple TV.
I have recreated this issue about 10 times, always with the same spots on the movie. I can't get rid of them. I've checked the original files, the original sequence, and there's no skipped frames. I've exported to H.264, no problem there. I've exported to iPod, and the same thing happens.
What's the commonality?... the m4v compressor.
Now, I've imported the full DVC PRO HD film, as exported from FCP, and put it in iTunes. Then I choose "convert for Apple TV." Final size is 190MB, about 60 MB smaller than the compressor version. Reason?.... Who knows what the settings are for iTunes to AppleTV?
This version plays smoothly, with no jumps or skipped frames, on my MacPro, and on my AppleTV.
What's is up? I am trying to figure out if my DVCPRO HD sequence is trying to shove too much info into an m4v sequence using the preset, and the result is that compressor just throws a frame away here and there.
This totally *****.

To be perfectly blunt, you are best off going 960x540 since you're shooting 60i.
If you were shooting a 24p format it would make sense try to 1280x720 (since all you'd have to do is resize) but since you're attempting to retime as well (and only gaining frame judder, the choppiness that you speak of) it's not worth the time and effort. Sure you can export your FCP timeline out to a reference QT movie and drop that into Compressor - creating a PhotoJPEG movie at 1280x720 and 23.98 (making sure Frame Controls are all cranked up to Better, and output set to Progressive) but it'll take forever.
As for export to TV, I personally always use QuickTime Pro's Export to MPEG-4 feature, since I can make an h.264 encoded .mp4 file that uses Multi-Pass (being careful to adjust settings to within the TV's specs). All the AppleTV presets - even in Compressor 3 - are subpar and single-pass.
Of course, if you'd rather have a .mov file, just use Compressor to do that.
