Random frame at end of every clip in timeline.

Hello, I'm running Premiere Pro CS6 and having a serious problem. I'll try to explain it as basic as I can as it's kind of complicated. Say I bring in a clip of just red solid color and cut that clip into 5 separate clips. And then I bring in a clip of just green solid color into the time line. If I then play it, for some reason the very last single frame of all the red clips will be the green clip. So playing it would look like red clip > single frame of green > red clip > single frame of green ect. It also mysteriously pops up even where there are no clips as seen in the attached photo. I cut an entire video with out having this problem then went back to make changes and it popped up once. Now the second video I just began cutting it has been rampant since the beginning. It is there so much I am unable to cut. The single frame seems to embed itself into the other clips and even if the original clip is shortened or lengthened it stays at the end. I have tried deleting render area, moving clips, restarting ect. Any help would be great, thanks.
BTW It's MTS footage from a Sony FS100 on a 2012 MBP with Premiere CS6.0
As you can see there are no clips where the play head is at, yet this single frame still shows up. It also shows up at the end of each of the clips when played in the timeline.

Yes I did, and it still is. In fact I scrapped the entire project, started a new one and 3 clips in it's doing it again. Really All I'm left with is reinstalling the software which I did not want to do. In the mean time I've even upgraded from 4gb's of RAM to 16. I'd cut in FCP 7, but that program can't cut the MTS with out transcoding like CS6 can so I may be stuck with glitchy playback when is more than insufferable while trying to cut.

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?

Frozen frame at the end of every clip

Without transitions, there is a frozen frame at the end of every clip that can be very distracting. Is there a way to disable this? I've been putting transitions in, which works, but I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks,
Elsa

Thank you very much! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. This ended up working! It ***** that I have to add this extra step, but I'm glad there is a work around. Thanks again for you help.

Why does this purple rectangle appear at end of every clip???

Before updating to PPCC 2014, I didn't see this purple whenever the playhead reach the end of a clip. Is this normal?

Option to suppress End Of Sequence indicator
The End Of Sequence Indicator, a purple colored band that appears along the right edge of the last frame of a clip or sequence, is now turned off by default.
Overlay Settings control the End Of Sequence indicator. Because Overlay Settings are turned off by default, the End Of Sequence indicator is also turned off.
To view overlays but suppress the End of Sequence indicator, deselect End Of Media/Sequence Indicators in the Overlay Settings dialog.

What is the keyboard Shortcut to go to the last frame or end of a clip?

I used to have this shortcut set up, but I reformatted my mac and now I can't find it anywhere. I've searched the forums and can't find it, and yes, I looked at the help and looked at the manual. I've also went to Tools->Keyboard Layout and went through every keyboard shortcut listed. It is probably staring me right in the face!
The closest I can find is the "goto next edit".
I do a lot of photo montages and had this shortcut set up so I could double clip the photo on the timeline, set my first keyframes and then shortcut to the end of the photo and set my last keyframes so I can do my "Ken Burns" effects. I actually had set a macro on my mouse to simulate the keyboard shortcut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

yes it is Michael, but our poster gave particular criteria where he loads a timeline instance of a clip in to the viewer and then wants to navigate to the first and last frame in the timeline instance of that clip ... which is in effect the in and the out point, hence Shift I and Shift O

Every clip and timeline is off-sync!

All my footage and timelines have slipped off sync about 5 frames. When opened in quicktime, everthing is normal again. What could possibly be wrong!

Could you clarify a little: are you saying that when you export from that timeline to a QT movie, it is perfectly in sync, or are you talking about a previous export before the problem occurred?

First and last frame disappearing off every clip

Hi,
Every clip I import in Final cut pro 6.0 loses its first and last frame.
The clips I import are in photoJpeg / 24p (verified with the -get info- of Quicktime Pro), but once in FCP they are marked as 23.98 ?!?!
In the browser the info of the clip says 23.98 and also indicates that the clip is 2 frames shorter.
When opened in the viewer the first and last frames are really missing.
It gets worse, when a clip is longer (ie: 500 frames), the first and last TWO frames are missing ?!?!
Am I alone with this problem?
Please help!!!

How are these clips getting created? Quicktime does not necessarily associate each frame with a certain TC, and the frame rate is dynamically calculated, rather than simply being hard-coded into the QT metadata. This results in Quicktimes that get created outside of FCP often showing up with different frame rates than you expect.
You might try exporting movies back out of FCP, ether from the master clips, or from sequences. I have noticed that when I export from a sequence at the correct frame rate, the missing frames come back. Other tools that might come in handy are Compressor for converting batches of files to QTs that FCP will like better, and Cinema Tools for conforming clips to a particular frame rate (like changing them from 24 to 23.98)
You might also try Dumpster which is a bare-bones utility that will allow you to view and edit the QT metadata directly.
Try some experiments and post back and let us know what you find out. I found that placing the clips in sequences at the proper frame rate and exporting new movie files worked well, but I have seen timing and frame rate shifts with some clips using this method...
Hope this helps -

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Here are 3 pictures detailing what I'm experiencing.
Picture 1; clip 1 tail frame.
Picture 2; clip 2 head frame.
Picture 3; clip 2 head frame is now tail frame of clip 1.
does this help describe what is happening? Basically every cut I make
leaves an unwanted frame as a ghost of the missing cut.
best,
Fred

Unwanted freeze frames at end of clips

Hi! I use iMovie 08 v 7.1.1 (529). My project is in 16:9 format and the video I use is 1280x720px .avi files (mjpeg codec) taken with a Canon TX1 camera and imported into iPhoto's library.
I have done about ten small projects in iMovie now, some are just clips strung together with cross disolve and/or ripple transitions between them. Other projects also have a background audio track extracted from long clips.
Lately, for no apparent reason, the video in some clips in my projects freezes about 0.5 to one second before the end of the clip. The transition to the next clip goes ahead with the unwanted freeze frame, and the background audio keeps playing - thereby going out of sync. This problem is apparent both when previewing the project in iMovie before it is exported, and also in the exported videos. (I have exported using Quicktime and .mp4 format - both as .h264 and MPEG4 Improved.) The first time I noticed the problem was when I was exporting a project at 10000kbps video (which probably was a bit higher than needed). Now the problem happens all the time, regardless of bitrate.
The strange thing is, these projects exported perfectly a few days ago. Then, trying to export them again now, the freeze-frame problems occurs.
When control clicking clips in any of my projects and selecting "Reveal in event browser", I now get the message that "the event for this clip is no longer available". Asking iMovie to "Reveal in Finder" works like a charm though.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
:Marius

The following information is extracted from the FCP User Manual, and gave me an explanation to such black extra frame at the end of my edits that I used to fund too. I hope it helps you.
Learning About the Out Point Inclusive Rule
Before you begin to set In and Out points, it’s important to understand the “Out point inclusive” rule that Final Cut Pro follows, so you can avoid an unexpected extra frame at your Out point.
Out point inclusive means that when you set an Out point at the position of the playhead, the frame that the playhead is on is included in your edit. This rule means that whenever you set In and Out points, the minimum duration set is always one frame long. For example, if you place the playhead on a specific frame, and then set both an In point and an Out point, the In point is placed at the beginning of the frame and the Out point is placed at the end, resulting in a one-frame duration. If this rule did not exist, it would be
possible to create edits with zero duration, which would be useless.

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.

Random frames in sequence after render, Premiere Pro Cs6

I've had this problem a few times before, but I'm going to finally open up about it since this is happening beyond my personal projects and is effecting my corporate work.
After I do a render of my entire sequence I end up with a frame of a title I created at the start, in all my cross dissolves.
Here's a video of the problem. I've read of someone having the same problem in the past, but I can't recall how they solved it.
I really don't understand what the problem is, and it's effecting my work. I've tried clearing my cache, re-rendering, clearing render files, and re-rendering, and all the procedural stuff.

That worked in removing the opaque title in this specific situation. I'll keep it in mind for the next time I need a solid background color. Thank you.
But how would you go about trying to resolve a random frame in the middle of a clip? The frame is of a shot earlier in the sequence, and it has no reason to randomly appear in the middle of a rendered clip. No transitions, just hard cut and placed together clips.
I'd post screenshots of that situation, but I had already tore apart the sequence and re-rendered it to make it work.
For whatever reason, out of the blue, when I render footage a random frame from the sequence will occasionally embed itself in the video preview files that were just rendered in the sequence.
As for this project. I exported this corporate shoot, and the slightly opaque titles weren't in the cross dissolves, thankfully. The client was happy, but I was still confused as to why my rendered video previews would contain random frames of the sequence. For just a frame.

Selecting a random frame in another scene

I have an app I'm creating with Flash CS5.5 with 42 different short stories in it. It has 2 scenes. Scene 1 is the opening and contents menu to access the stories. Scene 2 contains the 42 stories.
In scene one, I have a button that I want to be able to pick a random story so it would need to pick a random frame between 1 and 42 in scene 2. I have seen some code in here that will pick a random frame when you open the program, but I don't know how to tie it to a button or pick a random frame in another scene. Any ideas on how this is done?
Thanks!

I don't understand why, but it's not working properly for some reason. I have only one scene now and the 42 stories ended up being in frames 88-139. When I click the random button the first time, it seems to work ok. It sometimes works a 2nd or 3rd time, but it eventually gets to the last story and it won't do anything after that. I think it's going past the last frame of the timeline so the buttons no longer work after that.
There is a randomizing button on every frame except for frame 1.
This is the code I'm using for it with the first randomizing button located on frame 2:
Random02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoF02);
function gotoF02(e:Event):void{
this.gotoAndStop(88+Math.floor(this.scenes[0].numFrames*Math.random()), this.scenes[0].name)
After frame 2, the button changes to Random03, 04, etc. and the function changes to gotoF03, 04, etc.
Any ideas of what is going wrong?
Thanks!

GPU Acceleration causes random frame in encode?

New Mac Pro (6 core, d500 cards, 32GB RAM, OSX10.9.4). Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014.0.1. Tested on two separate machines of the same configuration.
I have a just over 2 hour long 1080p ProRes file that I was encoding to MPEG2 for DVD. During QC of the disc, a random frame from another part of the movie was found in a spot about 39 minutes into the encode. The issue was in the encoded MPEG2 stream.
The client also wanted a lower resolution h264 proof of the video, and that was encoded on the same machine at a separate time. That had the same random frame at the exact same spot.
I encoded the preview h264 in just a few minute segment of the video around the glitch on the second Mac Pro. It showed up again. I used the same setting but turned off GPU Acceleration, and the frame is gone.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on here? Obviously there is a problem with GPU acceleration on the new Mac Pro's with Media Encoder, but what could be specifically causing it and what could be done to fix this? With all of the issues in Premiere and After Effects, some of which are being caused by software updates, and the issues with the one Mac Pro needing to be replaced due to bad video cards, I feel like there is just a ton of problems that didn't exist on our outdated Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro 7.
Please let me know of any ideas to make me not doubt every encode I do on these machines with GPU Acceleration turned on. Thanks.
-Phil

Does anyone have any additional ideas on this? I heard from the CreativeCow forums that this has been a known bug with GPU Acceleration on the new Mac Pros. Is this the case? Has anyone else had this issue looked at by Adobe?

How do I add a transition between every clip in Premiere Elements 11?

Greetings -
Folks, I'm looking for a feature that even the cheesy old Windows Movie Maker used to have. I'm trying to figure out how to get Premiere Elements 11 to add a transition between every clip via some shortcut/quick means. I find it obnoxious and inefficient that I need to manually drag a transition between every clip. If I import 200 short clips that I took with my point and shoot camera, it'll take me over an hour alone just to put the transitions in place.
Is there any way to select a transition and have Premiere Elements add it between every clip? I've stumbled on the fact that you can click a transition and make it the "Default" but have not been able to figure out what that does for me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Andy

I think trying Edit > Preferences > General > Video Default Transition Duration will fix it. Mine came with 30 frames set at installation.

Every clip needs rendering once in timeline

This is a new problem. I dealt with my last short project by constantly rendering. This is a bigger project, so I really need to get back to the old way of doing things where you can drop a clip into the timeline and it's ready to go, and you can slide it this way and that without re-rendering.
Why are all my clips needing to be rendered when I place them into the timeline???
Thanks.

#28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.
