Problem with Frames in Timeline

Hey,
I'm using Final Cut Pro HD version 4.5. And I'm having a problem that is somewhat difficult to explain.
When I drag the end of a clip, to take a few frames off of it (or add more frames), it skips from taking say 2 frames, to 6 frames. Not allowing me to get rid of just a single frame or 3,4,5 frames. This kind of problem is happening unless I zoom in a considerable amount and didn't used to happen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the poor explanation.

A good trick is to select/highlight the cut with the selection tool,then tap the [] or ,. to trim a frame at a time longer or shorter.

Problem with image on timeline

Hi,
This problem happened out of nowhere. I have been working with FCE for a few months now. All the sudden, when I put the image on the timeline, it automatically zooms every image to the upper left hand side.
I have already tried the button "always scale clips to sequence size" in the user preferences, as I was told to do. But didn't help.
Actually I can see the image in the viewer, and if I export what I edited, it is exported in the normal size. The problem is just in the timeline, but with that I cannot work, because I hardly see the image.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
thanks a lot...

Hi Tom,
let me tell you what happened. I am not able to capture videos from a DV Camera, using the firewire. I was told that it may be a problem with the iMac firewire connection. I haven't been able to take it to technical support yet and I had to edit the images from a Canon VIXIA HV30 (HD CMOS) I asked a friend that works with Avid on a PC to capture the images for me on a DVD. I took the DVD and using the Cinematize, imported it to FCE. (I had done the same thing with images from a regular mini-DV camera and it had worked... I don’t know what happened to get to the size of a web video...)
The item properties from those clips are the ones I sent you earlier:
Type - clip
Creator - Quick Time Player Launcher
Size - 1.3 GB
Vid Rate - 29.97 fps
frame size - 352 X 198
Compressor - DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Data rate - 3.6 MB/sec
Pixel aspect - square
The item properties for the sequence are the following:
Size - 294.6 MB
Vid rate - 29.97 fps
Frame size - 352 X 198
Compressor DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
Data rate - 3.6 MB/sec
Pixel aspect - square
I will try converting from the MPEG Streamclip, as you told me, but should I also change the properties in the sequence and how would I do that? I would like to work with the best quality possible, so if the option is to leave the image small with black around, that’s what I will do. But since the original image comes from a HD camera, I should be able, even using the DVD strategy, go get a better quality image, shouldn’t I?
Sorry for bothering you, and thank you very, very much for your help. I really appreciate it...
Best regards,
Luciana

Wacky problem with Frame label

I have a menu set up with three items. Menu item one has
"gotoAndPlay("video"), menu item two has
"gotoAndPlay("somethinghere") etc...
My menu items two and three always jump to the correct frame
label. I am having a problem with the first menu item.
When you click through the menu items slowly, content loads
in correctly, but it seems that if you click different menu items
too fast, the first menu item jumps back the main timeline to frame
1. My menu is inside of a movieclip. This is where my frame labels
are.
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this before or know how to
prevent this wacky behavior?

use the goto methods, not functions:
_root.gotoAndPlay("video");

More problems with frames DOH!

Hokay, so, here is my program:
import java.awt.*;
public class ShowAFrame
     public static void main(String args[])
          Frame f;
          String myTitle;
          myTitle = "Test";
          f = new Frame();
          f.setTitle(myTitle);
          f.setSize(500,500);
          f.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("c:/javaprograms/book2.gif").getImage());
          f.show();
and here is my error message:
C:\JavaPrograms>javac ShowAFrame.java
ShowAFrame.java:13: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class ImageIcon
location: class ShowAFrame
f.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("c:/javaprograms/book2.gif").getImage());
................................................... ^
1 error
I feel really stupid asking, but since this is a beginners forum, what am i doing wrong?
btw, the dots are added to manually move the carrot
Thanks

hint #1:
1) When it tells you: "ShowAFrame.java:13: cannot resolve symbol" it's saying that there's a problem with line #13, specifically, that there's a symbol that it doesn't understand.
2) Look at the carot. What's it pointing to?
Now, put 1 and 2 together. The compiler is telling you that there's a word on line 13 that it doesn't understand, and then it shows an arrow pointing to a word on line 13. Any guesses as to the culprit?
hint #2:
learn about import statments and their purpose

Ultrasearch problems with Frames

I am having problems with Ultrasearch crawling pager with frames. When my ultrasearch crawler encounters a page with frames it does not crawl any of the frames. Is this because it is looking for an <a href> tag to follow or is there something I am missing within my Ultrasearch configuration? Thanks

The crawler will treat the subframe as separate URLs. Maybe it is due to how the
frame is generated. Note that the crawler can not handle jsp script.

Problems with Open Format Timeline

HEllo to everybody.
I have a little problem with the open format timeline editing.
I'll try to explain it as clearly as I can.
I'm editing a project which will output as PAL 25 Uncompressed 8-bit, letterboxed, through an Aja LH to IMX tape
I'm editing different formats, PAL 25 and HDV 720p.
I'm now doing the online editing. I used media manager to create an offline project and I'm recapturing my media at high quality.
My timeline settings are PAL 25 Uncompressed 8-bit. I'm recapturing my PAL 25 footage Uncompressed 8-bit and my HD footage via component through the Aja with the setting 720p 50 Uncompressed 8-bit.
On the timeline though, my HD footage shows cropped on both sides. Meanwhile when I open the master clip from the browser it is in his 16:9 aspect ratio.
When I re-edit the clips in the timeline they are no longer cropped but show in their 16:9 aspect ratio.
My question:
is there a way to recapture the clips from my timeline in a way that they already show in their original 16:9 aspect ratio?
Or the only thing to do is to swap all the clips on the timeline with their corresponding master clips in the Browser? The project is an hour and 20 minutes, and the second option is quite time consuming and greatly boring.
I would greatly welcome any suggestion
thank you
nicola

Thanks Tom.
I suspected it might be as I heard it flowing glibly off the narrator's tongue.
Incidentally, your fame is spreading over here.
Last night at our club meeting we were visited by a neighbouring society. One woman happened to mention to someone that she was having problems with FCE 4, so she was directed to me.
I mentioned the ADFs and your name, to which she responded, "I'm working through his book at the moment!"

SAPGUI for Windows via Portal - problem with frame

We are launching SAPGUI for Windows via Portal to drive single sign-on via AD. Our problem is that when SAPGUI launches, it is contained within an IE browser frame that causes some of the SAPGUI screens to not fit on the screen well. Those same screens fit just fine if we launch SAPGUI directly.
Is there any way to launch SAPGUI from Portal, with SSO enabled, but without the IE frame around it?

Lonny,
The best way to authenticate users when they logon using SAP GUI for Windows, is to use SNC authentication in SAP GUi. Then, the browser iview will launch the GUI and the GUI will authenticate the user using their AD credentials issued during the Windows logon. You will need to setup an SNC library on both the ABAP system which the user is logged onto, and the workstation where SAP GUI is installed.
If you don't use SNC, and you just launch SAP GUI for Windows from browser, then an SSO2 ticket is used to authenticate the user to the ABAP stack, and this is not secure due to the fact that the SAP GUI session which is used to pass the SSO2 ticket is not protected - anybody can intercept the SAP GUI session, take the SSO2 ticket from this traffic and logon as that user - clearly this is bad security and needs SNC to make it secure.
Thanks,
Tim

Problem with frame script

My project has two frames, each with the same frame script
attached. The only command is "go the frame", to keep the playback
head stationary. The script executes in one frame and is ignored in
the other. Debugging verifies that the playback head does go to the
frame where the script doesn't work. I get the same problem if I
write a different (identical) frame script for the problem frame.
I'm baffled. Help!
Thanks,
Bruce

Any chance there's a sprite in that frame with a behavior
attached that does
a 'go' command?

Problem with after effects timeline

I've created a new composition, and I thought I had set it to be 2 minutes long, but for some reason the timeline only displays 24 frames, and won't let me scroll past that. Here are my composition settings:
But here is my timeline:
It only displays 24 frames for some reason. I set my fps to 24, but my duration is 2:00. Anyone know what the hell is going on?

I'm curious what makes you think it doesn't. Adobe provides huge, very well-made help documentation with links to hundreds of useful tutorials (not to mention that great link that Todd posted).
You're very correct though, in that you do need to run through the learning materials before you start trying to work with it. It is very much a program where you need to learn to crawl before you try to walk and learn to walk before you try to run.

Problem with frame rates

Hi all
I imported HD footage using easy setup and apple intermediate codec i50 (I am in Australia) assuming that was correct. When i exported the sequence to soundtrack it identified the video as being 1920 x 1080 and at 29.97 frames per second. I checked 'item properties' on my clips in the sequence, and they came up as 1440 x 1080 (which acording to my camera specs is correct) but they also identify the frame rate as 29.97.
Is this right? I would have thought the frame rate should have been 25 fps since i used Apple intermediate codec i50 when i captured from tape. I am assuming my Sony A1P would use 25 fps as it is an Australian purchase. SD projects i have shot were all in Dv-PAL. Am a bit concerned as i am about to render and export. Any thoughts or advice much appreciated...

Actually I realised the problem- the footage captured correctly at 25 fps but the sequence itself was set to 29.97fps. So all the stills etc I added are at 29.97 fps- I will try to cut and paste into a new sequence hopefully that works.

Problem with frame

the other day I was working with AE, as usual, but when I checked one of my "composition settings" the duration was different... usually there were the hours, minutes, seconds, etc. (es 00:00:00:00 )
but now there is the number of frames... I do not know what to do, when I open the new projects is the number of frames instead of the old projects seconds...
I try to write to 00:00 etc but nothing

Animated Gif - Problem with Frame Delay

Mac OS X 10.5.8
PSE 6.0
I just created an animated gif by following the steps in PSE Help. It says that I should be able to adjust the rate at which the images rotate by changing the Frame Delay measurement but I am unable to change it. In fact I am unable to change anything in the Animation section of the dialog box.
When I check Animation, the options appear to become active (they're no longer greyed out) but I can neither uncheck the Loop option nor change the Frame Delay option. All other sections of the dialog box work fine.
Your help would be most appreciated!
Beth

Unfortunately this is broken in PSE 6 and PSE 8. You can tab into the frame delay box if you start above it someplace on that side of the screen, and it appears to let you change the rate, but your choice doesn't really affect the actual frame rate. The only workaround is to duplicate frame layers that you want to stay onscreen longer (so it will be changing just as fast, but not visibly).

Problem with frame capture fluence

Hi, im trying to write simple app which captures screen from my device. The device is TV tuner to which is connected an analog camera by composite. When usin JMStudio preview on the device look nice and fluent. When I record from the source to jpg files its far out from fluency. For a few seconds there can be still same frame, then little change and again. I must be doing sth wrong I suppose. Please help
Edit: I've noticed MJStudio uses almost no CPU and my stuff 100% :-/
Edit2: Here is the code for preview (also influent)
CaptureDeviceInfo deviceInfo = CaptureDeviceManager.getDevice("vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0");
Player player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(deviceInfo.getLocator());
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabber = (FrameGrabbingControl)player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
player.start();
Thread.sleep(5000); //wait for init
while(30s haven't elapsed){
     Buffer buf = frameGrabber.grabFrame();
     Image img = (new BufferToImage((VideoFormat)buf.getFormat()).createImage(buf));
     label.setIcon(new ImageIcon(img));
     l2.updateUI();
     l2.validate();
player.close();

Problem with Flash Button Sticking

I am adding Handlers to Mouse Events using action Script 3.
The buttons move up and down when rolling over the button. So you
have that "wave effect" when navigating the site.
The problem I am having is that if you rollout of the button
before the button is done playing the movie it freezes at that
point of the movie.
Has anyone had this problem before? Can anyone help?
THANKS!

The standard reply is -
1. Why are you using frames since there are many compelling
reasons not to?
2. Why are you using Flash navigation since there are many
compelling
reasons not to?
Most people here don't work with (assiduously avoid) both of
those critters,
so, you may have trouble getting a more explicit response!

Using Flash with Frames?

Is there a trick to using frames with flash? The frames page
looks like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Home Site</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="78,280,*" FRAMEBORDER=0 BORDER=0
FRAMESPACING=0>
<frame src="header.html" name="header" scrolling="no"
noresize>
<frame src="flash.html" name="flash" scrolling="no"
noresize target="mainFrame">
<frame src="frameindex.html" name="mainFrame">
<noframes>
<body>
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't
support them.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>
header.html does not have any flash. Just has the home and
contact buttons for the top.
flash.html is just an html page that holds the flash
navigation.
mainFrame is where the new pages should display with index of
course being the first page.
In flash, the button has the following:
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>num) {
_parent["but"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = num;
getURL("details.html", "mainFrame");
When I press the button, it opens details.html in a new page
without the frames. I would like it to open details.html in the
mainFrame frame. Is there a trick that I do not know? Thank you so
much!
