Jog Shuttle - Rewind Skips frames

I am trying to figure out how to encode in Quicktime a mpeg4 or h.264 movie with a smooth rewind (shuttle). I am coaching a sport and trying to teach with the video. After encoding, the video plays fine and actually the fast forwards goes smoothly. But the rewind skips frames . I capture from my camera in dv (avi file) with 720x480 and 29.97 f/s with about 3m bit rate. I don't care the size after I encode. When I play the avi file in QT it rewinds fine and QT goes through each frame, but when I encode to mpeg4 or h.264, the video skips on rewind. Any help would be awesome!!!

Sorry Kyn Drake, here's the def. of what a b-frame and bidirectional frame are....
Bidirectional Frames:
Using bidirectional prediction increases the compression efficiency and the quality of your video. A bidirectional frame is a frame created by the compressor and inserted between intraframes and/or interframes. The compressor analyzes the frames before and after the bidirectional frame and then creates and inserts a frame based on the average quality of both.
Has nothing to do with playing a video backwards...
B-Frames:
The advantages to using the B-Frames are to achieve higher quality of the video and the ability to have playback scalability. By default, the B-Frame setting is set to off. The options in the drop-down menu are: off, Auto, 1, and 2.

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,

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

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.

Viewer in FCP 5 Skipping Frames

Hey everyone,
This is really annyoing. Everytime I try to watch something in the viewer it goes really slow/skips a lot of frames. I tried puting the playback quality on Safe RT and reduced the playback to low. That did nothing. Is there anyway to fix this so I won't have to scrub anything in the viewer?

I have the same problem, when scrubbing my footage with jkl method I notice skipped frames. My footage is DV-PAL, 3,6 Mb/s. It always worked well with FCP 4.5 and Panther. Now I've installed Tiger and FCP 5.0 (studio pack - updated) and the issue comes over. My G5 is a brand new dual 2,7, 2 Gb RAM, 2x250 Gb sata. The disks are empty, the application is on the system's one and the footage on the other. Does anybody noticed the same issue ?
What should I do ?
Thanks.

Files seems to skip frames when importing into Premiere Elements 10

I am importing .mts files from a sdhc card. When trying to import the .MTS Files into Adobe Premiere Elements 10 it skip frames at clip transitions. When i place the files onto the timeline it looks like a 'jump' between clips, as if frames were missing. The same happens when I import .vob files from a dvd. A long seqence gets interrupted by a quick drop in audo and a quick jumpcut. How do i fix this ?

As John says, matching your project settings to your video is vital to a successful editing experience. If you've got a match, you will NOT see red lines above your clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
Also, AVCHD video often requires at least a quad core or i7 processor with a good load of RAM to edit. If you don't have a powerful, well-tuned system, it could well be that the skipping you're seeing is just your computer unable to process the video data fast enought.
How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? What OS are you running?

Stuck and skipping frames

We made AIR video player using Flash CS5. But it is stuck and skipping frames when I try to play a video.
CPU usage directly goes up to 60, 70%. It gets stuck and skipping frame.
Video Format : h264 , 720p
It gets stuck and skipping frames no matter we try to play the video either by our player or by Adobe Media Player.
Most of our customers don’t have modern super computer so how can we solve this problem?
We made the test on pc with HP-Dual core CPU.
EncryptVideo.level = High
The videos which hadn’t been encrypted are stuck too.
Thanks
Dalai

Hi Dalai,
Does this happen to all of your h.264 contents? What component do you use to do the playing? Can you try to use OSMF(http://www.osmf.org/)?
Can you try to play this content with http://drmtest.adobe.com/SVP/SampleVideoPlayer_FP.html also?
Best regards,

Flash to quicktime skipping frames

I'm exporting a complex flash movie to quicktime and it is skipping frames on export. The resolution is 1400 X 1020 and the frame rate is 30 fps. How can I get flash to render each frame?

oops - sorry for the double post!

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.

Jog shuttle experience

Hi all,
I'd like tu use a jog shuttle with FCE and I need some advice about it. I know Contour products, but do you think is better Pro V.2 or shuttlexpress?
Any other brand?
Thanks in advance, Maurizio.

hey there,
i currently use the Express & it works fine for me. the buttons are pre-set & work the same for FCE or FCP. before the Express i used the Griffin PowerMate, but i like the Express much better.
good luck, hope this helps.

MCU and Logic 8.02 - no jog/shuttle wheel

this is really bugging me as a I use the jog wheel a lot. When using Logic 8.02 the jog wheel on my Mackie Control Universal (MCU) does not function correctly. Instead of advancing by say a bar every click the logic song position advances to the end of the arrangement - it only sometimes goes backwards and that is in increments of around 80 bars.
I have reset the key commands and deleted and re added the MCU as well as initializing all preferences - the problem persists.
What is really odd about this to me is the the jog wheel does not appear to be properly mapped in logic's key commands - the shuttle command is mapped to the fast forward and rewind keys! fast forward and rewind do work. All other funtions of the MCU function normally.
anyone else experiencing this? any idea on how I can get around this?
Logic 8.02, OS X 10.4.11 - MCU v2.1.0, MIDI interface for the MCU is MOTU 828mk2 FW, MIDI interface for everything else is Unitor8

I tried putting it into HUI mode and the jog wheel was still acting strange. Perhaps my control surface is broken?
When I have time I will test on an older version of Logic that I know used to work.

Burned DVD skips frames (?) on DVD players

I recently used my EyeTV 200 to encode some video, which I then exported to iMovie, and then sent it to iDVD from iMovie. I then burned the video to a DVD using iDVD. The burned DVD plays fine on my computer, but does not play correctly on two stand-alone DVD players (one purchased several years ago and one purchased within the last year). During any significantly speedy motion in the image, the moving parts have a jerkiness to them, sort of like it is dropping frames, but there is also a sort of ghosting effect, where the person moving on-screen is seen in the current frame and last frame's position. It's very distracting, and I can't figure out how to fix it, because the file plays fine at every earlier stage in the process.
The encoding settings in EyeTV are as follows:
MPEG-2
NTSC 720x480 D1
Constant bit rate of 15.0 Mbps
GOP structure: IBP frames
Audio: 384 kbps at 48.0 kHz
The EyeTV file (8.4 GB) plays fine. Then I exported it to iMovie (which seems to be a straight conversion to DV), and it plays fine in iMovie. Then I clicked the "Create iDVD Project" button. I set up my menus, etc, in iDVD, and it plays fine there as well. iDVD is set to encode using Best Quality (the video is 1 hr. 15 min. long). I burned the project to a Maxell DVD-R 8x single-layer disc using a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-111D*. As I mentioned before, the resulting DVD plays fine using Apple's DVD Player software, but exhibits this weird skipping on both an old and a new stand-alone DVD player.
I have looked everywhere for some sort of preference setting to boost the quality of the rendering in iDVD (thinking that might be the problem), but the fact that the final product plays fine on the computer seems to suggest that that isn't the problem, but I don't know what else it could be. I have plenty of free space on my hard drive, and a dual-processor 1.25 GHz G4 should be plenty of horsepower to encode this thing.
Any insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
*: The Pioneer DVD burner is an after-market internal drive that I bought from MCE:
http://www.mcetech.com/dvdr16xdt-d.html
which is supposed to be 100% supported by Apple software (I think it's supposed to be the same model Apple uses for their superdrives). However, System Profiler lists it as unsupported:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D:
Firmware Revision: 1.06
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)
Profile Path: None
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes

Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes

But iDVD and the Finder both recognize it without any complaint (I've also used it to burn several DVD-R discs in the Finder - with no problems).

EyeTV is what produced the original file. I knew that re-compression could produce problems as I moved from EyeTV to iMovie to iDVD to burned DVD, so to avoid that as much as possible, I put the settings as high as possible - that's why the EyeTV file is an 8.4 GB file for 75 minutes of video, which is a pretty large file for that amount of video.
But like I said, there is no problem with the quality of the EyeTV file, or the iMovie file, or the iDVD file. They all play beautifully. The burned DVD plays beautifully when it is played on the computer. The only problem is when I try to play the burned DVD on a stand-alone DVD player with a TV.

Skipping frames in mc - another "bug"??

Hi. Still working on that presentation, Flash Pro. v8 - PC
platform.
On slide 2, I have a movie clip.
The mc has a total of 235 frames.
When I play the mc in the edit window, everything is fine.
When I test my movie, it seems to ignore the first 40 frames
of the mc.
The only script I have attached to that slide is:
onEnterFrame = function(){
this.mcPosterpg2.gotoAndPlay(1);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
The only script I have attached to the mc itself is a stop on
the last frame.
All my scripts are on their own layer.
Is this yet another bug, or am I missing something?

> Anyway to fix this?
No.
There is currently a bug/limitation that makes Skip Existing Frames and Render Mutliple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing incompatible.

How to make clip "skip" frames?

I have a clip I would like to move jerkily, in other words, repeat a given frame 3 times, then skip the next two frames and repeat the third frame three times, etc., etc. What's the best way to accomplish this (without doing freeze frames manually)?

I could only think of one way... Export the clip as a QT Pro movie self contained and then Export from QT as a "Movie to Image Sequence". Then go in and Duplicate twice the frames you want to repeat. Its easy to delete the frames you don't want. When finished with this arduous task then you Open the Image Sequence back to QT and then import back to FCE. I'm glad you are doing it and not I. If one were an expert in AppleScript I guess you could write a script to do the Duplicate and Delete operations on the appropirately numbered frames (files). But I am not so I did it manually.
Incidentally I tried it on a very small clip (about 27 frames) and it didn't look very jumpy to me.
