Setting the duration of imported .png files

I have just upgraded from IMovie to FCP
I am making a movie of hundreds of sequenced .png (or.jpg) images produced by an scientific application
I want each image to have a duration in the movie of .1 secs.
Whatever I do, each image is impoorted with a duration of 10 secs. In iMovie, I could easily change this to all the images in one go.
I can find no way to deo thois in FCP
Any helpwould be greatly appreciated

Stupid of me
Thanks

Without knowing anything about your system, your image file, your working document and so on nobody can even begin to guess. The file could be damaged, there could be color management issues at play and what have you...

How do you set the duration of images before importing into a timeline

Is there a way to do a batch import of images where once I place them into a video group I can set the duration of each image automatically by detereming the overall timelime lenght as opposed to manually setting the duration of each image?

I"m not sure you can do this with a video timeline. If you create a frame animation sequence, you can select all the frames and set the duration, then convert it to a video timeline. Not the best answer, but I think it will work.

How to set the duration of each pic in a slideshow (and also how to pan and zoom)

I have about 30 pictures I would like to add to a slide show.
When I add them the duration for each picture is set to 6 seconds.
I would like this changed to 4 seconds.
But manually changing the duration of each individual picture, one by one, is a slow and tedious task.
Is there a way of changing the duration of all my pictures at the same time, from 6 seconds to 4 seconds ?
Or can I change a setting so that when I insert my pictures the duration is set to 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds ?
As for the pan and zoom, I have seen the pan and zoom effect but this has a black border around the pictures as they zoom in and out.
For example, when zooming in the picture starts small with a black border all round the edge.
When zooming out the picture ends small with a black border all round the edge.
Is there a way to pan and zoom starting with a full screen when zooming in, and ending with a full screen when zooming out ?
Thereby not showing any ugly black borders.
My Nokia N73 phone can do it !
You can view the pictures as a slide show and when it pans and zooms it looks so much better because it does not show any black borders.
The picture ALWAYS fills the screen even though it is panning and zooming.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)
You can also set the duration of each slide by selecting all of the stills you want to include on in your slideshow, right-clicking and selecting the Create Slideshow option.

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
REALLY??!!

...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music. Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo. Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes. They use rubato. They change tempo. They change time signatures. As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats. It's not a situation where you can say, "There! I've found the duration of one beat! Now it's easy to find the rest of them!"
If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out. You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible? It depends on how high your speakers are turned up. You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume. You might say, "Hey! The music ends before the layer ends!"... but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures. Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works. For true accuracy, you need find the timings yourself.
If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

I set the duration of a clip and iMovie sets it to something else. So I try to set all stills to same length and iMovie sets them all to a different interval. Now I have a movie much longer than intended. ?!?!

Well, the title of the question pretty much says it all.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)

Design in flash or import png files

Hi,
I'm having someone help with the design of my site.
He wants to give me png files for the graphics.
Won't that increase the file size?
Would it be better if he designed the graphics in flash
instead of importing png files?
Just wondering which way is recommended.
Thanks.

depends on the design, the images, style, file size concerns
- yes you are right, file size will
usually increase with imported bitmaps - and if they contain
alpha, then processor/performance
issues may arise.
Also consider that flash does not handle bitmaps very well
unless they yare at 100% with no rotation
- so hopefully you won't need to scale or rotate them.
If the graphics can be made with vectors, then i recommend
it.

Import PNG files

It would be nice if I could import PNG files.
Currently I work around by converting the PNG to TIF, so it's servicable given that I don't do this frequently.
This isn't high on my priority list. Nothing I would call my "workflow" include PNGs. When I want to import a PNG it's most often becuase I or somebody else had some JPG "snapshots" and when editing saved them as a PNG instead of recompressing as a new JPG.

A number of us 'Regulars' here, have asked for the impor of PNGs. Especially since they are used by LR for such things as End Panel Markers and ID Plates. I feel this will come, but as you say, it is low priority.

Importing PNG files into CS4

I import PNG files into the library. CS4 automatically creates a symbol and gives it a generic name (e.g. Symbol 670) when the PNG file name is menu_001.png. Is their any way for Flash to keep the name as the original png file as the symbol is automatically created?

It IS a Sony NX5U camera! Way to be a mind reader.
Obviously the video has already been shot. How would you suggest converting the audio to .wav... seperate the two in Pro, cut out the video, export that way, and then import it back in?
Thanks so much for the help!!

Take screenshot and saves the image to a PNG file

Hello,
How can I take screenshot and save the image to a PNG file?
thanks,
Avivit.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

this is a quite reproducible problem. Some more clarification on my part might help:
I have a loop that contains, among other this, (1) a sub-VI that prints-screen and saves as a png and (2) a sub-VI that emails me the png file as an attachment. The 1st sub-VI simply uses the user32.dll to simulate a print-screen key stroke, calls clipbpard get image, and then formats and saves the image to a png file using the built-in VI write-to-png. This loop should update this same png file, because the path does not change. However, I've noticed that while the loop is running the png file does not update. It simply keeps sending the 1st image it took. The image updates if the VI stops and is run again. I assumed the problem was either with the clipboard not updating or the file not writing.
I think the png file remains open while the main VI (i.e. this loop) runs because I cannot delete the file while the VI is running, only once it stops or is quit. Windows gives me an error that the file is currently in use by labview. Therefore, I think the file is not updated because it remains open.
I've attached the print screen VI. Feel free to stick it in a loop and give it a try if you don't spot something obviously wrong. I did not include the main-VI that I actually use since it contains a lot of instrument I/O, which would prevent someone testing the VI.

How should i set the baseURI when a db file path with a space

if the db file in a path like c:\program file\myapplication,then i set the baseURI dbxml:c:\program file\myapplication ,some exception occur~what should i do ?
thanks a lot

The Base URI needs to be a valid URI, which means it cannot include the Windows '\' character at all. In your case, you should be fine using something along the lines of "file:////C:/program file/myapplication"
(give or take a '/' or two -- I haven't tested this).
It's a common for BDB XML users to confuse the argument to create/openContainer() (a filesystem path) with the Base URI (a URI). The meanings and requirements are different. The best thing to do is to set and use a container alias (XmlContainer::addAlias()) to use in your queries.

Can you set the Duration of a Transition to instant? Or Remove a previous?

Can you set the duration of a Transition to instant? (Rotate and Translate).
Or if not, remove a previous transition done? (Reset the transitioned object back to its original). Ihave tried setting Duration.millus(.000001), but I can still see it translate/rotate. if I set it to zero, it doesn't do anything at all.
Goal:
I have a Connect4 type grid that Flips. It rotates upside down 180degrees, the pieces 'fall' down. Then I ACTUALLY flip the game board (not just effects) using a matrix calculation. But since my grid is upside down, my pieces appear upside down.
So here is the method I was thinking:
-Flip the board upside down
-Translate the pieces down (gravity)
-Actually flip the game board's internals and positions.
-Undo the previous rotate/translate so the user thinks the 'animation' actually flipped the board.

You cannot create an instant Transition. An Animation with a duration of 0ms is considered invalid and does not do anything when play() is called.
Why do you have to use Transitions to set the values? They just modify Node properties over time, if you want to change the properties instantly, you can just access them directly. TranslateTransition modifies translateX, translateY, and translateZ, RotateTransition modifies rotate and rotationAxis.

How do I find the tempo of imported audio files?

I import music tracks from iTunes to record voice/guitar and want to be accurate in the tempo..
Diego

GarageBand does not show you the tempo of imported sound files. You have to count it out yourself. If you do not have a utility that will help you count, like Transscribe or Melodyne, cut a section of 8 (or 16) measures out of your recording and then change the tempo of your project, until this section fits exactly 8 or 16 measures in the timeline. This will give you rough idea of the average tempo, but usually your imported audio will have tempo changes, so I'd recommend to fine-tune the tempo locally using the tempo automation curve of the "Master" track.
