Jerky and abrupt frame movement after rendering (Clip)

Hello,
Would anybody happen to know what's the reason of jerky and abrupt frame movement after rendering?
Please go to the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANTpUzk3jYY and watch the clip.
- I have a 4Core CPU (Intel i7)
- Graphic Card: Quadro FX 4800 (with the latest 64-bit drivers installed)
- The most recent version of Elemental Accelerator (with the latest drivers installed)
- Adobe After Effects CS4, Adobe Premiere PRO CS4.2
- Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
- Windows 7 64-bit
- RAM memory: 12GB
Do you know why does this happen?
Thank you!!
Giannis

I use a Full HD 1080i SONY Semi professional cam (2,930.00 $). I use AVCHD file format which is accepted by premiere and after effects. I could convert it but I would not like to spend time since this kind of format is accepted by the software.
I don't have these problems all the time. Eventually I managed to export the clip properly. I think it has to do with temporal memory. I don't know. I have to check all the memory data for best peformance and best rendering. I think I have already done this but I will dig a little deeper in this..

Dropped Frames Warning after matching clip settings using Animation codec.

I have a 720 x 540 px animation exported as a QT movie from a 3D program, using the animation codec. I'm bringing it into Final Cut 6, placing it on the timeline and allowing FC to change its sequence settings to match those of the clip so it won't need to be rendered.
If I duplicate the clip several times, placing the duplicates back to back, the sequence plays w/ no problem. If I introduce a different clip, a generated slug or even leave a gap on the timeline I get the Dropped Frames Warning on the very last frame of the clip, right before the play head would move to the first frame of the new clip, or the slug, or the gap where there's nothing on the timeline.
If I initially bring in a clip that's been compressed using PNG and have Final Cut change its sequence settings to match those of the clip, everything plays flawlessly. Same thing using None compression. Plays fine. If I leave FC at its default settings and render the clips after I place them on the timeline, they play fine and I don't get the warning. I only get the warning when I have FC match the settings of a clip using the Animation codec.
I'm running 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon w/ 16 GB Ram. My boot drive is an SSD and my video media is stored on a 2nd internal 7200 RPM HD.
I did read on another forum that the Animation codec tends not to perform so well in FC. I'm wondering if that's the problem or if it's hardware related?

Turn the warning off:
Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > User Preferences and on the General Pane, uncheck the Report dropped frames during playback box. Then click OK.
The warning only alerts you that FCP can't call up and display the frames fast enough to play in real time, so it is dropping frames - during playback.
When you are done editing, you will export the finished file from FCP into the deliverable format you want, during that process every frame of your timeline will be added to the exported file.
And yes, playing back in Animation Codec is real heavy lifting for FCP.

First and last frame disappearing off every clip

Hi,
Every clip I import in Final cut pro 6.0 loses its first and last frame.
The clips I import are in photoJpeg / 24p (verified with the -get info- of Quicktime Pro), but once in FCP they are marked as 23.98 ?!?!
In the browser the info of the clip says 23.98 and also indicates that the clip is 2 frames shorter.
When opened in the viewer the first and last frames are really missing.
It gets worse, when a clip is longer (ie: 500 frames), the first and last TWO frames are missing ?!?!
Am I alone with this problem?
Please help!!!

How are these clips getting created? Quicktime does not necessarily associate each frame with a certain TC, and the frame rate is dynamically calculated, rather than simply being hard-coded into the QT metadata. This results in Quicktimes that get created outside of FCP often showing up with different frame rates than you expect.
You might try exporting movies back out of FCP, ether from the master clips, or from sequences. I have noticed that when I export from a sequence at the correct frame rate, the missing frames come back. Other tools that might come in handy are Compressor for converting batches of files to QTs that FCP will like better, and Cinema Tools for conforming clips to a particular frame rate (like changing them from 24 to 23.98)
You might also try Dumpster which is a bare-bones utility that will allow you to view and edit the QT metadata directly.
Try some experiments and post back and let us know what you find out. I found that placing the clips in sequences at the proper frame rate and exporting new movie files worked well, but I have seen timing and frame rate shifts with some clips using this method...
Hope this helps -

After rendering clip is in slow motion

Hi,
I've been using Gopro shots, which were converted to AVI with Cineform, following the CS 6 issue:
Sequence setting, and clip rate: 1280x720, 100fps, avi. after the rendering the clip takes place in slow motion on the timeline.
Why is that?
If I use the same clip in the setting 1920x1080 60fps render remains the original speed, so it will not slow down.
Thanks, Alex.

The pc can handle the yellow line, but not some of the cross fades.
The clip plays in normal speed after exporting the 1280x720, 100fps.
It only slows down on the timeline.
Any solution or idea what the problem is?
i put it in 60fps sequence because it doesnt slow down after rendering.

After Effects change size of the Movie after rendering mp4

Hi,
I created a new composition and wanted to render it as an mp4 file. The composition has a size of 1500px x 1000px, after rendering, the mp4 file has a size of 750px x 576px - everthing is distorted. I don't know what happened, because everything was prechecked because the size matters.
Is someone know what happend and what I can do, to prevent such a mistake? (it is my first After Effects project ever - I'm a nube)
Thank you Dan

mp4 is a compression format based on specific blocks of pixels and the legal sizes are set by the codec, there is nothing you can do except pick another codec if you must have 1500 X 1000 as a final size. Why did you pick that size? If you must deliver an mp4 then you should be working with standard sizes for your compositions and they should be square pixels... Always square pixels for mp4.

Bug? Frame moves after placement. IDCS6

I've been using IDCS6 for about 2 weeks now and I've noticed that often when I'm moving a frame with a linked graphic in (by clicking on it with the selection tool and dragging the mouse) and snap it to some guides/smart guides, I'll place it and suddenly it will shift from where I've placed it.
I've done a bit of testing and it seems to happen inbetween me letting go of the mouse button and the frame contents re-drawing itself. If I move my mouse in this time period the frame shifts to the new mouse position. I would expect ofcourse for the position to be used of when I lift my mouse button and for any subsequent movement of the mouse whilst the frame is redrawing its contents to be ignored.
I have tested this on 2 Macs which both show the same behvaiour (both running OSX 10.8 ML).
I have also done a test in CS4 (which I just upgraded from) and it does not have this quirky behaviour. I also notice that CS4 redraws the contents of the frame considerably quicker.
Is anyone else experinceing this/confirm the behaviour? Is it a bug?
PS - If what I'm describeing isn't clear I can do a screen cast!

No problem, screen cast uploaded here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14364688/IDCS6_screencast.mp4
Just to be clear, a brief description of what is happening. The first time I move the frame it works fine, I tried to make the problem happen but I think the frame contents redrew too fast.
The second time I move the frame (starting at 7 seconds in the video). I dragged the frame until the smart guides show -> Released the Mouse button -> Move the mouse quickly down.
You will see the final position of the frame is not where I released the mouse button but at the position of my cursor when the frame has finished redrawing.

Stretched movie after rendering in H.264

Hi All,
My composition size is 640x380. I render it in H.264 format and the rendered movie is somewhat stretched with black bands on the top and the bottom.If I select .avi format, it renders fine. What am I doing wrong? should I change pixel aspect ration to 16x9 in H.264 format settings or keep it the same as in composition settings (square pixels)?
Thanks!

> My composition size is 640x380.
That's a very strange set of frame dimensions.
> I render it in H.264 format and the rendered movie is somewhat
stretched with black bands on the top and the bottom.
The H.264 format only permits a limited, constrained set of frame sizes. In After Effects CS4, these constraints were communicated in the Comments field of the H.264 Export Settings dialog box. In After Effects CS5, if your settings don't match one of the sets of settings allowed by the H.264 specification, then a warning icon in the Output Module Settings dialog box appears, and After Effects tells you what it's going to do to make the video fit.

Titles & Graphics Move after rendering

I am new to Adobe Premiere Elements 9, and seem to have random issues on video's, which do not happen all the time.
In the first screenshot from the first video below, You can see the logo,fade and name are all lined up properly
After the video renders, regardless of the format, I end up with something like below. I am not sure why the text shifts outside of the green bar from where it was originally placed.
Any suggestions or insight as to why this happens?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I have seen similar, where the Project's Preset did not match the Source Footage (the Video Clips), and things get mis-aligned.
Titles are dependent on the Project Preset for things like Frame Size and PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio).
Check your Project Preset settings for all attributes vs the Source Footage, just to get that out of the way.
Next, if one has done any animation on the Title (Titles in your case probably), I would look closely at the Animation Presets, if used, or the animation Keyframes, if one did not use an Animation Preset.
Can you also include a screen-cap of the portion of the Timeline, where your Title/Titles appear? I would actually do two, where one would be with the Text Title Selected, and the Effects Control Panel (Edit Effects with a Clip Selected will open that), and the fixed Effect>Motion twirled open. The second would be with the Shape Title Selected and again, the Effects Control Panel open to Effect>Motion.
If you did not manually animate the Titles, then please list the exact steps and settings that you used, plus a description of the Title/Titles.
Thanks for the info and good luck,

Blues "flashes" in .mov after rendering in iphoto 6

I recently upgraded iphoto 6 when prompted, and have rendered the first .mov from a slideshow since the upgrade. Upon playback, there are blue flashes that appear randomly throughout. I have re-rendered, deleted and recreated the slideshow, run a disk utility, etc., but the blue flashes still appear. This never happened before I upgraded, and I have done many slideshows. I got a new monitor, which is the only other variable. What is the problem? Help!

Iphoto showing wrong file size and length for movie after upgrade

in iphoto, an AVI from my camera is shown as being 1:04 long and 76 MB. but playing the file shows it is 9 seconds long, and Finder shows the file as being 10 MB.
a bit more about this file: I shot the video with my still camera and imported it. on the camera, I then edited it down from 1:04 to 0:09, and reimported it. both files were in my iphoto library before upgrading to iphoto '08; iphoto saw they had different lengths and did not consider them duplicates.
now, I see only one file with the time of 1:04 (the original length) and it plays the edited version. while I would prefer to have both versions, as I did before, I would more like to know why iphoto is showing the wrong information for a file the was fine in the previous version of iphoto.

Sound problems after rendering

Hi,
Being that I have Premiere Pro 7.0, I am not too sure how much help I will get, but i was hoping that someone here could still help if all possible. Here is my problem. I thought I start practicing developing video lessons for 3d software. These lessons would be created using a screen captureing program, called camStudio. In my first lesson, my first try doing the entire lesson as one video, I found out that the video file size exceeded CamStudio's exporter file size allowance when trying to save out to Microsoft DV 1 AVI file. I then decided to split the lesson into 2, but final compose it as one video in Premiere Pro 7.0. Since the lesson was broken up into 2 screen captured videos, I thought it would make things easier if each screen captured video was in its own simulation. So, in other words, I have created 2 simulations in one project, and then I had nested both of them into the 3rd simulation. For example, simulation 1 was called lesson1 part a, and simulation 2 was named lesson1 part b, and the third simulation was called lesson1. Once I had everything setup, at first everything was working fine, meaing I could see the video and hear the sound tracks. However, after I choose to render the sequence using Microsoft DV11 AVI, I do not get any sound, and yet I made sure that the exporter exports both the video and audio. Furthermore, after rendering the project, going back to Premiere Pro's project, and pressing play, I get the error.... Disk Write Error: Verify drive connection, available disk space and disk access privileges
However, when I go inside simulation 1 or simulation 2, I still hear their sound tracks. One other thing I have noticed is that I get the sound back in the project if I move the orginal simulations into a new simulation. By doing that, I am then able to recover the project,. but if I choose to render again, the same process happens all over again.
Does anyone Have any ideas?

so are you saying that the problem could be comming from how I did my recording with CamStudio? Not to change the subject, but you see, I am kind of lost. My goal is to provide some free video lessons. I was thinking my final encoded videos will be in DivX or XVid. CamStudio does offer users to compress to thise types of format. Howeveer, due to owning a very cheap microphone, those kinds that sit on your desktop, is causing me to have the biggest problem, since there is a good amount of background hissing noise in my recordings. So, I have been using both CamStudio for the screen capturing and Audacity to do the voice recording. Then in Audacity, I try my best of tuning up the voice and removing the background hissing noise. Once that is finished, I then need some sort of video editing software that allows me to put the video and my voice recodring together as well as splicing areas of the lesson where I stutter or slurr my speach a bit, which can be easily fixed in Adobe Premire Pro. However, my version of Premiere does not offer XVid or DivX encoding. I was thinking of using VirtualDub, but I really do not want to have 5 programs, just so that I can fix all of my problems, not to mention I have no $$$$ left. So is there a free better way?

How do I Show date and time when I hover over clip like in iMovie

How do I get FCPX 10.6 to show date and time when I hover over a clip? I can so it in I movie and as I move over my clips the date/time is shown. I need it for that specific point in the clip not just the record start time.

I realize that my needs are outside of the normal editing workflow. I am a private investigator and last week I shot over 6 hours of surveillance video on a Sony video camera. Within this 6 hours of video there is at most 2 minutes of actual footage of my subject. So what I wanted to do was just import the parts of the clip I want, so I can avoid importing the whole 6 hours, and then add a text title of some sort that shows the date/time. My problem is that once I get this clip I have easy way of establising the TOD short of taking the clip capture time and then counting up using the SMTPE Timecode. In this regard iMovie makes it easier because I can just hover over the clip and see the TOD of that specific frame. iMovie on the other hand would force me to import the whole 6 hour video so i'm left moving between both programs which is less than ideal.

Flash Player 10.1 is jerky and freezes?

I updated to flash player 10.1 today and now i can't view anything it is extremely jerky and then freezes. After this it will start again and repeat the same process over and over.
I've tried unistalling it and reinstalling it but i get the same thing happening everytime was wondering if anyone had any solutions to this problem?

I'm having the same problem but I'd like to add that when I move my mouse the frozen picture starts moving again. If I keep moving my mouse all the time the pauses are minimal if at all. It's just a drag constantly moving the mouse to keep the picture going. No problem with the audio, it keeps going uninterupted.

After effects clip doesn't appear in finished film

I have produced a short film in premiere pro with a 6 second after effects clip at the end. When I export it to encoder to produce a FLV/F4V film for youtube,the after effects clip does not appear even tho I can see it encoding and there is a 6 second blank film at the end. I don't understand this as I have done this a few months previously on another premierepro film and could see the after effects clip. I have repeated the encoding on the earlier film and now cannot see the AE clip. I have slightly changed the AE clip - only changing the font colour so nothing major. I am working with CS4
Any ideas as to whatis happening?
PhoebeSparke

Hi Mark
It was a stupid mistake on my part - the AE project was set at 24fpm whereas the Premiere Pro project was set at 25fpm so I guess they were contradicting each other. I'm still not sure how this could have happened but I am glad I have sorted it. Thanks very much for your interest

Premiere Degrading Quality (after rendering) of Animation Codec mov's and 4444 Codec mov's, which were made from SWF files, originally exported out of After Effects

I am making a cartoon, which was created in FLASH,
Then the SWF's were put into After Effects and exported out as MOV's. (I've tried both AppleProRes4444 and Animation codecs).
Then I put those Mov's into Premiere. Everything looks crisp until I render. Once rendering is done, the video quality degrades. Here's a screen shot of Premiere:
On the left is the source MOV (exported from AE), on the right is the timeline viewer (after rendering). The quality on the right is degraded. Help?
If I use MP4 versions, exported out of Flash, through Media encoder, quality is not degraded.
(Read on for additional info)
It was easy and quick to create my MOV's out of AE, which is why I did it this way. I'm exporting to MOV's so I can edit quicker in Premiere. I find editing to sound in AE really difficult, and I don't edit in Flash (employees provide SWF files to me).
Here is sequence settings in Premiere (these setting were created by dragging an MOV into the sequence and choosing "change settings" to match clip settings.
Help? Please?
