Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

  • Wav sound and frame rate problem

    I have a wav file sound that I'm using within a movie clip in
    the movie clip's timeline. When I test the movie from within Flash
    (command-return), everything works great. When I publish and view
    online, here's what happens.
    If I click a button to move to another frame in the movie
    while the sound is playing, the frame rate speeds up and the movie
    gets a "fast forward" look to it until the sound ends. If I click a
    button when the sound is not playing, everything is fine. Am I
    missing something in the publish settings? Do I need to stop the
    sound in AS3 on the CLICK events (and if so, how)?
    Thanks,

    You will have to use Compressor...and the Advanced Conversion settings...DVCPRO HD 720p24. But you will also need to go into the FRAME controls in the INSPECTOR and make sure that you make it progressive and that you changes all the settings to better or best. This means that it will take a while, but it will look better.

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

    I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
    Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

    hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
    Here's some links I got from google for you
    NTSC
    Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
    The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals

    info about aspect ratios... and better to scale down than up...or just stay the same as source.

    ================
    Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
    In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
    good luck

  • JMF Dimension and frame rate

    Skype is generally on autopilot.  I believe 1920x1080 (1080p) would be the max resolution as far as I can recall.  If the Internet connection isn't good enough at both ends, it will drop down to the resolution the call can handle.  The max resolution of the mobile device would be dependent on the hardware and the Skype client.  The webcam resolution compatibility is sometimes dependent on the version Skype.  Some people achieve better compatibility with the desktop version 6.1 vs the current 6.3.  If you want to monitor the resolution you can view the call technical info.  It will display the current resolution of both feeds and other call stats.
    This external site has some good info on it, though a bit dated, it should provide some insight.  I'm not sure if any of the mobile resolutions have been updated greater than 320x240.

  • Many syncing and e-mail problems.

    Hi folks, lots of syncing and e-mail problems here:
    Syncing: My phone won't sync iCal (it tells me my phone is disconnected), my safari bookmarks or my email accounts. I've been through the threads here, tried resetting iSync, tried deleting calendars and resetting to 10 days instead of 30 -- still no luck. For e-mail, initially iTunes saw the e-mail accounts but did not sync theml. I tried the one-time advance settings and now it's not even seeing the accounts and still not syncing them. and for Safari, no luck with the bookmarks at all even thought the check-box is checked.
    Also, the iPhone won't receive e-mail from any of my POP accounts, even the one I set by hand (because none of the settings synced.) I used the same settings that I have on my desktop, but no luck. I use RoadRunner, so I know I can't send off it. But I went to the genius bar today and they told me to just leave the SMTP server field blank and I should be able to receive, but all I get on wi-fi and edge is a message that says, "Cannot Get Mail, the connection to the server "pop-xxxxxx etc" failed." even on my home netowrk, with five bars, it can't seem to connect. (btw, it does seem to be working properly on my .Mac account, but I don't use that account for most of my correspondence.)
    As far as the sync problems, the genius bar told me to reinstall iTunes, which I did with the new update that just came out this evening. Still no luck.
    any thoughts? bum phone? some setting I'm not catching? any help would be appreciated.

    You will find the iPhone will freak out over any kind of perceived data corruption. Calendars seem to the worst for this (windows or mac)
    Test in a new user and try sending info in each direction. If it works - then your phone works fine.
    Other users have reported having to basically copy the contents of their calendars into a sticky or text edit window. delete the calendars and create brand new ones. they then just transfer the data back.

    Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window.  Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other.  Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

  • What frame rate should you build your Flash file at?

    Every second of video has 30 frames. But Flash animations can
    be done at any frame rate, which raises a couple of important
    questions:what frame rate should you work at, and second, if you
    choose to work at a rate other than 30 frames per second (fps), how
    do you convert to 30 fps? I deal with the question of frame rate
    conversion below.
    You can create a Flash movie at 30 fps. But if is going to be
    played back on a computer, a 30 fps .swf file will generally
    produce unacceptably high data rates, unless the image is very
    small and simple, or the computer it is playing on is very fast. It
    can also create a lot of extra animation work if you want to draw
    in-betweens for all 30 frames. Fortunately, there is no need to
    build your Flash movie at 30 fps, even if you are planning to
    transfer it to video.
    I usually build animation that needs to work on the web or
    video at 12 fps. This gives us a good balance of lower data rates
    and smoother animation. When creating cartoon style animation, it
    also keeps our work consistent with the majority of broadcast
    animation. While some high end cel animation is done at 24 frames
    per second (the rate that film is projected at), much broadcast
    animation is created at 12 fps. This is because it is drawn on
    "2's." In other words, each image holds for 2 frames. Do the math
    and it becomes clear why--half the amount of frames to draw each
    second. While Disney and Dreamworks may have virtually unlimited
    budgets to create their epic animations, most broadcast (and even
    more so, Internet) productions are on very tight budgets. But even
    the big studios do a lot of character animation on 2's. It looks
    good that way, so why create twice the work?
    If we are using flash to build a cartoon solely aimed at
    broadcast or film, however, we build it at 24 fps. That way we can
    animate on 2's for most of the character animation, but do animate
    on 1's for segments or particular motions that require smoother
    animation.
    If we are using Flash to build graphics for broadcast use
    only, and so won't be hand drawing in betweens, we usually build
    the file at 30 fps. This will give us the smoothest motion, and
    data rate won't be an issue for you. It is also possible to even
    build it at 60 fps, and convert this to a 30 fps video with fields
    In the end, you can decide to build it at any rate you want.
    The lower the rate, the smaller the file size, data rate and number
    of frames to animate, but the less smooth the animation.
    Conversely, the higher the frame rate, the higher the file size,
    data rate and number of frames to animate, but with smoother
    animation.
    now I use
    FLASH VIDEO MX PRO
    to covnert Video in multiple formats to FLV or SWF, I set the frame
    size just as above, I always get soomth Flash
    at the meantime, I have to set video rate when I use
    FLV To Video Convert
    Pro to play the video in my iPod, if you set the wrong frame
    rate, your iPod and other devices may not support the frame rate

    Usually video quality has nothing with frame rate, but when
    you convert flash to iPhone or other devices, you should think of
    which frame rate video can your device play. when I convert .swf to
    iPhone with
    SWF to Video
    Converter, as you know, iPhone can only support frame rate from
    2 to 15 or a little more, I always choose 15. In this scare, frame
    rate is higher, the quality is better.

  • Need some advise for import video in Flash

    Hi guys, i got a problem with importing video in Flash.
    Actually I know how to import video in swf 
    There are 3 ways;
    1. loading external video with playback component
    2. embed FLV in SWF
    3. URL
    Ye i know second way is easy and fast but it needs to control everytime when the contents are changed or fixed.
    So best way for me and my work is first way
    Problem is when i use first way then move full swf file to another pc, just video (in the swf) doesn't play at all.(i'm sure it's from wrong file path)
    How to change the content path? I tried so many times but failed.. (just doesnt work and some error message appears on output)
    Should I install flash program in another pc then replace all the file?
    Please I need your advise
    Thanks

    I was able to tether my original Verizon Droid using EasyTether without needing to root the phone. The free version wont work with https sites, but its not expensive to buy the full version after you figure out if it will work. Its not fast but seems to work ok.

  • Video Frame rate problem.

    Hi experts,
    I am working with JMF to capture a video source and display it in a JInternalFrame.
    I set the frame rate to 30fps, but when running the program I only have 1fps. If I set the LightWeightRenderer of the Manager to false, then I have 16fps (not the 30fps requested).
    If I use JMStudio I get the 30fps.
    Do you have any idea of what's going wrong ??
    Your ideas are welcome.
    Matthieu

    Thanks for your answers.
    In fact, I am capturing a video source coming from an echograph with a Miro PCTV video card (bt848).
    My computer runs with WinXP on a PentiumIII 450Mhz, 256Mo of RAM, and a NVidia GeForce 2 GTS with 32Mo of RAM.
    I obtained the following results:
         -> Using RGB, 640x480, 24bits, 30fps :the real frame rate is 3-4 fps.
         -> Using YUV, 640x480, 30fps: the frame rate reaches 15 fps.
         -> Using JMStudio I always get 30fps.
    This frame rate is given by the video player.
    I think that the problem is not linked to the hardware configuration but in the way the video is displayed in the application.
    Indeed, I don't anderstand why JMstudio is able to give 30fps and my application only a few fps.
    The main difference is that I display the video in a JInternalFrame and in a Frame. But even if I supress the Manager.LightWeightRenderer support results are a little better but I never reach the 30fps.
    To build the video renderer I have used the MDIApp.java and JMFrame.java files given by Sun.
    My question is what can do the difference? How can the Sun code be so performant ?
    If you want more details on my code, I can put some piece of code on the forum.
    Thanks to find a solution because I am going to go crazy !!!!

  • Live! Cam Video IM Pro VF0410 Frame Rate Problem

    Hello I'm from Turkey sorry for my English first. I bought this camera yesterday and i tried it on 2 PC.First one is using Win Vista Home Premium (4Gb RAM + Core 2 Duo E6750),second one is Win XP Home (Gb Ram + Pentium M .8). In these PC's i can't get more than 4 or 5 FPS. I only saw 8 FPS for one second. I downloaded the?latest drivers from the site which is v.0.0 (2.68 Mb).Nothing changed it is 4 FPS again.What can i do what is this problem. Is my camera faulty ?

    I too have the same problem. It seems to be a flaw with the software or the hardware. If you disable the auto exposure setting the frame rate will still site at 4-5 fps.
    If you then move the exposure slider to the far left and then back to the right the frame rate will immediatley increase to 20-30 fps, but the exposure is quite poor even with the adjustment of brightness, contrast, etc. Is this a software bug or a hardware flaw?

  • Multiple formats and frame rates in one sequence

    i have material shot on many different cameras. it includes PAL and NTSC, HD and SD, 24, 25, 30, and 60 fps, ProRes, DCVProHD, DVCam, etc etc. the final product is going to HD in both NTSC 24fps and Pal 25fps, for NatGeo domestic and international.
    the roughs are already done with this hodgepodge. my job is to clean up the audio (done), and send the video out in for color, titles, and graphics. i'm trying to get at least the frame rates to match at 24, much of it is already in 24 dvcprohd or prores, so i have been doing quicktime exports of the non-dvcprohd/prores video to prores, then conforming to 24p in cinema tools, then overlaying the clips in the sequence with a fit to fill edit. sync has not been a problem, miraculously, even though the speeds end up between 100 and 125 percent.
    am i doing anything right, and if not, what's a preferable way to handle this mess? i tried media manager initially but nothing would relink, so i gave up and started doing the clips individually as stated above.
    all i know for sure is that whatever i end up doing, they're not paying me nearly enough.

    Hi Shane - Thanks for getting back to me! I figured I'd have to compress it, but
    my question is - how? Initially, I used MPEG Streamclip to import the 23.98 dvd footage in as a DV/DVC Pro QT at 100% Best Quality. I then imported those files into FCP. After getting your e-mail, I went to export the files into Compressor (from FCP), and I'm only given 5 setting choices under "QT." I'm not sure which one to select . . . Uncompressed 10 bit? Any ideas? Again, thanks so much!!!

  • Frame Rate Problems in CS4

    I am a student and I use CS4 on a Mac on one of the schools computers. One of the animation projects I am working I need to animate a music video.
    To do this I calculated out the BPM of the song and set the frame rate at 23.3 FPS so that I would have 20 Frames between beats. Then to have a visual representation of the timing I set a layer that has a red dot blink for 2 frames every 20 frames starting on the first beat. With it set up like this and I run the animation in Flash it keeps time correctly and works. However, when I test the video the time is off. I tried changing the frame rate to 60fps as an arbitrary number to see if adjusting the frame rate had any affect of the test file but when I tested the video at 60fps it did not run any faster than before. I asked my professor about the problem but he doesn't know. I exported the video to a SWF and MOV file but it was still off.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    use a timer to display your dot so you can control its timing more accurately.  that said, the only elementary way to sync audio and visual in flash is to add the audio to your timeline and assign a sync of "stream". 
    note:  that's not the best way to use sound in flash but it's the only easy way to sync sound/visuals.

  • FCE frame rate problem?!

    Hi, if someone could help me with this asap that would be so helpful?!
    Basically I'm having a problem with the frame rate in Final Cut Express. I was using 3 different Sequences to edit different clips/audio in. I then wanted to put them all in to the same Sequence but when I did the clips were flashing different colours and wouldn't play properly. All of the clips were 30fps however the project frame rate was 29.97fps? How did the frame rate of the project change because I didn't know you could change it and how can I change it back?! Thansk :-)

    29.97fps is the actual frame rate for NTSC (North American) video.  It has historically been called "30fps" for convenience sake.  However in recent years true 30fps capability has appeared even in some consumer camcorders.  This can result in some subtle problems if you mix real 30fps material in a standard 29.97fps sequence.  The "change" you refer to could occur if your clips were recorded at a real 30fps and you put them in a 29.97fps sequence.  FCE will try to conform the clips to the sequence settings.
    For completeness, here is what FCE supports:
    SD video at the following frame rates.  FCE imports DV video as QuickTime/Apple DV during capture from your camcorder
    DV-NTSC @ 29.97 fps
    DV-PAL @ 25 fps
    HD video at the following frame rates.  FCE transcodes all HD video (HDV and AVCHD)  to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec during capture from your camcorder.
    720p25,
    720p30
    1080i50

  • System heat up and frame rate reduces to 5 fps approx. while playing FIFA 12

    The game works very well in first 2 minutes of startup but after that the fan speed increses abnormally and hard disk also heats up. this is followed by reduced frame rate about 5 fps which makes it very difficult to play the game. While this problem is not seen with earlier versions of FIFA 09 and FIFA 10.
    I am using HP-Pavilion dv4 1204tu laptop. 3GB ram. Windows Vista SP1 32-bit. and Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelator Series 4.

    Interesting, and yet the video card worked beautifully through Mac OS X 10.5.x and 10.6.x until 10.6.5 came along. And the game binary hasn't changed, so the problem must be with the OS.
    Further, if I understand the hierarchy of responsibilities in the software correctly, it's not surprising that the game worked with a video card it may not have listed as supported: Apple supplies an OpenGL library, and compatible drivers for the video cards it sells (that would include my video card, of course), and the games use the OpenGL library to do their graphics. So there's an Apple-supplied abstraction layer (or two) between the game and the video card. In principle, the game doesn't need to know what type of video card is present; just which of the many of the OpenGL features the OpenGL library supports, and whatever the OpenGL library allows it to discover about a video cards' functionality. That way, game developers don't have to create separate versions of their games, or huge amounts of their own video card abstraction code, in order to write a game that's compatible with all of the many video cards on the market at any given time, and all of the new video cards that will come along after the game is published. (I believe my ATI Radeon HD 4870 falls into the latter category.)
