Problem with rendering still frame capture in FCP7

I'm a hack, so let's keep that in mind as I ask this question....but I *did* try to look through the forum for a similar issue before I created this post.
My situation: I am pulling some HD video from a Canon Vixia into FCP and basically just piecing it together with some minor editing to match music beats, etc. for some local sports leagues. Generally I find no issues with FCP, although I've only been dabbling with it for a few months.
My problem: My latest creation here: http://anothermotherproductions.smugmug.com/Movies/2011-Lacrosse-sample-movie/17 693649_L5rr8X does something annoying. I pulled a still frame from the video clip to let it hang there for a few seconds. See the 1:01 mark. The still frame looks clear in FCP, but when exported (and I've tried a few different formats, like h.264, pro-res, and "sharing" it for iPod) the image is ugly - looks like a motion blur from an old TV or something.
I've checked that the last frame of the video clip is the frame BEFORE the still frame, so walking step by step through the sequence reveals a normal sequence of motion, with the final frame "hanging" there for a while because its the still frame.
Make sense?
Anyone have constructive input?
Thanks.

Thank you so much - that helped tremendously. Image looks great now, AND I learned something.

Still frame capture

In FCP10, when looking at a frame of video, I simply want a quick still frame captured. What is the most basic method to do this? Thanks.

Captured where, in FCP or exported? To export use Share save current frame. If it's not there add it to the share button in destination preferences. If you want it on the application use the freeze frame function.

Where are still frame captures saved?

When I do a Shift-E to do a still frame capture and export, Premiere Pro cs6 simply saves the current showing frame somewhere. Where is this file saved? Shouldn't there be a dialog box that comes up to show where you might want save the file? This is mysterious and I need help to figure it out.
TIA,
Ken

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Help. Problems with rendering when using effects

OS 10.68
Final Cut Pro 7 Studio latest build
Macbook Pro 2.66 Ghz i7, 4gig RAM
This problem has been plagueing me for 3 weeks and happened suddenly.
Whenever I apply any effects to a clip in the timeline it renders with irregular framerate speeding it up and at end of the clip its black with soundtrack still playing. It seems to be out of sync with audio with the video only speeding up. It happens E=even when I render a standalone Quicktime mov.
What are my options to resolve this issue?
Could this problem be in OS or software? If it is the OS I have no way to reinstall Snow Leopard because I lost my disc.
Would you advise I upgrade to Mountain Lion?
My problem is isolated to rendering only after applying effects. Otherweise the sofware runs smoothly.

How much room is on your capture drive... assuming that it is the same drive you are sending your renders to. The first few things I'd try...
1) Trash the Preferences (look around for FCPRescue)
Then, if that didn't work...
2) Trash the RENDERS... I believe it is under tools, render manager. It will force you to re-render the entire sequence, but maybe something in there is corrupted.
This also assumes you've got some quality footage. I mean, what is the format of the video you are working with? Hope its not some 'schtuff' you grabbed off the internet. Is it a quality and usable codec?
Try those first two things if the last is a given.
Good luck,

Problem with rendering RGB with alpha

I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
I did system restore, reinstalled 6.5 with no help.
No new programs, not hooked to internet, using 2 gigs RAM with AMD athalon FX 53,Nvidia GeForce FX 5500.
I tried several different projects which have previously worked and they do the same thing.
Rendering as Video for Windows with no compression. RGB + Alpha
Rendering with just RGB doesn't have the flickering, etc.
Preview set to "off" in comp window.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

> I have AE 6.5. I suddenly began having .AVI's with alpha channel rendering with a flickering background with numerous flashing colors.
But when you composite these lcips I'll bet the alpha content is not really there.
We used to have this problem with the Media 100 hardware codec when rendering form After Effects. The alpha channel was full of the creepiest stuff, frame buffers motion blur and effects from other compsand it was really there. Playing the clip back in Media 100 or in QT showed the alpha channel's bizarre content.
However, if you turned off RGB and viewed alpha only, the stuff was gone, absolutely transparent. If you dropped the clip into a timeline, the alpha behaved normally.
We never did figure it out, just lived with it.

Still frame capture script?

OK, I know that this is probably not something that everyone is just yearning for, but I can see it as helpful. So hear me out.
I have a ton of footage (DVCProHD) and I would like to capture a still frame (just the first frame will work) of each clip to use in an editing storyboard. What I want to be able to do is use the stills to match clips to my narration (this is for a docu) so that myself and my assistant editor can keep notes on what we are doing.
Anyway, does anyone know of a way to do this automatically, with a script or something?
Thanks

Having problems with rendering clipls

I am new to Premier elements, and am having problems with my clips needing frequent rendering. Clips that have been rendered go from green (line) to red when a transition is added or if it is trimmed and must be rendered again. Also rendering seems to take a very long time, sometimes going fast, sometimes going a frame per second or slower. One possible problem is that I am mixing clips from two different cameras, one a HD and the other a standard def camera. I don't know if this is a factor or not.

If your clips are initially importing with a red line your project preset may be wrong - what preset are you using?
After applying transitions or effects it is normal for those segments to go red line.
It doesn't help to use two different types of video in one project. What is your final output intent - DVD or BluRay? If DVD then it would be better to convert your HD material to DV-AVI. See the Gspot link below - analyse both types of clip you are using and post the screen images here.
Some basics:
Install all Windows Updates.
Install latest version of Apple QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing). Even if you don't use QuickTime, PRE relies heavily on it.
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites.
Run Disk Cleanup.
Run Defragmenter.
Temporarily disable any anti-virus realtime scanning.
Use the GSpot Codec Information Utility to analyse the file and post screen image.
Post back here with the necessary information described here: Got a Problem? How to Get Started

Problems with Rendering - Freezing at %50

Hi there
Windows 7
8gb RAM
Intel Core i7 930
Nvideo Gefore GTX 480
I've been having problems with my Premiere Pro CS4 renders. I've recently rendered Photoshop based graphics with LOTS of layers in an HD format without problem.
But now working with 1080p AVCHD, I've been having issues. I've had 2results:
1.) Doing a small chunk (about 450 frames), it has frozen at %50 3 times in a row.
2.) Doing a bigger chunk, it completed the render but then didn't update the sequence window with the green line, playback wasn't working and then moments later the whole program froze.
My exports work completely fine though, just not the renders.
my only thought is, is that I specified I'd be working at 1080i30 (60i) because I'm 90% sure that's what the video was shot in, but maybe I was wrong.

I lied, 30p is just as bad... I can only do 1 opacity fade or 1 video transition.. once I do 2, Premiere stutters and pauses on the transtion, then gets unstuck but the video goes into hyper speed for a second.
I tried updating video card and changing audio, no success.
I have a feeling it's CS4, Adobe rushed CS4 with AVCHD support to get quick sales... the really AVCHD support is in CS5... I mean... Adobe forgot to put in the LPCM audio codec which is AVCHDs main audio codec and is an audio codec that has been around since the 80s...
Frustrating, any other suggestions? I think I'm going to have to reformat, and do a driver by driver/codec by codec installation... maybe I installed a codec I shound't have or something.
*edit*
Also, I'm 90% sure that when trying to render effects, it's the video transitions that Adobe Premiere is getting stuck on during the render... It doesn't make any sense, I can playback the transitions but I can't render them? I can play through one transition completely fine if there is only 1 transition in the entire project, but if I have 2 then all the transitions become choppy?
Like I'm only doing BASIC cut, paste, copy, transition video editing here...

Problem with rendered attribute in jhs 10.1.3.3

We are currently trying to migrate our applications from jhs 10.1.3.2.52 to jhs 10.1.3.3.87 using jdeveloper 10.1.3.5. We are facing a problem with all the detail groups structured inside detail group regions - they have all disappear from the pages.
In my example code i have two master-detail groups Products (Master) and ExpertiseAreas (Detail) on the same page:
Products - Group
-> ExpertiseAreasDtl - Detail Group Region
-> ExpertiseAreas - Group (Samepage="true")
The problem is that the detail group ExpertiseAreas is not rendered on the page.
As i looked in through the pages generated by the 2 different releases of jhs using the same app definition, i can see the following:
CODE GENERATED FOR THE ExpertiseAreasDtl Detail Group Region (all the vms used are the default):
in jhs10.1.3.3.87:
<af:panelGroup *rendered="#{(ProductsIterator.currentRow!=null and ProductsIterator.findMode!='true')}"* id="ProductsRegionsExpertiseAreasDtlPanelGroup">
in *jhs 10.1.3.2. 52*:
<af:panelGroup id="ProductsRegionsExpertiseAreasDtlPanelGroup">
First of all a rendered attribute is being generated in the new version of jhs and not in the old.
The real problem seems to be with the iterator binding generated from verticalRegionContainer.vm in the regular expression: "#{(ProductsIterator.currentRow!=null and ProductsIterator.findMode!='true')}". It should have been *bindings.*ProductsIterator and not plain ProductsIterator. Has anybody got any ideas on how to solve the problem?
Thanks

Problem with rendered tables in JHeadstart 10.1.3.3.87

Hi,
We have recently upgraded from Jhs 10.1.3.3.52 to 10.1.3.3.87 (using JDev 10.1.3.4.0.4270) and have run into a problem with a window using regions. We have horizontal region containers, vertical region containers, stacked region containers and detail group regions. The tables in these containers/regions are not rendering at all. When I compared the .jspx pages of both versions of Jhs I noticed the 10.1.3.3.52 version had the following code (which works) as
<af:panelGroup rendered="#{(bindings.AwardView1Iterator.*currentRowIndexInRange!=-1* and bindings.AwardView1Iterator.findMode!='true')}" id="AwardView1DetailGroupsBelow" partialTriggers="AwardView1Table">
and the 10.1.3.3.87 version had the following code as
<af:panelGroup rendered="#{(bindings.AwardView1Iterator.*currentRow!=null* and bindings.AwardView1Iterator.findMode!='true')}" id="AwardView1DetailGroupsBelow" partialTriggers="AwardView1Table">
the problem seems to be in the following line in the horizontalRegionContainer.vm and stackedRegionContainer.vm -
#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)
as in line 33 of the horizontalRegionContainer.vm - <af:panelGroup #REGION_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS($subRegion) *#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)* id="#REGION_ID()${subRegion.name}PanelGroup" and
as in line 32 of the stackedRegionContainer.vm - <af:showDetailItem text="#REGION_TITLE($subRegion)" *#JHS_PROP("rendered" $subRegion.rendered)* #JHS_PROP("disabled" $subRegion.disabled) #REGION_PARTIAL_TRIGGERS($subRegion) id="#REGION_ID()${subRegion.name}Tab">
has anyone run into a similar problem?
thanks,
Lana

Thanks Steven!
We appreciate the reply and this solution. Could you, or anyone, point us in the direction of helpful documentation with respect to Velocity Templates. We don't really have as good an understanding as we would like, and most of our customizations are our best guess.

Problem with rendering my project

Hello,
today I tried to render my latest project in Premiere Pro CS6 to upload it to youtube. With an estimated file size of ~2 Gigabytes I started the rendering process and waited for it to finish (about 50 minutes).
After it had finished with rendering I checked the file and what I saw was a 35 Megabytes file with the worst video quality one can even imagine. What is wrong with my premiere pro -.-
I've put many time and effort in my project and now it doesn't render properly. The interesting thing is that the preview in the full resolution inside my premiere pro application looks way better than the rendering result. WTF!?
Later I tried the option "render workspace" which took just about the same time (about 50 minutes) and brought me 7 rendered video previews... summed up 40 Gigabytes.
I am like kinda mad and sad at the same time and really can't figure out what is wrong. Please help me.
Here are my Output settings:
H.264 codec
1920 * 1080
29,97 FPS
high profile and 5.1
Bitrate: I tried everything from 8 to 100 (output always about ~40 Megabytes)
maximum depth
and maximum render quality
Please mention it if you need more information about this as I will be happy to provide detailed information and excuse my bad english, it isn't my mother tongue.

Yeah, but as you could may imagine i watched the render result
I could just go ahead and render it in 240p same result... Its way off in points of quality even compared to the preview on the top right
I mean I am not using premiere pro for the first time and this is the first time that i have to encounter this kind of problem. maybe I should try to render some of my old projects to see if they too result in 45 Mb ****** videos.
Someone help me

Problem with rendering GeoRaster in MapViewer...

Hi,
I am using the MapBuilder (10.1.3.1), and I import a georaster for an Oracle Spatial 10g Database. I created a GeoRaster Theme and a Base Map including GeoRaster Theme created. In preview mode of Map Builder, the GeoRaster is displayed correctly. In MapViewer (Ver 10131_B061023) this GeoRaster does not appear... A cyan rectangle appears, apparently with the size of GeoRaster...
I have copied the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) library files (jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar) to the OracleAS MapViewer library path (\mapviewer\web\WEB-INF\lib), and restart mapviewer...
Does anyone have any idea of what may be happening wrong?
Thanks

There may be a problem with the map request sent to MapViewer. Please post the map request and the log information (you can get from the log file - set the log level to "finest").

Problem with V19 Scrollable Frame

I have a magazine that worked find on V18 of producer tools, since I upgraded to V19 I am having ptoblems.
I have a standard page size 2048x1536 (iPad 3), and I have the whole page set as a scrollable frame with a background placed behind it. Then all my content for the page is pasted into the scrollable frame which runs much lower than the 2048 page length. You can then scroll the page within the scrollable frame rather than having a long page to scroll down. This also creates a nice layering effect where the content moves on top of a static background.
This worked fine for me on V18 producer tools, but now when I load my magazine onto my iPad, I'm scrolling through articles and when I hit the page with the scrollable frame you can no longer scroll left or right and you're stuck on the page...
Any idea how I can fix this as I have a client that has seen and likes the layering effect? Last thing I want to do is have to remove it and just make a long page.

Which totally sucks, BTW.
If you use JPG or PNG then it works but you lose the razor sharp text and pinch and zoom that PDF provides.
I really don't get this one, either. Especially since the scrollable frames option gives you the ability to make it vertical only. That should eliminate any "confusion" as to which way to you want to scroll and which way you want to swipe.
