Still frame not included in rendered video file

I've been working on a video project for the last couple of days, and have run into a puzzling issue. My video ends with a still frame that lasts about 3 seconds, with text on top of the image. When I share my video to iTunes and select the "Mobile" size option, the still image shows up fine. When I share my video to iTunes with the "Large" size option, the still image no longer appears under the text. Does anybody know why this would occur? Any help would be much appreciated!

Oddly enough, I went through the whole delete-reinsert routine just before I did the mobile-sized render where the still image showed up. Of course, when I did the large-sized render immediately afterwards, the image was gone. I just went through the whole rigamarole again and am currently rendering an HD version, so we'll see if it works. I figure if I get a successful HD copy of my project, I can always use that to create smaller versions rather than rendering those from iMovie itself. Right now I'm just in wait & see mode.
Unfortunately, adding a few seconds of black after the still frame spoils the effect I'm going for with my project, so it's not a feasible solution in this instance.
EDIT: So the HD version finished rendering, and no still image, sigh. What the heck is going on?

Sony just isn't helping me. I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files.

Well, I'm still having trouble transferring my NX3 video files to my editing software. Sony suggested using the Sony Content Browser but that doesn't work. Sony just can't seem to help me. If the scene shot on the card is longer than 10 minutes, 4 frames of audio is lost from each file. So if you shoot 60 minutes straight (say a wedding, you loose audio every 10 minutes) I guess this doesn't sound important, unless it happens just as the bride is saying "Yes" in her vows.
My original post is as follows:
Sony NXCAM (NX-3) drops audio tracks when importing into FCPX and Premiere.
I called Sony on Feb 13, 2015. I spoke with Doug (case no. 661972). I've been using my NX-3 for about 3 months. I'm still testing Sony NX-3. Looking for a way to transfer the video and audio without dropping audio frames. I didn't catch it at first, I mean it's only a few audio frames. It seems to happen with files over 12 minutes shooting. It seems that I can't upload the video/audio shot in my NX-3 to either my iMac (using FCPX nor Premiere) nor can I upload it to my PC (using Premiere) without 3 to 6 audio "frames" being dropped. When I spoke with Doug at Sony, a person I've actually spoke with in the past, he seemed frustrated. I was speaking with him as a professional and was attempting to find a solution, he was being protective and wanted to place blame at other companies. He stated that the camera played back the files correctly so it isn't a Sony problem. I explained that it is a problem for all of us if we choose Sony as our purchase. He told me "you should all buy Canons next time." That kind of through me. How do you speak to that. I explained that I am just looking for a solution and he told me to call the software and computer companies. Doesn't Sony realize that just because the camera works, that isn't the end of the road. You need to put the video into a devise to edit the video. I asked him what software would he recommend to a professional to use to edit footage taken by the Sony, he no reply. All I received from Doug was a really bad feeling about Sony. I've been a Sony "shooter" for over 34 years. I still can't believe the way I was treated. Not sure now what path I will take with this. But I surely need to tell everyone (all of my associates who have been asking me how I like my new camera) what response I received from Sony. Buy a Canon. By the way, I asked if Sony might have another camera of the same type that didn't drop audio. Doug didn't know. Really strange. Is Doug not happy with his prosition with Sony?

Auto Correct:
As far as I'm aware this cannot be turned off. Someone may prove me wrong on this point
CDDB Update:
Again, as far as I'm aware this cannot be done. You could use WMP to update the files then import them into iTunes.
Music Deletion:
iTunes seems to only ask you if you want to delete a file if the file is located in its library folder. In the Preferences>Advanced>General section try changing your iTunes Music Folder to the folder where all your music is stored and it should ask you if you want to move files to the recycle bin when you delete them.
Library Update:
This is a feature I with iTunes would introduce. When you delete or move a file iTunes loses track of it. What it needs to be able to do is first check to see that all the existing files in the library are still there, and remove the ones that aren’t, then it needs to search for new tracks.
It can search for new tracks but if you have renamed a file, then it will be in the library twice, one is the old file (which will no longer play because it doesn’t exist) and the other is the new file.
The way I now avoid iTunes annoyances in relation to file names and folder organisation is I let iTunes sort it all out for me. Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes folder when adding to library" will get iTunes to sort your music into Artist folders, then within the Artist folders are Albums, then within the album folders are the actual files, which are named Track Number Artist. For example Coldplay - Clocks will be named 05 Clocks.mp3.
WARNING: Selecting "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" will copy all the music in your library to the iTunes Music folder. You must have enough Hard Disk space to do this.
...that wound up longer then I thought it would. Hope you can make sense of it all.
Cheers,
Ben

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7

I am not able to add video files to my itunes after installing itunes 10.7.0.21

I Have been using, Ipad for only around a month or so (Ipad 2), and it was only yesterday that i tried to use the Itunes. I first downloaded the latest itunes (10.7.0.21), and took backup of all my Ipad data.
After this, I wanted to add some video to my ipad, as it was essential to add the same to My itunes first, I roceeded to do just that. I went through this command {File - Add File to Library}, and then went on to select the Video file. There's just a flicker, and then nothing happens at all - the itune screen remains, and there is no error message too. Whereas, I can easily add Audio Files.
After this, I even downaload the latest Quick time (7.7.2), as I had read somewhere that the same is necessary. When I tried to open the Video file in Quick time, it did not open. After that I downloaded the codec DivX and DivX player. Though the Video plays in DivX, it refuses to open in Itune and does not play properly in Quicktime (slider moves, but sound and video is not there).
Frankly, I am utterly confused.

Check the sort options in the Events mode. Sort by Date - descending so the newest events will be at the top of the window. There's be a single event for each month titled like htis: Mar 2014 Photo Stream. All new photos added to the Photo Stream from your mobile devices in March will be imported into that event.
You can try the following to "jump start" the Photo Stream:

.THM Sidecar Files Not Included When Importing Video Directly From Camera (Canon 7d)

Lightroom (3.4) has always copied the .THM sidecard files when I have imported video files from my Canon 7d using a card reader. However I am on a trip and have forgotten my card reader so I have been copying directly from the camera and for some reason Lightroom is not copying the .THM sidecar files and thus I am missing all my valuable metadata such as camera, exposure, focal length, ISO, etc. associated with the video files. Very frustrating!
Any ideas?

Also because I do not have a card reader I cannot grab the .thm files myself. Mac OS X (and I think Windows) just see the camera as a "device" and offer to import but do not give me direct access to the files. Maybe if there is an app that will allow me to do that when the camera is connected I can work around this for now.

Told by adobe that I should purchase photoshop elements 13 to extract photo from video but it will not even open a video file -- what am I missing?

I am supposed to be able to extract a frame from PSE 13 but it will not let me do so. Specifically, Select File > Import > Frame From Video is supposed to allow this but when I click Import, there is no Frame from video option.
Here are the instructions from the Adobe website:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
Click Done.

This is strange because I found the following on the adobe PSE 13 website (but the Select File/Import does not include Frame From Video:
You can play a video from within Photoshop Elements and grab frames to edit and save as images.
Select File > Import > Frame From Video.
Browse and select the video.
Click Play.The video starts playing in the Frame From Video dialog box. You can use the playback controls to display the frames your want to grab. If you find the audio distracting, select Mute.
Click Grab Frame.Photoshop Elements places the grabbed frames as images in new files., ready for editing.
Click Done.

I've had a problem with previewing rendered video files

Hey guys, I'm Justin,
thanks in advance.
so when I render video files in fce, the video usually renders fine, but on the canvas the video just replays the first and last frame of the rendered video, making it look like a jumbled mess. but, when I export it as a quicktime file it runs just fine, I think the problem is in my canvas and I don't know how to fix it.
Also I recently upgraded my system from 2gb of ram to 4gb of ram, can fce recognise this or do I need to do something fancy
Thank you so much,
Justin

Hello, Justin, and welcome to the forum.
Where is the video coming from and how are you getting it into FCE? Almost always, your best bet is to convert your media into a format with which FCE works natively before you bring it into the program. If you do that, rendering and lots of other issues are minimized.

Can Premiere Elements NOT re-encode a video file

I want to take 200 HD camcorder files and put them on a Blu-ray disc with a basic menu structure.
I know Premiere Elements can do the menu structure. My question: Is it able to use the video files without re-encoding them? (The source files are 1280x720, H.264/AVC, 29.97fps.) I can't test this using the trial version because it watermarks the video.
If PE can't do it, am I overlooking some simple way of doing Blu-ray menus using the Creative Suite products? I have used Premiere Pro and Encore to author BDs, but that involved setting up every element of the menu structure by hand.

Although I cannot give you first hand workings of Premiere Pro CC because I do not use the program (I am strictly an Elements Windows user),
I offer the following Adobe documentation that I found online for Premiere Pro CC features that you seek and that Premiere Elements does not have.

Any way to capture a still frame as an image in Imovie HD? "Create Still Frame" just gives me short MOV files

I'm trying to export a still from a project I'm working on so I can add some things to it in photoshop before importing it back in to the imovie project.
It's from the end of a clip I have. I know I could just use grab and take a screen capture but the quality would be awful.
Imovie HD has this feature, "Create Still Frame" and when I google this problem all the answers tell me to use that.
HOWEVER: When I do use Create Still Frame, instead of giving me a JPG I can use or another image format, it creates a short 5 second .mov clip of the still. If I wanted it in movie format I'd just use the original clip, what I need is an image format!
There doesn't seem to be an option anywhere to change what type of still frame format it uses. There must be a way to do this however, all the answers I've found say it should be JPG and I should be able to locate it then in the project package - what am I doing wrong?

The shortest way to accomplish this is to download a copy of MPEG Streamclip as relayed by longtime iMovie Discussion Group participant AppleMan1958
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15808352#15808352
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.

Still frames not staying still...

I've had this problem on a couple of projects and have manned up to make my first post ever in a forum to try and solve it. Any help would be appreciated.
In Final Cut I made some still frames using the Modify--Make Freeze Frame command, then used a cross dissolve between the two images in the sequence. These are the only still frames in the sequence, the rest is video.
I've exported to Quicktime movie, then brought that movie into DVD Studio Pro, created the project and burned the disc. When watching the DVD all video footage is fine except for--the still images, which flicker like crazy. It is a long dissolve, nearly a minute, but I've had this problem on other projects where the freeze frame lasts only a few seconds and there is no transition used at all.
Any idea why this flickering (ghosting?) would occur with freeze frames? Know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you have very thin horizontal lines you will get flickering due to the interlacing that TVs do. You can try running your stills through the de-interlace filter or the flicker filter. See which works best for you.

(un)rendered video files...

I am a fairly new to Final Cut Express. I have edited videos in the application before without any problems, however I have been running into some trouble with the last couple projects I have attempted to work on...
My problem is when I drop a .MOV or .AVI file into my timeline, it tells me I need to render the file before it can play back. I understand that most effects need to be rendered before you can view them in playback, but these are raw video files. What makes these different from video files I have used in the past?
If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I would appreciate it.

Look in item properties for the clips. WHat exactly does it say? FCE only works natively with QuickTime files in DV for standard definition and the Apple Intermediate Codec for HD. If it isn't one of these the material needs to be converted.

Album/playlist downloaded from iTunes includes mpeg-4 video file?

I have downloaded from iTunes an album that includes an mpeg-4 video file? What is the best medium CD or DVD and format for burning the playlist? Assume it could be played on a CD player (for sound only) or a DVD player.

Handbrake includes a universal setting which makes the video compatible with the iPhone/iPod, Apple TV, and with iTunes on your computer. It also includes an iPhone/iPod compatible setting.

Android res/layout Folder not included in the APK file (but included in the ANE)

I'm having a problem with resources on an Adobe ANE Android extension: android.content.res.Resources@NotFoundException: id.viewView
I have a xml layout file, which is included in the ANE file (checking by unzipping the ANE file and looking into META-INF/ANE/Android-ARM)
In the APK file (generated with Flash Builder 4.6), the layout folder (inside res) at the top level is missing, but its included deep in the assets folder:

        drawable-hdpi
        drawable-ldpi
        drawable-mdpi

                                        drawable-xhdpi
                                        layout
                                        values
Any ideas?

Can you manually select it for inclusion by modifying Packaging Settings - Package Contents in "Export Release Build" settings?
