Repeating Frames Prior to a Transition

Hello All,
I'm sure it's something that I have overlooked, but I'm going to need some help. I have a DVD of individual clips I want to make into one longer project and include titles, transitions, and chapter markers. So I ripped (legally...their my clips) these clips off of the DVD via Handbrake. Handbrake encoded them in .m4v, so through Streamclip I took these clips and converted them to AIC/.mov/48,000. From there I imported them into FCE to edit.
I had no problem putting the project together, but at each transition (all of the transitions are Fade In Fade Out Dissolve) about one second of the the clip prior repeats. So for example if the end of a clip goes 5 6 7 8 9 (where the fade begins at 8), 6 and 7 reappear as the transition starts. This appears on all of the clips and all of the transitions. One interesting thing is that when I scrub through the transitions, this repeating does not occur.
My Easy Setup for this is:
Format: NTSC
Use: DV-NTSC
Item Properties for a representative clip:
Type: Clip
Creator: Quick Time Player 7
Vid Rate: 29.97
Frame Size: 720x480
Compressor: AIC
Data Rate: 3.0 MB/sec
Pixel Aspect NTSC
Field Dominance: Lower (even)
Composite: Normal
Audio: 1 Stereo
Aud Rate: 48.0 KHz
Aud Format: 16-bit Interger
Any direction as to what I have missed would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Marc

You have an AIC clip in a DV Timeline!!
You need to change the FCE Easy Setup to match the AIC Streamclip converted files, audio and video properties.
Then you have a chance. At the moment the field order is back to front.
If you have to render all the Timeline when a clip is edited to it, there is a mis-match issue somewhere.

Al,
When I saw you answered I thought I would have a "duh" moment, but I'm still not clear. In trying to understand what I have done incorrectly let me be more specific.
I have two sequences with identically converted clips. When I began working on sequence #1, I set the Easy Setup as I described, but FCE said that the sequence did not match the clip...do I want it to. I said yes. I finished this sequence and it played correctly. I did the same thing for sequence #2, but this sequence plays with the repeated frames during the transitions. The Easy Setup still shows the DV-NTSC setting.
So I have two sequences that I set up the same way. One plays fine and the other doesn't.
In neither case did I need to render the clips after I put them in the Timeline. I'm assuming this is because I converted them prior to importing them to FCE.
If there is some other piece of info I'm missing that would help, let me know and I'm happy to get it.
Thanks again,
Marc

Premiere adding repeated frames when overwriting with transitions

Hi,
Having a bit of a problem (software bug?). I work with groups of clips on a timeline with 5 clips for each group (Intro / segment1 / segment2 / segment3 / outtro) and each week we replace 1 or 2 of each segment so we don't have to do a complete re-edit each week (for example one week we may replace segnemt 2 in each group for the new week and keep 1 & 3 intact)
I'm replacing clips on a timeline using an Overwrite Edit while keeping the transitions from the previous clips intact (cross dissolve with center alignment). The new clip is IDENTICAL in length to the previous clip I'm replacing (so "handels" are already there) however Premiere is adding repeated frames to the head of the new clip (so the incoming image freezes up until half way thorugh the transition). One way I found to fix this is using the SLIP tool to drag the new clip to the left and line up the in point of the new clip to where it should be. I'd use this as a fix, however I'm replacing over 300 clips in some instances and it's just not time efficient to slip and tweak each one.
I hope this makes sense.
Anyways, has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Phil

I hear ya, unfortunately in our case we actually don't have a choice deciding where each scene begins and ends because the first frame of the next clip is the next frame in the animation sequence (we have a tile wall floating with moving images over so the flow between the two clips needs to be seemless.) We use a cross dissolve where the overlapping frames match each other during the transition, so the 5 segments stitched together look like one consistant flow). We do this so we can swap out different content segments each week so we can quickly update rather than spending hours re-building the entire segment each week. If you've ever seen the FirstLook conclusion in the movie theaters before the movie starts, that's what I do Sounds like Ann's solution will work for us in this case.
Cheers!

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.

Question regarding Repeating Frames...

Hi
I've been using Oracle Reports for a short time. I am trying to accomplish something within a repeating frame but can't seem to get it to work.
The results I receive from my SQL query are in the form of a month associated with a numeric value. These values are being repeated in the frame, so the rows are displayed as: Calendar Period of January value of 5 - Calendar Period of February value of 10, Calendar Period of March value of 15, etc...
The values are cumulative in my results so I need to subtract the prior month from the current one. I can't figure out how to do this in Reports.
Is there a way to retrieve a value from the previous frame in a repeating frame? I know I can create a Function to do the calculations. My problem is accessing the value prior to the one being displayed.
Thanks

There are probably a variety of ways to do this. Probably the easiest is to use the LAG function in the actual SQL statement. The example below is taken from the Oracle SQL reference.
SELECT last_name, hire_date, salary,
LAG(salary, 1, 0) OVER (ORDER BY hire_date) AS prev_sal
FROM employees
WHERE job_id = âPU_CLERKâ;
LAST_NAME HIRE_DATE SALARY PREV_SAL
Khoo 18-MAY-95 3100 0
Tobias 24-JUL-97 2800 3100
Baida 24-DEC-97 2900 2800

How to get the values from repeated frame?.

Hi
how to get the values from repeated frame?. i have to disply the first 3 digits in another place in my report.
i have field empno in repeated frame and i want to disply first 3 digits in another place in the same report.
thanks

How often do you need to display it? It sounds like you might want to base a summary on that formula with a function of first or last. If it's a per page basis, it can be a page level summary. If it's at a higher level repeating frame, then you can create the summary at that level. I'd suggest taking a look at the online help for summaries using the first/last functions.
Hope that helps,
Toby

How to fix objects below repeating frame?

hello all! I wonder how to fix the last elements such as signature area of a sale order report to the bottom of the last page?
i find the area always appear closely after the detail lines...i don't want this
Thanks for any help!

hi philipp!Thanks for your reply.
I am meaning that a have some text objects lower than a repeating frame which height is variable and i want to have the distance between the text objects and the bottom of the page to be fixed,instead of varying according to the height of the repeating frame.The text objects and the repeating frame are in a same container frame so i can't set the vertical elasticity of the frame to fixed.
Any idea?

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
Thanks,

it must work.... and check out thels_fieldcat-fieldname again.. you have to give the correct fielname in uppercase inside ' '.
thankyou.

Is it possible to show the same repeating frame in 2 columns?

Hello, and thank you all in advance for any help!
Here is the situation:
I have simple report with 1 repeating frame and 3 data columns in it.
I want to be able to have a second column on each page that continues the data from the repeating frame. That is to say, one the left the data would go from top to bottom like normal, then instead of going to page 2, it would go into a column to the right on the same page.
The repeating frame is small enough to fit at least 2 of them horizontally.
I cannot seem to find the way to make this layout work. Is it possible?
Thanks again,
-Arin

Nevermind everyone!
I got it to work with Print Down/Across...silly me.
Thanks anyway!

How to get the number of rows in a repeating frame ?

Hi all,
When I launch a report from forms then sometimes there are data in the report and sometimes there are no data. And the problem is that when there are no data then the frame containing the repeating frame is still displaying and a blank page displays on the report.
So I want to get the number of rows from the repeating frame so that I can code a format trigger on the frame to display or not the enclosing frame depending on the existence of data from the repeating frame.
Thank you very much indeed.

Dear Friend,
You can achieve this. Define a summary column (say cnt). Select summary type as "COUNT". select any one of columns that are getting displayed in your repeating frame as summary column and provide "reset at" group name (or set this to report if you are defining this field at report level) . This "cnt" variable will contain how many records that will be fetched for your repeating frame (i.e. Group of Repeating frame). You can use this "CNT" variable in your format trigger.
In this case there is no need to write before report trigger or anything.

Manish Trivedi

Please suggest problem in increasing height repeating frames

Hi,
in my report normally up to 100 are printed. i setted the vertical elasticity as expand and horizontal as fixed.
but while priting, in vertical, it is contracting if date is too short enough and expanding when dat is large enough. But what my requirement i want to specify the height of each field in repeating frame fixed. i.e. 3 centimeters and it should be same for all records printed on page and on each logical page and i want to print maximum 8 records per page becoz my print page size can hold maximum 8 records and each record at 4 lines. And even if the data is short enough it must not be contracted, if data is one line,and the remaining space that is in 3 cemtimers should be left blank and it must to go to second record. That is in fixed heigt of record repeart frame i want to print the data. If data goes more than 3 centimetres then date must be truncated. I did not find any height to set this property in Repeating frame property.
please suggest solution'
thanks in advance
prasanth a.s

Hi Prasanth,
Enlarge the Repeating Frame height to say, 3 centimeters in the layout.
Set the Vertical (& Horizontal as well) Elasticity of the repeating Frame as Fixed.
In the Property Palette of Repeating Frame, set Maximum Records Per Page to 8 and Set Page Break after property to Yes.
This will solve ur problems.
Have a nice day...

How to find out no. of records or repeating frame in a page

Hi All,
How do I find out how many records have been displayed on a particular page?
I'm having a repeating frame, and I want to know print another item, on a condition that if the records printed on the page are less than 5 then it should be printed otherwise not.
The item to be printed is not a part of the repeating frame whoz occurences have to be counted.
Regards
Naveen

Hi Naveen
You can create a Packaged varaible that acts as
global variable , and you can increment this
variable in the repeating frames Format Trigger .
Based on the value of the variable , you can
return true or false for the item that you want to
display .

Repeated Frames at the end of clips

I have a MacBook Pro with the adobe premiere pro cc 14, but I noticed this problem is CS6 also. The problem is this: Say I have two clips in the timeline that are connected (Clip A, Clip B).
If I alter Clip B in anyway (change scale or position, or simply remove it from the timeline) the first frame of Clip B will remain at the end of Clip A. So, when I execute the playback function I can see a quick flash of Clip B at the end of Clip A.
Here's what I've tried:
I tried rendering the files--didn't work.
I tried simply trimming the repeated frame off--didn't work.
Here's what did work.
There's a straight line that goes through every clip, I don't know what its called but I think it has something to do with the speed, I would drag that from say 100 to 96.55. The video would have the red render bar above it, and the repeated frame would disappear.
HOWEVER, in my current project I have serval repeated frames in a blank space where there are video clips, so the previous method can not work.
What the heck!?!?!
Thanks

What are these clip exactly

Repeating Frames

In my report, my query is a 184 column table. Select query is also a 184 column table.
There are Repeating frames in my layout editor, each contains 10 columns. From the 2nd repeating frame onwards, the page break before property is "Yes". Now if, for the 1st repeating frame there is data (10 columns only) Then the rest of the page is blank. All the page break before property is "Yes" How do I avoid these blank pages
null

If you want a page break between records in the change of group mentioned, set the number of records per page property to 1 (it should currently be zero).
Remember that the page break after property is related to the anchoring object and is not immediately obvious what it is doing. Try setting it back to no.
