Single fram render madness

Hello budding motioners...I thought I would see just how far I could push motion 3d, I have done some great work and really dont want to compromise on the render quality. However I am killing my power mac. The best approch to not crashing I thought would be to use image sequinces, so if a crash occurs I could start again form where it left off. However! when I set the time line to the next section rather than rendering a sequince it just goes ahead and renders a single frame, looks smug and says job done. What gives?
Anyone seen anything like this before
(I also have image corruption when things got a bit hairy when trying to do HD renders, so I have had to go back to SD ).

No, you are doing it correctly. It is just going to take a while to encode. You do realize that putting 3 hrs on a single layer DVD is a bit much. It is going to be so compressed that the quality is going to suffer, and suffer is an understatement. It's gonna be ugly. You need to think about either a dual layer DVD or splitting your movie into two chunks.

AE only doing single frame render

Hi, I have been using After Effects extensively for about a year now with no problems. I currently have two separate projects I am working on simutaneously. When I tried to prerender the AE files from one of my projects last night, nothing appeared to happen for a long while, then it eventually rendered a single-frame .avi video file. I shut down the computer for the night and tried again today, still doing the same thing.
I tried rendering AE files from the other project, and it works fine. Could this be a setting? I don't recall doing anything different that would cause such a strange setting, it seems to have just started in the middle of a project. Please help.
Oh, and yes, I do have the entire time-line selected.

> Oh, and yes, I do have the entire time-line selected.<
Selected where?
You may have chosen a single frame render setting. Your output module or render may e set to work area nad you have somehow set a beginning and ending that spas only one frame.

Render Queue keeps exporting 1 single frame

I have been trying to be a big boy and exporting image sequences as my master sequence, but i have been having this issue lately with targa sequences. I press render, the program hangs (i get a beach ball) and then, TWINK, the render ends rendering one frame: the first frame. The workbar is set for the entire comp. I thought it might be something with time machine, so i excluded Adobe products from being scanned by it. Sometimes rebooting the program helps. I have tried other image sequence files types, and this happens to them as well. I export as a H264m and it works. I wonder what i am doing wrong.

i must have some setting wrong.
Yes, that setting is called Mac. Cheap Apple bashing aside, consider the facts: If different output formats yield the same behavior, then it cannot be that, can it? So the fault is with the source footage or indeed some setting or even an effect. In turn therefore the only logical conclusion is: When rendering to H.264 it only works, because the program is smartly automatically turning off MP usage, effectively making this a single core render. I doubt you are using odd resolutions, as then H.264 wouldn't work. So that leaves the source footage. Pretty much the only times I have heard of this behavior is with CameraRAW and RED files, but it may also affect other formats. this may eitehr be excessive memory consumption in one of the loaders, or, which happens with MP, the program needing to duplicate and copy temporary source files for each render instance and that not working for some reason, possibly simply disk space shortage.... The power of logical deducation.... BTW, similar behavior may apply, if specific audio formats are involved. Whatever it is, do check this stuff. I'm sure it's easy to fix by using otehr formats or running pre-conversions on the footage.

Premiere Pro CC won't render single frame cuts.

I'm cutting a corporate video with a glitchy treatment, so there are tons of shots that are only held for a single (or two) frames. When I want to render, the render sometimes only goes up to the single frame cut and then stops. No error messages. It doesn't crash (If I press cancel, it immediately puts me back into editing mode, with everything up to the single frame rendered). It just stops rendering.
What gives? Help! D:
Pieter

OK.
Let's see a bit of the sequence where the issue lies.

When I put in a scroll in fcx, I get a single frame of the scroll flashing on the screen about a second or two before the scroll appears. There is nothing on the timeline and this only appears after I have made the quicktime or dvd. Any thoughts?

Lots of weird Single-Frame offset errors lately

Hi Everyone,
    I have been fighting some mighty germlins of late. At first, I though the issue was isolated, but it appears to be spreading - or at least not as isolated as I first thought.
    The problems began when I was asked to employ the use of the CC Twister plugin on a project for use as a text transition. When I initially set it up, it worked great, but I found I needed to adjust the timing. When I dragged a keyframe to facilitate this, I found that the text would either not resolve where it should, instead animating up to the upper left corner (0,0) or if it didn't resolve there, it would simply pop up there for a single frame at some point during the transition. I found that changing ANYTHING would cause this... even if I kept the timing alone and disabled the layer's track matte; and I didn't have to undo, I could just put the property back like it was and it would work again. Obviously, I tried deleting the effect, and applying it anew - same results...   I then tried cleaning all the cache files, applying the effect anew once more, and again... same results. There was no rhyme or reason to it... nothing that appeared to be driving the issue. In fact, at one point I could RAM preview the comp, and it looked correct, but the problem would pop up again when rendering... despite changing nothing in the comp. So, I simply had to presume that this effect had a bug of some sort, rendering it useless pending an update.
     So then, last night, I had a similar issue during rendering with Trapcode Form. Whenever I would do quarter or half res previews, things were working as expected... then I'd do a full res export and some of the forms would jump wildly from one frame to the next... always for just one frame, but often several scattered individual frames would be effected. When I'd go back into the comp after the render, the errors were 'baked in' as though they has always been there... though they most definitely had not. In this case, the issue started when I enabled multi-processing (it was never on in the first example with CC Twister above). It occured to me that in THAT case, since one core might be rendering a frame two or three frames ahead of another core, and said core therefore perhaps didn't have the necessary data from the preceeding frame, the position would be incorrectly calulated. A similar phenomenon occurs in C4D with certain generators when rendering out of sequence, necessitating baking of the solution.... Whether or not this is the case, the fact that the error actually affected the comp post render is really unsettling. After turning off Multi-Processing, I was able to to export a clean full-res render without any issue. So, I thought it odd that I was having similar issues with entirely different circumstances at play, but again had to assume these were isolated and that THIS issue was simply a matter of the notoriously unstable AE multi-processing rearing once more its not ready for prime time head.
     That brings me to today. I was asked by my client to give a little subtle movement to the text layers in my scene. I wanted to try a couple of things... a subtle wiggle on the text layer itself, or using the similar function from the plugin Sure Target, in case they wanted the movement to be on more elements than just the text, I could easily add new elements to the movement by making them 3D layers. So I made 2 new comps to test, find the right settings, and decide if there was a technique I preferred. On the text layer itself, I was able to apply the wiggle with some experession controls, no problems at all. In my second comp, when I employed the use of Sure Target (which itself uses thw Wiggle Experssion with controls), I found that my text would, at some random frame, suddenly pop over to X-0, and nothing I could would prevent it.
    So there it is... 3 different situations in the last few days... different variables at play in each one, but a similar issue. The only commonality here is that all 3 issues involved 3rd party plugins, though all from different companies (Cycore, Red Giant, and Video Copilot), so maybe there is something to that... but there has to be more to it.
    My next step is to try and replicate these issues at home, just to rule out the very unlikely possibility that this machine is the culprit.
    Appogies for the length of this post - I know that will prevent some of you from reading it, but for those who do and can perhaps offer some theories or insights, I truly appreciate it.

FWIW the system I am using is a 2013 iMac 3.4GHz i7 with 16GB of RAM running OSX 10.8.4 and the latest version of Creative Cloud.

Hi Guys,
   Thanks for the repsonses. Todd, my versions for everything are as follows:
After Effects 12.0.0.404
FORM 2.0.5
Cycore Effects HD 1.7.5
CC Twister 1.6
   There are no updates available for AE, the version we have of FORM is actually higher than what they have on their update pafe (they list 2.0.4), and the Cycore stuff is integtrated now, so I would expect any updates along those lines to be delivered via CC desktop.
   So, whatever is causing the issue(s), I don't think versions are behind it. Even though the cache bugs that Mylenium referenced have been tended too, perhaps not all the bugs have been squashed. When I'm back in that project, I will try disabling the cache and fast previews to see if it makes a difference.

Single Frame Displays on External Monitor

I have been searching online for the past three hours, trying to find a solution to this. I have found threads describing similar problems, however, I have done everything suggested in those threads, and nothing seems to work. I am at my wit's end.
The problem: When I attempt to play my sequence in my timeline, while connected to an external monitor, then audio plays, but only a single frame shows on the monitor. It updates to the most current frame whenever playback stops, but it only shows a static image. Meanwhile, the canvas window in Final Cut Pro displays nothing.
Things I Have Tried:
I have selected "All Frames" under View > External Video.
I have Refreshed A/V Devices.
I have made certain that the Canvas display size is small. Currently, it is at 50%, and I have also tried setting it to Fit To Window.
I have gone to Easy Setup, and selected NTSC, DV-NTSC.
I have checked "Mirror On Desktop" under Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices > Playback Devices.
I have also tried unchecking "Mirror on Desktop."
I have set Video Playback to Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480).
I have set the Sequence Preset to DV NTSC 48 Khz.
I have set the Device Control Preset to Firewire NTSC.
I have exited Final Cut Pro, made sure the deck was on first, then turned on Final Cut Pro.
I have restarted the computer.
Further Notes: I've noticed that the problem might have something to do with how sequences are displayed. If I double-click on one of my video files in the Final Cut Browser, and open it in the Viewer window, it plays fine, even displays fine in the external monitor (my deck). Furthermore, if I open different Final Cut Projects that worked fine previously, they now have the same issue. So I would assume it is not a problem with the sequence in this current project I am working on.
Any help you could give would be appreciated more than I can express.

Have you set the sequence you're trying to play to DV-NTSC? It sounds to me like you're trying to play a sequence that is not a stock DV sequence through a DV device.
Try creating a new DV-NTSC sequence, copying all the clips from your current sequence, and pasting them into the new sequence.

Premiere Pro CC inserting single frame into exported files

I have never had this issue before today.
A project I have been compiling off and on for several months was exported using AME via PPCC.
In previous exports this issue did not come up at all.
Here is the problem:
The rendered videos (using Apple ProRes 422 HQ, QT H.264, and MPEG2 DVD) have a single frame insert between two stills in a montage.
The previous render it appeared on a different photo a few seconds later in the program, like this:
Again, these are single frame artifacts not found in the timeline in PPCC. They only appear as "flash frames" in the exported video.
Anybody else seeing this? Is there a solution?
Thanks

Format for single frame numbered graphic sequences?

Hi, I'm working on a HDV 1080p25 project.
The footage has been shot on a Canon EOS 7, and looks perfect.
The client has also hired an animator to produce some sequences for editing in.
The animator is using 3DMax.
He's supplied a test set of numbered single frame jpg files, 1440 * 1080 (1:33 ratio) Progressive (no fields)
But once rendered on the timeline, pans in the animation look jerky.
What should I be asking him to render to best fit in the sequence?
Or should I put his files in a different sequence setting, and render them to something useful myself?
Unfortunately I think his system is very old (he says the files work perfectly for him in Premiere1.5) so I'm not sure what options will be available.
All help appreciated.
Thanks, Linda

Jim, thank you for taking an interest. Yes, it's quite possible that I'm being far too fussy, and that what I've got is acceptable.
I've uploaded a couple of test files to yousendit: perhaps you won't mind taking the time to look:
I got two sets of test files from the animator: one rendered "progressive", the other "lower fields"
I put both sequences on a HDV 1080p25 timeline, and rendered out to high quality mp4.
Here are the results:
1080p25_P.mp4
https://www.yousendit.com/download/dklyaXROR0Z6NEkwTVE9PQ
1080p25_LOWER.mp4
https://www.yousendit.com/download/dklyaXRIcVhLVlh2Wmc9PQ
I've watched both files so many times I can't tell the difference any more. I presume the progressive one should be right. But confirmation would be good.
If it would help, I could also upload the test images I have.
Thanks, Linda

VIDEO OUT OF SINGLE FRAMES ?

I use Premiere Pro CS5 to get video out of my 3d renderings. But I have a bad problem:
I can import numbered picture files to get a clip - which works fine. The single frames have been rendered already 1920x1080 for full HD video.
The problem is - I can´t get a playback within the preview or working window. While the cursor runs smoothly through the frames within the sequence window, the preview window jumps and shows some random frames only.
If I import the exported file back, it will playback smoothly without problem, this way my machine should be capable to do it as it is same resolution, only video instead of single frames.
Anything I can do to get smooth playback of image sequences ?
It doesn´t make much sense to export video first before being able to add sound as I don´t have any control for syncing while the clip is a numbered frame import only.

Thanks a lot for that hint - this way I should consider to get another HD - though there is plenty of capacity on my 1 TB build in.
I don´t do much video editing yet - don`t even have a camcorder, just trying to do some 3D rendering videos. As these use to have few seconds only I never considered to get additional hd space for that.
Just made another observation - I did a 8 second test rendering overnight at 800 x 450 - this plays fine after being imported. It´s just the native HD rendered 1920 x 1080 that cause that trouble...

AE 2014: Effect Remains on Single Frame

Hey folks -
Summary: I've tried to remove an effect from a clip, but it seems to remain in one, single frame on that clip.
I've literally just started using AE on my new Mac Pro yesterday. "Neophyte" doesn't begin to describe me. :-) I have a chunk of a Pr timeline, consisting of 3 separate video clips opened in AE. The goal: add the "CC Scatter" effect to each of the 3 clips, to make them scatter into, and then out of existence. Someone suggested that I extend the effect on the third clip, so I went through and deleted all of the keyframes in that clip after the CC Scatter was reduced to 0.0. However, the effect remains on one frame. I've included a screen grab from AE, and highlighted the effect control showing that AE even thinks it should be 0.0. But the video is displaying partially scattered for some reason. You'll note an extra keyframe at the end of the clip; I put that there as an experiment, with the value set to 0.0, hoping it would force AE to remove the effect from that one frame. It didn't work.
My guess is that something's cached and needs to be nuked. If I save it and re-render it in Pr, that same scatter shows up in the exact frame. Is there something I can nuke or clear or some such to make that go away?

Single Frame jumping towards end of output .mov

I have two sequences output from motion. One 10 seconds and the other 17. At the end of each clip there is a single frame that "jumps" up about 1/8 of the screen.
Any ideas as to why?

Are these the same clips you're writing about in Color? If so, it's most likely a media issue since it is unlikely that rendered or exported footage will exhibit a physical artifact from multiple applications unless the media itself is at fault. Is it the last frame or just a frame toward the end? What have you tried to isolate the issue? If you make the sequence longer does thhe jump still occur at the last frame?
There are only three possible answers: the media is damaged, you've somehow programmed a move, or an inexplicable glitch. The last is highly unlikely and it will move each time you render. If the jumps happen at exactly the same frame each time, it's most likely the source media.
Would also help tremendously to know what codec you're using and what your source codec is.

Random Single Frame Jump On Burned DVD From Encore??

Problem with a single frame, split second jump on some DVDs output from Encore. The jump is a single frame from a previous part of the timeline. It is hardly noticeable, but annoying. Plus, it doesn't happen with every disc because I retranscoded the same footage using both automatic and manually chosen presets. Sometimes I get a perfectly fine disc. It seems like this problem is random, hit or miss with the transcoding. Has anyone had this? Suggestions? Thanks.

Converting a single frame swf to a gif

I have a couple of really cool animated 'shockwave flash
movie windows projector' images that i would love to convert into
animated gif's so that I can edit them to work in a theme I'm
designing for my sony ericsson w580i. I was finally able to convert
the exe files into swf's... but that didn't really do me any
good... same issue. Also upon further scrutiny I discovered that
both animated file types have only 1 frame! What should I do?!
Please help!!

I've experienced the same thing sometime long in the past,
and I probably did a frame by frame Print Screen to get around it.
If it's single frame swf, then that's probably all you're going to
get is one frame as an output.
You may be able to incorporate a jpeg encoder of some sort to
take snapshots as the piece animates in some form of loop fashion,
but I'm not savvy in that dept.

How to use single frame in a page

Hello, i would like to now how to make a frame in a page
without having two or more, i was used to work with GoLive and
there i could use the grid an put a single frame and make links to
other pages that would open in that frame, it worked wel for me,
but since I switched from golive to dreamweaver CS3 i am not able
to do so. Is there some one how could tel me how to do so, since i
use a lot of single frames in my pages,
greetings

why are you wanting to use single frames?
They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
address bar, and not
show the linked page's address. The problems they cause
usually override any
value.
Or- if we aren't using the same words the same way, please
give an example
site of what you want to do.
