Odd frame issue

Hi,
I have recently got PE10 and am gradually getting to grips with it. One thing I have noticed a couple of times is when I put several video clips together and work on them with effects or dissolves etc. Sometimes I get a single frame at the end of the last clip which actually comes from the first clip! I do know that you can move one clip over another so you get one clip running into another and them it continues with the first clip. But in this case once this extra frame appears I cannot actually remove it. I am sure it is a normal behaviour of the software but have not grasped what I am doing that causes it. Any ideas?
cheers   

The "odd Frames," appear, because of a lack of Handles on the Clips, when Transitions are used. This ARTICLE goes into more detail, and explains how to add Handles, by resetting the In and/or Out Points of the Clip.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Odd frames around navigation bar

    Hi,
    So far this forum has been so helpful! I am hoping someone can help a newbie here.
    When I look at this web site that I designed in Dreamweaver, it looks fine in Safari but has these odd frames around the navigation buttons in Firefox. Can anyone offer me some advice?
    Thanks!
    Kathryn

    Rather than posting a screenshot, it's always best if you post a link to the live site for these issues so we can see the page and code.
    Even if the site is not ready to go live, upload to some temporary webspace, give us a link then pull the page down off the server.
    At a guess, add the following to your CSS stylesheet
    a img { border: 0; }

  • Dropped frames issue on a G5 2.7DP w/DV footage

    Let me first tell you my setup:
    G5 2.7 DP
    8 GB RAM
    WiebeTech TrayDock eSATA 4-bay drive enclosure w/Sonnet 4+4 eSATA PCI Card
    (2) 400 GB Seagate Barracudas in the enclosure RAIDed in a striped config using Apple's Disk Utility
    10.4
    FCP 5
    At seemingly random times, playback from the timeline will stutter and stop, thus throwing up the dropped frames dialog box. If I re-play from the same point, it will normally play. This has happened on several current projects in which I'm working in DV. I've also worked on a project in 8bit uncompressed using my Kona LS card with the same drives, and had the same error.
    I've had this issue ever since I setup this system--from the first install of FCP5 to the most recent update of 5.0.3, as well as from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. I've tried turning off the internal Airport card in the G5, and quitting all other programs.
    There is a little utility that came with the Kona card to test data rate of your drives. I'm getting well over 100 MB/s Read, and slightly less write rates, so it seems like drive speed isn't an issue.
    What is the weak link here? WiebeTech was nice enough to send me a replacement eSATA PCI card, and the issue hasn't gone away, so it wasn't a bad card, although I guess there could be some flaw inherent in all of the cards.
    What other steps should I take to try and isolate/solve this problem? This is kind of embarrasing that I can't play DV footage on the timeline without the possibility of dropping frames--even when working with only one layer of video.
    I'm capturing video to the eSATA RAID, and my project files/graphics reside on an internal SATA drive in G5 (not the boot drive--I added another seagate 250 gb). Seems like there should be enough throughput in this thing to handle basic edits, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
    Your ideas?????

    Clay,
    Regarding your statement "My thinking initially about my workflow was to not keep them on the same drive as the footage because my feeling is that the RAID isn't as "safe" as the single 250 GB drive I have inside the G5".
    I store all of my media, GFX and project files on whatever FW drive I happen to be using for a project. I NEVER have media for a specific project on two or more drives. For safety's sake, I ALWAYS have my Autosave Vault set to my internal drive, with a relatively high save rate (every 10 min). That way if the FW drive ever failed completely, I'd at least have a recent copy of the project file to work with (even if I have to redigitize the footage or redo the GFX). All I can say is keep all of your media (per project) on one drive - it's been kind of the Bible in this industry for years, and as far as I know it hasn't changed.
    As far as RAID's go, I'm no expert. But if I remember correctly, back in my old Avid days we also used to avoid having the media on different striped partitions - something else you may want to try if you're media is spread across a few stripes.
    It seems like I've run across more than a few posts here regarding the same problem happening on Dual 2.7's. You may want to do a more thorough search here to see what you come up with. All I can say is I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 Dual 2.0 with only 2.5 meg of RAM and have had no dropped frame issues.
    Try Matt's suggestion of playing some footage off of your boot drive (NOT recommended for everyday use!). If it works then it's got to be a problem with your RAID and not FCP.
    Good Luck!

  • How to overcome "dropped frame" issues on my project

    Hey reader,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 250GB hd (85GB free just now) running 10.4.11, FCE HD 3.5 (and QT 7.5.5) and using a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 (which is works BEAUTIFULLY with iMovie 08 and 6 and is always used with Sony tapes) and I am not able to "capture" the tape content to my MacBook Pro because of the "dropped frame" issue.
    The camera is connected to the external hard drive chain via Firewire cable to the MacBook Pro and I was trying to capture to the internal hard drive. I am in the UK and am still struggling to get my head around the different frame rates but initially I got the dreaded "dropped frames were encountered during the last capture attempt" and it just wouldn't work, so I unselected the report dropped frames tab and abort capture in User Preferences as was suggested on here.
    Now I get "Capture encountered a problem reading data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved" but the tape is fine (heads are also clean) as I had to (under time pressure, me) use iMovieHD 6 instead and it worked like a CHARM.
    What can I do to use this software?
    I KNOW I can import the iMovie footage but the disadvantage is the eternal rendering, I guess. I only ever used it once (because of its difficulties) and that was for pre-existing footage from iMovie and it was OK if not perfect. Just had to have a few hours extra for the constant rendering in preview...
    Should I try to capture to one of the external hard drives? I read that the internal might be a problem as it is busy with the operating system jobs.
    Please and thank you.

    I got some dropped frames last night and posted this before noticing your post:
    There can be a number of reasons for getting dropped frames during capture.
    Yesterday I videoed a relative's wedding (in HDV) and on getting home late I captured the footage into FCP 6.0.3 only to find in a couple of places I got an abort on dropped frames.
    This morning I decided to recapture and did so without a single dropped frame.
    Why ? ......... there are several possibilities.
    It could be that there was some physical problem with the tape or camera heads but I believe it was most likely caused by my camera's power supply.
    Last night I used the battery whilst this morning I plugged in the power connector.
    I feel that this provided a more constant supply of full power and helped prevent frames from being dropped. (The fact I was using FCP is immaterial as the dropped frames would almost certainly have also occurred in FCE).
    From now on I will always use the power connector during transfer to and from the camera.

  • How to wiggle a layer on odd frame numbers.

    Hello. I am using AE CS6. Now I am trying to make an cartoon animation, and now I am trying to wiggle some layers' position.
    But I don't want to wiggle the layers on every frame. I want to wiggle them only on odd frame numbers.
    I mean, I want to wiggle them on frame 1,3,5,7,,,,, but don't want to wiggle on frame 0,2,4,6,,,,,  .
    I am not familiar with expressions, but is it possible to make such a expression? I don't know what to write in "If" clause of wiggle expression.
    Please give me your advice. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you, but it wiggles my layers on even frame numbers.
    I need to wiggle them on odd numbers by wiggle expression, because they have keyframes on even frames.
    My animation is moving on even frame numbers via position keyframes I set manually, so I want to wiggle them on odd frame numbers using expression.
    Anyway, I managed to make an expression using Mylenium's expression.
    XXX = Math.floor((timeToFrames(time)+1)%2);
    if(XXX < 1 )
    wiggle(10,50);
    else
    value;
    It wiggles my layer on odd numbers.
    Thank you for your imfomation.

  • Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

    Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
    Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
    I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
    Any ideas on how to remedy this?

    Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
    iWeb
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    Safari

    If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

  • Odd Reporting Issue (ENTERPRISE)

    I have a client with some users experiencing a rather odd reporting issue. The report runs fine, but only shows values for the totals and not the line items that make up the total.
    For example, when I run the report (logged in as admin as well as under their ID), I see:
    Net Sales 1,234
    Cost Of Sales (1,111)
    Gross Margin 123
    When they log in on their machine, they see:
    Net Sales
    Cost Of Sales
    Gross Margin 123
    Very odd. I figured maybe it was an application setting, but the INI didn't look off anywhere particular.
    They are running Enterprise 6.3.1 (yeah, insert comment here on the upgrade needed).
    Any thoughts???

    Check their Effective rights, and reset them, that has worked out for me. Otherwise, try copying the user and paste it as a new user and retest; I had to delete users and recreate them to correct problems of this nature.

  • Official comment from Apple about the drop frame issue?

    Is Apple going to firmware fix the skipping drop frame issue on the Apple tv?
    Or is it hardware related?
    Too many of us seem to have experienced this issue for it not to be addressed.
    It shouldn't be difficult to fix.
    My 1st gen atv was fine.
    I should have kept it.

    Hopefully it can be fixed. Seeing as Apple has not even acknowledged it I returned mine yesterday since I was coming up on my 30 day return deadline. At least this way I'm not stuck with a device that has a hardware issue.
    As of yesterday I have seen this issue on 10 different New Apple TV units, all on different HD sets, different network setups etc. Half of the owners had never noticed it. Two of those were adamant they did not have the problem and one of those still insisted they didn't after I spotted it multiple times. So while the issue has been present on 100% of the units I have seen, its not necessarily noticeable to everyone. I have noticed its much easier to spot on larger displays and when the display quality itself is higher, for example easier to spot on a higher quality 61" 1080p set than a lower quality 720p 26".
    If you have the option I would return the unit. Worse case is your don't have the unit, which is not functioning 1005 anyway, for a short period and then grab it again if the issues get addressed.

  • Potential workaround for green frame issue

    Hi,
    We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
    To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
    Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
    Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.
    </Lib>
    </config>
    should be replaced with 
    <Video>
    <EnableWideSupport>0</EnableWideSupport>

  • 720p60 P2/HD Dropped Frame Issue

    I'm having a dropped frame issue in FCP with some P2 720-60p footage. I can't get it to play through a sequence without freezing and giving me a warning. We've narrowed it down to an apparent processor issue. There are two tracks of audio (a stereo pair), and two tracks of music (again, a stereo pair). When we turn off the music, the sequence plays fine. But when the music goes back on, the sequence chokes. The funny thing is, I just did an HD project shot in 24p/n with several tracks of audio and several tracks of video and, aside from needing to render certain things, it played fine.
    Any ideas?
    Here are the specs:
    P2 footage originated in 720/60p
    AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS:
    Sequence Preset: DVCPro HD 720p60
    Video Playback: None (there isn't an output card for this computer).
    SEQUENCE SETINGS:
    Frame Size: 960x720 (HD 960x720 16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)
    Editing Timebase: 59.94
    Compressor: DVCPro HD 720p60

    Any ideas here?

    Then it's pointing at a throughput problem between the RAID and the server I'll guess. Trouble shooting that could be interesting. Can you move the media to a local drive?
    I'd also be interested to see what AJA's read/write speeds are on that RAID from your station...
    Post the gear between your mac and the server etc.. whose RAID is it, How is it formatted? Got a model number of each of the devices involved? Mac Server?

    You've selected the "Easy setup" for the format you're editing too, right?

  • Rotated image/frame issue

    I'm using Frame 8 and Acrobat 3D 8 and having issues with rotated images or frames. When printing to paper, the graphics are fine, but if I print to PDF, the top of the image is cropped. Text lines are visible but the top inch of the imported graphic is not. I wonder if this is a setting in Acrobat or a Frame issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    > I have tried using jpg
    Jpeg is a particularly bad format for screen captures. Tiff would be
    better; I don't know enough about png. Ages ago, in a much earlier
    version, I had trouble with large bitmaps printing properly in Frame
    (not exactly the same problem - they were printing fine for about 3/4 of
    the page and then it printed all "bunched up" and the bottom 1/4 didn't
    print). I started using EPS (bitmap eps, saved from Photoshop). This not
    only solved the problem, it had the added benefit of displaying much
    faster (because the eps files had only a low-res preview, so Frame
    didn't hesitate on each graphic to read in the whole file).
    I'd be happy to look at one of your pngs, see if it works here, but I'm
    on Frame 7 (just ordered Frame 9), so I'm not sure if my results would

  • Odd netowrking issues on 2 Dell PowerEdge servers

    Hi, we have recently installed two Dell PowerEdge servers both set-up with Windows Server 2008 R2. I used the Dell Systems Management disk to install the OS which pre-loads certain drivers, etc.
    Since the install I have been trying to track down and fix some very strange behaviour with both servers, in particular with MS Exchange 2007 and IIS.
    The issues on server 1 (file server) are no access to Windows Updates (0x80072EE2), certain users on other VPN sites having problems accessing certain areas of our Intranet that require authentication, odd problems using IE on the server - for example
    I can go to Google, carry out a search but when I click on a result it just sits there waiting for Google. There are no issues with users on the same site, and there are no issues accessing the server shares from any site.
    The issues on server 2 (Exchange server) are even more odd and have me rapidly pulling out my hair. With the site we can send and receive between this server and an old Exchange 2003 server with no problems, Public Folder replication from the old server
    to the new is occurring with no problems and we can send messages with large attachments both to external users and users on other sites. However when we start looking at incoming connections this is where it gets odd. Incoming external messages over 4Mb are
    delayed and eventually bounced - our provider says that they are getting timeouts. Incoming messages with attachments from two other internal Exchange 2007 sites are getting delayed and from one sites are not getting through at all. Messages without attachments
    are not getting through at all. In the Exchange logs I am seeing Connection Timeout and Connection Dropped messages.
    I am very sure that the problem is not with message size as all parameter relating to message size are set to 100Mb. I know it is not a firewall issue as redirecting incoming external messages to the old Exchange server is fine.
    To my mind this looks like there is something on these servers which is messing with http/https/smtp when communicating outside the local subnet. I have checked for viruses and mal-ware and for testing purposes disabled AV and firewall but this makes no
    difference.
    I have two other PowerEdge server on another site with similar configurations which have been working fine for 18 months. The only big difference I can see between the servers is that these two are the only one where I used the Dell Systems Management disk
    to install the OS. I have Googled 80072EE2 and it does appear that other have seen the same problem and their way to resolve it was to wipe and reinstall directly from the Microsoft disk and no use the Dell Systems Management Disk.
    However, this is not an option here as these servers are both in a live environment (I know, should have made sure everything was running properly before going live, but these had to be put in place rapidly to replace failing servers).
    From what I can see of the servers it does appear that somewhere along the line Dell have used files which are causing some networking issues on these two servers - can anyone advise me if there is a reasonably straight-forward way to remove the network
    components form the servers and then reinstate from the Microsoft disk?
    I have tried the fixed relating to Windows Update from the suggestion offered searching for 80072EE2.
    I have tried installing the latest Dell drivers for the network adaptor, and also the latest Broadcom ones.
    I have tried switching off various Offload settings on the NIC as suggested by other although that was more relating to Hyper-V issues.
    Anything else I should be looking at, or can anyone tell me what else to look for on the servers?
    Many thanks, Eddie

    Hi Eddie,
    Based on your description, we have many different problems in two servers as below,
    In the file server.
    -> The issues on server 1 (file server) are no access to Windows Updates (0x80072EE2).
    -> odd problems using IE on the server - for example I can go to Google, carry out a search but when I click on a result it just sits there waiting for Google.
    I noticed that you mentioned that you have tried the fixed relating to Windows Update. Have we solved this issue? And another issue, IE could access Google but can’t access
    the links in search result. It seems that this issues are related to name resolution. To verify if the name resolution works fine. Please ping the DNS server at first. If we can ping DNS server, we can also ping
    www.google.com and other domain names to verify the function of name resolution. Please try to use ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns command in server 1. And the DNS port(53) was opened. After this, if the problem
    still exist, please involve the administrator of DNS server to help verify if the domain name resolution has some problems.
    -> certain users on other VPN sites having problems accessing certain areas of our Intranet that require authentication
    I’m a little unclear about this part. If the VPN connection has set up successful, it is possible that the user need be authenticate when the user access some resource of the
    Intranet. So what is the certain areas and what prompt we received.
    In the Exchange server.
    ->Incoming external messages over 4Mb are delayed and eventually bounced - our provider says that they are getting timeouts. Incoming messages with
    attachments from two other internal Exchange 2007 sites are getting delayed and from one sites are not getting through at all. Messages without attachments are not getting through at all. In the Exchange logs I am seeing Connection Timeout and Connection Dropped
    messages.
    -> I am very sure that the problem is not with message size as all parameter relating to message size are set to 100Mb.
    We can send messages but we can’t receive messages, it was delayed or it can’t get through. And I notice that you mentioned that the message size is
    not the problem. To verify if the network have problems about the size messages. We can also download a file whose size is over 5Mb from the Internet. If we can download the file, maybe it’s not the network problems.
    -> I know it is not a firewall issue as redirecting incoming external messages to the old Exchange server is fine.
    Maybe we could also turn off the firewall temporarily to see if the firewall block some connection.
    -> To my mind this looks like there is something on these servers which is messing with http/https/smtp when communicating outside the local subnet.
    If we think the http/https/smtp are related to this issues, maybe we could check if all ports about this service was opened.
    And due to server 2 is an Exchange server, there might be some wrong with the Exchange services. We have the related Exchange forum with professional
    to deal with this issue. If there are still some problems with Exchange server, maybe we can try to create a new thread about Exchange.
    Best Regards,
    Tina

  • MacBook Pro odd display issue, won't run anymore

    This is a 2006 MacBook Pro 15" A1211  Intel core 2 duo 2.16 model.  Diagnostics says nothing is wrong.  The computer is no longer functional as it won't go beyond this screen.  Any ideas what failed on this?    Initially the odd video pattern was intermittent and if you booted a few times you'd get in and be able to use the computer and could get in via safe mode, but not any longer.

    This is not a petty software issue. You Mac has a hardware problem, and you need to get it looked at.
    You can make an appointment at the genius bar at your local Apple store, and they will evaluate it for nothing, in warranty or out of warranty.

  • Frame issue in Workspace with IE8/XP/Reader 9.4

    When a user opens a form from a "to do" in Workspace, the form opens in a frame outside of and superimposed over the normal Workspace interface.  This obscures the user action buttons, which stops the process at that user (since they can perform no actions).  The "save" button is partially visible and can be clicked, as can the "Task Details" tab.
    Any suggestions for how to deal with this framing problem?  Obviously the user can access the form from another computer, but if this issue is related to software configuration, I would prefer to resolve it that way, since many users in our environment have this configuration.
    Thanks
    Toby

    I am unable to reproduce the problem on my IE8/XP/Reader 9.4 platform.  After updating to Reader 9.4 I did have to re-enable the Reader Internet Preference to allow the pdf to display within the browser.  You can check that setting in your Reader preferences but I don't think that is your problem.  When it was off I was prompted to intall Reader, it did not try to open the Workspace pdf outside of Workspace.
    What is the zoom setting on your browser?  I believe there is a problem if the zoom level on I.E. 8 is more than 100%.  If it is higher try setting it to 100%, closing your browser and then try opening the Workspace task again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Scrollable Frame issue on iPad 'Adobe Viewer'

    I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue when previewing a folio with the iPad viewer.
    The issue is when I have a full (or even part) page scrollable frame on a page and once I have vertically swiped/scrolled to the end of the scrollable frame, then the next vertical swipe seems to stick much more than usual and requires a much longer/sustained swipe to get it to move on to the next page.
    This issue is only occuring when previewing a folio on the iPad viewer. It behaves as expected (short normal swipes) when previewed on the Desktop 'Content Viewer'. It also behaves as expected when simply previewing from the Folio Overlays panel – both on the Desktop viewer and iPad viewer. It also behaves if I import the article as PNG format into a folio, however I am requiring vector quality/display for this project so can't ignore the issue.
    It also does not fix the issue to select 'raster' rather than 'vector' in export options within the 'scrollable frame' folio overlay panel.
    My first thought was that maybe this is just a quirk of the iPad viewer, but the fact that the behaviour works in most other scenarios has me guessing. Maybe i am missing something somewhere which may explain this. I see the use of Scrollable Frames in this manner within many apps (in vector/PDF) without experiencing this issue, hence why I am leaning towards it being a quirk of the viewer when as a folio with a PDF scrollable frame.
    I am using the latest viewers (Desktop and iPad app). The folio's tested trying to resolve this issue have been in both v26 and v27. Using InDesign CS6 on Mac. Same issue happens whether iPad is horizontal or vertical.
    Please let me know if you need any further details on my setup or what i have been testing if that will help.
    Thanks
    Ross

    i had this problem once, in the folio producer have you given the folio a name, number and description?
    also in the viewer on the ipad they are not nessecarily in the right order - so scoot about on it
    if all else fails, delete the folio and re-upload, we had a glitch once and the only solution was to re upload
