Movie gets sudden change in fps (running way too fast)?

Hi
I am currently trying to port a game that I wrote in as2 to use as3.
Most of my code is divided into classes but my art and buttons are placed on the time line and divided into different scenes.
Now getting access to these objects are no problem. I just wait for a render event and then I get their reference by using getChild from the root object.
Now my problem is that when I change scenes the game suddenly speeds up and run really fast for some time and then goes back to normal.
My first experience with this problem was when I added a skip button to my game intro.
since I didn’t stop it but simply chanced scene it went on playing in the ”background” as I could still hear the sounds from it.
now when I entered the new scene every animation ran twice as fast or even faster and it stopped once my intro finished in the "background" or wherever it was . I solved the problem by simply stopping all animations before changing scene and thought that was the solution, but I soon discovered that, that didn’t work at some places.
When I had made the menu scene working and started moving between some other scenes without animations but with lots of movie clips the problem reappeared.
I tried to track my problem down to some move clips and I sort of did find some that I could remove to solve my problem but these clips only contained one frame and had text in em so there was no animations to stop. Also the speedup got pretty random, sometimes I got lucky and the speedup didn’t happen but most of the times they did.
Now my question is why are these speedups happening, and how do I prevent them?
I have been thought about copying everything on each scene into a movieclip and then add and remove those clips to stage, and when I change scenes I just swap em, but there has to be a better way to solve this problem right ?

are you using setInterval() anywhere? runaway intervals are the most common cause of anything occuring too rapidly.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this?

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this? This is the way I scrolled for MIDI editing on Logic 9

Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
Have a nice day!

Mabook pro 13 in. OSX Runs way too slow. Constantly Buffers Too much. Several questions in summary.

I have a Macbook Pro 13 in. Running OSX 10.9.4
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have always sworn by my Mac. It's the best. However in the last 5 months or so everything I do on my Mac take so much time because it runs so slow. My Mac buffers upon every command. It buffers when I move the mouse, every time i click the mouse, when i open app, close app, when I right click on apps, and it buffers at least one time every sentence when typing on word. I have repaired petitions or utilities in the disk utility. Seemed to help a bit but if it even did it was short lived. I haven't noticed it so bad until I installed Mackeeper and ran a few clean ups.(could/could not be relevant). I want to know also how to clean the mail caches from the Mail app and also Microsoft outlook. I read cleaning them out could help performance but I don't want to accidentally erase all of my mail. I do use the mail app heavily. Or rather I use to before my mac ran slow. Please help me to get my mac up and running fast and smooth like it did before. Mac use to get a little hot when not doing it's best before. in the bavk on the bottom, under the screen. However it doesn't run hot anymore, or lately anyway. Last few days has ran pretty good but today its back to it's worst. Thanks a million and any and all help is welcome. Thanks again.

Remove "MacKeeper" as follows. First, back up all data.
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Don't empty the Trash. Let MacKeeper delete itself.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
If you still have problems after taking the above steps, see below.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Tiger running way too hot

Hello,
Fan/Cooling Issue
Since upgrading from Panther to Tiger the cooling fan runs nearly continuously. It may rest for about a minute then it begins running again. The CPU speed is sent on 'Automatic'. If I set it to 'Reduced' it runs way to slow, which should be expected. However, with Panther I never had this problem: when set on 'Reduced' I rarely heard the fan. It appears that Tiger does not recognize 'Automatic' but only acknowledges 'Highest' and 'Reduced' CPU settings. This is needless wear and tear on my PB and am not happy about this at all.
Folder Fragmented Names
Folder names longer than one line are also an issue. The second line is never clearly seen and when the folder is moved, part of the second line text is left behind. Never had this problem with Panther either.
For my purposes, Tiger is no improvement over Panther. If I could get my money back and return to Panther, I would.

17 PowerBook, 1.33 Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9) 2 GB Ram

I'm back.
All of the Desktop icons are back. The 'Delocalizer' icon is now gone as well. That's a strange one because I trashed that file when I was finished using it yesterday.
This may help your diagnosis. When I installed Tiger, it failed to preserve my Admin name and password but came up with 'Administrator (root)' which did not look good at all. I called Applecare and he said that was a very bad omen and to re-install Tiger which I did. However, when the log-in screen appears, the strange 'Other' appears together with my name. The 'Other' has an blue icon with planets in it. I've never seen this before, so perhaps this is a new Tiger icon which should really belong to the Administrtor - me - rather that to 'Other'. All of this makes me uneasy. I just experienced an OS crash in March which Bee (and others) helped me through for which I am very grateful. However, it appears that this PB is still not completly recovered.
I am now burning a DVD and then, come what may. I would be much happier just to re-initialize my HD and start fresh again.
There has to be some corrupt files or conditions which are carried forward from upgrade to upgrade and continue to plague this computer.
I just tried to use Apple's Backup which I've used sucessfuly before, and it failed: 'Failed backup on May 19, 2006 at 9:55 AM'.
What next?

2LIS_03_UM Running way too long in BWQ Quality environment- ideas

Hi, I am initializing my Materials and everything has gone fine except that I have some UM Valuations taking way too long.
1. 2LIS_03_BX - 15 Minutes
2. 2LIS_03_BF - 45 Minutes for 1 Year of transactions took
3. 2LIS_03_UM - 7 Parallel Jobs 1 for each plant
All UM's were under 45 min except for 2 plants. Plant 2000 just finished in 8.5 hours and Plant 1000 is still running for over 10 hours. I verified the background parameters and the variant for plant 1000 is for 03/31/2011 - 12/31/999 and for plant 1000.
any ideas why these two last UM setups would be taking sooooo long?
What will I do if my setup in Production takes this long?

Hi,
Typically UM will have less number of postings. Please try to run this with only posting date selection ( without plant ).
The job might get completed faster.
Thanks,
Krishnan.

660ti running way too hot.

I recently ordered a MSI N660 Ti PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB for a new computer I built. I downloaded a couple of temperature monitor programs and noticed that the GPU temp was getting as high as 80-85c under full load. Idle it's around 32c. This seems like it's way too hot. Even though it's brand new I used a can of compressed air to try to clean out any dust, which didn't help.
Any help would be appreciated, I'd really like to get back to playing games without fear of melting my GPU.

That is not way too hot as it's max temp specified for is 97°C: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-660ti/specifications
Also only use Afterburner to monitor temps of your PE (best with OSD): >How to use MSI Afterburner<
Check with running Kombustor out of Afterburner and if card does not exceed 90°C you are fine with any game.

My movies which were bought from iTunes play way too dark in iTunes.

My movies play way too dark in iTunes. This is only the case when I connect my Mac Mini to my TV through HDMI. What's strange is that when the subtitles in the movies come up the picture goes to the correct brightness. Normally, however it is different to see most of the scene when it is a night shot or a dark scene. The brightness on the TV does not seem to affect it, I believe this is a software issue. Are there any controls for picture quality that I am missing?

You device has limited capacity.
If you have toooooooo many movies, that occupy toooooo much space, you will not be able to add any movies oor music without deleting something else.

IMovie import plays WAY TOO FAST!

I am importing video from a DV (Sony DCR-HC96) straight into iMovie. The transition is smooth and recorded content plays in normal time from DV camera. During transition, the video appears in normal speed on the Mac.
However, when the import is completed -- and I try and PLAY the video on my Mac (MacBook Pro), the speed of the movie is SCREAMING FAST (16x-20x too fast.)
Anybody feeling smart about this?
Would really(!) appreciate your help....

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
When you say "transition" I think you mean "import" ..the process of passing the video from the camcorder into iMovie. (..A "transition" is generally something which you apply in iMovie; a means of changing from one video clip to another via a 'cross-fade' or a 'dissolve', etc..)
The specifications for this camera, on Sony's page (click on that blue link) and on Amazon's page both mention..
"..Progressive Shutter System
A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition."
If you've shot your movie(s) using progressive recording (..using a shutter speed marked 'p', such as '30p' or '24p'..) then iMovie may play it back faster than normal. This is because iMovie normally expects DV to consist of two 'interlaced' fields of video (two sets of lines which each make up half-a-picture) instead of single full frames of video.
(..On the other hand, the "progressive" in the specifications may refer only to still photos; it's not easy to tell from the descriptions whether or not the video may be shot as progressive, too..)
If it's NOT playing fast because you've shot progressive video ('p') instead of interlaced video ('i'), then I can't think of a reason just now why it'd be playing fast ..sorry.

Quicktime .mov... Audio plays way too fast.

I have a Quicktime video http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/flash/MacDmemo2-2-320x240x30FPS.mov
which plays the Audio portion like Alvin and the Chipmunks. The original was created in Adobe Premiere Elements @ 29.xxx FPS, under Windows XP Pro. (It did the SAME thing, BTW, when I encoded it at 15 FPS.
I have no idea why the video appears OK on this, but the sound is all sped up.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
-Andrew

Please help!
I have this same audio playback always sounds like Alvin & the chipmunks, even on TV episodes, songs I download or upload, but not in game play.
I've run the Windows troubleshooter, dxdiag, and searched for this on iTunes and Quicktime websites and manuals.
Does anyone have a clue what is wrong and what is needed?

A305-S6845 Running Way Too Hot and Shutting Down

Greetings! Has anyone else had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite running so hot that it shuts down all by itself at least once per day? That is what mine is doing. The fan seems to be running fine and there is no dust or anything like that in the way.
How can I cool this thing down? Around 60 minutes after startup, it is so hot that it is uncomfortable on my palms to use it. It will normally run super hot like that for several hours and then shut down automatically, presumably to keep itself from melting or something.
Thanks in advance!

Could be hair and lint in the processor heatsink or perhaps the thermal compound between the heatsink and processor has dried out.
Have it serviced by a competent shop. If you are feeling brave, DIY following the instructions here:

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Scrolling way way way too fast????

Hello everyone. I still have 08 on my iMac and when I open a even and use the scroll wheel on my wireless mouse it just flies right through all the thumbnails. I have adjusted the scroll speed in system preferences but it makes absolutely no change when in iphoto. Is this how it is supposed to be?
Just checked in on my Mini HTPC running 09 and it is the same way. In the main iPhoto window the scroll speed seems fine, but when I open an event the pictures just whip by when using the scroll wheel.
Thanks everyone. I have been dealing with it forever now, but it is a little annoying.

Guess this is normal, does it on all my Macs. Will try one of the Macs at the Apple store next time I am there to see if it is doing it on those as well.

After effects looping way too fast

Hello all,
First, please be advised I am brand new to this so please bare with me while I'm getting my feet wet. I followed this tutorial on youtube Make A Cool Intro | After Effects & Photoshop Tutorial - YouTube and go through most of it pretty easily, however, I used a 10 second time line and the loop seems to cross every second instead of over the 10 second period. Now, I did notice that if I click anywhere along the time line, I seem to have either a 1 second or 2 second interval all the way from 0 to 9, and can't ever actually get to 10 on the time line, only as far as 9 with the highlighted area covering the space between 9 and 10. I believe that is why it's looping so fast, however, I have absolutely no idea how to extend the area the entire 10 seconds. Any assistance would be highly appreciated!

First, if I understand the question correctly, hit the End key the CTI (aka timeline cursor) goes to the end of the comp. Hit the e (for end) key to extend the comp workspace. AE will RAM Preview as much of the timeline as there is RAM available.
Ah, but we don't know how much RAM you have! So you need to go here to learn the diagnositc info we need:

And third, YouTube tutorials can be iffy. It's far better to lean AE from the AE Pros instead of some high school kid who can miss things, don't you think? In which case, you go here:

HP Envy Cartridge runs out too fast!

Dear HP, I have had my HP Envy for 18 months and am growing frustrated of the ink cartridges running out of ink too quickly. I purchased a brand new 61 black ink cartridge just last week and only printed 2 Word documents, 5 school forms (1 page each) and about 25 pages of coupons, and today the black ink ran out....after just one week and about 32 pages! It's not worth $20 for j ust 32 pages...that's almost $1.00 per page! I have an old HP Deskjet that only cost me $29.99 and the $15 cartridges last at least 3 times longer. I'm tired of wasting my money on ink and feel very cheated. Regards, Laura Hamann

Hi @Villaverde
I would like to help you with your concerns about your ink usage. The regular size colored cartridge have a page yield expectancy of 165 page, and the XL one have a 330 page yield.
Actual yield will vary depending upon the amount of content on the page.Highly "dense" documents, such as the text document below, may yield fewer pages than the ISO standard, while less dense ones such as the organization chart below would yield more pages than the standard.Printing that uses primarily one color could cause lower yields for that color, and higher yields for colors not heavily used.The yield you experience will depend upon the content that you print.
The five standard ISO pages
High density text
Org Chart
The information above and more can be found here: How HP measures inkjet page yields.
If you are still concerned that you are not getting an adiquite page yield from your cartridges, I suggest calling HP. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
I hope this helps.
