QT Pro 7.0.4 playback rate problem

Since I updated to QT Pro 7.0.3, (I have QT Pro 7.0.4) I have problems with playback rate with most of QT .mov files.
Recently if I want to save anything in QT .mov file, Iike from AfterEffects 6.5 or FinalCut Pro 5 or even in QT Pro 7.0.4, most of time it won't properly make the saved file playback in normal 29.97/30 frames per second rate. No matter how hard I try to preset the FPS rate to 29.97/30 frames per second before I save a .mov file, it'll still playback like 1 frame per 6/8 seconds or something like that!!! The same saved file can play very smoothly in my schools PowerMac G5 comperters, so I know it shouldn't be the codec problems. Now I cannot even watch some saved or stream .mov file from the net because QT Pro has same playback problems with them as well.
I don't understand what's the problem with my QT Pro. However, none of my previously saved QT pro 7.0.1/7.0.2 .mov files has playback problems at my PowerBookG4. Can someone please help?

I just saw my pervious post, it seems like it didn't included the crucial information of my PowerBook G4 like I did on this one.
Anyway, I usually used H.264 for my FinalCut Pro 5 saves, and use "none compressed" on all my AfterEffects 6.5 files. The dimensions I used for save files never over 720x480. Since I updated on Tiger, with paid QT pro 7, I never had any problems on saving movies, with early version 7.0/7.01/7.0.2, never even have problems watching and save any .mov files from the internet.
But recently, the playback drop frame rate really become an obvious problem, bugs me very much. I no longer has any control over playback files on my QT pro. Currently 9 out of 10 QT files from the internet has problem playing back on my QT Pro 7.0.4 player. I have Snapz Pro X 2, and it's the current version, but this drop frames problem also effects on the files saving on this program. Now I can no longer save .mov on H.263 or H.264 codec, QT on my G4 PB just refuse to playback on those .mov files created from my Machine. I only currently tried to use Sorenson3 codec and it works OK most of time. I haven't try to save .mov on other codec yet on my G4 PB use QT Pro...
However, like I said, I still have no problems playback my saved QT Pro 7/7.0.1/7.0.2 files that I created on my current Pro 7.0.4 player. I also find out that all the "problemetic" files that cannot play on my QT Pro and my PB can play totally smooth on my school's G5 PowerMac. I don't really understand what's the meaning of my problem, but does this has something to do with my PB or maybe corrupted QT Pro program? I did uninstall and reinstalled the QT Pro and all it's related files on my PB, but still, nothing works after that either.
Because I did upgrade my ram to 1 GB (it was 512 MB), at one point I thought maybe it was the bad ram caused all the problems, but then when I changed back to my previous ram cards, my QT Pro 7.0.4 still refuse to work properly.
I really have no idea on this anymore. Should I just try to reinstall Tiger and see what happened? That's the last thing I can think of...

Converting playback rate in third party software rendered specifically from AEcc

i've been having issues with certain codecs that are rendered from aecc.
prores (family) & Uncompressed.
From time to time we need to make elements with different frame-rates. so we use a tool from fcp called cinema tools to make conversions for speed without going back to AE, which basically changes playback rate of the clip to 23/24/25/29.97 in respect.
However this method is now proving an issue since CC.
i think its something on the encoding on the metadata thats locking the option to make the changes in cinema-tools. but the animation codec renders are fine?!!!
The work around i have with this is once i render from AE i open up Quicktime then export out again as the same codec. which makes it fine to convert there after. any help would be great”

Hi Rick,
unfortunatly this method didnt work either.
I tried doing a test by adding to render queue direct and adding to Media Encoder from AE
No changes still locked out of converting the file in cinetools.
I also tried putting the file into media endcoder as a independant file without AE open, but again no changes.
However once i converted it via Quicktime player pro. It was perfectly fine.
It may be to do with the Proress file encoding.
Its fine with animation codecs from both AE renders and media encoder.
who knows what gremlin is trying to stop it from changing the attritubes.

Sample Rate problem as well as CoreAudio overload and anyone using DFH?

I've only switched from Pro Tools to Logic Pro recently and am confused about a lot of things. I am running Toontrack DFH Superior with 7 audio tracks and one more software instrument track. I keep getting message about sample rate problem and something about conflict betwwen logic and external device. The only device I use is a M-Audio 49e MIDI controller and the M-Box, and I am running these on a Quad PowerMac G5 wih 4 GB RAM... I've tried to adjust the setting here and there, but none of them seem to work... Please help!

Often MIDI driver conflicts and processor overloads, or bottlenecks too. Freezing, removing old drivers, if you really are running Jaguar and if it is actually installed from those days then it is time to do a fresh install and maybe use Panther or Tiger. Panther can be found really cheap these days. As far as old drivers you don't use for any audio or MIDI interfaces you once used with your sytem, are there any? If so which ones? You may be able to direct yourself to your old driver uninstall by looking at the receipt of whichever driver you no longer use. Also, Jaguar was just really good at getting this message to come out, in my experience. Some plugins require alot of MIDI I/O or CPU power, some of NI's stuff really (momentarily) spikes on MIDI data input.

Sample rate problem

I have an odd sample rate problem: I have put in some music at 44.1 (while all other audio is at 48kHz.)
At most points this is, surprisingly, not an issue. But if I haved 4 channels of 48kHz sound then EITHER the 44.1 sound OR the 48kHz sound will not play.
Anyone know why this would be? I obviously need to redo the 44.1kHz sound - is there a quick and easy way to do this, or do I need to reimport everything seperately?

Export the 44.1khz audio as an AIF, 48khz, 16 bit file themn import the resulting file. Normally you'd want to do this with QT Pro before importing it into FCP.

Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
Here's some links I got from google for you
NTSC
Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals
============
info about aspect ratios... and better to scale down than up...or just stay the same as source.
http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-understanding-dimensions-prior.html
================
Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
good luck

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

My iSight is not working on my Macbook Pro. What are the possible problems and solutions?

Hello Douglas,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the built-in iSight camera on your MacBook Pro. I recommend the following steps for this issue:
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

Nik Software Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with-"

Nik Software/Photoshop Crash: "Could not complete the Color Efex Pro 4 command because of a problem with the filter module interface." Define, Viveza work fine, the others, Color Efex, HDR Efex, Silver Efex don't. I called Nik and they said they were familiar with this problem and that it was an Adobe problem. They helped me uninstall and re-install the latest version of the filters. Didn't fix the problem. I called Adobe technical support, they confirmed that indeed it was an Adobe problem, but, they can't help me because they no longer offer support on CS5. I'm on an iMac with Mountian Lion 10.8.5, running Photoshop CS5.1. I searched the internet and found this problem mentioned in several places, just couldn't find the fix. Interesting coincidence - I had been using Photoshop and the Nik software perfectly fine, even the morning of the day it began to crash. I got a pop-up message from Adobe asking if they could anonymously monitor my usage to better their products. I clicked on "Ask me later." Then, my product crashed every time I tried to use the above-mentioned Nik software filters. ??? Why would they want to monitor my usage of a product they won't/don't support anyway? Help someone please - I really love the Nik software. I paid top dollar for it back in the day because people like Dan Hughes actually answered your questions themselves. The customer support was the best in the industry. The opposite is true of Adobe, is it not?

Thank you so much Chris. I know I'm not the only person to run into this as both Nik/Google and Adobe acknowledged this problem. I did however try something else to try and isolate the issue further. I tried editing with Nik/Google Color Efex & Silver Efex, etc., in Aperture, and sure enough, the Nik/Google filters wouldn't open, or they would crash Aperture. So - it's looking like a Nik/Google problem. They used to be so good. The crazy thing is that I had been using Photoshop with the Nik filters just fine, even earlier that very day. What could have gone wrong? Was there some kind of automatic update Saturday 3/1/14? And it was especially weird that it happened immediately after I refused to allow Adobe to (anonymously) monitor my usage. I'll call Nik/Google back tomorrow and tell them what you've told me, as well as letting them know their filters crashed Aperture too. I'll report back as soon as I find a fix. I know I'm not the only one out there who's experienced this.
Thanks again!

My MacBook Pro will not connect to my home wifi but will connect everywhere else. My other Apple devices (I-pad, I-touch, another MacBook Pro) connect to the router without problems. It was working fine but all of a sudden stopped working.Thanks!

try this.
get back into your router's settings and start deleting devices that are not connected to your router.
you can also delete the ones that are connected - they'll connect again.
on the DHCP side of it, increase the amount of users that can connect/log in to your router.
see if that sorts it out for you.
good luck.

Hello - When I installed OSX 10.8 on my iMac, all my bookmarks and the bookmarks bar were gone. On my two MB Pros they carried over with no problem. How can I retrieve them? Thanks

All my bookmarks and bookmark bar entries were gone when I installed Mountain Lion on my IMac. When I installed in on my two MB Pros, they carried over without a problem. How can I retrieve them? Thanks.

Make an archive copy from one of the MBP (File>Export Bookmarks). You may not need it, but if things sync the wrong way on iCloud, you may lose them on all your devices.
Then check out iCloud on the iMac. Is your stuff on iCloud.com? Maybe try logging out and back in again.

How can I get variable playback rates for podcasts/audiobooks downloaded from iTunes?

When I download a podcast from the iTunes Store, say Criminal or 99% Invisible, it shows up on my iPod Touch 4G just as a regular song as part of an album--it's not classified as a podcast episode and there's no way to speed it up. When downloading Serial episodes from the Serial site, however, it came with the 2x/.5x speed options, which is extremely useful for me. I tend to download the episodes directly to my computer and then add them to my iPod Touch via MediaMonkey, so I'm not sure what the difference is. With audiobooks, I have to manually change the genre to audiobook and then add to my iPod via iTunes to have the variable rates, so it's really quite a hassle. Is there any way to make this more efficient?

If you want to access the variable playback rates then the media must be transferred such that its media kind is either podcast or audiobook. I've just tried moving an mp3 audiobook file over to my iPad using MediaMonkey and it has ended up in the right section of the device's library so it must be possible. My understanding is that media kind is a private iTunes property, not stored in the tag, so perhaps MediaMonkey has used Genre to decide which part of the iPad library it should add the file to.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680

Could someone please confirm if Premiere Pro CS5.5 mercury playback engine will be supported on GTX 680.
thanks

Jim,
Your comment was based upon results from the 560 Ti 448 card and that is € 240 or more. The 680 is € 440. That is 45% difference: € 440 - (0.45x440) = € 440 - € 198 = € 242
Your comparison is based on a € 200 GTX 560 model, which only achieves a score of around 120 seconds, which is 55% less expensive (€ 440 - (0.55x440) = € 440 - € 242 = € 198) and more than 225% slower (120 / 53 = 2.26)
So for 55% less expenditure, you lose more than 225% performance. That is very disappointing and would rank in the 'penny-wise-pound-foolish' savings. (But that is how your system can be ranked, at least in the past). There is another major flaw in your reasoning, you are only considering number of CUDA cores, nothing else. You are disregarding all the other aspects of the new architecture and that makes your argument very weak and flawed. You have to consider the number of cores AND the memory bus in combination. Something you obviously overlooked, but although the number of cores tripled in comparison to the 580, the memory bus was reduced to 256 bits width, a 50% reduction. That means that at best the expected performance gain could be 0.5 (memory bus) x 3 (number of cores) = 1.5 and not your 300%.
To summarize:
Now if you want to go the other way, with the 680 as the baseline, you'd say that for 60% less money, you still get 80% of the performance.
For 55% less money, you get 44% of the performance on this test.

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

I am currently using final cut pro 6 and i have a problem that i can not to do a play out to the dvcam but i can record from the dvcam, can you help please?

i am currently using final cut pro 6 and i have a problem that i can not to do a play out to the dvcam but i can record from the dvcam, can you help please?

I believe there is no "Export to Tape" feature as appeared in legacy FCP.
SORRY! Just noticed you are using FCP 6.
You need to ask this question in the Final Cut Studio forum.
