Rendering issue in the timeline/canvas

Hello there,
Whenever I try to to manipulate the display of a clip by dragging the image and repositioning the clip by its handles (using image + wireframe mode) in the timeline, I am unable to preview it in real time (requires rendering). What puzzles me is that if I try and do the same with the same clip in the viewer I am able to play and preview in real time. Is there any plausible reason for this?
I've tried to change sequence playback settings to low quality but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Emi Polito.

It will vary from machine to machine (more power = more RT effects in the Canvas/Timeline) but if it's off, turn on "Unlimited" in the RT button in the Timeline window if it's off.

ODD issue with the "timeline" getting moved over

notice the left side of the timeline how its been moved from the left side of the full interface window. even if i close the projects tab on the left the timeline "still" does not default to the very left side. what happened is i was pulling a clip away from the far left and i actually pulled the timeline instead. ive thrown away preferences and set as best back to any defaults i could find but nothing fixes this oddity.
also, it has nothing to do with the scrolling bars!
i ended up just throwing away the whole app and am now downloading the full program again. has to be a bug?

something is different still i think? zero meaning the beginning is just zero. in your example you have an audio clip laying further to the left than where your 00:00 actually is. how is it that you can get a piece of your audio to cross over that point and butt up to the side of project panel? my clips only go to the edge of that opening, not in it?
id swear it wasnt there until i notice i pulled it over. maybe im dreaming.
david
EDIT: yep, i must be on drugs or something because its there on some tutorials ive been watching. never noticed before until i did something then there was the illusion that i made that space. id still like to know though how you got your file to lay to the left of zero. thanks for your help!

How to go back to frame 1 when the timeline reaches a certain frame?

I have a timeline that has some label frames at the very end of the timeline. During the timeline a user will hit a button on a frame and will jump to one of the label frames. On the label frame is another button that when clicked - returns the user to the previous frame. How do I make the movie return to frame 1 - without a button - but before it reaches the label frames? In other words, by simply reaching a certain frame in the movie, I want the timeline to go back to frame 1.
I am using Action Script 3 on a PC
Thank you.

Thanks from me as well. I'm trying to make an interactive house simulation game (basic) and hit this issue where the timeline needs to skip to the next segment as several options are available per room (listed one after the other in the timeline). Flash isn't particularly easy to use when it comes to this kind of thing. Is Flash Catalyst CS5 more suited to this?

UI rendering issue in Skin editor (11.1.2) on Mac

Hi,
I just tried to run the stand alone skin editor (11.1.2) on Mac OS X and noticed some UI rendering issue - All the icon and menu are hidden unless I move the mouse cursor over them. (sometimes they don't even show up if I do so) And every time when I launch the program, I see lots of null pointer exception from "com.apple.laf.AquaMenuPainter.paintMenuBarBackground(AquaMenuPainter.java:140)"
It looks like a platform specific issue, since the Oracle claims Mac is also certified. Is there any work around for that?
Mac OS X: 10.6.7
JVM: 1.6.0_24
JDev: 11.1.1.5 (may be not relevant here)
Thanks,
Steven

Hi Steven,
I just downloaded standalone SkinEditor 11.1.2.1 and had the same problem as you.
I managed to get round it thankfully.
As you mentioned, the menu items become visible sometimes when moving the mouse over them. I managed to find the Preferences menu item and opened it. In the Environment section I changed the Look and Feel from Oracle to Mac OS X. When I restarted the editor came up with no errors.
I don't think the Mac OS X look and feel is as nice though so I did some more digging.
I found a file called jdev-Darwin.conf in jdev/bin that contains Mac specific configuration for JDeveloper. In here I noticed the following line:
AddVMOption -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=trueAs the error we were getting was to do with menus I copied the line into skineditor.conf and hey presto it works for the Oracle look and feel. The app menus are on the Apple menu bar rather than the Java app window but I can live with that.
Cheers,
Kevin

Can I link 2 superimposed clips in the timeline & save it to the browser?

Hi,
I have created a superimposed split screen in my Timeline using two video clips. Can I link these two video clips together and save them in the Browser?
My goal is to be able to load it as one clip in the Viewer.
Thanks,
Humbucker

My timeline has many edited tracks. My browser has many clips but there is >only one item named "sequence." Nothing happens when I click on it.
The Sequence represents what's in the current Timeline, it's already open. If the Timeline/Canvas was not on the screen double clicking the icon would make it appear.
Right click in a blank area in the Browser and select *New Sequence* (make sure it matches the other one) and another Sequence appears.
Double click the new one and it will appear in the Timeline with nothing in it.
Drag your other Sequence onto the Canvas Overlay that say Insert.
You now have a Sequence with one clip that is a composite of all the bits in the original Sequence.
As mentioned, change the names to identify them or you'll end up with a bunch of Untitled 1, Untitled 2 etc. making life difficult.
You can also copy a Sequence and paste it into another Project if you like. Essentially Sequences can be used like clips.

FCP 7/ Sync issue in the canvas and viewer-not in timeline.

I am using FCP 7 on a Mac Pro. I am seeing an audio/ video sync issue in the canvas and viewer if I display at anything less than 50%. at 50% the video is choppy, but will play in sync. If I adjust between 50% and 25% or less, I can actually see the frame change without moving the play head. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Thank you for the advice MtD. This content was encoded using H264 compression, but I have the option within my media encoder application to create only i frames-no B or P frames. This gives me a high quality file that is supposed to be much more "edit friendly" than standard H264.
I'm in an environment where re-rendering to Apple ProRes is not always an option. I have imported H264 content before and found no issue when trying to playback in the canvas. One odd thing I did encounter with my "problematic" file is that though I capture this at 23.976fps, Quicktime Player identifies the frame rate as 23.97fps and Final Cut then interprets this as 59.94fps. I thought this might be the culprit, but even after adjusting my frame rate to 23.98fps, and FCP7 importing as 23.98fps-the odd sync issue still appears in the canvas when displaying at less than 50%.
I will take your advise and re-render to Apple ProRes when that is a possibility.
Thank you.

Playing off the Timeline via firewire( XdCam pal) Monitoring Issues

Hey,
I have just switched to FCP and have found that when recording the from the FCP timeline manually via firewire into a Sony XDCam PDW530 I experience 4:3 flashes in the Camera monitor and viewfinder as the timeline plays down Video Transitions. All effects have been rendered (Blue line above transition)
However the Camera appears to record correctly to disc. I played the recorded material from the camera via an XD deck into a wide screen monitor and all appears fine the 4:3 flashes are not present on transitions. play the disc back in the camera and the 4:3 flashes for the duration of the Video Transitions return????
when playing out of the Camera via SDI and Analogue Composite outputs into a wide screen monitor all appears ok as well.
It's a little odd that you cannot monitor the output correctly on the XDcam. If i change the pull down settings from 2323 to 2332 it monitors the transitions correctly but the video aspect is somewhere between 4:3 and 16:9.
Shoot in 16:9 Capture DV Pal, Edit DV Pal, Playback Output Apple FireWire Pal (720 x 576)
Any ideas????

Thanks Shane,
We have been down the PRINT TO VIDEO road with the same playback issues in the XD Camera's LCD screen. We still see the 4:3 transition on the 16:9 image when playing off the timeline / playing back the recorded media in the camera and viewing on cameras screen .
I guess this is only a monitor issue. If you don't include any video effects it plays down 16:9 perfectly in the cameras monitor
What is recorded onto the disc is fine.
Also my understanding is the what's coming off the timeline is a DV stream so not sure how the GOP format comes into play. Recording onto a XD Cam off the timeline thru other edit programmes has never been an issue. I have come from Avid Pinnacle and the monitoring of transitions was never an issue when streaming back to the xdcam.
Thanks

Dragging video to the Timeline or Canvas from the Viewer

After placing In and Out points in the Viewer, I'm just curious if there is any real benefit to dragging the resulting video to either the Canvas or the Timeline? Is it just a matter of preference? Is one way a better way than the other to get into the habit of doing?
Thanks.

You have control over the track your putting it on if you drag to the timeline. You can also drag it to anyplace in the timeline where if you drag it to the canvas without any in or out point marked in the timeline, it will edit at the playhead. There are probably other differences, but that's what I can think of at the moment.

Opening the Canvas window and the Timeline from the browser

I am on an Intel 2x2.66 Dual Core using OS 10.4.11 and working in FCP 6.04.
I know this is a stupid question but having been a composer all my life, I am not up to speed on FCP and I seem to be unable to find the answer in my manual.
I dragged a QuickTime movie to the browser window. It is 500x375 in dimension and uses a H.264, AAC codecs. (info I got from the Get Info window).
The video shows up and plays in the Viewer window but I cannot get the Canvas window nor the Timeline to open.
I have tried selecting the sequence from the list in the browser and then control clicking it and looking at the shortcut menu there. The manual says I should choose Open Timeline from this shortcut menu but that is not even a choice I have. I don't mean it is grayed out, I mean there is no Open Timeline choice on the menu.
As an alternate, the manual suggests selecting the sequence and then choosing View > Sequence in Editor. I tried this also. There is no Sequence in Editor choice under the View menu. There is a Clip in Editor choice but when I select that it simply opens the movie in Quicktime.
I am aware that I am probably forgetting something simple or doing something stupid but I cannot figure it out. Help would be much appreciated.
Thomas

the simple fact that is being eluded to here is that without an active sequence in the project (shown in the browser) there is no canvas or timeline. If you delete your sequence from the browser, the timeline and canvas will disappear, and you will have to create a new sequence, then open that sequence by double clicking it, to get those windows back. Canvas and Timeline display sequence content. No sequence, no c/t.

Hi, I've just downloaded the latest release 10.1.1 and now I do not see any more correctly my clips either in the canvas and in the timeline. Playing clips, they now appears with garbled images, completely unstables: I can not editing in these conditions!

Hi Russ, Thank you for your reply!
System Spec:
2x2.26 Ghz QUAD-CORE
12 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3
I've stored the library in HARD DISK which is installed inside my computer (1 TB capacity) and different from my hard disk in which I've installed all my applications (600 GB capacity).
I've installed FCP since 2001, bought FCP X in 2012: never had a problem. Yesterday I was editing my video of my last vacations (in California!) and I have updated FCP X, downloading FCP X 10.1.1: then the problem!
Strange is the fact that I've just tried to export a short project, I can see the final product quite well.
What is impossible is playing the clips within Final Cut: they are jumpimg, moving, presenting some frame in green or red ...
Everything all right in iMovie.
I've just checked the RAM: 9GB out of 12 GB is busy, could this be the problem?
Motion is very slow: for 20 sec of project, it takes minutes to play. And once again, if you finalize the projet and export it in Quicktime, you can see it correctly.
I do hope you may suggest something, I'm getting crazy!
Thank you in adavance
Claudio

Just wondering whether rendering is required for unedited AVI on the Timeline?

I just bought Premiere Elements 11.0. I was currently using Premiere Elements 3.02. In 3.02 When importing a standard AVI File to the timeline, only transitions and Titles needed rendering before exporting to DvD. However, I noticed when doing the same project in 11.0, There is no Red Lines above the titles or Transitions for it to be rendered. When I cliked on Render Project, it seemed it was rendering the entire AVI file and it took a very long time. Is this Normal for 11.0? or is there a Patch I need?

orlandoVideography
Just to add a little bit more to the story of "rendering the Premiere Elements Timeline content".
Given that rendering the Timeline content is for previewing purposes (to get the best possible preview of your Timeline content when it plays back in the Edit Mode monitor. You can do that in 3 ways in Premiere Elements 11
a. Pressing the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard
b. Expert workspace, Timeline Menu at top of workspace/Render Work Area
or
c. The Render tab to the right above the Timeline
You do not have to do this type of rendering for the program to allow you to move forward in the program. But, it is your window of opportunity to catch a problem sooner than later.
But, there are 3 indicators used by the program to tell you whether or not it feels that you have the best possible preview.
a. orange line (red line used in versions earlier than 11) OVER the Timeline content is program indicator for rendering recommendation
b. no colored line OVER the Timeline content and green line OVER the Timeline content are program indicators for "you have the best possible preview".
c. waving your mouse cursor over the Render button above the Expert workspace Timeline results in a pop up recommending rendering if the program decides you are not getting the best possible preview.
The no colored line comes into this when you import a file for the first time to the Timeline and it is a native format. But once you edit this file, orange line with all its implications - render. After this render, that file will then only use the orange/green indicators and not the no colored line for it.
As always, rendering is most appropriate for transitions, effects, titles, and non native formats.
Remember to keep watch for pile ups of the preview files on the hard drive....if you have a SD project, the previews (for photos or video) are DV.AVI 720 x 480 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second and, for HD project (for photos and video), they are MPEG2.mpeg. 960 x 540 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second, Upper Field First accompanied by some other files such as .xmp.
And, the program does help out...if you want to render and the program decides you have the best possible preview, then all you will get from trying to initiate Timeline rendering is playback of the Timeline with no rendering.
Then there is the old story of saving/closing a project with a rendered Timeline only to reopen the project and find an orange/red line over the content. Does not happen too often lately, but it can be a puzzlement. More on that other time if necessary.

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

I would like to change my back ground color in one frame for a logo that i am using I am able to change it on the canvas but not on the timeline?

Are you using FCPX? It doesn't have a canvas. Do you really mean one frame, like 1/30th of a second? Add a custom generator underneath the logo. Make it whatever color you want. Make it however short you want.

Rendering issue, it suddenly take 3 times the time

Hi,
I've been looking all over the forums, google, adobe community I'm not abble to find any answer.
Here is my problem, I've been using PPro for a year now, I never had any issue concerning the render, but yesterday, I finished a wedding video (11min) and I wanted to render it to youtube HD 1080 25p so I can send the video by mail.
Usually, 15min of video takes me 3 hours of rendering, using neat video, somtimes colorista and so on... never had any issue. BUT ... yesterday, I do my render as usual and it shows more than 4 hours to render it ... and the time is not decreasing ! So I let it on during the whole day (more than 12hours) and it wasn't at 75% ... There is definitly something wrong, but I can't put my finger on it, and it is quiet frustrating as I was supposed to deliver the video 24h ago... and I have other video to make !
Please help me, I'm out of idea, I already deleted the AME cache, I tried different render settings, I don't understand... I linked a print screen of my CPU and RAM during the render, you will see that it isn't fully used ...
My config :
Intel core i7 3770
16Gb DDR3 corsair ram
Windows 64bits
GPU GTX660 2Go
the videos are on an external HDD using usb 3.0, (never had any problem before)
Thank you and sorry for my bad english, not my mother tongue

Hey, thanks !!
But unfortunately it is turned off, the only thing I see is that I add too many effects for my GPU and so the process takes much more time, i'm using colorista, misfire, neat video, and some other random effects, it's the only thing that makes sens to me, otherwise it sucks.
I launched the render this morning, 16 hours ago, it is only at 83% ... so baaaadd

Can anyone make --this fix-- work for the FONT rendering issue?

I found this bug report and proposed fix on the webkit buglist:
http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14070
Here is a link that one says can be used to fix the
rendering issue with bold fonts.
If anyone can make this work for Safari 3 on XP please let me know....
Here are the text and link to the how to:
You can fix rendering issues by changing language for non-Unicode programs. The
instruction:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx#EVE
You should restart system after applying setting.
Hope this helps someone
If not, then call apple support and complain....
maybe if their support phones are getting hot... then they
will fix this horrible bug

I don't believe this is a support issue, it's rather a Bugdev issue. Use the Bug-Report field in Safari to report this directly to the engineers. I also think the bug is known and will be solved, it's therefore not really in the range of AppleCare. (Beta Software is usually unsupported!)
