PDF image sequence only shows first frame

Does anyone else have a problem with this? I am trying to make a simple looping two-frame vector animation. Without converting to video or pixels (I need this to stay flexible), what are my options?
I've tried making the layers turn on and off with a square oscillation, but I can't figure out the correct speed for on-one-frame-off-the-next :/
Any tips?

Changed it to four digits and nothing. Previewing the image sequence in the browser shows the second frame as flashing white :/
Here are the images in question:

Import from Contour+2 only show first frame of video?!?!?

Hi All,
I just got a new Contour+2, and make sure to update the firmware, or FCPX will only show the first frame from the video and no audio.

Hi Barry,
You don't need any conversion!
Simply import the media. If you do multicam, you might wanna transcode to Proxy for faster access..
But correct with the old videos, they might need a transcode..

FF4 only shows first page of PDF when linking to document.

I upgraded to FF4. When I link to a PDF document it only shows the first page.

I forgot to add that the first page of the PDF document shown on the email is actually an image. I don't know why the mail client does that.

Bug: QT Pro fails to properly play PDF image sequence?

Hi folks,
I have a series of numbered PDF files that represent an animation. I can open these files as an "image sequence" with QuickTime Pro, but then the resulting movie seems corrupt. Only the first frame renders properly, and the remaining frames are white, sometimes with some garbled information from the PDF. (I'm using the latest version of QT Pro.)
Is this a known limitation? Should QT be able to open a sequence of PDFs properly?
I know that as a workaround I can rasterize the PDFs first, but this isn't really what I need. The eventual goal is to get this animation into Motion, so keeping the vector graphics as vectors for as long as possible is important. Also note that directly importing the image sequence into Motion produces the same problem, so I suspect that this is a QuickTime issue.
Any thoughts?

I believe QuickTime will only show page 1 of a single PDF, I'm not sure if that applies to multiple single-page PDF's within a single mov file though.

So they are saying that if imported as a movie it can display multiple pages, if brought in as a graphic it can't.
Instead of importing as an image sequence, you could open each pdf in QT Player, select all, copy, paste into the final movie (or seperate movies which you could then import) and hopefully you would end up with movies of multi-page pdfs instead of single page pdf graphics. What a mess.

Is there anyway to have Premiere Pro recognize the "in" & "out" points and the sequence's "home" (first frame) as edit points so that the up & down arrow work as short cuts on these areas?

Hey guys, I wrote a big long speech trying to be more clear and was just getting more confusing. LOL
Hopefully this image makes my question a bit easier to understand. In green you can see how the up and down arrow keys land while in Final Cut. In red how they land while in Premiere. I'd like them to land like Final Cut. Thanks!

I have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

Come on gents and gentesses...... I'm really sweating on this one. Can't properly display my combined audio and pic when showing the Timeline contents of FCP in the MacPr's TV monitor Only the pic is appearing without any proper sound, as reported above. Just a mono row.
Does nobody have any idea on the problem or am I too far up to date with the MacPro and FCP 5.1.4 for even Apple to let me in on the way to rectilfy. Bloomin' upgrades...... !

Lately when I do an images search only the first page actually shows the images- the rest show blank squares- why, and how do I fix it?

Over the last week I have noticed more and more that my searches do not show up properly. Today only the first page of images actually show, the rest are blank spaces, but if I click they go to the image site. The rollover does not show either.
What can cause this, and how do I fix it? I have tried various safe settings but this has no eefect at all.
Thanks.

Google images only showing first page. Any solutions yet?

Hi
I've recently come across this problem of Google images only showing the first page of images with the rest being blank grey boxes.
After trawling the web for days it seems this has been an ongoing problem for many for several months now but I haven't seen any solutions that have worked for me.
I've cleared the cache and temp files, I've un-checked 'disable or replace context menus' on firefox etc.
It seems to run ok on ie8 but I prefer to use Firefox if at all possible.
Is there a solution out there?
I am on XP Pro sp3 using FF 3.6.11

This was happening to me (only getting one page of images after a search.) I disabled the AdBlock Plus ad-on and the problem was solved.

Pdf image sequence in QT Pro

I am running QT Pro 7.2.0.
I frequently make Quicktime animations of image sequences of jpeg files using QT Pro "Open As Image Sequence". Works great.
I now have a sequence of pdf files, (created by Acrobat Distiller from postscript files) and when I try to make an image sequence, all the images after the first one are either garbled or blank.
I have looked at each pdf file and they look normal.
Has anyone successfully made QT movies from pdf file sequences? What am I missing?
Thanks.

Thank you.
I don't have to use .pdf's. I am trying to find the most direct path from a series of postscript files to a Quicktime image sequence.
Acrobat distiller will convert a series of postscript images to .pdf's with a single "click".
I don't know of a way to do the same conversion from postscript to .jpg's. Preview requires you to convert each image individually, AFAICT.
I'd be happy to go from postscript to .jpg directly if it can be done painlessly.
These are simple .pdf files. I opened one in Acrobat and checked. I am also able to open the individual files with QT and they look as I expect them to.
If you try to open a series of postscript files with Quicktime Open Image Sequence, the .ps files are greyed out. .pdf files do show up as "openable", so it seems like this ought to work.
I have also tried it with QT version 7.1.6 with the same result.

QT crashes with PDF image sequence

A script generates 72 small (ca. 1100 bytes) pdf files as movie frames and I "Open Image Sequence...". The movie, whether saved or not, crashes at a certain point.
All the frame files open without a problem in Preview. By laboriously weeding out the files that cause the crash I end up with a "disabled" folder containing 6 of the original 72 files, so the movie now runs (on the Mac at least) with just the hiccups created by the excluded files.
I next tell QT to open the image sequence containing all the disabled files and, lo and behold, I get another movie that behaves.
Has anybody any idea what might be the problem?

Image sequence only opens 1 image in QT pro

Hi,
I have 1500 numbered jpeg images and every time i go to do an image sequence it only adds the first frame into the image sequence!! Help!!!

I think in some cases OS 10.6.x does not allow to select more than 1 file. In QT Pro I also cannot make image sequences anymore, however MPEG Streamclip does the job (open files, select all files in the pulldown menu).

QT Pro "Open Image Sequence" only grabs one image

QuickTime Pro:
When I try to "Open Image Sequence" on a set of .png images, I don't get the request for a frame rate, and it only opens the first image.
(Actually, the frame rate request window may be flashing by quickly.)
I have the image files numbered sequentially.
Any ideas appreciated. On my previous laptop it worked fine !
Thanks,
David

Hey there,
Your problem is rather strange, I have not had this problem myself. I open sequences all the time with no hassles. I just tested it now with .png files which you've used, no issue. I'm on QT 7.4.1.
I've also just updated to 7.4.5 on another Mac (G4, OSX 10.4.11), and it works fine. Have you asked around to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue?
If it was easy enough to down grade to 7.2, perhaps you could try re-installing QT 7.4. If it doesn't work, just go back to 7.2. Though... I don't want to be the blame for your loss of another Pro code!!
Good luck.

Time-lapse and Image Sequence issue (Possibly also Frame-Rate)

So I'm in the process of making a time-lapse, and have batch edited and exported (in jpeg) 627 images. My sequence settings are 23.976fps 1920x1080 (1080p). Doing some quick math, 627 images at 24 frames a second should give me a little over 26 seconds. However, I'm only getting a 20 second clip. The settings on the clip are 29.97fps and 5184x3456 (I scale it down and use some keyframes to add some motion.) So my question is is there a way to import an image sequence as 24 fps, rather than the default 30 that the clip is imported in? Even when I put it the clip on the timeline and click "Keep sequence settings" it cuts it down to 501 frames, and I still only get 20 seconds worth of clip. Thank you for your answers!

I am in PAL land so I not that familiar with ntsc but I think the difference has to do with the 23.97.
If you make a custom sequence you can set that to 24 fps exact.
Import the jpegs as an image sequence. this means select the first image, check image sequence at the bottom of the window and hit OK.
Also in the preferences under Media set the Indeterminate Media Timebase to 24.

Video - show first frame without autoStart

hey guys,
how can I show the first frame of a video, if autoStart is disabled?
thanks

There's no easy way to do this, but essentially what you want to do is 3 methods: play(), pause(), seek(0).
The exact pattern should be something like:
step 0:
set the source
set autoPlay = false
// add listener for step1
step 1 (in mediaPlayerStateChangeHandler in the READY state):
videoPlayer.muted = true;
videoPlayer.view.visible = false;
// call play(), here, then wait to call pause() and seek(0) in the
// dimensionChangeHandler
// add listener for step 2
videoPlayer.play();
step 2 (in dimensionChangeHandler):
// the seek(0) is asynchronous so let's add an event listener to see when it's finsished:
videoPlayer.addEventListener(SeekEvent.SEEK_END, videoPlayer_seekEndHandler);
// called play(), now call pause() and seek(0);
videoPlayer.pause();
// add listener for step 3
videoPlayer.seek(0);
step 3 (in seekEndHandler):
videoPlayer.muted = beforeLoadMuted;
videoPlayer.view.visible = true;
Hope that helps,
Ryan
