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.

IDVD 08 audio/video sync drift toward end of DVD movie - fix/workaround?

Anyone know how I can fix this issue? It's driving me crazy.
I've just spent a few evenings in iMovie 08, editing together the video of my son's birth. All looked & amazingly good in iMovie. The "Large" .m4v file output by iMovie - Shared with the Media Browser - plays perfectly in Quicktime too.
However, after adding that shared movie to iDVD 08, and burning a DVD, I noticed that the audio sync drifts toward the end of the Movie when plated back. At the start of the DVD all seems well, but by the end of the ~1hr 20 minute movie the audio is unbearably out of sync with the video. Completely unwatchable.
After a little Googling I came across some reports that iDVD might not deal well with video that's been recorded with 12-bit audio. I've confirmed that my camcorder is (was!) set to 12-bit rather than 16-bit (the default, I'm sure). So if that's the problem I'm hosed... it's not like I can get a retake on that footage
Is there a reasonable workaround for this issue? I'm obviously unable to re-take the video (or the other 10 hours of DV video tape I've yet to use in an iMovie project). Ideally I'd like Apple to release a patch for this. Shouldn't it be possible for iDVD to account for audio that was originally recorded in 12-bit... even if it's just a checkbox you have to select to tip it off?
Then again, perhaps this is totally unrelated to the 12-bit issue, and this is just a run of the mill bug?
As I said... iMovie generates a MPEG4 video file of the Movie that looks/sounds perfect, so it seems this sync issue's being created somewhere in iDVD as it's rendering the audio/video to burn to the DVD...
Thanks in advance.

I've tried most of the options I can think of, and the audio sync drift issue continues on this ~1hr 12 minute iMovie/iDVD 08 project.
A couple of promising ideas tried used QT Pro, to export the audio track from the iMovie generated MPEG-4 file - as a WAV file, resampling to 48kHz and 16-bit... then Adding this back to the video track in the MPEG-4 file (having deleted the original audio track). In another test I also tried the Add to Selection and Scale option. Oddly enough I think the Add to Selection and Scale attempt generated more sync issues than before in the final DVD movie... so I stuck with the MPEG-4 file containing the video track and the added, resampled at 48kHz & 16 bit, WAV audio track.
This was saved as a self contained Movie file, producing a QT .mov file. I moved this .mov file into the iDVD projects directory structure so that it was avalable in iDVD's Media Browser. I then reworked the iDVD project to use this QT large.mov file, instead of the original iMovie large.m4v file.
As a reminder... the original large.m4v file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
The resampled and saved QT MOV file has the following properties:
29.97 FPS H.264 Decoder, 960 x 540, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
0:01:12:07.16 duration
BOTH versions of this Movie file play flawlessly within QT Pro... there's no audio sync drift evident toward the end of the movie unless I use iDVD 08 to burn either movie file to a Physical DVD (or DVD Disk Image). In both cases the resultant DVD Movie exhibits significant audio sync drift as the ~1hr 12 minute movie progresses. The sync goes out by ~ <= 1 second based on a rough visual assessment.
I've not yet tried to burn either the original iMovie produced MPEG-4 video file or my QT Pro tweaked audio track .MOV file version to a DVD on my PC...
... But I have used an application called Burn (referenced in this earlier/archived iDVD sync drift forum post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 by user F Shippey - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/) to take the QT Pro tweaked .mov file version of the original MPEG-4 file and burn it to a DVD...
Results:
The Burn app burnt DVD plays with NO audio sync issues!... Even though it was generated from the same audio tweaked (48kHz/16-bit resampled) QT Pro .mov file.
However, whenever I burn a DVD using iDVD 08 the audio sync gradually drifts. It matters not whether I use the original iMovie 08 generated MPEG-4 movie file, or the QT Pro version of that file with the resampled audio track (the same one that works fine with Burn).
It sure looks to me like iDVD has a problem... Again, refer to http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1332100 for someone else who seems to have run into similar challenges.
Am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance.

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.

.swf playback chppy at end of the movie

I have a player.swf which has play and a pause buttons. This
player loads external .swf movies. Each movie is about a minute
long and I cut them up into 3 to 5 movie clips. So, the movie's
main time line uses 3 to 5 frames, at the end of a movie clip I
tell it to go to the next frame in the main time line. The strange
part is on the the last frame of the main time or somewhere in the
last movie clip the animation freezes up, well sort of. It plays
really slow, almost like the pause was pressed for a minute then
the play button was click really quick then back to the minute long
pause. I'm having a really hard time finding the problem since the
majority of the time it plays fine. Please watch the movie and let
me know if it feezes up on the last part of each section. If
anybody know this problem or has any questions please let me know.

watch example

I barely noticed, but i do think I know what you're talking
about. The frame rate looks pretty low, like 12 fps. So if its what
I thought is was, the number zooming in at the end, I think it just
might be the ease in conjunction with fps that causes the stutter.
my 2 cents.

Loop movie on a single frame with AS2?

Hi, i'm animating a web banner, which is supposed to loop infinite times. The thing is, i learnt to use tweening prototype for my animation, so the entire code is written on a single frame.
Is there a way to loop the entire movie at the end?

Thanks! but I still need help.
Ok, let's say this is the code:
function iniciar (){
//INTRO//
_root.fondo._x=2632;
_root.fondo._y=223;
_root.fondo.tween("_x",-38,25,"easeOutCubic",0.5)
_root.bloqueintro._x=535
_root.bloqueintro._y=226
_root.bloqueintro.tween("_x",-600,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5)
_root.opt._x=468
_root.opt._y=-50
_root.opt.tween("_y",146,1.5,"easeOutCubic",1.5)
_root.opt.tween("_x",-270,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5)
_root.esp._x=530
_root.esp._y=198
_root.esp._yscale=0
_root.esp.tween("_yscale",100,1,"easeOutBounce",2.5)
_root.esp.tween("_x",-459,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5)
_root.de._x=621
_root.de._y=246
_root.de._yscale=0
_root.de.tween("_yscale",100,1,"easeOutBounce",2.5)
_root.de.tween("_x",-368,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5)
_root.trab._x=664
_root.trab._y=292
_root.trab._yscale=0
_root.trab.tween("_yscale",100,1,"easeOutBounce",2.5)
_root.trab.tween("_x",-325,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5)
//CONECTOR//
_root.conector._x=1659;
_root.conector._y = 244;
_root.conector.tween("_x",-800,1.5,"easeOutCubic",6.5);
_root.conector2._x=-800;
_root.conector2._y = 244;
_root.conector2.tween("_x",1924,1.5,"easeOutCubic",13);
_root.conector3._x=1924;
_root.conector3._y = 244;
_root.conector3.tween("_x",-800,1.5,"easeOutCubic",21);
_root.conector4._x=-800;
_root.conector4._y = 244;
_root.conector4.tween("_x",1924,1.5,"easeOutCubic",27);
iniciar();
So the whole animation is now into a function body. Still, how can i loop that function, if i only have one frame?

Export vertical oriented movie single frame - not working

Using:
- iMac 20" 2 GHz 4 GB RAM
- OSX10.5.8
- iPhoto 8 version 7.1.5 (378)
- QuickTime Player Pro Version 7.6.9 (1680.8)
- Preview 4.2 (469.5)
Here is what I do to export a frame from a move in iPhoto to get a single frame:
Open and play a video in iPhoto using Quicktime Pro, stoping and selecting a particular frame, pressing Command C, open Preview, select New From Clipboard.
or
Open and play a video in iPhoto using Quicktime Pro, stoping and selecting a particular frame, Selecting File Export Move to Picture.
Both the above work for horizontal oriented movies.
However, for vertically oriented movies neigther works.
Movies are taken with:
- iPhone 3GS
- Exaxti CG6
- Insignia NS-DSC7B09
- Fujifilm Finepix XP20.
Any solutions/suggestions (except upgrading to the newest iPhoto, Lion, etc. too slow on a 2 GHz iMac)
Thanks.

I mentioned in the second part of my initial post that I did also try the export "Movie to Picture" with the same results.
Strange! That work flow still works on my PPC platform. (Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel platform available with OS 10.5.8 installed for testing.)
Am I able to have "MPEG Streamclip" open as the default when a movie is double clicked on in iPhoto instead of Quicktime opening the movie?
Not sure. I don't use iPhoto (prefer Aperture) normally and definitely would not use either for video clip management. Try resetting the double-click external edit switch or reset the "Open With" atribute for the class of movies being edited.
This actually for a novice user who I suggested take short video clips, pick a frame then copy/paste it into Preview instead of taking stills. Unfortunatly my advice fails when the iPhone photos are taken vertically.
The problem may be based on a change on the application being use. Like anamorphic videos with contain both pixel dimensions and PAR values, the reoriented videos may contain both true orientation and display orientation information. How the files work may depend on the application being used at the time. I.e., some third-party video/still display apps rely on the original orientation while others use the "rotated" info embedded in the file. And, unfortunately, it appears that Preview does not know what to do, so it does nothing. My guess is this is a bug that needs to be reported in feedback to Apple again and again until until they decide to address and correct the Preview application.

Same button on single frame to display/hide movie clip?

Hi, can a button on a single frame be coded to both display a movie clip on its first click and, after a second click, hide the movie clip? Thanks

Yes, assuming you make the movieclip invisible to start with, in the event handler function just use...
mc_name.visible = !mc_name.visible;

How do I export a file to mov? I always get just a single frame.

I don't work in flash. So excuse my ignorance. I have a flash file that I want to import to After Effects. Everytime I try exporting it only exports a single frame and everytime I publish it I only get an html file. I'm getting fustrated! This should be straight forward!
Here's the file...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/k6r6cwdm6tsl6o9/TrixieCS6dd.fla

is all your animation on the main timeline? if not, move the animation to the main timeline.
do you have any movieclips on the main timeline? (if yes, change them to graphic symbols and retest.)

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.

Automatically getURL at the end of a movie?

I’ve been using Swift3D to create a splash page.
I’ve imported the movie into Flash and worked out how to
[stop();’] my movie from repeating. At the end of the movie I
want it to another webpage in the same window.
I’ve tried adding the getURL script in the last frame
of my movie but I get this error in the output window:
**Error** Symbol=movie.swf, layer=Layer 1, frame=59:Line 1:
')' or ',' expected
getURL(http:/www.mysite.com/);
The movie plays but the [stop();’] action is ignored
and the movie continues to loop. I’ve tried putting the
getURL before and after the [stop();’] action but I get the
same error.
So what am I doing wrong? I’m really new to this.
Trying to learn DremWeaver at the same time and my head is fried.
Can someone help?
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks Rapatski & dzedward it works but I now get an
error saying that Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe
operation. The following local application on your computer or
network is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled
location.
Is this just because I’m testing the file on my local
desktop? Will this error go away when I upload my files to a
server? Or is there a way of changing the security settings in my
Flash movie?

Project Captures as 1 Blank Single Frame

I am trying to do a software demonstration and every time I
end it, there is only 1 single frame that is blank. I have tried
changing resoltuion and turning off hardware acceleration and it
hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Dave

Well I found the problem but not the reason why... I moved a group 1 frame to the left (seemingly unrelated to the layer with the glitch) and it works... When I move the whole group to the right, it makes the footage disappear until the other group appears...
Confusing?

Trigger actionscript from end of captivate movie

Hi Guys,
I'm going insane trying to work out how to trigger an
actionscript event from the last slide of my Captivate movie.
Basically I'm doing a product walk through which I am exporting as
a swf an then dynamically loading into my flash file.
I need to be able to detect when the externally loaded
Captivate swf has completed playback so that I can then continue on
with the rest of my flash movie.
I have tried adding a swf in Captivate with actionscript to
trigger the event at the end of the slide but it doesn't work?
I have also tried exporting the whole thing as an fla and
then re exporting it from Flash MX 2004 and the animation seems to
get ruined and out of synch.
Any ideas on how I can detect and trigger and AS event when
the loaded Captivate swf has completed would be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps for reading.
Chris

hi Chris
i created a similar workaround. i ran into a number of issues
when trying to call an actionscript function at the end of a
Captivate swf. i determined that captivate is VERY picky about
imported swfs. for instance, i had a single imported swf that
contained an animated background and one line of actionscript, and
it never worked. however, when i split it into two separate swfs
(one just for graphics, one just for actionscript), it worked! go
figure.
i also noticed you have to be careful where you place it on
the captivate timeline, depending on what you're trying to do. if
you're calling an end-of-movie function, be sure the swf is only on
the last few frames of the last slide. sometimes when i placed the
actionscript swf on the first frame of my last slide it wouldn't
work, but after moving it down a bit, it worked fine.
lastly, i had to use "_root" to get mine working. i know many
people consider it bad form, but if it works, it works. i did the
following:
1. created a function in my Flash interface named "endDemo()"
2. created an empty Flash file with one line of actionscript:
_root.endDemo();
3. imported the swf into my captivate movie and placed it on
the last few frames of the last slide.
4. set my captivate movie prefs to stop at the end of the
movie, and not to fade out.
worked for me... good luck!

Go to frame, play a few then load movie?

I am working on a continously playing banner that has 5
different movies. there is a navigation bar below with 5 buttons,
one for each movie. There is also a puase/play button so you can
stop the animation and resume it. What I cant figure out is how to
actionscript the buttons. I need them to jump to a particular frame
in the current movie, play a specific set of frames (the outro
animation sequence), then load the appropriate movie.
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(series of frames???);
loadMovie("movie2.swf", 1);
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm still having trouble grokking it...... Ok so I am
watching the animation, Movie #1 ends and loads Movie #2 and I am
on Movie #1 but I decide I want to jump to movie #4 (there are 5
movies altogether), I click on the button for Movie 4, it then
jumps to the frames I labelled to play the outro, then loads Movie
4.
So in one scenario I can watch all 5 movies in sequence. At
the end of each movie is the frame:
var holder_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
holder_mc.clear();
holder_mcl.loadClip("your_file.swf", holder_mc);
where "your_file.swf" is the next movie in the sequence e.g.
movie2.swf at the end of movie1's timeline.
In the scenario I descfribed above where I want to skip Movie
#3 and jump to movie #4, I use the button code:
on(release){
holder_mc.clear();
gotoAndPlay("movie2outro");
to play my outro, but if I am currently in movie #2, where
loading movie3 is called to load at its end of that timeline, how
can I load movie #4 in a frame in the same timeline?
You can see something similar on the home page for Micron
http://www.micron.com. The big
difference is that my "slide show" plays continuosly (will
autonmatically go to the next "slide") whereas you have to choose a
link on the bottom on the the micron.com one to go to another
slide.
Thanks so much for your help!
