Still capture during playback

I can capture stills during viewing and recording using MSIPVS by hitting the camera button but during playback of a previousley recorded file the camera button is greyed out and not useable. The help says it should be active any suggestions anyone?
Thanks

Thats Right... I had the same issue. To solve that I installed some DVD Decoders. At the moment I have the one From NERO, Intervideo and the MSI updated one. I didn't pay attention as to when my WMM started to work, but the latest one was the Nvidia (MSI) decoder. I can now actually use WMM to capture which is nice.

Oprah podcasts still pause during playback

Quite a while ago I asked about the weird hesitation during playback of any of the Oprah podcasts, but, although several people reported having the same experience, no one had an answer.
Well....thought I'd bring the subject up again and see if there was any answer to why this is happening, and how to correct it.
Basically, after about 20 minutes into any of the podcasts offered by Oprah's soul series, my iPod will lock up and pause for a while. Nothing can force the iPod out of this mode while it's paused... you just have to wait until, whatever is happening, finishes. As the program progresses, these pauses occur more frequently and the duration of the pause increases as well (sometimes lasting for a minute or longer).
BTW, the podcasts play fine, without hesitations, on iTunes within any Mac...only when played thru an iPod does this occur.
Of course, all other music, and podcasts, play back normally, without pauses.

I've identified two different Oprah Podcast series, I assume you are referring to the *Oprah.com Spirit Channel* (also known as *Oprah's Soul Series* ) with episodes: Kathy Freston from 18th August and Rodger Kamenetz from 26th August, is that correct?
If so, I notice that there are audio-only Podcasts & video Podcasts, so we need to know which episode types are causing the problem, audio, video-small screen or video-large screen. I'm currently downloading (as I write) the episode *Rodger Kamenetz part 1 - small screen* as a test. Are you trying to play the large-screen versions of the videos on your iPod?

Still image jpg w/ motion is chopy during playback

Greetings,
In FCE4 I have added a few still images which are approximately 500kb in size to a sequence. Motion has been applied to the stills, basically zooming out slowly in a Ken Burns way. During playback the motion is smooth when viewed in the Viewer but is chopy when viewed in the Canvas. What can be done to make the still image motion smooth in the Canvas?
Thanks, Scott

Make sure the Sequence is rendered fully.

Photo Stills look good on the timeline but awful during playback

Not sure what I did wrong. I'm doing a slideshow of photos and some of the photos look great during playback and some look pixelated. What is the reason behind this? I remember when I did a video the video clips were coming out blurry and I found a "trick" where I had to add a high resolution clip that would set the precedent for all other clips to keep them from being blurry. But this is with photos now so I'm not sure of any "tricks".
Any help appreciated. Thanks!

The best thing I have found to do, and it goes against everything in my being, is to use bing to do a search for "HD Photo of __________."

My apple tv stalls during playback. How can I fix this?

My Apple TV stalls during playback. I am hooked up through ethernet so I'm certain that it is not a network issue. What happens is that after a few minutes of normal playback the movie that I'm watching simply stalls. It looks like AppleTV is trying to reboot it. if I rewind it briefly and restart the movie by pushing play it seems to be fine. But it it stalls again after a few minutes. I have to do this very often and it becomes quite distracting when you're trying to watch a show.
One thing I have noticed is that if I pause the program before it stalls and leave it for about 15 minutes I can watch a large portion of the show uninterrupted.
The files are in my iTunes library. I don't seem to have this issue if I'm playing the files from my iPad via AirPlay. I have restarted, reset, and rebooted AppleTV several times and it still keeps doing it. Any suggestions out there?

640 x 480
Widescreen 16:9
These settings are contradictory. Please post a screen capture image of the QT "Inspector" window to confirm what encode matrix setting, PAR display setting, and Scale display settings are actually embedded in your file. Also please confirm whether or not the source material was widescreen and it is 4:3 aspect you wish to correct at this point. If not, then please state the height at which the transcoded file was encoded and the target aspect ratio at which you want files to play in all media players.
Once compressed it plays back in Windows Media Player as 16:9 video.
When played back with Quicktime it is squished into a 4:3 format.
Different players dispay content aspect differently.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
QT 7, for instance, displays the file using specific Scale dimensions and if these dimensions are not equivalent to PAR/anamorphic playback settings, then the file can display differently in differently media players. As to fixing the problem, that depends on which setting you are trying to fix and what platform/software is available.

External monitor frozen during playback

I am having trouble with my monitor not PLAYING during playback. I get an image when I scroll through the timeline but when I play - the image is frozen.. As soon as playback stops, the monitor refreshes to the correct frame - but it doesn't show during playback.
We have tried all these steps already:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
7 ) If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
What is really mindboggling is that the monitor is working in terms of giving us the correct image - just not during playback.
PLease help - thanks.

I think you may be onto something with the graphics card concept. The problem I am having only exists when I am working on an HD project. When I switched back to DV-NTSC then the monitor is fine during playback.
Yes, I am routing my external monitor through my DV deck, which is not an HD deck - so again, that could be another weak link in the chain.
This is the first HD project that I am editing, so obviously a few kinks still need to be worked out. My internal hard drive has 1.5 gigs of ram but I am not sure what the specs are on the graphics card.

Footage jumps in Final Cut X and Quicktime during playback

I did a simple SLOW pan shot with my Canon C100 with the media being recorded on to the Ninja 2. I transfer the media from the Ninja 2 on to an External Thunderbolt Hard Drive. When I play back the footage it jumps around. I also tried the clip in the Apple store and got the same result.
When I play the clip on my friends PC it plays smoothly.
I'm shooting Pro Res 422, 10 Bit rate, using a Mac Book Pro, OS 10.9.5, Final Cut X 10.1.3 and I have 16 gigs of ram.
Why is the footage jumpy?

Greetings Vibrant
I was thinking that your problem may lay in the SD card being not quick enough to capture the camera's 10 bit HD vision and was dropping frames etc but, you mentioned you are recoding onto an external Ninja 2 so surely that must be quick enough to record the output of the camera you would think.
I'm tending to think that your MacBook Pro, in particular it's graphics card, is not up to the task of playing back 10 bit full HD content.
Your best bet to decipher if it's the Ninja 2 thats the problem (dropping frames during capture) or the MacBook Pro during playback would be to export/convert the vision into H.264 or something smaller in size and bitrate and then play that back on the MacBook, another Mac, iPad, iPhone etc. If it's smooth, then the MacBook would be the problem. If it's still jumpy, then the problem could lay with the output to the Ninja, or the Ninja itself.
Have you tried playing back the vision from in-camera/Ninja connected directly to a HD TV ??
I've been having a **** of time these past few weeks with my newly acquired Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with jumpy vision. Tried all of the above, sending the vision in it's native form and also numerous varying conversions, from my 27" Quad-Core iMac to my MacBook Pro, iPad Air, iPhone 5, to my TiVo's and even last night burnt onto a DVD to playback in my Blu-Ray player in the theatre room. All to no avail. I've purchased a second expensive SanDisk Extreme Pro 95MB/s card thinking the first card was a fake or something, and the new card has made no difference either.
I even completely formatted and clean installed OSx Mavericks on my MacBook Pro just to double check, but it's still choppy.
The vision even plays back choppy in the BMPCC through HDMI to a HD television but not as bad to be honest, so i'm now, after all this testing, consigned to think the camera is kaput, as the vision looks more like a huge vertical sync problem on my camera, as opposed to simple dropped frames as this camera is prone to with not so good/unsupported SD cards.
Hope that helps you a little in running tests to find where the problem lies with your vision.
P.S. I read recently during my last two weeks of wasting far too much time troubleshooting my own problem that it's best to NOT have journaling enabled on your external disk(s) that you use to capture and edit with in FCPX. Apparently Journaling slows down the read/write of the drive potentially causing stuttering to high bit-rate HD video. I'm about to disable journaling on my FCPX disk and test the outcome shortly.
Although, you are running Thunderbolt disk so you wouldn't think such a fast medium would be affected by such a thing. But, stranger things have happened .

Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

Hey everyone,
I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
Editing in a sequence with settings:
1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
Working with footage that is 23.98fps
Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

Having this annoying problem also. Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
Really annoying. Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
CPU/GPU related?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi there,

Audio levels on an external monitor vary during playback when using HDMI audio

I've been having issues with movie playback using a large 1080p HDMI TV. During playback the audio level will come in strong, go faint, then go strong again, but not on any sort of pattern I could discern. It did this on three seperate movies legally purchased via iTunes. I get audio and video without trouble, its just the audio goes soft when it shouldn't.
If you remember the VHS days and "MACROVISION" encoding, then you have an idea what it was doing, although it was the audio levels, not the video playback.
Is this a fault of the system, a DRM gremlin, or something else?

I think you may be onto something with the graphics card concept. The problem I am having only exists when I am working on an HD project. When I switched back to DV-NTSC then the monitor is fine during playback.
Yes, I am routing my external monitor through my DV deck, which is not an HD deck - so again, that could be another weak link in the chain.

HD footage in 4:3 timeline project comes out stretched during playback!

Hello Fellow Final Cutters,
I am doing some projections for a theatre show, and need to project in 4:3 aspect to maximize screen area on an unusual shaped screen. I am using FCP6 and monitoring onto both my Apple 20" display and/or NEC (native 4:3) projector with display settings set to 1024x768. My sequence settings are Custom size 1024x768, square pixels or PAL ratio, field dominance none, compression Animation, Photo Jpeg, or ProRes422. I've tried all combinations of this but the problem is, I can monitor the correct aspect when the frame is STILL, but when PLAYING it squeezes into 16:9.
This will be a problem when doing test projections in rehearsals, as it won't fit the custom 4:3 screen in the set. Exporting a QT displays fine in 4:3 on the external displays, it is just when playing from the FCP timeline, the image becomes squeezed.
Does anyone have any suggestions on basically monitoring a custom 4:3 sequence during playback without 16:9 distortion?
Cheers, hope you're all well
Sam

Oh, when I'm working in rehearsals its good to be able to update as fast as possible... watch a section of performance, project the images simultaneously, stop say after 30 secs, adjust image, re-render, playback from timeline, stop, adjust image, re-render, etc. Similar to editing with a client in studio, I need the display to show what the final outcome actually is on the fly.
Usually I am working in HD, projecting 16:9 or previously in SD projecting 4:3, but it seems in the crossover with FCP HD codecs there is some conflict trying to playback 4:3 using hi-res codecs (something better than SD PAL def). The included Film Academy setting (2048x1536) plays back without stretching, but this is REALLY hi res and is about double the rendering time. maybe I'll try downrezzing the Film Academy setting...

No sound captured during Capture Now

First time in many moons using FCP. I'm capturing from a mini DV (Canon Eulura 70) using the Capture Now function. The problem is that it appears that no sound is being captured. I've read other posts about not hearing sound during capture... at the moment I'm using headphones connected to the camera and the sound is fine. I'd prefer to use the computer to monitor the sound but I cannot locate a checkbox anywhere to turn this feature on.
When I drop the captured clips onto the canvas no corresponding audio file appears in the timeline, and no audio plays during playback. I've checked the clip setting in log/capture and it's set to capture both video and audio. I've checked System Settings, and under Scratch disks it's set to capture video and audio separately. Audio playback in FCP is set to built-in audio. Sound is working fine in all other applications.
I've tried trashing the preference files but no effect. Also I tried to just capture audio, and as soon as I hit esc, FCP crashes... this is totally repeatable. I also noticed that on the clip setting tab there is a section with a bunch of sliders (7 in all)... don't know what they do, but they are all greyed out.
Camera works fine in iMovie...

There are no check boxes on that tab, only a pull down list entitled "Capture". The choices are Video and Audio, Video only, Audio only. I have it set to Video and Audio. Perhaps there are checkboxes in another version?

Photos not displaying during playback

Hi all
I added a few still photos from my iPhoto library at the beginning of a showreel I am putting together but for some reason some of the photos won't display during playback.
They appear on the timeline just fine but during playback they go black before it returns to the rest of of the video clip where normal play resumes.
I have tried to move the photos, delete then re-add the photos but still nothing.
The photos display perfectly in all other sources and devices.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue.
There are several methods.
Hold option and CMD when iPhoto starts and rebuild the data base, then try grabbing them form iPhoto to iMovie.
Export them from iPhoto to the desktop and drag from desktop to iMovie.
Thats the 2 which I have limped through the last couple of issues I have had with it, but now I am having no luck at all with an of the solutions (check my recent post about this issue and Apples lack of sh*ts given about it), there are listed the solutions I have tried.
Hope this helps...

I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and timeline in FCP7. How do I fix?

I'm seeing a strobing effect during playback of clips and the timeline in FCP7. Footage isn't corrupt. Apple techs said its not hardware after their tests at the Apple store. I did a full reinstall of FCS. There's 4GB of RAM free at all times during playback. The problem is still there... How do I fix this?
Strobing:
By strobing, I mean there's only about 1 ever 10 frames playing back for me. Everything is rendered and the comp settings match the clip settings. It's not constant though, but the strobing is triggered at certain points on the timeline and effect a few clips after that (10 seconds or so at a time), and then when the next clip is displayed on the timeline the strobbing stopps and is reset back to normal playback... until another random clip is encountered by the playback head to which then the process repeats. Also, when strobbing is happening and I move the playhead back a few seconds, or pause & play, or even forward a little on the same strobbing clip (basically when i inturrupt the playback process) the strobbing STOPS! I can watch the same footage that was strobing without it strobing any longer until I move back the playhead far enough and try again, then the strobing is triggered again. I hope this all makes sense, it's very picular and I've seen or heard of nothing like it in my 4 years of editing in FCP7.

SStrange my enough the problem started occurring a few hours into the project. The only thing I can think of is that I shot with all Canon 5D mark iii footage when I usually shot with a mark ii. My workflow hasn't changed and I have never had this problem. I've also used other mark iii footage in the past without a problem but I don think I've edited entirely with mark iii footage

Slowing speed causing jerks during Playback in premiere pro 1.5. Can anyone give advice to solve?

Hello.
I am from Pakistan and we use PAL.
I am using adobe premiere pro 1.5 at my P.C. No capturing card has been installed on my computer. When I strech any video clip or slow its speed, after render, it produces little bit jerks and flickers during playback. Even it shows same problem after export project. Can anyone tell me the solution. Another thing I want to share, I have installed Matrox RTX card at my office. I have not seen any jerk there during slow motion. (Sorry for using inappropriate english)

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, you have posted to the CS5 sub-forum, and should post to the CS4 and Earlier Forum. I am sure that one of our MOD's will move this for you, especially as you were kind enough to put the version number in the title - thank you for that.
Now, can you give us the full specs. of your Video files. The more detail, the better. There is likely some aspect of those Source Files, that is causing an issue.
Good luck, and if this post "disappears," then it has been moved for you. See the link above to the CS4 and Earlier forum.
