Key-Frame Video Transitions?

Is there anyway to Key-Frame Video Transitions in Premiere?

With some transitions (not Transitions), one can create them, such as with Opacity for Cross-Dissolves, and then Keyframe those Effects. That is where Colin and I were headed. Most Transitions can only be adjusted via whatever attribute dialog, if any, is presented.
The Nesting is a very good way to make some changes too.
Often several ways to skin that cat...
For more control, you also might want to look into Pixelan's SpiceMaster, or ProDAD's Adorage, as many of their Transitions can be altered in some very interesting ways. Pixelan is kind of a "roll your own," plug-in, and offers some very useful control. Well worth the $, and cannot say too much about how great their support is - should be the paradigm for all software companies, IMHO.
Good luck,

Key frames switch to SMOOTH when they started as linear for multi key frame video animation ?

When i create a series of animated moves on a freeze frame or pic...the second key frame which begins a "hold" ...always changes to smooth from linear after I add a few additional key frames and moves.. I use the key frame button on top left of viewer to add the key frames...I have tried adding the key frames in the inspector but smae results..2nd key frame changes to smooth after I add 4 additonal key frames and moves. why?

thanks for the reply Steve. I will battle through with this project and show the end result, but you may celebrate a birthday or six before I finish.But I will finish. It is part of a project I am creating from a recent stay on the Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Geraldton Western Australia. It is isolated like few places in the world, pristine and protected. We have friends who are proffessional fisherman and are allowed to stay there on shacks during the limited fishing/rock lobster fishing season.I have some really great photos and video to make use of.

Extraction Key Frames from a video

Hi all,
I would like to know what is the best way to extract keyframe from a video.
My Status (butr I can cahnge it)
I'm Marco and I'm using JMF; I need for an help because I don't know how to extract keyframes from AVI and MPG files.
I'm using the code posted in this forum for extracting all frame in a video with the adding of an if expression that in the accessFrame method that I report below:
void accessFrame(Buffer frame) {
BufferToImage stopBuffer = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) frame.getFormat());
Image stopImage = stopBuffer.createImage(frame);
try {
BufferedImage outImage = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
Graphics og = outImage.getGraphics();
og.drawImage(stopImage, 0, 0, size.width, size.height, null);
Iterator writers = ImageIO.getImageWritersByFormatName("jpg");
ImageWriter writer = (ImageWriter) writers.next();
File f = new File(frame.getSequenceNumber() + ".jpg");
if ((frame.getFlags() & Buffer.FLAG_KEY_FRAME) != 0){{color}
{color:#ff9900}
ImageOutputStream ios = ImageIO.createImageOutputStream(f);
writer.setOutput(ios);
{color:#ff9900}
writer.write(outImage);
ios.close();}
} catch (IOException e) {{color}
System.out.println("Error :" + e);
So, I'm able to extract some keyframe, but i'm not sure it is the correct way and my dubt grows out of the fact that without the if expression highlighted in red, it seems that I have more keyframes (those ones with flag ==1040). Another problem is that it works only with AVI because MPG instead of 1040, they have alternate sequence of 32 and 1056.
Cheers and thank u
Marco

With the code yoodleyee posted, frames can be extracted and converted from the raw decoded format into images, but no guarantee that the frame extracted is a key frame, isnt it?Actually, there is such a guarantee...because the FrameGrabbingControl isn't implemented in any video format that uses keyframes. So, if it works, then every frame of the video is a keyframe, and it won't work otherwise.
How can key frames be detected with JMF and then extracted with the code provided? Any tutorial or sample code about that?They can't be. You can write a custom codec that will give you access to every frame, regardless of the format, if you're wanting to get all of the frames.
Example: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/FrameAccess.html]
But JMF doesn't have any way of dealing with key frames directly, at least that I am aware of.

Dropped frame warning after adding 3d video transition between 2 clips....

Hi all,
I have the MBP in signature and after making a very short sequence with 2 small clips (obtained by the same master clip, from/on my SSD, that is 640x480 / 10fps with AppleOPEN DML codec) between which I insert a 3D video transition (cross zoom), if I press the space bar for preview (with unlimited RT setting + dynamic setting for playback and frame quality) I get the dropped frame warning as soon as the playhead reaches the 3D transition in the playtime....Is this normal even with my very new MBP specs???
Note that I am currently on battery and not on charger (--> the GT330M is gently underclocked).
May you please advise?
Thanks
Emanuele

Hey there,
First of all, FCE doesn't support your media. You should really use something like the free [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> to convert it to DV-NTSC with a frame size of 720x480, a frame rate of 29.97, and audio set to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. Edit the media in a DV-NTSC sequence within FCE.
After applying almost any effect you'll need to render it out to view it in real time. The shortcut is Option-R.

Need Help Pasting Key Frames from one still image to others, and Changing the duration of multiple still images.

I'm working on a stop motion project, and I have at least a thousand still images to work with.
I have adjusted several Key Frame settings on the 1st still image in my project, such as
Brightness
Cropping
Scale
Position
I now want to apply these exact settings to hundreds of still images at a time that make up one scene in the project (but not all still images in the entire project).. Is there a way to paste or easily transfer them?
Also, there are scenes I'm working on in which I want to change the image duration of hundreds of photos at once, but not change to duration of all images in the project, is this possible?
I've looked at several different web-links, but none of them have what I'm looking for. If you can please help me, I'd be willing to send you $10 through paypal. Knowledge is power; the solution to these problems would save me hours of time. If you don't fully understand my questions I can send you a pictures or a video, pointing out my needs.

Stan,
Thanks again for your input.
When the project is created, I don't recall seeing the preference settings until after the project opens the first time. In that case if certain media was imported into the project panel but not in the sequence, after the duration was changed, it would be necessary to remove the media from the project panel then re-import again. If there is a workaround to this please let me know. It also doesn't appear that creating a new sequence would prevent the re-importing. Could you confirm?
Thanks for the link on automating to sequence--I remember that from CS4.
The application of identical effects to media on the timeline in a sequence was something I had learned back in CS3 or maybe earlier CS4 where the effected, in this case a transition between images was applied then copied then using the paste or (Control V) command, applied to all other stills. That worked fine but with lots of images, it ends up being a lot of "point and clicks" since the CTI must be moved to each transition insertion point before the paste is applied.
I actually thought that I had seen someone select the remainder of the images in the sequence then apply the paste command but I was never able to make that work. Have you heard of such a short-cut?
Much thanks again!!

Non additive dissolve video transition doesnt connect 2 photos gradually in my Premiere pro 5.5

non additive dissolve video transition doesnt connect 2 photos gradually in my Premiere pro 5.5, is there any settings for it?

I too am experiencing this issue. AVCHD footage, GPU Acceleration, trying to apply a cross dissolve, and instead it randomly seems to see it as a simple cut. The Cross Dissolve is simply ignored... Adjusting the footage length, removing the CDissolve, re-rendering, etc. have no effect. For whatever reason, in that specific location on the timeline, a cross dissolve with GPU acceleration is impossible. Yet, in other sections of the timeline, it is just fine.
(The Fast Blur trick mentioned above worked (Thank you!) however, when I changed my playback resolution on the screen display, that broke the fix. Deleting the fast blur, and applying it to the clip on the other side of the cross dissolve, re-enabled the work around)
I also see an issue when a clip changes in the timeline, (cut from one piece of footage, to another) the video will begin to studder, dropping frames. Framerate seems to drop to about 2fps. To get smooth playback back, I have to pause and resume the playback. Even if this is done very very rapidly, it still fixes the playback issue. it's just really annoying to have to constantly stop and resume playback everytime a video clip changes in the timeline.
I have a dedicated hard drive for video, and a dedicated mirrored array for the OS. the video drive is a 7200rpm SATAII drive, and I'm using AVCHD footage. I really don't think it's a disk speed issue... particularly as pausing and resuming (even if you do it as fast as you can possibly hit the keys) fixes it. I'd rather not spend the $ to set up a RAID 10 for video, if I can avoid it and particularly if it's not needed.

Video Transition: Dissolve disabled

I was trying to use a video transitional effect: Dissolve, which is my favorite. When clicking a "Video Transitions" folder under "Effect," I see Dissolve is highlighted red while all other transitional effects are highlighted in blue. Anyway, I dragged Dissolve to Timeline to apply. But it is not working when I preview. So I was trying to create the same effect by creating a few keys of opacity. It is not working, either. When previewing, the film went on ignoring opacity key frames.... My pc is HP, OS is Vista, 32-bit, 3GB, and Premiere Pro. Any advice or suggestions?

Following Jeff's suggestions, read up on "Handles."
Now, if you *need* to do a Transition, in an area, as Jeff describes in his last paragraph, Dip to Black is the only choice - no Dither Dissolves, no Page Curl, no Cross-Dissolves. Again, the "Handles" info will give you all of the detail that you need, including the do's, the don'ts and the "what will happen if I try it." Premiere will usually even throw an error message, that is explained in detail in the "Handles" section of the manual, though without that reading, you might not be able to make much sense of what it means, but it boils down to "what Jeff said."
Hunt
PS this is an often misunderstood, or overlooked aspect of NLE work. With film, it was a lot easier to grasp, 'cause you could actually see the frames on your A-roll and your B-roll and where the black leader was spliced to each. With digital, while it's MUCH easier to do, it's not as visually graphic and people just miss the concept. Once you read about it and think about it, it'll become patently clear.

Effects and key-frames not working on some clips Premiere CC 2014

Hi. I am having an issue where effects and key frames applied to both audio and video are not working, but only sometimes. Even after I render or export the video, the effects are not showing up. For example, trying to adjust volume using key-frames on some clips works fine, and not at all on others. The key-frames show up and I can see the volume changing in the effects panel, but it is not happening. Another example is changing the opacity on some video clips and it does not work sometimes. Same thing, I can see the key-frames and the values changing, but it's not actually happening. I have uninstalled and re-installed premiere pro and media encoder with no luck. I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers with no luck. Just to restate, this only happens on some clips and rendering or exporting the video does not help. My computer specs are:
MSI GT60 Laptop:
Intel Core i7 4800MQ (2.70GHz)
16GB Memory 1TB HDD 128GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB
2880 x 1620 16:9 3K Display
Windows 8.1 64-Bit

Here is the exact screenshot. Now I'm also trying other effects as stated in my original post. But this effect is just an example. Is there really something that I'm doing wrong here? Or am I forgetting something? Is there some special "adobe doesn't let keyframes work on mpg's" rule or something silly like that?
I wish that I could post a video, but I don't know how.
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work properly.

When I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it adds several frames to my animation

I am trying to edit an FLV file with flash professiona. Right now every frame is on long frame sequence, meaning that right now there is only one key fram in the entire 40 second animation. I am trying to add put key frames at various points in my animation but when I attempt to add a new key frame into the timeline it copies ever frame up to the selected and adds it to the front of my timeline. Any Idea how to fix this? I want to break my video up so I can add some shape tweens in between some of the frames

Why is the position of key frame BEFORE scene changes not after?

Why is the position of I frame BEFORE scene changes not after?
And, why doesn't MovieVideoChart show any I frames other than those that correspond to periodic "key frames every X frames"? Is it reading meta data and not really showing where the real existing I frames are located? I.e. WYSIAL (what you see is a lie)? If so, where can I get an affordable tool that will let me examine my files in this regard?
I have put compression and chapter marks at scene changes in FCP and have exported with markers for DVDSP (both chapter and compression).
I have read on this forum (somewhere) that when insert key frames every X frames is selected, Compressor is still going to insert key frames automatically at key frames.
When I last encoded with H.264 in Compressor, I selected option to insert I key frame every 90 frames (fps=29.97).
When I jump to chapter in my encoded video, where I had place a key frame at a cut, I end up with a chapter at the frame BEFORE the cut.
I will try moving my chapter/compression marks a frame ahead and see if that helps.
Certainly, others must have been plagued by this problem.
When encoding with MPEG2 for DVD, the same thing happens.
It is a real problem. I get one frame appearing before the cut in chapter skips.
Hope someone can illuminate this problem.

Hi there
As you have seen, RoboHelp doesn't understand how to create the layers you are wanting to achieve the effect in Word. It simply brings the images in as separate objects.
Basically there are two approaches you might consider.
You could insert Positioned Text Boxes and configure them to present the images as you want. If you take this approach, you will likely find yourself struggling to maintain the positioning consistently as well as noticing text flow issues. Personally, I'd avoid that approach.
The other approach involves displaying the images in your Word document so that you see them as intended, then screen capture so you grab the combined image. Then save that combined image and use it instead of the separate images in RoboHelp. This is the approach I'd suggest and that I use myself.
Cheers... Rick

Can't change default video transition duration in PRE7 project

I couldn't find the solution for the following problem. In one of my Premiere Elements 7 projects, suddenly the video transition default duration changed from 30 frames to 3 frames. After inserting this 3 frames long transition, I can adjust it (expanding or shrinking) in the timeline, change the duration via the "Edit Transition" dialog box, however there is no way I can change the default duration. I can change the duration value in the Edit > Preferences > General dialog box but it has no effect on the actual duration. This is true for all transitions. On the other hand, the other projects (I checked a few), also a new project work properly: In them, the default duration is 30 frames, and I can set it in the Properties dialog box to any other value. So, this problem appears to be project specific. I hope somebody can help me, so I do not have to redo this particular project. Thanks in advance, Laci.

Steve, This is the same camcorder I have been using the last five years. Other projects from footages taken the same time are working fine. Also, I just created a 'new' (test) project from the same clips (many clips, about 25 minutes, several bmp pictures in it) - and it also works fine! It must be some very peculiar feature of that particular project, and I do not think it is worth to spend more time with it. I just thought that it might have happened with somebody else and there is a known solution. I consider this issue closed, thanks for the help. Laci. (PS: I also have an insignificant problem: I uploaded my picture to my preferences page here a couple of months ago, set it to be displayed but it does not appear. Who could help with this? Thanks.)

Is there a way for the tracker to do key frames at the frame rate of the comp setting?

I was doing some tracking in a 24fps project (yes my comp settings are correct) and I was really annoyed to see that the track looked to be generating key frames at 29.98fps. Of course this means crazy jittering.
Is there a way I can change the rate that tracker generates key frames?
Please help. I use CS3.
Thank you in advance for your help.

(I assume that you mean 29.97, not 29.98.)
In all versions of After Effects, the motion-tracking keyframes are set at the frame rate of the footage item on which the layer is based, not at the composition's frame rate.
Have you checked to see that your footage item is interpreted to be 24fps?
Also, are you sure that this "jittering" that you're seeing is because of the rate of the motion-tracking keyframes?

Video transition on Adjustment Layer causing errors

I have video transitions (native, not plug-ins) on an adjustment layer without any effects. When playing, the video freezes on the last frame before the transition and then continues playing after the end of the transition. The transition does nothing but hold that frame. Also, if I try to render the work area or export, I get the "Error compiling movie: Unknown error". If I remove the transitions, things work ok.
Starting a New Project and importing the old one did nothing to fix the problem.
I've got plenty of RAM and HD space, please help.

Then...why are you using one. Just apply the transitions directly to the clips.
I did this to discover why another project was producing the "unknown error" when rendering and exporting. I kept everything clean changing one variable at a time on a new project: clip sources, resolutions, transitions, effects, adjustment layer, etc.
If rendering the sequence works, then that is the appropriate solution. Do you have a red line above the timeline indicating that you need to render? Or do you need to set the opacity at 99% - AND - then render to make it work.
Simply changing the opacity to 99% worked, no need to render.
Just out of curiosity, why are you putting transitions on an Adjustment Layer? I can't think of a reason, but then again, I use transitions between nested sequences a lot. Maybe it is in place of that?
An effect in an adjustment layer is jarring if its transition does not match one applied between clips.

Positioning media on a key frame

Hi,
I'm new to jmf, but I made a lot of things myself. I'm able to play video files (xvid, using jffmpeg), took the cut.java from the solutions and adopted to my needs. But I'm having a small annoyance with the cutting.
When I try to cut the video on a frame that is not a key frame I get audio/video desyncronization. The thing is that the cut.java program starts cutting the video from a key frame, that could be some 5-10 frames after the current (selected) frame.(I set my video files to have a key frame every 15 frames at most)
So an easy solution to my problem would be to set the starting point of the cutting on a key frame. And my question is: How to set the media time of my player/processor to a key frame?
I need something like processor.positionOnNextKeyFrame().
Thanks,
Bojan

Thanks for the reply,
I saw that one but somehow I cannot find out how to get the buffer from the processor? I tried the code from cut.java but I didn't like to go through every step when I have already loaded the file in a processor. Somehow I lost my self in that. Maybe it is the solution...
I was researching and found out that there might be a way if I could somehow get the Track from the processor. Track interface has a method:
readFrame(Buffer buffer) - Reads the next frame for this Track
So if I could get the track then I would be able to loop through the frames and do this check:
if ((buf.getFlags() & Buffer.FLAG_KEY_FRAME) != 0)
So how do I get the Track? Through the TrackControl somehow?
Thanks again

Video Transitions in Photoshop CS6

Is it possible to add more video transitions (additional to the existing fade transitions) to Photoshop CS6?

We don't have these effects available as drag-and-drop transitions. This could be submitted as a feature request. There are, however, some workarounds if you don't mind going through the steps:
1.) Wipe: Add a layer mask to the video file, fill the mask with black, unlink the mask, then add Layer Mask Position keyframes to move the layer mask across the video in time (you'll have to have a second clip positioned on a separate track and overlapping in time to get the effect). Add a small feather to the mask in the properties panel to taste (you may want to transform the mask, make sure it's unlinked first, to make it a little larger than the image area if you add feathering).
Diagonal wipes are bit trickier: Follow the same steps above but fill only half the mask with black (on a diagonal, polygon lasso can help with this) and you also need a mask that's larger than the image area so you can pan across (use free transform, make sure the mask is unlinked).
Shape Wipes: I believe this is impossible to do easily, because you would need to transform (scale) the layer mask across time, and this isn't available for layer masks (another feature request if you'd like). Technically you could still pull this off, but you would need to synchronize several different layers/layer masks across time and modify each one so that it forms part of the star shape. That's the only way I can think of currently, if you want something like a star wipe...
2.) Blur: There's a few different ways you could do this. Hardest and most accurate: individually blur each frame by incremental amounts (automate for convenience with an action or script). Different but similar effect: Copy the video, convert the copy to a smart object and place directly below the original on a separate track/video group. Blur the smart object (applies to all frames) and then use opacity keyframes on the original (unblurred) video layer to transition between the two.
3.) Lens Flare: Same steps/suggestions as blur, except replace the blur filter with lens flare filter.
