Variable speed with single frame

Hi, I'm animating a PNG file in a FC7 project. The image goes from one side of the screen to the other, and I would like to use the ease controls to smooth the movement, but the program does not allow me to do it in the control + J window. I can do it with a video clip, but not with this single frame animation. Is there a way a can do that?
Thanks very much for any help.

There is no speed in a still image. Instead, use the Basic Motion control to keyframe the movement. With the clip selected (highlighted in the Timeline and the Canvas window set to Image + Wireframe, right-click on the ending keyframe and choose Ease-In/Ease-Out. Ifr needed, do the same to the beginning keyframe. You can adjust the movement's behavior by manipulating the points along the path. See this for more detail: https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=ease-in+ease-out+fcp&sourceid=opera &ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest&gws_rd=ssl
Or, create the movement in Motion, which is actually better suited for such tasks.

Making a video with single frames

Hi,
I'd like to make a video with single frames.
One of my computergames is able to take 25 frames per second (or 30, 40 etc.). The game saves the frames in a folder. For one minute there are over 1000 frames.
Now I need to know, how I can tell After Effects that every 25 frames are one seconds.
I just want to make a movie of this game. This will be the easiest way if After Effects can handle with these single frames.
Is it possible? I will be very happy if some can explain me the way to realise my idea.
Sincerely,

Variable Speed and/or Frame-by-Frame Video playback with Waveform synchronization

I'm using Diadem 2011 to view data recorded in a LabVIEW Module that we have written. The function of our LabVIEW module is to simultaneously capture video from two infrared cameras and 8 channels of waveform data from a DAQ and record this data to disk. Data is recorded as two separate AVI files (compressed) and a TDMS file (using TDMS logging). Using Diadem, I use the video synchronization function to view the TDMS data and video files. I can scroll a cursor in the waveform data panel and view the video corresponding to the time selected.
I am looking for two features from Diadem that I am not sure are present: 1) A way to vary the playback speed from real-time. 2) A way to advance the video in a frame-by-frame manner. If anyone has any suggestions on how I might implement this in Diadem 2011 or can verify that these features are present, I would very much like to know.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hello Resaebiunne,
All the functions you are looking for are available in the VIEW toolbar.
For the frame reverse/forward functions, please make sure that the section with the video inside is highlighted and then use these two buttons. The "Cursor Parameters" icon let's you change the playback speed.
Hope that helps,

Slow video down to single frame, pause a few seconds, then speed back up?

I'm working with a video clip where I'd like to show a single frame for a few seconds. I think I can figure out how to slow down the video for a second or two surrounding the desired frame, but I can't figure out how to pause or freeze it at that point.
I'd like it to be fairly smooth on the slowdown, stop, and start up, I'll also have the audio slow down and stop, I think it will be a neat effect.
Any good ideas?

I'd like it to be fairly smooth on the slowdown, stop, and start up
A possibility is to use the Time Remap free filter. Use the default Mode (Variable Speed) and keyframe the Speed control from 100% to 0% on the frame you want still, and back to 100%. You can also use the Smooth contextual command on the 0% keyframe to get a smooth speed change.
What the filter does not do, though, is to change the audio speed...

Problems with variable speed

problems with clips switching from constant to variable speed.

Could you be more specific? What are you doing exactly and what is happening when you do it? Which version of FCP?

Creation of Variable with single values in BPS

Dear All,
I have a very basic requirement in creating variables that would accept single values from the user in BPS.
Could anyone pls provide me the steps in doing so?
I am able to create and use varibles with value ranges but could not find the option to create variables with single values.
Regards,
Srini.

Hi Raj,
I have already been thru SAP help file but, though it says we can create variables with single values, it does not provide any steps in creating it.
Any suggestions?

I have an Iphone 4. I have a video I took with the built in camera. Is there a way I can edit it to isolate a part of the video that I can print a single frame?

I am looking fo someone who can tell me how to edit a video taken with my Iphone 4 so i can copy/print a single frame from that video rather than the entire video. Thanks in advance

What you can do is play back the video in the Photos app, then pause it. Tap the screen to make the controls go away. Then you can take a screenshot: Quickly press then release the home and power buttons at the same time.

Error Communicating with Camera (only during variable speed playback)

I have my camera, a Sony DCR TRV480 plugged in via firewire and am playing on the camera and watching on the monitor. This works fine unless I use the "variable speed playback" option on the camera to slow down the video. Then Imovie goes blue and gives me the "error communicating with camera" message.
My videos are way too numerous and the details of fine motion too important for importing and then playing back on slow-motion to be a practical option, so please do not suggest that.
What I need is to see in Imovie what I see on the Cameras LCD.
Any ideas if its a problem with Imovie or related to limitations of firewire or the camera output or what?

Obviously, when you slow down the video, the camera isn't sending a DV compatible signal through Firewire. Since iMovie is designed to handle only DV, iMovie goes blue.
There is nothing you can do about that.
You may try "JES Deinterlacer", which produces better slow motion than iMovie. It's free.

Single frame disappears when compressing with de-interlacing turned on

I'm having trouble with a single frame - showing a lightning flash - disappearing after compression. I've found I need to turn on de-interlacing in the Inspector to avoid bad problems with the interlacing showing on edges when panning sidewards, but since I've turned de-interlacing on, this one frame disappears.
I've tried making it a freeze-frame, held for several seconds. I've tried slowly zooming in on the same frame for several seconds. I've tried putting in compression markers all over it. In all cases, the lightning flash is there in Final Cut Pro, but disappears on compression.
Any suggestions?

I dont have the answer, but rather a similair problem. If you don't mind I will add it to your blog here so hopefully someone can answer both our problems with one solution.
I have been compressing the same FCP sequence several times making only small changes to my sequence each time(adding and deleting certain photos per clients request). Now all of a sudden, one on the photos simply does not show up after being compressed. It renders just fine in FCP and exports to Compressor just fine, but after I compress it, when I play it, the two seconds of the sequence that is supposed to show a certain picture, it is just black.

Single Frame with Back and Next Jbutton support for Swing

Hi All,
I need a help regarding to th JFrame.
I have to design a tool with Back and next button with a single frame. With Next button action i should move to a new Frame content and with Back button i should back to the previous one.
How should i proceed?
Thanks a lot in advance.

1) That's a Swing question. There a {forum:id=950} forum.
2) This is a very common need. There is no built-in widget in the JDK, and a lot of custom approaches, including in libraries. Google for "Java Swing wizard"
3) If you roll your own, the simplest way, as far as the GUI layer goes, is to stuff your panels in a CardLayout, and have your buttons switch the current "card". Very simple: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html
4) The trick may be in keeping the "business logic" in sync (if for example panel 2 depends on processing info from panel 1). If you're new to java and Swing, make sure you understand objects and references

Videos now single frame with audio only

My 30g video Ipod's videos now show up under music. When I try to watch them they are just a single frame and I get the audio. The videos are fine when viewed with Itunes. How do I get my videos back to normal videos???

correction: it works fine on my ipod when I have the "TV out" setting set to "off", but I'm only getting audio on my TV when I have the setting "TV out" set to "on." It has worked fine in the past.

Measuring speed with incremental single counter

Hi,
I need to measure the rotational speed and acceleration of a wheel that has 3 hall sensors on it. I will use only 1 of them en it gives 24 pulses 0-5V for a 360° rotation. How can I measure the speed with only a pulse train. I dont have the Quadric encoder...
Now I'd like to measure the rotational speed using a counter of some sort, but the software I tried writing for it isnt working.
Thank you for your help

Hey Nitch,
Concerning the measurements errors:
As you get error when speeding up, it looks like the pulses coming from the hall sensors are to short to get measured by the counter.
Following the USB-6008 specifications, the pulse needs to have a minimum lenght of 100ns (both in high and low state).
As a counter is using edges to count the pulses (for USB-6008 only the falling edge) the edges need to comply with the TTL specifications which means that the rise and fall time of the pulse needs to be within the 50ns range.
So please have a look at the pulse lenght at higher speeds (are they at least 100ns?) and make sure the pulse comply with the TTL specifications.
If not you will have to add some additional electronics to reshape the pulses.
Looking at your program.
It's not nescesarry to have two loops. It's very well possible to have two DAQ tasks within the same look.
Have a look at the Examples which come with LabVIEW --> Exampled Finder --> Hardware Input/Output --> DAQmx --> Synchronization --> Multi-Function.
There are some examples which so the combination of analog and digital input.
Anyhow you will have to remove the right while loop as the DAQ Express VI which apparently gives you the "spanning, stroom, gashendel" values will only start once you have done the counter measurements. I assume that you would like to have the "spanning", "stroom", "gashendel" and"speed" synchronized measured.
Then you have the choice to log to file during acquisition or after the acquisition.
If you would like to log on the fly don't use the express VI's, but use the lower lever "File I/O" functions. These are faster (less processor time usage).
As you VI is written now, the left while loop will only output the lastest counter value measured to the next loop when you click the stop button for example.
You have to "Enable Indexing" of the m/s output tunnel. Right click on the tunnel and you will be able to select "Enable Indexing".
This way the application will automatically create an array and each loop iteration the measured value will be added. One the measurements have been done you can do analysis and save the data using the full array instead of point by point.
Again, also bring your "spanning, stroom and gashendel" inputs to the left loop.
In your right loop you also have a loop counter.
You can simply use the loop iteraction counter (the square box in the left bottom corner with the i). This is also counting from 0 and incrementing by 1 each loop iteration.
Again, you can do this in the left loop and forget the second loop completely.
Hopes this will bring you a step further.
Don't hesitate to post the VI itself. This is always easier to look at than an image.
This way we can also make some modications and post it back.

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?

Understanding compositions with different frame rate

Hey everyone,
I am working with AVCHD footage with a frame rate of 25.
If it drop my footage into a new compostion after affects sets everything
up automatically.
I'd now like to what happens to my avchd clip if I change the frame rate
of my compostion from 25 to 24. What excatly happens to the frame
missing? Does AE just gets rid of it?
Does it make a difference if I just change my comp settings from 25 to 24
or if I drop my 25 comp into a new one with 24.
Thinking of it the other way around, if I change my frame rate from 25 to 50,
does that mean that AE doubles the frames of my files?
In general, does the changes have any impact on the speed of my footage?
I'm looking forward to your reply. Much appreciated.
Best,
Alex
PS: this count for Premier Pro aswell?

When you create a layer in a composition, and that layer is based on a video footage item, the composition checks at each composition frame to see (sample) the data from the footage item. If there isn't a single frame of data from the footage item that exactly lines up with the frame in the composition, then the composition samples from the footage frames on either side and does one of several things: It can either just pick one of the two frames, or it can just mix them together, or it can do something much smarter and try to reconstruct the image that would have existed between the two frames.What it does depends on what frame blending setting you're using.
When you're using a footage item that has a higher frame rate than your composition, and both frame rates are relatively high, you don't need to worry about this at all, as the default settings tend to work just fine.
To sum up, changing the frame rate of the composition just changes how often the composition samples the image data from the footage item. It does nothing to the footage item itslef and doesn't affect how fast the video from that footage item plays in a layer.
To interpret a footage item as being at another frame rate, or to conform a footage item to a frame rate, you have to use the Interpret Footage dialog box.
For more information, see "Frame rate".

Copy and Paste Variable Speed Ramp Curves?

Is there any way to copy and paste variable speed ramp curves from one shot to another.
I've got a rough cut with lots of speed ramps, and now I have to conform renders that came back from Color (pre-prepped with out ramps) to the offline with the same frame ramps.
I can't seem to do it any other way than by eye match, which is less than great.
