Rendering only 1 frame

This is a follow-up to posting http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1764783&stqc=true, which was never resolved. After following all efficiency recommendations, reinstalling Motion I finally upgraded both the OS (to 10.5.5) and the video care (to ATI X800 XT). The card helps a bit but the program/system is still having difficulty as a project complexity builds.
I've taken to cutting effects down into subsets, rendering out elements and then building on additional elements, something that can be limited depending on the effect.
Currently I have an effect of relatively few elements and the program will only render out 1 frame (actually yielding only a solid black frame) of a 02;12 segment.
What else is there to do?
Can't cut the elements down further. Using motion tracking from one, with Match Move in the other and a few filters between the two.
Any help is appreciated.
Apple really needs to upgrade this product. From the beginning it's been a program that is too functionally strong to run on its available hardware. Do we truly need to buy only top-of-the-line $15,000 Mac systems to run this program? If Apple wants to continue challenging Avid and Adobe they need to take this seriously; we indie producers/artists are their primary customers!

I followed the advise in an article and I moved the flv and swf file into the root directory of my site (they were inside a folder before)
I updated all the links and it now plays the video! but...
Before I exported the video from After Effects through XFL to Flash, inside Flash exported in to a SWF, inside dreamweaver inserted the SWF on the page. The file was large (5MB) but played fine in a web browser.
I got a few complaints from people with slower connections, so I wanted to add a pause/play button.
So this time I exported from After Effects only half of the slideshow as an FLV. Then in flash I made the button. Now inside a web browser the file plays very slowly and constantly stops (which changes the button to 'play'). The browser is constantly loading the FLV file, which is now 7MB!
It is only a slideshow of 6 pictures. I made them all 900px x 600px (my page size is 980) before adding them to AE.
I would love to have this button functionality, but it still is just a banner/slideshow on my webpage, I dont need a full FLV player skin.
Any reccomendations for me on how to display this file and also have pause functionality?

JTree renders only 10 records

I have a data model based on toplink and datacotrols were created on the toplink session. When I introduced a jtree bound with a data collection within datacontrol, it rendered only top ten records from the collection. When it is rendered in a jtable, all records were rendered. Any one knows why?

Figured it out. Needs to change the rangesize.

Speedgrade CC only renders one frame for 30 minutes

Graded a simple, straight, 30 minute clip in Speedgrade CC. Render to Prores LT.
It went through the entire render process, but the movie has only a single frame for the entire 30 minutes.
This was nothing but a simple primary gain and contrast grade. Nothing else.

I wouldn't say Sg is a badly compromised program ... if one takes a car and tries to make it do the work of a truck, well ... one will be unhappy with the car, but is it really the fault of the makers of the car?
Speedgrade has it's glitches, and no one on the planet can tell you more about them than the guys that created it or those that are working it behind the scenes. But Speedgrade is designed to be a grading program ... not an NLE or an encoding program. It has those functions simply so that for some who say just want to do quick dailies probably doing quick & dirty grading of un-trimmed "clips" just to get something out for directors to see if what they shot will work. In my experience, for that use you need to know exactly how it needs setting, and have your presets stored.
The whole idea of this software is to be part of a group ... each program specialized into one set of problems, rather than each trying to be an equal Swiss-Army knife. And in use, it works quite well (for most of us most of the time) though there are a few glitches. Such as say, key-framed masks that at times can be problematic. Be that as it is, use the program for what it is designed for. Within that, it can be pretty awesome.

HTML not rendering inside frames with Safari 2.0.3

When we type a url in Safari that contains frames, on the initial page load the html displays as text (does not render) in some of the frames.
When we hit the reload button on the toolbar, the html will render correctly. However, if we go back to the url and hit enter the page displays the html as plain text again.
We have cleared the cache and this has no effect on the outcome.
This works correctly in older versions of Safari and it works correctly in Firefox/IE.
Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a resolution?
One other item of note, this only happens when we use Apache as the webserver. If we use Tomcat, it renders correctly.
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Unfortunately the application cannot be exposed publicly. So I guess what I am looking for are suggestions as to why this may be occuring. Things to look at.
One thing we have done is compare the html coming out of the Safari version that works and the one that doesn't and the html that comes out of Tomcat versus Apache. Using a file comparison utility, the html is always exactly the same.
Thanks in advance.

CS5 rendering wrong frame count?

Normally I'd assume that this is user error, but we're seeing this problem on multiple computers from multiple animators running multiple versions of OSX. When we render out a project at full-res, 16-bit Avid1:1x, the file that's produced is randomly the wrong amount of frames -- for example, a 170 frame project resulted in a render that was 212 frames. We've double-checked everything, and the render settings are all correct. What's really weird is that if we render the exact same project at half-res, the frame count of the rendered file is correct.
Has anyone else ever seen this happen? It's only happened in CS5, and we're witnessing it happen almost every day. I'd guess that there's something weird going on with the Avid1:1x codec, but we use the exact same codec in CS4 without issue.

This may relate to the inability to access the CoDec specific settings panels for Avid CoDecs and specifics. I would dare a bet and say that the CoDec is locked into a specific framerate that isn't compliant with your comp settings. here's the deal: Since Avid CoDecs have dedicated settings for fields, it seems to me that when rendering at half res it is interpretting AE's reduced res as fields, which it thne simply duplicates or as correct full frames. At full res, it interprets the data wrongly and thus you end up with incorrect frame counts. So, to cut a long story short, unless you get access to the CoDec options from wuithin AE, which because of the mentioned bug may not be possible, I see no way to get it working correctly. Thus, for the time being, you will have to use otehr CoDecs or image sequences.

Why After Effects CC renders only 12 seconds ?

I just got After Effects Creative Cloud and to try it out, I made a 2 minutes long vidéo. When it's time to render it, it will only render 12 seconds and than stop, when I try to render more, the lines passes from green to blue. If somebody knows how to fix this, it would be really nice! By the way I got a Mac Book Pro with the latest version of OS X.

If you mean render then your Output Module Render Settings are set to work area instead of composition length. Go through the basics.
If you mean RAM preview then, depending on the project you will have to lower the resolution of your comp window preview or skip frames. AE is NOT a NLE and will NOT playback long high resolution sequences in real time. You cannot use all system ram for previews. More helps, free memory helps, but you have to learn to work around the limitations.
My normal work flow for an animation is to plan, set up the timing of the animation using markers or other visual cues, set the initial motion keyframes, do a 1/4 or 1/2 rez motion preview, finish the final color grading and effects work checking key points of the animation at full resolution and full screen to verify the shot looks the way I want at just those key points, then I add that comp to the AME cue to render a test while I move on to the next shot or effect. Total amount of time I spend waiting for and looking at full resolution full length shots to RAM preview before rendering is zero minutes. Motion tests and initial animation can happen very quickly and this will give you time to refine the other elements of your 'shot' in a more productive manner. The only longer than a minute projects that I have done completely inside AE are dynamic text animations and most of that kind of animation is just motion so 1/4 rez motion tests are really all you need to do to check timing. Keep motion blur and other effects turned off while you're checking the timing, then turn them on, check a few key frames or a second or two of a transition and move on. You'll get way more done in a day.
For most of my projects a 2 minute comp is extremely long. I suspect that you are trying to create a whole sequence in AE and edit there. AE is for shots. Most shots in movies or commercials are just a few seconds. You should be creating your shots in AE and editing the shots to tell the best story in a NLE. While this sounds like it involves more steps and is just more work to do, in the end, it's a way more efficient way to work.

Have an ajax memory tree in a pl/sql region be rendered only once in a page

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.

DW CS5 problem- Windows XP - window not showing up - only frame

I installed Dreamweaver CS5 on my older (5 yrs) Sony Vaio laptop with a Pentium M processor and 2 gig of ram running Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3. When Dreamweaver launches, there is that green box/shape that shows up while the program starts completely. That shape is missing the "text" box. See the big hole there? (It happens every time whether I am launching MSWord at the same time or not.) Like this:
Then the bigger problem is in the define a new site window that only appears with the frame and the two spots where you "could" define your site information. I can't continue past this screen. I am new to using DW on a PC. I have DW CS4 on my Mac, but need it to work with Access and ColdFusion for an online class I'm taking.
Other windows such as the help window do the same kind of thing. A frame appears with no content. If you can see, there is even some weird stuff across the top of the window in the second image. It shows whatever is beneath Dreamweaver - this time it was a blank MSWord document. After the Help tab at the top and before and after the Designer button.
I have been in touch with Adobe Product Help three times and they have escalated the case to the next level of support... which means I'm waiting with baited breath for 24-48 hours when they have promised a response to this issue.
I tried doing this to resolve the issue with the guidance of Adobe support:
Free up space on hard drive (now >50% available)
Uninstall and reinstall (no errors)
Install latest update
Deleted Dreamweaver folder out of Registry Edit area
Increased virtual memory
Modify the start page information in the registry edit area and then changed it back after it didn't work
I know this is an old computer - but does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?
Thanks for any help provided! Casper29

Try making sure that the iPod is connected to a USB port in the rear of your computer. Try to use one of the original ports that came with your computer, not an added in card, or through a hub, or anything like that.
See if you're able to restore the iPod

Also, have a look at this article, and see if you can find anything useful in here:

If you're able to get your computers to recognize your iPods, but you're still not getting it set up in iTunes, have a look at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
Uninstalling your iTunes will not erase any of the music that you have saved on there. Music that you download from iTunes, or import from a CD, saves as a file in:
Start > My Music > iTunes > iTunes Music
If you downloaded a song from a different source (such as Limewire) and you edited the information so that it shows up correctly on your iPod, you may need to go back and re-edit this information. But, if you imported from CD or downloaded from iTunes, this will not be necessary. When you open your newly installed version of iTunes, it will automatically pull your music from that location and bring it up in your library.
If you're having this problem when installing a new iPod on your computer, but an older one works without problems, you might want to try to make sure you have updated software
iTunes 6.0.4
Open iTunes > Help > About iTunes
If you need to update:

iPod Updater 2006-03-23

Works fine in IE6 & 9, renders only background in IE7, wont load in IE8

Hi, I'm relatively new to Browserlabs but am finding it very helpful. My question has to do with how a page can renders OK in IE6, perfectly in IE9 and not even load ("page error") in IE8 - plus all I see in IE7 is the background.....
Here is the link: http://www.imsgonline.com/engageinteractive
the site is a Wordpress site, using much of the HTML5 Boilerplate in the HTML
Of course, it works fine in FF, Safari and Chrome
The only glitch in IE6 is that the background is missing, so it is kinda ironic that IE7 displays ONLY the background...
I am viewing browserlabs on a mac, generally in Firefox.
Any ideas / help would be appreciated!
michael

The IE8 problem appears to be the same as the issue described here on the Respond framework: https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond/issues/27#issuecomment-2109126
This appears to be an IE8 issue exposed by the use of the html5-boilerplate stuff. There are a couple of possible causes and workarounds identified in the thread - can you try them and see if this resolves the rendering in IE8?

Problem rendering -- only part of the comp gets rendered

I'm puzzled as to why our comps are only getting the first part rendered. then it stops and the rest looks like a still image. could this be a memory issue?
We're using IMacs with Tiger.
Thank you!

It's all being done from local files, either on the hard drive or on a flash drive. no network involved.
It would seem the iMacs can't handle it for some reason. They hav 1GB RAM and the processor is wGH PPC G5
This morning i tried the same file on a different computer in the lab, (the instructor's computer) a tower, memory: 1 GB, processer: 1.8, 1.8 GHz Power PC
g5, and it works on that one.
I'm puzzled because last year with the same computers we had no problem. It was the previous version of After Effects, fwiw.
While i'm relieved to see that it could work on the instructor's computer, i'd like to know if there's anything that can be done to make the iMacs work too. are there settings i should be looking at in Preferences perhaps?
Thanks much.

Premiere cc 2014 renders not frame accurate?

I'm rendering some sequences from cc 2014 (the latest October release) all are exactly 20:00:00 long, with out set on that frame exactly. However if I bring the exports into after effects, some of them are a frame longer or shorter than they should be.
Any suggestions what might be going on? All sequences are progressive and 25 fps.

Hi w00lf!
A common issue is that many people do not know to use caution when marking an Out with the Premiere Pro playhead. The physical makeup of the playhead includes both the head and tail of a single frame. Placing the playhead on a desired out point and then marking Out will have the effect of marking Out one frame too late. To get the proper duration you are expecting, always move left one frame - then mark Out.
If you zoom in to the playhead, you can see what I mean. In the screenshot, you can see the front edge of the playhead is on the cut. Marking In here is no problem. If you mark Out with the playhead (as shown), you are marking Out at the back end of the playhead, one frame too late and one frame in to the adjacent clip. When marking durations, you have to be very mindful of this behavior.
Many editors make this mistake for quite some time before realizing the issue at hand. When I taught editing in various trade schools here in CA, I made sure all my students knew about this quirk.
Thanks,
Kevin

Rendering ONLY 0:00.01 of my project!

Hi, I'm still kind of new to After Effects, but this has never happened... When I render my composition, it only renders 0:00.01 of my whole project. It says In Point: 0;00;00;00 and Out Point: 0;00;00;01... I've tried many things but have not figured it out. Meanwhile my whole project is more than 1:15.00. Any help is appreciated.

You might have accidentally changed the gray bar at the top of your timeline graphical display. You can drag
this out to the full length of your master comp timeline by holding shift while dragging to snap to
important points like keyframes in your time line. It is a thick gray bar, not the thin gray bar that controls how much of the timeline you see in the viewport. The thick gray bar displays the length of your Rendering Project.

Activating Click event on Item Renderer only

Hey. I'm working on a s:list and a click event problem. I have everything working just fine on the component and linking, but as you probably guessed, the event cues when anything on the s:list is clicked, including the scroll bar or empty space.
Is there a quick fix to make the event only cue when an Item Renderer is clicked inside the list? Help would be much appreciated, I've been trying to solve this problem for a while.
Thanks!
RKaster

Hi RKaster,
do you need the reference to the item renderer by force or could you immagine a different approach? If you could work around that you could use the change event instead of the click event. The change event gets fired whenever the selection of items in the list change. A click on an item renderer of course will change the selection if the underlying item isn't already selected.
If you can't work around the need of an item renderer reference you should experiment with the mouseChildren property of the List component (inherited from DisplayObjectContainer, see http://bit.ly/dhqCFS). IMHO of course

Thilo
