Scrubbing half or quarter frames within a clip?

Hey Everyone,
I'm trying to synch some audio tracks to video and want to make sure that I get it perfect. I recall there being a way to set points in between frames to get super specific, but can't remember how to do it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thank You!

The key point to recognize is sub frame audio editing ONLY works within the Audio tabs in the Viewer. You can't do it in the audio tracks on a Timeline. The Capt'n's video does a good job explaining it.
Here's a tip - Once you have loaded your clip into the Viewer, if you find the Viewer image too small, either drag the Stereo (or Mono) Tab in the Viewer free of its normal position then click on the expand to full screen button on the top of that window to stretch it out (I put it on my second monitor) or, drag the Stereo (or Mono) tab from the Viewer and dock it in the Sequence Window.
Either one will give you a much larger view. When you close the audio window, it re-docks back to the main Viewer window.

  • Frame reference within a clip within a clip

    this seems to be an almost universally puzzling question as I've not gotten any responses from any of the forums that I've posted on...
    Is it possible for me to have 1 movieclip consisting of multiple movie clips, in a .fla file, and reference specific frames of clips within a frame of the movie clip, from an outside .as file?
    In a .fla file I have a movie clip that consists of several frames, each containing a different movie clip to perform different actions of a character I am attempting to animate.  The basics of the code work fine, but now I'm trying to get into more detailed aspects of the characters actions and interactions and all the tutorials that I've come across thus far direct me to add various aspects of code throughout my animation which I feel would litter my program as this project grows.  My basic code is as follows
    class hero extends MovieClip
        variable definitions up here
        function onLoad()
            variable initializations here
        function onEnterFrame()
            if( Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT) )
                _xscale = 200;
                if( Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) )
                    gotoAndStop("run");
                    _x = _x + run_speed;
                } else {
                    gotoAndStop("walk");
                    _x = _x + walk_speed;
    // more of that for the other carnal directions of the character's movement...
            } else if ( !Key.isDown() ){
                gotoAndStop("stand");
    This works fine.  Beyond this, I have a frame with the anchor lable "Punch" which contains a movie clip consisting of 5 frames.  Is it possible for me to reference specific frames within the movie clip within this frame of the big movie clip?

    you reference nested clips using dot notation BUT the parent clip must be on a frame where the child exists.  for example, if the _currentframe of parentMC contains childMC,   you could reference the frame number of childMC that's a child of parentMC using:
    trace(parentMC.childMC._currentframe);
    if childMC only exists on frame 2 of parentMC and parentMC is on its first frame, then you would need:
    parentMC.gotoAndStop(2);
    trace(parentMC.childMC._currentframe);

  • Changing frames within a symbol

    Can anyone tell me how to change frames within a symbol, by using a button in the actuall stage. Every time I try searching for it, I get lost in half compleated answers, action script 2, and things that throw a ton of code and words and stuff at me, but never explain the parts of it. (Often also has losts of additional code that I probally don't need)
    I've got the button, but I need the function.

    I can see from your other posts you are familiar with coding a button, so... In your button event handler function you would use something like...
    symbolName.gotoAndStop(someFrame);
    where symbolName is whatever instance name you assign to the movieclip symbol and someFrame is either a number or a label for the frame you want to change to.

  • Cropping the physical frame of the clip?

    Hey. So, I recently got iMovie 08, only to realise that it didn't have half the features of HD 6. So I swapped the software (having to edit everything again, grr).
    Thing is, now I discover that 08 has a feature that I can't find anywhere on HD 6, and really need: cropping the frame of the clip so that only part can be seen. I can do it on photos, but can't find a way to do it in movie clips. And when I type in "crop" into help, the only crop I find is the cutting-of-clips type.
    Is there a way? Please say yes, I really don't know what I'm going to do otherwise.

    Hi HKJ - welcome to the forum!
    Have a look here:

    These are plug-ins for iMovie. iMovie does not have this feature built in. I think you can also crop in QuickTime Pro, but have never done this myself.

  • Insert an image within a clip

  • How do I pick the, er, title frame of a clip uploaded to .Mac/MobileMe?

    Sorry for the vague topic title, but I'm not sure what the correct term is. Maybe this picture will explain the problem:
    !http://idisk.mac.com/charlie.whitfield/Public/Pictures/Skitch/iWeb-20080718-231 737.jpg!
    This was created in iWeb by adding a link to a clip created in iMovie '08 which was published to .Mac/MobileMe. I added it to an iWeb page using:
    Insert / .Mac Web Gallery / clipname
    It doesn't look good, does it? It plays fine, but the half-baked title frame (somebody tell me what the correct term is!) seems to have been chosen arbitrarily and I can't figure out how to change/fix it.
    So my question is: at what point is the frame that ends up represeting the published clip chosen? How do I manually select a frame that would better represent the clip in question?

    So my question is: at what point is the frame that ends up represeting the published clip chosen?
    Most applications default to frame based on a fixed amount of time from the beginning of the file (e.g., iTunes). Since iWeb has a "Poster Frame" slider selection tool, it appears to default to either the first frame in the clip or a "pre-defined" poster frame already formally set. Unfortunately, the built-in slider does not appear to work (or at least I've never been able to get it to work on my system).
    How do I manually select a frame that would better represent the clip in question?
    I personally use QT Pro to do this. Basically, you simply slide the playhead to the approximate frame you desire and then use the Left and right arrows to locate the exact frame you wish and select the "Set Poster Frame" View menu option. For those who don't have QT Pro, there are alternatives. My favorite in that case would be to import the file into iTunes where you can locate the frame you wish to make the "poster frame" in the same way described for QT Pro. To set the frame in iTunes, however, you simple "Command-Click" the iTunes preview window to activate the "contextual" menu and select the "Set Poster Frame" option there. The file along with its designated poster frame can then be imported to iWeb for publishing to you web site/page.

  • Creating a frame within a iweb page

    I would like to create a frame within one of my iweb pages so that I can maintain the navigation menu while incorporating expose photo slide (or any other external page to be displayed within my page).
    Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this is possible using iweb and must edit the source code.
    Does anyone know if there are any templates out there I could just copy and past to get this done? i am simply looking to create a frame pretty much taking up the entire center of the existing page while leaving the navigation menu in tacked. Do appreciate the help!

  • How do I cut a single frame from a clip and use it as a photo in iPhoto

    I would love to cut a frame from a clip in an iMovie project I have and then use that cut as a photo in I photo. Can I do it and how.
    I'm under the gun and if you are insomniac and you want to answer right away, please go right ahead.  thank you

    You can install an App called MPEG Streamclip or you can simply pull up the clip in full screen and take a screen shot using (command+shift+3) or using (command+shift+4) to click and drag to create a box around what you would like to take a snap shot of.

  • How can I hold a frame of a clip?

    I want to hold the first frame of a clip, then play the clip, then hold the last frame. Seems like there's some time remapping tools somewhere but I can't figure this out.
    I can't just take a screen shot and set that as the still because this is one window in the video and there's other stuff going on.
    Basically there are going to be four windows each with a video track. One will play, then freeze and the next will begin.
    Any thoughts on how to do this? I don't want to have to go into After Effects if I can help it.
    Thanks!

    To get a still of a clip in the timeline, go to the frame you want to freeze, select 'f' to match frame back to that clip and frame in the Viewer, select Sift+N' to create a Freeze of that frame, insert that into the Sequence.
    ... same for freeze at end.
    You said there's four windows - you mean on one screen? ... then I'd create 4 sequences, possibly of the same duration each; one each for the 4 frames you want. They would each start with a freeze, roll on, then freeze at the end. Make these SEQs longer than you need.
    One at a time, put them into the Viewer (don't double-click them) and edit them onto 4 tracks of master SEQs.
    Apply sizing and motion to each of those. Control-click the clips in the timeline and select 'Open In Viewer' to see their motion tabs.
    This method helps separate the roll off/to a freeze from the editing & motion (resizing/zooming etc.)
    Hope that helps.

  • After PreRend. - Last frame of a clip is copied into the first 2 frames o. t. following clip

    Hey Guys - Michi here,
    and I am dealing with a horrible problem!
    I just got rid of Premiere CS6 (Where I was dealing with the same problem) and got the new Version of Premiere. I really love it!
    Heres the Problem I am dealing with:
    Everytime i've finished a sequence i go to:
    Sequence -> Render Section.  
    Then the Rendering Window pops up and PR CC does his job.
    But when replaying the prerenderes section i noticed something.
    I zoomed that much into timeline so i was able to see every frame of the clip - because the play back seemed kind of OffBeat to me. And the thing that happend to every clip that was directly laying beside another clip - so there was no space between them - was, that after the PreRendering Premiere CC (and CS6 DID THE SAME) copied the last frame of the clip into the frist two frames of the following clip - so the are reeeeally tiny "still" pictures between every transitions. -> And that means, that the clip that is shown in the "Program Window" - Monitor in which you can preview the PreRenderes Video - doesn't change to the beat I've edited it on, BUT it changes 2 frames later!!
    Here are some screenshots:

    http://up.picr.de/16781445al.jpg       Pic 5
    In Pic. 1 you can see, that the Marker (the red thin bar) in the Timeline is laying on the last frame of the clip on the left - the clip is called GoPro2130.MP4 (120%).
    If i move the marker now over the the first frame of the clip called GoPro2130 (114.99%) the preview should change - but there is still the frame that was shown in the preview window at Pic.1
    Now i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic. 3) - The same frame that is shown in Pic. 1 & 2 is still on the preview window.
    NOW i moved the marker over for another frame (Pic 4 - 3rd frame of the new clip) AND NOW the clip finally changes although the clip should have changed 3 frames before..
    ITS HORRIBLE!! I really dont know what to do..
    Sorry for the huge text and the bad english (Student from Germany).
    You guys are my last hope.
    Regards, Michi.

    Thanks for your suggestion about using the clip markers.   I tried them on a test clip.   They did not come down to the timeline.  Besides, I would want them labeled.   Right now all my clips have a marker that is labeled with the date and location.   The chapter markers are labeled the same way.   I have a spread sheet that list the dates of all the Chapter Markers which connect to the dates on the menu.     This seems like an old fashion way to do things for such a sophisticated software.   Maybe I should put in a feature suggestion to Adobe.   I would do that, but I am afraid that I may embarrass myself as being the only one that ever asked for something like that.   Or they would accuse me of misusing their software.  
    Again, thanks for your suggestion.

  • How do I see every frame of a clip on the timeline in Premier ?

    There are of course times when I need to see every frame of a clip to synchronize two clips. Imagine for example that you have a two camera shoot and both cameras were looking at a clapstick, or at a strobe. I want to put both clips on the timeline and zoom in to see every frame. Now I can align the two clips fo that one specific frame of each clip is over/under each other. However, when I have zoomed into the timeline it seems I can never zoom quite enough to see every frame What do I do to be able to zoome all the way in to the timeline so I can see every frame of the clips ? I haven't actually tried this yet with CC, but did with CS6 and it wouldn't do it.

    I'm not knocking the idea of using the program monitor to place markers on sync points and using that to synchronize clips. It should be a very good solution.
    What I am saying is that there are times when it would be advantageous to be able to see every frame of multiple clips on the timeline. When i first tried to do that I zoomed in and it looked as if it would display all the frames. I was dissappointed to find it wouldn't. As an editor who has done a lot of resynchronizing multiple camera shoots where there is no intentional visual sync cue, i can tell you it can be a big help to be able to see the frames as if we had a strip of film on each timeline. Sometimes we need to see several frames of each clip at the same time to make a decision about which frame represents the sync point, or to make the quickest possible decision about where to start and end a dissolve, or to chose which camera to use. In a scene shot with only one camera, there is no actual sync point. The action may have progressed slightly differently between shots. Being able to see 10 or 15 frames from each shot can help to make the quickest decision about how to line up the shots and where to do the transition. Would anyone out there say it would be a bad thing if Premier Pro could display every frame when we zoom all the way in ? It seems to me that it could only help. So i request Adobe consider it as a possible future improvement.
    Here is an example, the last time i tried to see every frame in Premier. I had a scene I used Maya to create, series of Tiffs. This scene shows an object appearing as if arriving through a time or dimensional portal. The scene includes plasma popping and flashing. There are two different shots of the same moment in time. The shots are frame numbered. So if I could see the frame numbers from the original tiffs on the timeline I could align the shots that way. But of course I lose the frame numbers. The overall scene is too long, and rendering time too long, especially for 3-D 1080, to render each shot from the beginning of the scene, which would make synchronizing very easy. So i needed to sync to the flashing plasma in the scene. I though I had the shots lined up using a flash. It turned out they were not the same flash. So if i did a slow dissolve between shots, the flashes form each shot would not line up in time. What I needed to do is line up several flashes happening over a couple of seconds, so I coud verify the flashes were the same flashes. There are different numbers of frames between each flash, so if I got three to line up they would have to be the same flashes. I spent a lot of time trying to get these shots lined up. If I could zoom into the time line and see evry frame I could synchronize several clips by lining up the flashes, in just a couple of minutes. To do this with markers, marking say five flashes from each of four shots, it would take several minutes to do it before being ready to do the synchronizing. It's a workable solution, but is not ideal, a compromise.

  • What tool do i use to add or subtract frames to a clip?

    hi,
    I want to click on a clip and add (or subtract) frames to a clip.
    is it possible to add or subtract frames to one end of a clip as opposed both ends at the same time?
    i need to add or subtract one frame at a time literarily. Control clicking is not precise enough.
    what tool is this, or how do i do it?
    thanks,
    humbucker

    Double click your clip in the Timeline and it opens in the Viewer.
    You should see a double row of dots in the Viewer Scrubber Bar if it's opended correctly.
    Make sure the playhead is at the end on the clip or exactly on the out point if one is entered.
    Tap the back arrow key once to to move one frame backwards or however many frames required.
    Set the new out point.
    Note: A gap will appear in the Timeline that will need to be closed.

  • Button to load only a few frames within the timeline

    I am new to AS3 and was doing a little bit of research before diving in.
    I wish I could just create external swfs to load with each button, but the CMS system that I am uploading to won't allow it~
    so I HAVE to make the thing into one swf, but the file size is too large.
    Is it possible to make a button that loads only a few frames within the timelime? and the next button will load another few?
    this is what i found and it says i can't:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/791422/how-to-stop-flash-file-swf-from-loading-actionsc ript-3

    loading a swf file is an all or none issue.  once you start loading a swf, you can't stop it from proceeding to a complete load unless you unload the entire swf.

  • I can't change the volume of the sound over time within a clip.

    I want to adjust the level of the sound within a clip. I take my pen tool and just add 2 keyframes a few seconds apart from eachother. I adjust the height of the last keyframe, but when I playback NOTHING happends. This is so annoying because it has always worked. I use Premiere Pro 5.5.

    I'm having the same problem. The volume controls and volume keyframes suddenly stop working. I've been having it occur a lot, both on my 2011 iMac running Mavericks and my 2013 MacBook Pro Retina running Mountain Lion, two entirely different systems. It seems to start happening at random while editing projects, and I can't figure out how to make it stop.
    I attached a screenshot to show the audio meters displaying loud sound output, even though sole unmuted track has keyframes all the way down at "negative infinity" decibels.
    I have done the following things to troubleshoot:
    -restarted computer, restarted premiere
    -re-rendered the sequence
    -tried removing and reapplying volume keyframes
    -double check that the track volume is untouched, at 0db
    -double check that the master volume is untouched, at 0db
    -checked that the volume control bypass is not on
    -tried muting and unmuting the track
    -tried on a different operating system
    However, changing the audio gain (by ctrl-clicking on the audio track, and changing the entire gain of the clip), does still work.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Video tutorial on changing the colour within a clip on Pr CC
