Premiere adding repeated frames when overwriting with transitions

Hi,
Having a bit of a problem (software bug?). I work with groups of clips on a timeline with 5 clips for each group (Intro / segment1 / segment2 / segment3 / outtro) and each week we replace 1 or 2 of each segment so we don't have to do a complete re-edit each week (for example one week we may replace segnemt 2 in each group for the new week and keep 1 & 3 intact)
I'm replacing clips on a timeline using an Overwrite Edit while keeping the transitions from the previous clips intact (cross dissolve with center alignment). The new clip is IDENTICAL in length to the previous clip I'm replacing (so "handels" are already there) however Premiere is adding repeated frames to the head of the new clip (so the incoming image freezes up until half way thorugh the transition). One way I found to fix this is using the SLIP tool to drag the new clip to the left and line up the in point of the new clip to where it should be. I'd use this as a fix, however I'm replacing over 300 clips in some instances and it's just not time efficient to slip and tweak each one.
I hope this makes sense.
Anyways, has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Phil

I hear ya, unfortunately in our case we actually don't have a choice deciding where each scene begins and ends because the first frame of the next clip is the next frame in the animation sequence (we have a tile wall floating with moving images over so the flow between the two clips needs to be seemless.) We use a cross dissolve where the overlapping frames match each other during the transition, so the 5 segments stitched together look like one consistant flow). We do this so we can swap out different content segments each week so we can quickly update rather than spending hours re-building the entire segment each week. If you've ever seen the FirstLook conclusion in the movie theaters before the movie starts, that's what I do Sounds like Ann's solution will work for us in this case.
Cheers!
Phil

My Final Cut is adding a frame when I lay to Digibeta

I am getting really frustrated with my Final Cut as it is adding a frame when I layoff onto Digibeta. My time-line is set correctly, for example at 09:59:30:00 I have a 30sec clock and the video starts at 10:00:00:00 within FC but when I check the digi back the media is comes in at 10:00:00:01.
When I open up my project on another computer and lay to Digi it's fine and all the settings on my computer appear to be the same as the other computers that don't add the frame. And just to confuse mt futher, when I layoff to Beta SP in the same manner it comes in on time.
Has anyone else experienced this and managed to solve the problem? I am running FC 5.1.4 on a G5 with Mac OS X 10.4.10

I've seen with RS-422 connections that you need to calibrate each deck you use to record back to... You can do this by adjusting the device control setting for each machine. If it's consistantly a frame off, just adjust it's device control setting to match. (frame offset parameter).

Repeated frames when time remapping AVCHD clips in AE

I will try to explain the best I can. Keep in mind I am a novice and by no means highly technical. First some background: I edit sports video for college bound athletes. I put together highlight videos for them. When I am filming I start/stop the camera at the beginning/end of a play so I can easily identify/edit "clips". I have imported 10 AVCHD "clips" from my Sony HDR-SR11 to a Premiere Pro CS4 project. I am using the "AVCHD 1080i anamorphic/29.97fps" sequence setting as my output for this project will be a 1440x1080 mepeg2 file. So I get my clips in the timeline add some transitions, no major edits, render the work area and playback. Everything looks fine, all clips play smooth. Now here's the rub. I want to freeze play, highlight an athlete then continue play. To do this I am using AFTER EFFECTS (NOTE I have done this with HDV footage off my Canon HV20 camera with no problems) so anyway with the new CS4 edition I can right click on a clip in my timeline and choose "replace with after effects composition"....I do and the clip migrates to AE into a a composition ready for me to work my magic. So my method for freezing play is select the "clip" in the composition, Ctrl-Alt-T for time remapping. I add 5 seconds to the duration of the composition since I am going to add time when I freeze the clip. I find the point in the clip where I want to freeze it. I place a "time remap" keyframe at that point. I then drag my mouse to highlight the keyframe I just placed and the keyframe at the end of the clip......I drag them to the right 2 seconds, then cut/paste the keyframe I added which is placed by the CTI (which is still at the original point). Now I have a 2 second freeze in play. I add a white solid and do some masking to highlight the athlete during that freeze. And that's it.....I press "O" then "N" to define the work area then I choose "trim comp to work area" from the composition menu. I repeat this process to all my clips and here is where I see the problem. I go back to my timeline in PP and I play the clips......I see my freeze/highlight edits from AE just fine but on SOME clips......2 out of 5 for example.....I get jittery playback. So I decided to scrub thru the clip frame by frame to see what is going on. So within 29 frames this is what I see. Girl is getting ready to serve a volleyball....Frame 1-15....she steps forward to serve THEN at frame 18 she pops back to the starting point...IT LOOKS LIKE FRAMES 1-12 ARE BEING REPEATED. I scrub the rest of the clip and this happens at random points....a small block of frames gets repeated throughout the clip which in the end looks like "jitter" or "jumpy" motion. I follow the same workflow in AE for each clip BUT this "jitter" does not happen on every clip...only some. So is my workflow at fault or is AE/PP/Adobe still buggy when it comes to working with AVCHD codec?? Anyone else experience this, if so do you have a fix?

I haven't tested your theory yet Andrew but I did do this. In trying to track down exactly where these repeated frames are occurring. In AE I redid one clip that was repeating frames. I went frame by frame in AE and see no repeated frames. These changes should occur automatically in PP since the AE comp is still dynamically linked to my PP timeline. So I scrubbed the "source" (AE comp) file from the PP project panel frame by frame. And low and behold there are repeated frames, so it appears the problem is the handoff from AE to PP Sooooooo, ok I deleted the source file in the PP project panel and reimport it via dynamic link. Open the clip in the source monitor and yes...repeated frames at same point....recheck the comp in AE....no repeated frames. Delete the clip from PP project panel and this time import the clip directly instead of dynamic link.....repeated frames still there. So how about rendering the clip in AE the old fashion way then import to PP. AE Render Queue best settings - lossless.....blah blah blah. I ended up with an .avi file with no repeated frames. So to me the problem is the handoff between AE & PP. So rendering my AVCHD comps in AE first is my work around for now. Andrew...thanks! I will try your theory of converting the clip prior to the comp asap...right now I am trying to meet a deadline.

Repeating Frames Prior to a Transition

Hello All,
I'm sure it's something that I have overlooked, but I'm going to need some help. I have a DVD of individual clips I want to make into one longer project and include titles, transitions, and chapter markers. So I ripped (legally...their my clips) these clips off of the DVD via Handbrake. Handbrake encoded them in .m4v, so through Streamclip I took these clips and converted them to AIC/.mov/48,000. From there I imported them into FCE to edit.
I had no problem putting the project together, but at each transition (all of the transitions are Fade In Fade Out Dissolve) about one second of the the clip prior repeats. So for example if the end of a clip goes 5 6 7 8 9 (where the fade begins at 8), 6 and 7 reappear as the transition starts. This appears on all of the clips and all of the transitions. One interesting thing is that when I scrub through the transitions, this repeating does not occur.
My Easy Setup for this is:
Format: NTSC
Use: DV-NTSC
Item Properties for a representative clip:
Type: Clip
Creator: Quick Time Player 7
Vid Rate: 29.97
Frame Size: 720x480
Compressor: AIC
Data Rate: 3.0 MB/sec
Pixel Aspect NTSC
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Composite: Normal
Audio: 1 Stereo
Aud Rate: 48.0 KHz
Aud Format: 16-bit Interger
Any direction as to what I have missed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

You have an AIC clip in a DV Timeline!!
You need to change the FCE Easy Setup to match the AIC Streamclip converted files, audio and video properties.
Then you have a chance. At the moment the field order is back to front.
If you have to render all the Timeline when a clip is edited to it, there is a mis-match issue somewhere.
Al
Al,
When I saw you answered I thought I would have a "duh" moment, but I'm still not clear. In trying to understand what I have done incorrectly let me be more specific.
I have two sequences with identically converted clips. When I began working on sequence #1, I set the Easy Setup as I described, but FCE said that the sequence did not match the clip...do I want it to. I said yes. I finished this sequence and it played correctly. I did the same thing for sequence #2, but this sequence plays with the repeated frames during the transitions. The Easy Setup still shows the DV-NTSC setting.
So I have two sequences that I set up the same way. One plays fine and the other doesn't.
In neither case did I need to render the clips after I put them in the Timeline. I'm assuming this is because I converted them prior to importing them to FCE.
If there is some other piece of info I'm missing that would help, let me know and I'm happy to get it.
Thanks again,
Marc

Frame overlaps repeating frame when I run the report

Hi
I created a report manually. On my designer, I have a frame, on top of which I have a repeting frame with all the fields and labels etc. However when I try to run the report, I get the frame on the top as a result the information on the repeating frame is hidden and report comes out to be blank. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help?
Thx!

If you have frames positioning like this, the bottom frame could take place of the top one:
    |             |
    |             |
|             |
|             |
--------------<br>
<p>
Solution is, move both to the left. If its not feasible, other solution is create another outer frame for the first one and maximize that to the left and don't show borders for that frame.

Hope this helps.

Non repeating frame - when/how to use

Hi,
How do I use a non repeating frame on it's own.
I have one query in which I have selected 3 fields.
In the paper layout, I have placed 3 fields in a non repeating frame.
When I run the report, I get a REP-1213 error - Filed 'xxx' at frequency below its group.
When I place the 3 fields ina repeating frame, it works, because the repeating frame property inspector allows me to enter the group and the non repeating frame does not.
So, my question is, when and how does one use a non repeating frame.
I need to understand the principle behind it.
Thank you
i

You mainly use regular frames to group objects together or prevent them from being overwritten. Check the help on About Frames.

Yellow flashing on my transparent frame when launched with WebStart

Hello,
I am building a mind-map making program, and my app's frame is transparent with two black rectangles on it. When I launch the app through WebStart it blinks yellow on-and-off on my frame for about 3 sec after the frame appears. How can I get rid of this yellow blinking at start-up? Also, when the frame appears a little caution sign is in the top right corner of the frame. Although the yellow blinking quits, this little caution sign still stays. Is there any way to removing the initial yellow blinking and the caution sign? These two "things" really destroy the slick effect I am trying to create with a transparent frame, especially that stupid sign. This happens on both Windows XP and Vista
Thanks for any help!

CS5 adding repeat frame

I've exported QuickTime files from Final Cut Pro for VFX artist using CS5. The file format is Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 23.976. When the files are handled in CS5 at 8bit they are frame accurate, however when the comp is switched to 16bit or 32bit the first frame is repeated (thus causing the comp to render out a frame short at the tail). I tried Uncompressed 8-bit as well and same issue. I tested ProRes and don't get the repeat frame at any bit depth. As a note using AJA kona 3 driver 8.

I have a problem...
In my Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3 there is no "Logical page size" property.

My imovie is shutting down repeatedly-especially when clicking on transitions

When using imovie, it has been shutting down often-almost every few minutes of work I do. It happens especially when clicking on transitions, or when dragging a transition up above. I have tried deleting some of the preference files that I saw were suggested online. Not sure what to try next.

No, you don't need anymore RAM, I simply asked because poorly installed or bad RAM can cause that error.
I'd try this:
Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist

Premiere CC - media offline when working with AE comps

I am working with Premiere CC and using After Effects CC comps for some Keylight 1.2 keying within the project - AE comps created in Premiere via "right click" on clip saying "superseded by AE comp".
The After Effects project incl. all the comps and Premiere project saved locally - same location, local.
Till now editing (P) & keying (AE) worked without any huge problems - due to using 4k material I had some play-back problems - not worth mention it though.
POSSIBLE REASON? When it started:
With both open - AE and Premiere project - I worked on the key in the AE comps. When finishing the keying I saved the changes - what normally works finw without asking me WHERE to save it.
Now AE asked me where I would like to save the project although it should have a location already - as I saved it before locally.
So I saved it with the same name and same location - overwriting the "old" project. That was when the problem occured...
PROBLEM:
Now the Premiere project can not find/link the AE comps / project. Saying: Media Offline.
Although it displays the right path in the Premiere project window!
TRIED THIS:
In Premiere I tried to "Link to media". Which will work for any three of the 20 AE comps!
At the 3rd or 4th one I try to link (automatically doesn't work here for some reason?) Premiere either hangs after a while or "changes mind" and finds no links anymore - even those I relinked just minutes before will have no connection anymore - again "offline"!
Nonetheless, the After Effects project works fine. No problems here (project has neither a long name nor blanks).
Any ideas what could be wrong? How can I relink the comps? I am really clueless.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Mylenium basically answered your question: quit both applications, manually clean Media Cache Database, restart PrPro and let it rebuild Media Cache Database (reconform files). Other than that provide information about your disk setup. Since AE wanted to know where to save project file, it might for some reason lost connection...

Premiere adding 15 frames to the end of every clip in export/sequence

Last night I exported an AVCHD 1080p Square Pixel sequence to a H.264 video file. When I checked on it this morning, the export had 15 frames added to the end of every clip in my video. I checked my project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and noticed that those extra frames were also added to my sequence. Any clue as to what would cause this?

Can you post a screenshot of your timeline.
Also one zoomed in on a problem area.
Are you using crossdissolves in a 30 fps sequence?

Why does Premiere Elements 10 crash when I select transitions.

Any time I try to select the transition tool the program crashes. Everything else seems to work just fine. I'm working in windows 7.

MP!
Thanks for the reply. From your description, it would appear that all you have to do is click on the Transition Tab and the program freezes/crashes.
You do not even have to select a transition.
If your video card/graphics card driver version is up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card, the card is not NVIDIA GeForce, and the problem is present in all projects, then
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
10.0
and in the 10.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 10.0 Folder in which
the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives enabled so that
you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" does not resolve the problem, then go for
Uninstall the usual Control Panel way
free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

Same album repeatedly updates when syncing with iPhone

I have many many albums and tracks purchased via the iTunes store both through iTunes directly and via the iPhone. They all synchronise properly and are on iTunes eventually.
There's one album, though, purchased via the iTunes app in June this year. Virtually every time I sync the iPhone it says "updating files" and this album gets updated. The rest of the sync goes just fine, new tracks added, listened to podcasts are removed, playlists are updated (notwithstanding that smart playlists' orderings are now utterly broken) fine - but this album is always getting updated.
In finder I've looked at the permissions and nothing seems unusual.
Anyone with any ideas?
It's not a fundamental problem, but it does means that each sync takes an extra 30-60 seconds, which is annoying!
Thanks.

Same thing has started to happen to me, with an Elbow album I imported ages ago. I've imported and purchased lots since, but now every time I sync that damned Elbow album gets copied track by track!

Why do I get repeating frames when exporting to QT MOV?

I have a Canon 7D and I'm shooting HD video files in 24p. I can import directly to the time
line in PE 7, but sometimes, when I export to a QT MOV file, the 3rd and 4th frame are exactly the same.
Original clips are fine, so it's something in the way PE 7 exports.
Strangely, I can have three clips on the time line, and two of the three will export fine, but one will show the duplicate frames!
I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
Thank you
Steve

I'm using the project setting of 1080i and timebase is 29.97 even though the camera is shooting at 23.97. Has anyone heard of this problem, and more importantly how to fix?
The Project Preset should match all aspects of your source footage. Having a disparity of 29.97 vs 23.97 will be problematic. Now, I am not sure what the options are for 24p footage in PrE 8.
Also, this ARTICLE links to many resources for DSLR footage and video editing.
Good luck,
