Match frame from a freeze frame back to its motion clip?

I can't get back to the motion clip I used to pull my freeze frame. It only goes back to the freeze frame master clip, even if I use match frame to source file. Any ideas?

The freeze frame you pulled from a clip should have the clip name and timecode from where it was grabbed from.
Go back to the source video clip at the matching timecode and you will find where you grabbed it from.

How to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript

Hi all,
Please suugest - how to make separate/individual text frame from one parent frame in indesign with javascript.
Thanks
Rohit

@Larry – ah, your interpretation could be the right one…
May I rephrase the question:
"How to split threaded text frames to single ones?"
"SplitStory.jsx" or "BreakFrame.jsx" under Scripts/Samples indeed could be the answer.
From the comments in the code of "BreakFrame.jsx":
//Removes the selected text frame (or text frames) from the
//story containing the text frame and removes the text contained
//by the text frame from the story.
//If you want to split *all* of the text fames in the story, use the
//SplitStory.jsx script.

How to MATCH FRAME a SUBCLIP back to its ORIGINAL CLIP?

What is the trick here in fcp to matching back into the source clip from which a subclip was made?
Is there a keystroke/button that will locate the master clip?
Thanks.

Hey! In a round-about kinda way, removing sub-clip limits seems to work...have to reload the subclip entry into the viewer window, but at least it shows the rest of the master clip.
Any other ideas out there?

How to call a j-frame from a main frame

I use both NetBean 5.5 and Forte for Java4
i would like to know how to call a j-frame from a main jframe window when a button is clicked after
action performed or moused clicked is set
i.e Main jframe (window) has a button ---> (grades) click it
should open the sub-jframe named grades with all the grades showin in that frame
your help please thanks

It sounds as if you want the button to open a dialog that displays your data such as a JOptionPane and not a JFrame.

J-InternalFrame - calling a new frame from a internal frame

hey..
currently i have a internal frame that automatically starts up. now i have a button within that frame that is going to open another frame.
if ("server_settings".equals(e.getActionCommand()))
      ALICE_InternalFrame.createServerSettings();
    }it tells me that i can not reference a non static method from a static one..
how do i make a frame

you probably have something like this
class Whatever
public static void main(String[] args)
    //some swing code
    doSomething();//<--errors here
public void doSomething()
}if so, instead use the constructor
class Whatever
public Whatever()
    //some swing code
    doSomething();//<--errors here
public static void main(String[] args)
    new Whatever();
public void doSomething()
}

How to remove a freeze frame in final cut pro x

I've added a freeze frame using Add Freeze Frame, but I don't know how to remove it and go back to the normal timing. I can remove it immediately with Undo, but I don't know how to do it later. I've searched around and the only close answer is using Modify > Retime > Reset Speed, but that doesn't do anything. I also don't see anything in the Inspector window that allows me to remove the freeze frame. Thanks.
Denise

Hello Denise,
Assuming your clip is on the Primary Storyline:
Press Cmd+B to Blade the clip immediately before the frame in question.
Select the first part of the clip and press Alt+Cmd+Up-Arrow to lift it from the Primary Storyline.
Drag out the end to cover the duration of the clip you want to overwrite.
Press Alt+Cmd+DOWN- arrow to overwrite to the Primary Storyline.
I hope that's what you're looking for.

Is it a freeze frame from your footage? You'll need to put a deinterlace filter on it I should think.

Single frames from handles sneaking into playback

I've got footage at Photo-Jpeg 24fps in a matching sequence.
During playback and in the renders, one frame from the handles in the tail of each clip gets shown. When stepping through, those frames are not there. Please tell me this is caused by a mundane setting hidden in some obscure menu, and that FCP is not really this sloppy.
Message was edited by: meatntaters

Dunno what to say. Just has been an issue for as long as I have been cutting on NLEs...happens on Avid, Premiere (the one I worked on in 1997), Media 100 (the one I worked on in 2000) and FCP. I don't quite understand what causes it, because it happened with an animated series I assisted for...and that was all 24fps too.
Instead of spending days trying to figure out what is causing this and what settings you might adjust to try to fix this, why not just take a half day and trim all the trouble spots? Just get it done and out of the way. I know...I know...I feel your pain. I know...

Match frame from subclip to original full clip?

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to match frame from a subclip to the original full clip? When I match frame from a clip in my timeline that came from a subclip, the subclip loads into the source monitor. I can't find how to then match frame from that back to the original. I am relatively new to Premiere Pro, and this is a very very useful feature over in Avid land.
Thanks.

Thanks for elaborating.
You can achieve at least part of what you describe by making your subclips "soft." To do so at creation-time, in the Make Subclip dialog, uncheck the option "Restrict Trims to Subclip Boundaries." To convert an existing "hard" subclip, access the Edit Subclip dialog (Clip>Edit Subclip, or right-click>Edit Subclip, or define a keyboard shortcut and use that) and uncheck the option.
Soft and hard subclips behave differently in two notable ways:
when you doubleclick a soft subclip in the Timeline, the Source Monitor loads the whole clip. The zoom/scrub bar is zoomed in to the In/Out range of what's used in the sequence, but you can zoom out to view the whole thing. Note that Match Frame does not load the clip in the same way--you're not able to zoom out. However, double-clicking a clip automatic matches frame (if the playhead is over the clip you clicked).
You can trim out beyond the defined Subclip Boundaries, either in the Timeline or Source Monitor.
Now, if you want to create a completely new subclip for a different segment, there's no direct command for that, but it's achievable through a series of steps that you may find easier than restarting from the original master clip. (Almost all of the following commands can be executed via keyboard shortcuts.)
Reveal in Project (from Timeline or Source Mon)
Duplicate
Load the dupe in the Source Monitor
Edit Subclip
Select the option "Convert to Master Clip" checkbox and click OK.
At this point, the whole clip will be loaded in the Source Monitor, zoomed to the subclip's In/Out range but without In/Out points set. You can set new In/Out points, then save a new subclip.
As to why PPro does not maintain a master/sub relationship, I'm afraid I have no clue. I'd say it merits a feature request--both to maintain the link and, naturally, to provide a way to jump from the subclip to the master. You can submit such a request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

How do I loop back from the first frame to the last frame?

Hi there,
I'm currently working on the framework for a product viewer.
I have:
a movie clip called 'viewer_mc' which contains the images take from different angles of the product. The actionscript generates a script on the last frame of this that returns it to frame 1.
a button instance called 'autoplay_btn' which plays through the movie clip from whatever the current frame is, and stops on frame 1.
a left and right button which serve to move the movie clip frame, to give the appearance that the product is rotating.
I have succeeded in getting it to:
have the movie clip play through once, return to frame 1 and stop.
have the buttons return functions when held down, that move the frame in the movie clip using nextFrame and prevFrame commands. The right button successfully loops round to frame 1 and continues functioning to give the appearance of continual rotation.
The last problem I am experiencing is getting the left button to act in the corresponding manner, going from the first frame to the last and continuing to function.
Here is my actionscript so far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
1. This is the part that gets it to play through once before returning to the first frame. I think perhaps the problem I am experiencing is because of the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' part i.e. although I'm holding the left button, its returning to this script and therefor getting bounced back immediately to the first frame. However, there is no flicker on the screen which you might expect if this were the case
Note - as this is a generic product viewer which I can use as a template I am using lastFrame etc. as opposed to typing the value in
function toStart (){
          viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
2. This is the functionality for the autoplay_btn that will play through a rotation / return the viewer to the initial (frontal) view of the product (frame 1).
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
          var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
          viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
3. This is the functionality of the right button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the next frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'nextFrame' command. It loops back round to the first frame due to the 'viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart)' script generated on the last frame of the movie clip, as is desired.
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
    viewer_mc.nextFrame();
4. This is the functionality of the left button, which when held, moves the movie clip to the prev frame via the 'rotateRight' function based on the 'prevFrame' command. And this is where the problem lies, as although it works for getting the movieclip back to frame 1, it does not loop round to the last frame and continue functioning, as is wanted.
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
I'd imagine it is probably my logic for this part that is really letting me down - I can do a similar function in actionscript 2, but am trying to learn actionscript 3 just to move with the times as it were, and struggling a bit. Still this is only a few days in!
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
          if(thisFrame==1){
                    gotoAndStop(viewer_mc.totalFrames-1);
          } else{
          viewer_mc.prevFrame();
Any help you can give me would be gratefully received. For an example of the effect I am trying to achieve with the autoplay button etc. I recommend:
http://www.fender.com/basses/precision-bass/american-standard-precision-bass

Thanks for getting back to me.
Here's the code without my comments / explanations:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var lastFrame:Number = viewer_mc.totalFrames;
var thisFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
var backFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame-1;
function toStart (){
          viewer_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
viewer_mc.addFrameScript(lastFrame-1, toStart);
//last image of viewer_mc = first image of viewer_mc
autoplay_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, autoplay);
function autoplay (ev:MouseEvent):void{
          var startFrame:Number = viewer_mc.currentFrame;
          viewer_mc.gotoAndPlay(startFrame);
right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rightDown);
function rightDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stoprightDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateRight); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stoprightDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateRight(e:Event):void {
    viewer_mc.nextFrame();
left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, leftDown);
function leftDown(e:Event){
    stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //listen for mouse up on the stage, in case the finger/mouse moved off of the button accidentally when they release.
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft);//while the mouse is down, run the tick function once every frame as per the project frame rate
function stopleftDown(e:Event):void {
    removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateLeft); //stop running the tick function every frame now that the mouse is up
    stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,stopleftDown); //remove the listener for mouse up
function rotateLeft(e:Event):void{
          viewer_mc.prevFrame();
The definition of the rotateLeft function is where the problem lies I think - I've taken out my poor attempts at doing the logic from the previous post. If I were to write it out long-hand the statement I want to write is: 'If you get to frame 1 and function rotateLeft is called go to the end of the movie clip'.
The reason I have to use the viewer_mc.totalFrames-1 definition in the addFrameScript call is the addFrameScript function is 0 based i.e. if you want to call frame 1 of the movieclip you have to return a value of 0 in the addFrameScript (or such is my understanding of it anyway). As such, the last image in the movie clip will need to be the view obtained at 360 degree rotation, which is of course the same view as at 0 degree rotation. As a consequence, the last frame in the movie clip is superfluous for the user, but necessary for the overall effect to be achieved. And, in addition, to keep up the effect of a 360 degree view when the rotateLeft function is called it needs to skip that last frame to go to the lastFrame-1 (or totalframes-1), or in other words, the view of the image prior to completing the full 360 rotation.
the variables thisFrame and lastFrame are defined at the very top of the script. Like you said they might need to be defined or called on again elsewhere.

I wish to export several still images from iMovie as JPEG or TIFF. Is it possible to do this using iMovie, if so how? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've already managed to add a freeze frame to extract the desired frame but I can't export it. Thanks.

Ach... I found a solution thanks to previous posts which came to light after I'd posted what was obviously a question that had been asked before.

How do I move a freeze frame from iMovie 11 as a photo into iPhoto?

In prior versions of iMovie, I could isolate a freeze frame or still from the movie clip and then move it somewhere and it would become a regular photo to be manipulated in iPhoto. How do I do that in iMovie 11?

First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.

Black still Image from freeze frame

I have a timeline who’s video was captured from the same source tape as one master clip.
For some reason, when I try to make a freeze frame on some of the clips, the image comes up black, like a slug. The clip shows up fine in the Canvas and double clicking it, it is OK in the Viewer.
With some other clips in the timeline, I get the expected proper freeze frame. All clips are from a single master clip.
I also tried getting a freeze frame from the viewer, but the same results. Some clips work and others produce a black slug.
I tried both shift-Z and freeze frame from the menu.
Kinda strange.
Any ideas? Trash preferences?
Thanks,

We've been having this problem on a large "clean up" job, on a project we've been working on. We found that making smaller clips of the freeze frames, seems to work. So the initial clip was 5 to 7 minutes, I cut them into 2 minute chunks, and just copied and pasted. I also replaced a few of them, with mattes and basically tried to re-invent the wheel, of the original files. This worked better. I realize this doesn't help if you're working with images. We're dealing with powerpoints..
weird stuff.

How do I create a freeze frame from footage and extend that for 5 seconds?

I have a quicktime screen grab movie I've imported, and I want to hold on a certain frame that's at the very beginning of the clip, and then proceed with the movie when the voiceover (separate soundtrack) gets to a certain point.
iMovie 11.
Thanks
doug

Hi Doug,
Position the playhead/skimmer (vertical red line) at the very beginning of the clip. The playhead should snap to the first frame, provided you have this turned on in the menu item View > Snap to Ends.
Without moving the playhead, right-click (or Control-click) and select Add Freeze Frame from the pop-up menu. The default duration is 4 seconds (although this setting can be changed for individual projects in File > Project Properties). To adjust the duration in the timeline, double-click on the freeze frame to open the Inspector. In the Clip tab you can change the duration by typing in a new time.

Can i freeze frame picture from imovie

Can i freeze frame a picture from imovie?

Go to the iMovie menu and choose "About iMovie." It will tell you there.
The latest you were able to download will depend on what operating system you are running.
