Unwanted freeze frame after cutting out clip

I have a video clip I want to cut a bit out of. I split the playhead (Apple-T) before and after the bit I want to remove, remove the bit I don't want, and join the remaining clips together.
When I play the movie back, the last frame before the cut freezes on the screen for a few seconds, covering the first part of the clip after the cut.
When I scroll the playhead (using the arrow keys), the video looks normal. I only see the frozen frame when I play it.
I've tried adding a transistion, but the frozen frame pops up after the transition. I've added black space, but the frozen frame appears after the black space.
The audio either plays normally or stutters a bit.
This doesn't happen all the time, but I'd like to know how to fix or prevent it.
Thanks,
Rob
iMac 2Ghz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If all else fails I'd select the offending clip and maybe also the neighbouring clips and export them as Full Quality DV and import it back. If that single concatenated clip plays OK you could delete the duplicates.
If also that fails, I'd re-import the offending clip from tape.
If also that fails, I'd start regular troubleshooting about some more widespread problem.

Unwanted freeze frames at end of clips

Hi! I use iMovie 08 v 7.1.1 (529). My project is in 16:9 format and the video I use is 1280x720px .avi files (mjpeg codec) taken with a Canon TX1 camera and imported into iPhoto's library.
I have done about ten small projects in iMovie now, some are just clips strung together with cross disolve and/or ripple transitions between them. Other projects also have a background audio track extracted from long clips.
Lately, for no apparent reason, the video in some clips in my projects freezes about 0.5 to one second before the end of the clip. The transition to the next clip goes ahead with the unwanted freeze frame, and the background audio keeps playing - thereby going out of sync. This problem is apparent both when previewing the project in iMovie before it is exported, and also in the exported videos. (I have exported using Quicktime and .mp4 format - both as .h264 and MPEG4 Improved.) The first time I noticed the problem was when I was exporting a project at 10000kbps video (which probably was a bit higher than needed). Now the problem happens all the time, regardless of bitrate.
The strange thing is, these projects exported perfectly a few days ago. Then, trying to export them again now, the freeze-frame problems occurs.
When control clicking clips in any of my projects and selecting "Reveal in event browser", I now get the message that "the event for this clip is no longer available". Asking iMovie to "Reveal in Finder" works like a charm though.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
:Marius

The following information is extracted from the FCP User Manual, and gave me an explanation to such black extra frame at the end of my edits that I used to fund too. I hope it helps you.
Learning About the Out Point Inclusive Rule
Before you begin to set In and Out points, it’s important to understand the “Out point inclusive” rule that Final Cut Pro follows, so you can avoid an unexpected extra frame at your Out point.
Out point inclusive means that when you set an Out point at the position of the playhead, the frame that the playhead is on is included in your edit. This rule means that whenever you set In and Out points, the minimum duration set is always one frame long. For example, if you place the playhead on a specific frame, and then set both an In point and an Out point, the In point is placed at the beginning of the frame and the Out point is placed at the end, resulting in a one-frame duration. If this rule did not exist, it would be
possible to create edits with zero duration, which would be useless.

Mouse freeze and sound cutting out

Since I've upgraded to OSX 10.9 (Mavericks), when I switch between open programs, my Logitech Performance MX mouse (uses USB receiver) stops responding for about 30 seconds. When this happens, the audio from my Bose speakers cuts out. While the Logitech mouse is forzen, I can still use the Apple bluetooth trackpad. To be clear, this mouse.audio chain reaciton issue doesn't happen every time I switch between open applications. It doesn't seem to happen specifically when switching out of any particular application but it does seem to happen more frequently when switching out of Firefox. But like i said, even with Firefox completely closed it still happens.
Sometimes the audio will stutter a bit and then will kick back in, but sometimes even after hours the only way to get audio is to either switch to the iMac's internal speakers, or restart the computer.
I opened the console to see what was happening when the mouse freezes and I get the following lines:
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: com_Logitech_HIPointing::terminate(kIOServiceSynchronous) timeout
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: USB Sound assertion in AppleUSBAudioStream at line 4767
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8039764000]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (478,209a)->(4a4,f26).
11/3/13 1:43:49.000 PM kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8039764000]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (4a3,209a)

Alright, so I solved this myself by changing the resolution. Would've liked to resolve it a different way, but this works for now! So, anybody else who may see my issue.... go to system preferences>display and change the resoltuion.

Laptop won't start after cutting out during an update

Dear All,
My laptop cut out during a software update (I think the battery died, although the screen readout said I had plenty of life left) and since then it won't start up. When I turn it on it just goes to the grey screen with the apple logo and the little circular symbol showing that it's thinking about something, the one that normally comes up before the sign-in box appears.
I have attempted to start from my OS X installer disc 1, but after a lot of noisey chugging, nothing further happened (except that my disc is now stuck in the drive).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hannah.singh: Both the Repair Disk routine in Disk Utility and the fsck routine that you've now run check the structure of the file system on your hard drive. In essence, they're checking to see that every item listed in the disk's invisible directory is actually where the directory says it is. Neither utility can or will alert you if a necessary file has gone missing (because, for example, an updater has deleted it and not replaced it with a new version), or if an incomplete update has left incompatible system files in place that will prevent the computer from starting up, or keep some other essential operation from being performed. These utilities aren't designed to discover whether there is actually a bootable operating system in place; they only tell you whether the disk directory matches the actual contents of the disk, and if not, whether they've been able to patch it so the two do match.
So if you were applying an update that altered any system files before it was interrupted, it's possible that the operating system on your computer is now unusable even though the directory is in fine shape and all the hardware checks out too.
Under the circumstances, I recommend starting up from your latest OS X installer CD/DVD and performing an Archive & Install.

Interlacing in freeze-frame after export

Hi,
I've come up against this problem. It looks fine while using PE, but after exporting the freeze-frame looks terrible?
Anthony

Hi Steve,
I tried a number of times to create the right preset but to no avail.
The 4 options I get in advanced settings, after selecting 'Share/Personal Computer/Still Photo' are the following:
1. The type of file (jpeg, tiff, etc)
2. Frame rate (I leave as is)
3. Progressive/Upper/Lower
4. A number of choices, the first of which is square pixels.
There doesn't seem to be any place for 'deinterlacing'
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Anthony

System freezes sometimes after logging out of x

For some reason when I go out of x the system (at that window) freezes so I cant input anything. I can kill the process from another tty. What is it that makes it so?

There it came again. Started gxine and everything froze. I could move the mouse as I wanted too, but couldnt control anything with it. The keyboard got no responses whatsoever. Tried ctrl+alt+f2, ctrl+alt+backspace and ctrl+alt+delete. Nothing worked so I had to take out the battery.
I could watch messages pop up in irc and the gkrellm worked as normal. Neither the cpu nor proc had any unusual peaks in gkrellm. The system just wouldnt take any commands.
Video is xf86-video-i810.
I am not sure about framebuffer. I dont think so.

Gigaworks S750 front channels cutting out/clipping

I'm having a problem with my Gigaworks S750. It works perfectly at low volume (~30% or less). Above that, I get horrible clipping, cutouts, and digital chatter out of the front channels. Audio passed out the headphone jack is fine regardless of volume.
I cracked open the sub and looked for burnt electronics and popped capacitors... didn't find any. I did notice that the plastic wrap on 2 of the 3 transformers looked darker than normal.
Any suggestions?

I have exactly the same problem, but I still didn't open the sub, i think everything fine there too...
I li've in Moscow, Russia and I don't know where to get fixed it even for money, anybody help!
I really love this speaker system and i don't want to have anything instead of it....

Freeze frame in the middle of a clip?

For an instructional DVD, I need to be able to freeze a frame in the middle of a clip, without the sound (as I'll put up some text messages).
I've ended up making copies of the clip, and using the hold condition, and trying to line them all up by hand, but this doesn't seem like an ideal way to do this.
Also, is there an easy way to turn off the sound for the 'hold' part of the end of a clip? Would be nice if there were a boolean I'd overlooked, but I guess I'll have to open my "Spencer's" Motion 4 book, and try to remember how audio keyframing works?

As mentioned by others, it's best to perform this effect in FCP. Bring your Motion project back into FCP and place the playhead where you want to freeze the frame. Press shift/n to create a still image in the Viewer. Blade the clip at the playhead and perform an insert edit to add the freeze frame. Cutting out the audio in FCP is easy as well and there's several ways to go about it. I would simply blade the audio at the freezing point and drag the remainder of the audio to snap to the point where the motion starts up again, depending on the type of audio effect you are looking for.
Although there aren't any behaviors in Motion that affect audio in that fashion (except for Audio fade in/out behavior) you can still edit the audio somewhat in Motion. Just go to the Audio Editor Tab and adjust the levels there or press ⌘6 to reveal the Audio Tab then right click the audio file to duplicate the audio file, set an out point for the first audio clip in the Audio Editor Tab where you want it to freeze, note the frame, and on the duplicated audio file set the in point at the same frame that was set for the first audio clips out point, then place the duplicated audio clip were you'd like the audio to resume.

Capture a frame from a video clip and save as a photo

I create a freeze frame in a video clip, select it, and cut it, but it doesn't go into the general copy/paste buffer. How can I export the frame as a photo?

Add Freeze Frame not an available option

Using iMovie 10.0.5 I have imported video from my camera and want to take a number of freeze frames. With the bar over the frame I want to freeze, I Control/click and it gives me the menu, but Add Freeze Frame is greyed out and not available. Any ideas

I have just struggled needlessly with this. Add Freeze Frame still appears in the menu if you ctrl-click a clip in the library, but it is greyed out and cannot be selected. It now also appears in the modify menu though. Drag the clip to the timeline, step the video to the frame you want, and then choose Modify > Add Freeze Frame, or option-F.

Freeze frame and video monitor

i played the timeline sequence and watched on a video monitor where some freeze frame pictures made from clips (moving images) vibrate. is there method to change ways in which i make freeze frame so that it does not vibrate/shake when viewed through a television monitor?

Hey
Your going to want to add the filter called de-interlace. Click on the freeze frame in your timeline then got to effects, video filters, video, then de-interlace. That should do it

Anamorphic timeline makes 14:9 freeze frames

Hello
I'm using FC Studio (5.0.4) and working on a DV Pal anamorphic timeline (the final footage will be played out as 16:9 fha). The problem I'm having now is that if I make a freeze frame it comes out as 14:9. This wasn't happening when I was working on it on Friday and I haven't changed any settings. Afterwards I did start working on a 16:9 fha project, but I don't think that should alter anything.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Louise

Make sure that the viewer is set to "Show Square Pixels" in the little oval button in the central top area of the Viewer on the left side of the three oval buttons.

Imovie11 splitting clips and freeze frame problems

I am having a problem with imovie11 splitting cips and using the freeze frame function. When I highlight the clip I want split, it splits a different clip either on the line below it or somewhere else in my project! Also, my freeze frame function freezes the frame where my playhead is BUT doesn't split the clip...so what I'm left with is the entire clip- then the freeze frame - then the continuation after the freeze frame. Is there a fix for this??

Remove any in or out points you have on the timeline. Place the playhead at the frame on the timeline you want to freeze, and then select Modify > Make Freeze Frame, the freeze should appear instantly in the viewer. You can then click the Overwrite button, and the freeze should now be placed on the timeline in the correct place.
Is this not happening?

Freeze frame - more efficient in Premiere or After Effects?

I've seen tutorials using both programs. I am assembling video clips to bring into after effects for a project. There will be a couple of freeze frames. In an efficient workflow, which program handles the job better?
Thanks in advance.

If you are working in Pro, use Pro.
If you are working in AE, use AE.
For making a freeze frame in Pro I cut 1 frame, hold frame, and extend.
