Running clip in reverse produces jerky movement

I have a "Compression — None" sequence that eventually ends up encoded for DVD. I have a couple of clips that are retimed. Some of them look fine, and others have jerky movement on the final DVD. In another case, I have a person running into frame and then I copy that clip and reverse it so the net effect is that he runs into the frame and then runs out backwards. No retiming was done to that particular clip. On the resulting DVD, he runs in fine, but when he runs out (reversed in the Motion tab, the motion is jerky.
Any ideas what's going on?

Playing reversed clips correctly is a non-trivial problem and FCP's reversing function is very simplistic.
For a more elegant implementation check out Graeme Nattress's G-Reverser. It can be found on his website: www.nattress.com in the free section.
Good luck,

Google Earth Jerky Movement

I have the latest version of Google Earth 6 (6.0.2.2074) and am extremely disappointed at the choppy / jerky movement I am seeing. I have a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512MB GPU. My internet speed should be adequate at 8MB.
I have tried downloading earlier versions of Google Earth, 4 and 5 but these have the same issue on my machine. I've tried disabling all of the layers and turning off effects in the Google preferences panel. I've also tried using a smaller window. The jerky / choppy movement is always present.
While Google Earth is very stable and so far has never quit on me - this glitch is very irksome.
Is this 'normal' for Google earth on a MacBook Pro?

The problem is not flash related.
I booted into my XP partition and found the performance to be exactly the same. So, it's either the case that the hardware of my MacBook isn't up to the job - or Google Earth just does not produce smooth flowing graphics.
I may take a trip to the Apple Store and try out Google Earth on some other 'desktop' Macs.

Running Titles in Reverse

Can anyone tell me how to run titles in reverse. I have the credits running normally but would like to run in reverse when it gets to the end. Forwards then Backwards. I have tried the Clip/Speed,Duration but the reserve button in not clippable.

Here is a bit more detail on doing the Roll UP, and then Roll DOWN, using the fixed Effect>Motion>Position, plus acomment on the Rotation aspect.:
For the subtle Rotation, the biggest "trick" is to set the axis/pivot point for the Rotation, if you wish to also incorporate that treatment into your Title. The axis/pivot point can be moved, but you will need to do so, probably well outside of the Frame Size. In PrPro, this is harder, but if done in AfterEffects, becomes much easier.
In PrPro, once your Title has been created, and its total Duration set, the other parts are easy. Just Select the Title, and open the Effects Control Panel, if it's not already open (usually nested with Source Monitor and Audio Mixer by default, in a common Pane). Now, with the CTI at the first Frame of the Title, alter the fixed Effect>Motion>Position, so that the Title is below the Frame, , toggle ON animation (stopwatch icon) to add the first Keyframe. Advance the CTI to the mid-point of the Title's Duration (I use the little Timeline in Effects Control Panel, and you might need to open that with the little right-facing arrows in the upper-right of the Effects Control Panel), and then adjust your Position so that the Title is now off the top of the Frame and add a Keyframe. That takes care of your Roll-UP. You might want to add a bit of a "pause" here, and all you need to do is add another matching Keyframe, for the duration of that pause. Now, go to the last Frame of the Title (PageDN and one click of the left cursor arrow will do that for you), and adjust to the settings of your very first Keyframe for Position. Done.
Well, not quite, as one has the ability to adjust the Velocity of the Keyframes. For what you are doing, you might want to leave the Keyframes as Linear, but also take a look at some of the Velocity controls, like Auto Bezier, or Ease-Out/Ease-In, just to see if you like them better.
Hope that this Helps, and here is what the Keyframes would look like in the Effects Control Panel. Note: this image is from PrPro 2.0, but will be done the exact same way in later versions. Also, the Keyframes were left at Linear, with no Velocity changes:
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - notice that I made a mistake in my PM, as I mentioned PageUP to go to the Tail of the Title - that should have been PageDn, and then 1 left cursor arrow to get to the last Frame. Sorry about that.

How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's inside other movie clip?

Hi.
I creating my first flash (actionscript 3.0) website but I'm
stuck with a visual effect I want to create.
I have a window on my website called contentWindow. Every
time you click a button this window is supposed to leave the stage,
load the requested content and return to the stage.
The sliding window is a movie clip with 83 frames, 21 to
enter the stage, 21 to leave the stage again, 20 for nothing (its
just to simulate the loading time) and 21 to return to the stage.
Now my goal is, when the user clicks on a navigation button,
the window exits the stage, loads an external SWF with the content,
and then returns to the stage.
I've the "window" movie clip with an instance name of
"contentWindow". Inside there is another movie clip with an
instance name of "contentLoader". The content that the user
requested should appear inside the "contentLoader".
Now, when the contentWindow leaves the stage, I get this
error message:
quote:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at rwd_fla::MainTimeline/trigger()
If I switch
"contentWindow.contentLoader.addChild(navLoader);" for
"contentWindow.addChild(navLoader);" it works fine, but the
external SWF doesn't move with the window.
How can I load an external SWF into a movie clip that's
inside other movie clip?

Hi,
Recently, I have been putting together a flash presentation.
And I am just wondering if the following might help you, in your
communication with the said swf file:
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
event.target.content.thinggy_mc.y -= 100;
Not the best example, but this allows you to target a mc
within an external swf file. I think if you look up this code, you
will have an answer ;)
Kind Regards,

I rented a movie on my iPad. It downloaded fine but would only play 36 minutes, 5 seconds worth of the movie; although the time kept running for the length of the movie. Can this be fixed or do I need to get a refund?

You can try a rest:
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If that does work, contact iTunes and request a redownload. You can ask for a refund though.

How can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it

hi how can i let a move clip complete his motion tween movement after dragging and dropping it
i am using this code and there is a motion tween applies to the movie clip r_mc
r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,fun); r_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,fun2); function fun(event:MouseEvent):void { stop(); r_mc.startDrag();
function fun2(event:MouseEvent):void {
play(); r_mc.stopDrag();

i have a simple .fla file wich contains MC that has
a motion tween(its moving from the left to the right of the stage)
this motion tween covers the whole time line ( there is only 50 frames in the time line)
i mean in the frame 1 the MC appears in the left of the stage
and in the frame 50 the MC appears in the right of the stage and there is a motion tween between them
every thing till now working well
i want to make that MC dragabble
so when i drag the MC i will use stop()
and when i drop it i will use play()
but the problem is that the mc doesnt move and complete
his motion tween movement when i drop it
for example the MC will be in the middle of the stage in frame 25
in this frame (25) i am draging the MC ,stoping the timeline,dropping the MC and resum playing the timeline again
but the MC freezes in the middle of the stage and doesnt go to the right of the stageo until the flash loops and start from the frame 1 again
here is the example wich i am worikng on

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

Exporting clip from timeline as QT movie

Hi all
Is there an easy way to export as a QT movie a clip (or series of clips, 'mixed') to a QT movie with the same format as the timeline for easy re-importing? I often find myself wanting to export a group of clips (with matte, text or effects, perhaps) and then re-import it as one easy to manage clip. A kind of 'bounce selected clips to disk'kind of deal. I know I can export the whole timeline, but I often want to export just a bit of the timeline.
I hope that makes sense
Regards
Stephen

Absolutely. It is a basic function and I use it all the time.
Export a Quicktime Movie (first option in the list) making it self contained and using the sequence settings. You will end up with a clip that is independant and has the same settings as your sequence...no loss in quality whatsoever.

When I play one of my clips on imovie it shows up black even though I can see the whole clip on my menu of movies when I'm not playing it.

When I play one of my clips on imovie it shows up black even though I can see the whole clip on my menu of movies when I'm not playing it. Does that make sense and can someone help me with this problem?

Long standing problem, much discussion on the forums. Typically it has to do with incompatibility of Microsoft Exchange email client. See the links on "More Like this" at right.
Two solutions:
One is to zip compress the file and send the attachment that way.
Another is the freebie program "Attachment Tamer" - see

Check your network for interference (www.istumbler.net, check router manual in regards to changing channels) and other activities possibly running in the background.

Jerky Movie

Hi. I am stringing together some movie clips taken with a Canon Powershot S3 IS. Viewed on the computer with QT, the clips run smoothly. After processing through iMovie, the motion is jerky. The clips from the camera are 30 fps and I processed them initially as PAL. I thought that the jerky motion could be from the loss of frames down to 25 fps. I then changed the settings in iMovie and iDVD to NTSC and reprocessed the clips. This improved the motion but not completely. Anyone have any idea's?

Hi. The movie clips are from a Canon Powershot S3 IS and transferred via a card reader using USB2. They are 640* 480 pixels at 30fps. Played back through QT they are OK. The HDis 40g internal. David.

Wrong pictures, no-shows, after editing... when running a preview or in full movie mode, iMOVIE does not show exactly the content as was provided in the project field. All files works great in iPHOTO.

Version: iMOVIE 11, 9.0.4
No new updates, 7 sept 2011.
Something is wrong with the project that I am working on.
When I add new pictures and movies, some of them will not be played in the preview or fullmode at all. Some pictures are wrongly understood by iMOVIE or there are some kind of weird errors or bugs in the program. I dont really know what the problem can be. All of the pictures and movies are imported from 2 cameras, Kodak and Canon, and they all work great in iPHOTO.
I also use tranistions, text, etc, to make the movie look good.
Here are some examples of the error, all of these picture where taken while running the preview movie. You can see the moment in the movie process by following the red line in the project field window.
1) Here you can see that it shows the wrong picture in the preview compared to the project field.
2) Here it shows the wrong picture and it also displays the wrong picture in an undesired strecthed mode.
3) Here are 2 examples of one picture that blocks the other pictures from beeing seen in the video.
What could be causing these stupid errors and bugz? Until this is solved I have stopped workoing on my movies and project, awaiting a fast fix.
Thank you!

Try this step:
Go to one of the problem points (or even all of the them in the Project Browser) and select it. Under the File Menu>Optimize>Large (960x540). See if will process the clips, still images and try playing it back again.
If Optimize>Large is grayed out, try pulling the clip out of the Project Browser, close iMovie. Open it up again and putting that clip back in its place. Then try to Preview it again and see if playsback properly.
Last thing to try is go to File Menu>Duplicate Project, quit iMovie. Open iMovie, go to the Duplicate Project and see if you get a working Preview from the Project Timeline.
