Video frame by frame?

Since we're now being shoe-horned into using iTunes to play any and all purchased content (as opposed to the old, functional way of being able to use QuickTime Player), can anyone tell me how to advance video frame by frame (one frame at a time) in iTunes? The arrow keys don't do it, none of the "forward/reverse" buttons work, and using the mouse wheel freezes the video and jumps ahead or back several *minutes* at a time, not frame by frame.
Or is this another wonderful "feature" of iTunes 11 that I should "thank" Apple for showering down on us humble users?

Oops -- forgot to mention: this is on Snow Leopard (10.6.8).

  • How to edit videos frame-by-frame and export in H264?

    I wish to edit some videos and then export them in H264 so I can use them on a website.
    I have tried to edit with iMovie 08 but can only edit second-by-second. I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond. And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
    I have looked at iMovie 11 which has a Precision Editor which would work to edit as I want but for that I would have to upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard which I don't want. It would export H264.
    I also have QuickTime Player 7 Pro but that too seems to edit only by the second not by the frame; it does however seem to produce H264
    How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
    Thanks for any ideas

    I want to edit frame-by-frame ie to the millisecond.
    Am a bit confused by what you say. iMovie and QT 7 Pro are both "frame" level editors. However, some forms of editing are, by their very nature, applied over a range of frames which may be a part of your problem. In addition, since "normal" movies have frames which are spaced apart in the 16 to 42 ms range, your requirement to be able to edit to the nearest millisecond would seem unreasonable and would probably be unsupported for playback purposes without skipping 90+ percent of the frames on most platforms.
    And it appears that iMovie 08 does not export in H264.
    All of the "Share" and/or "Export" options (except Final Cut XML...) either default to H.264 or allow export to H.264 (or X264 if installed) video compression.
    How can I edit these videos precisely and produce H264? Is there another application which would work better (and doesn't cost a fortune).
    Difficult to say since you have not given any indication as to what you mean by "editing" here. You could, for instance, edit normal movie clips in a normal manner and then use an application like the JES Deinterlacer to change the playback time reference to achieve an effective 1 millisecond/frame playback rate you seem to want to target even though your platform cannot play every frame during playback.

  • External Video: Show Current Frame

    This isn't hugely important but since starting with FCP I have wanted to be able to show external video whenever I'm parked on a frame - i.e. not moving video. I often want "All Frames" off because it can choke on the full resolution/framerate I'm trying to assess.
    For the longest time I thought External Video / Show Current Frame was supposed to do this but just wasn't working. It eventually occurred to me that you have to shift-f12 every time you want the output updated.
    Is there a way to tell FCP to "show current frame" whenever I pause playback or step through frames?

    Another strategy is to turn off 'mirror on desktop'. That reduces the processor overhead significantly which is very useful on low power machines yet you get all your images sent to the external monitor.
    The check box can be found in: Menu Bar>Final Cut Pro>Audio/Video Settings> A/V Devices>
    Scrubbing in the Canvas works and the current frame will show up in Canvas when you stop messing around. Canvas is only bypassed when you play the timeline.
    good luck.

  • 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,

  • Advance frame-by-frame on a streaming video

    Hi,
    i've recently installed Wowza media server 2 locally, currently only for testing purposes.
    everything works fine, except of accurate seeking functionality - or in other words advancing frame-by-frame .
    when i use VLC to play my video file i have no problems advancing frame-by-frame.  however, when i use the 'seek()' function to move the playhead a fraction of a second, its seems to move only to the next key frame (meaning that only once every few mouse clicks the playhead advances dramatically).
    i thought that when using streaming video (unlike progressive download) this issue is resolved.  am i wrong?  did i miss something?
    thanks in advance,
    eRez

    II think you should post your query on Wowza forums - because this forum is for Flash Media Server and probably not best place where you can find Wowza server experts.

  • Option of viewing a video frame by frame

    Hi,
    I wanted to view a video frame by frame using JMF ( I wanted to include an option for the user either to view it frame by frame wherever necessary or just play it normally). I have seen programs in this forum for extracting the frame images of the video and saving them. But I just wanted to view them frame by frame while the video plays. When I run the program FrameAccess.java, I can see the status bar of the video moving but I cannot see the video or frames ( I just get a pink color frame). What should I do?

  • "Cannot play video with this frame rate&qu

    For reasons that aren't important here I cannot use the Zen video converting software. Instead, I've been using the trial version of the Caniusoft Video to Creative Zen converter. Only once has a video played, but as soon as I closed the video and opened it up again this message appeared. "Cannot play video with this frame rate." Daniusoft offers frame rates from 5 fps to 30. I've tried all of them and none of them work. Has this been a problem for others? Perhaps I need a different converter?
    ps.
    ..i'm converting flash video to avi. Does that make a difference?

    I can't answer your question in full (maybe somebody else can). However, I am aware that both the Zen and the Zen X-Fi can only play video files up to 320x240 resolution. Previous players like the Vision M were able to scale files down to this resolution on the fly, but not these two newer players.

  • I would like to export a video with 500 frames as a GIF

    I would like to export a video with > 500 frames as a GIF - can the upper limit be adjusted?  i'm using photoshop cs6

    Yes, choose one of the presets in the Export Settings under the format H.264 instead of mpeg4.
    Best is not to use Match Sequence Settings if you are not familiair with settings. You might end up with a preview codec, which is of lesser quality in your end product.

  • Mov files dropping video and audio frames CC 2014

    I have been experiencing playback issues in Premiere and just got off the phone with Adobe support. It appears that there is known issue with .mov files dropping video and audio frames that will likely be fixed in the next release. My entire project is .mov files and we need to get some serious editing done to complete a rough cut of our film. As a bandaid, we have reverted the playback renderer to software only and I am experimenting with different preview file formats to see if I will have less dropped frames. I want to avoid converting my media from mov files at all costs as this would be very time consuming with over 100 hours of footage.
    Please let me know if you have any other workarounds!

  • Why can't I advance a video frame-by-frame with the arrow keys?

    I am able to play a video, and to scrub through by clicking and dragging the play head, but when the video is paused, my arrow keys won't advance frame-by-frame.  Is there a place that I have to enable the arrow key function?  I've looked through the Preferences but didn't see anything.  Anybody know how to get this to work?  Thanks!!

  • Acheiving frame by frame in videos.

    Hi all, I'm trying to achieve true frame by frame but have
    run into some problems.
    To do this I have been changing the VideoDisplay and
    VideoPlayer classes. This is an AIR app set to 99 fps, and I'm
    getting an actual framerate of around 88. I have encoded videos
    into flv's using Flash CS3 Video Encoder being sure to set
    keyframes to every frame and have varied the framerate from 10 to
    30 and the video data rate too.
    When going frame by frame I have the video in a paused state.
    On click of a button the video will seek to the next keyframe
    (which should be the next actual frame). As an example, using this
    method I can only actually get an average of 19 frames in a second
    for a video encoded at 24 fps when the data rate is 2K kbs (data
    rates higher or lower will only allow me to get as low as 10 frames
    in a second). The video metadata confirms that the video is 24fps.
    I also tried a play/pause method where I perform a check
    every time the enterFrame event is dispatched by the videoPlayer (I
    get more frequent updates from this than setting the
    playheadUpdateInterval value really low) and pause if the playhead
    has advanced. My event handler gets called about 88 times a second,
    consistent with the framerate. With a 24fps video, we would expect
    the playheadTime of the video (which is == ns.time of the NetStream
    object) increase by intervals of 1000/24 = 41.667 milliseconds. But
    when I play the video and store all the playheadTime values in an
    array, I see it sometimes goes up by 14 ms, or 52ms to name a
    couple (and still get about 19 frames in a second).
    Interestingly, the playheadTimes are not always consistent.
    On one run I saw the playheadTime go from 9.9s, to 9.978, 10.109,
    to 10.135. Another time the playheadTime went from 9.9s to 10.057,
    10.109, 10.135. So we gained a frame at 10.057 but the one at 9.978
    was not "found". After a few more runs I saw that the playhead also
    reached 9.952s, and 10.031s. So consider: 9.900, 9.952, 9.978,
    10.031, 10.057, 10.109, 10.135. This range has playhead increments
    of 52ms, 26ms, 53ms, 26ms, 52ms, 26ms.
    So the playhead increments are not consistent. That's fine.
    But the playheadTime times themselves do not always exist, or the
    Video.as class is not reading the .flv file consistently, or the
    NetStream class is not updating the time property correctly,
    or.....? Unfortunately Video.as is an intrinsic Flash class and I
    don't have access to it, nor do I have access to NetStream.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Or see something I missed?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I've kind of
    burned out on getting this to work. Thanks.

    Yes I would like to be able to do this again. Can itunes use Quicktime 7 as its video player?

  • Accessing both video fields of frame in workspace?

    Is it possible to access both video fields of the frame within the workspace of PP CS6?

    Hi Thomas,
    If you are asking if you can somehow "edit" at the field level, then no. But if you want to see the full frame (combined fields), in the Program Monitor, right-click in it (or Mac equivalent) or there is a wrench there to click on as well, and in the drop down list, look at Fields options and set to BOTH rather than upper or lower.
    Thanks

    I want to step through a .mov file frame-by-frame looking at geometry of an aircraft in the video to establish the rotational speed of the propeller.  This should be fairly straightforward by looking at how much the propeller moves between each frame and using the exposure time of each frame.
    However the .mov file is from an iPhone 4S and looking at the details, has a variable frame rate.  What I need to know is the duration that each frame is displayed for in order to do my analysis.  Does anyone know how to find out this information?

  • Frame by Frame editing of Video in PSE

    Hi and good morning and Happy New Year to all @ Adobe Support,
    I have had more versions of Adobe PSE than I really like to think about, not to mention other various Adobe products.
    To go directly to my question, I had thought that I had used PSE to edit frame by frame videos ?
    Have I gone bonkers ? I just purchased PSE and PE to make sure I could edit a few short videos that I wanted to draw in simple things like lines, drops, arrows, etc. Now it seems I have two products that both can't accomplish this and apparently I cannot get a straight answer to what I should have on your site or in the forum or anywhere else, for that fact. I'm hoping you are not going to tell me I need a 500 dollar program to do this ! I only have a dozen videos I would like to paint or draw in and the last time I needed this was 1992 or there abouts. I am a Mac user and currently have 10.9.1 installed. Just for your information the installation went of without a hitch for both products on Mavericks and appear to be working fine, aside from the fact I can't frame edit videos in either one.
    Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter,
    Wade Arnold
    Apple and Adobe Enthusiast

    The most recent version of PSE removed the ability to import a frame from a video file. I suspect this is what you were thinking of.
    However I assume by 'PE' you mean Premiere Elements (PRE), the video editor. You can still export a clip from PRE as a sequence of still images that you can then edit in PSE and reimport back to PRE. This is in Publish+Share> Computer> Image> Advanced, check 'Export as sequence'.
    However from your description you might be better off using the tools in Titler within PRE to draw your lines and arrows - this is way simpler than doing so frame by frame in PSE.
    Cheers,
