Video frame rate issues

When I watch flash videos (mostly in hd and from youtube or gametrailers) in full screen, the frame rate becomes noticably slower. I have tried the 10.1 beta3 and this fixes the frame rate issue, but several times per video the image garbles. Everything runs fine outside of fullscreen. Otherwise I'm using Vista/Win7 64 bit with a 2.6 ghz Core 2 Duo, a radeon 4850 (latest drivers), and 2+ gigs of free memory. When running 10.1 without hardware acceleration or earlier versions with default settings my cpu usage never goes above 20% on each core. Does anyone know how to fix the image garblng or low framerates while in full screen?
Thank you in advance!

This is the tearing that I get with acceleration enabled

Video frame rate issue

I downloaded some clips from Gettyimages to put together a mock clip. Once I finished the clip I bought the clips from them and replaced the media in my timeline. My problem is that I can't afford to buy the 30fps videos and I'm stuck with the 15fps clips. Is there a way I can make footage look less choppy? Is there anyway I can adjust the FPS in the FCP timeline?

What? They sell 15fps clips for cheaper? I didn't think they sold anything other than full res. And they are an EXPENSIVE place to go. Is this a web clip deal of some sort?
Adjusting the frame rate won't make up frame information that isn't there. 15fps turned into 30fps will just show each frame twice. Frame Blending might help, but it also might make it look odd.

Frame rate issues when displaying video on 50" Plasma

I've been using my Mac Mini (Late 2009) as a media centre since I bought it in Dec 2009. Until recently it's been great working with everything I throw at it.
Over the last two weeks though I've noticed issues with lower frame rates and jerky video performance. When I try to watch a film full-screen on my 50" tv I get a much reduced frame rate to the point that I'm using it less and less as a media centre. When I run them windowed the frame rate issue is still present but less apparent than when I run it full screen.
During full-screen playback my processors are at 85%-90% capacity.

I've been trying it with the digital version of Tron Legacy (m4v format, 1.84GB, 854 x 480) and more simple .avi files ripped from my dvd collection and get the same result.
Action Taken
I've reinstalled the 10.6.7 combo
Run ONYX to update to preferences etc
Ran TechTools to check any memory issues
Looking for any tips as this is really confusing me. My next step is to wipe the entire system and start again but I only did this a couple of months ago so I'm not keen to try again.

yeah I'm kinda limited, working with video for the web and I'm making revisions as to what has been already posted. The H264s are the originals per say as we are using a screen capturing program to obtain the video, I could re export the originals at a truer format, but with the resources I'm given, its not truly the option I can afford to take. I've found a workaround through using imovie of all things, but I rather be in FCP. I've done some editing with h264s before and this is the first time I've seen this happen, it kind of reminds me of when I had an editor a few years back digitize video that was drop frame as non-drop.

Importing video Frame Rate Off???

I am importing video which was shot on a DVX 100 at 24p the image plays fine on my playback deck but when I Play the digitized footage in FC it appears to be in fast forward... Not sure if this is a Frame Rate Issue???

I don't understand. Did the captured clips playback fine in fcp last night? How did you digitize them? You need to either use the correct capture preset in fcp or modify an existing preset. If you're using another piece of software to capture, you gotta let us know this info.

Final Cut Pro dropped frame rate issue

Hi there, i currently shot a short film on the canon 5d mark II 30fps and i am trying to edit it in final cut studio 2. I have recently bought the new macbook pro 15inch 2gb module.
Now the canon footage is h.264 but when importing the clips into final cut pro 6 there is a lot of dropped frame rate issues but I thought this machine could handle HD footage?
Can someone more advanced than myself recommend what i am doing wrong or a work flow that i can work with to stop dropped frame rates and render times.
Last piece of information, the project will be entered in film festivals in the spring its only a 3 minute short and i have 5 folders of footage under 4gb each which was taken from the camera
Thanks for your help.

You are missing a huge conceptual point. If the file can not spool off of the hard drive fast enough, you get dropped frames. It isn't a processor or ram issue right now, it is a hard drive speed issue. Your system drive is overtaxed trying to run OSX, applications AND spool video. It just can't keep up. Changing the graphic card isn't going to help (and how do you change the card in a laptop?)
Get an external esata drive - with the new MacBookPro you'll need an esata Expresscard34 adapter for the computer to connect the drive. Firewire is not an option with that machine and USB2 will not cut it with high data rate formats like ProRes.
When you drop in the ProRes clip to the timeline and it tells you there is a mismatch, this means your preset for the timeline is something other than your clip. You WANT ProRes and you need the sequence to match your clip - tell the program to CHANGE the sequence to match the clip.
Video is not easy and it isn't inexpensive. Time to open up those manuals and your wallet!
Good luck,

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,

Premiere Pro CS6 for Broadcast ProRes HQ Frame rate issues

I switched from Avid to work on a quick project with DSLR footage shot on the 5D Mark III at 29.97 psf which is not to be confused with 29.97i, a standard frame rate necessary for broadcast. So the commercial spot was cut together, I punched in the proper settings (the very same settings that work with Avid 6.0+ and Final Cut Pro 7), and hit export. When exporting either a Quicktime Animation or Pro Res file from Premiere Pro CS6, premiere creates a file with a faulty framerate, it comes out as 28.4 instead of 29.97. I thought I was going crazy, but no, there are tons of documented experiences with 23.94 being 20-something, and on an on. It seems as if Adobe did not do a good enough job with integrating the Pro Res codec into their software. The only way I could get around it was to export to something else (Blu-ray H.264 at 29.97), and then re-encode that file to Pro Res HQ with either compressor or adobe media encoder. The problem lies in exporting progressive footage as interlaced, it just completely screws up the frame rate. The worst bit is that, I need Pro Res HQ for the distribution house for the commercial spots, they require the ProRes HQ MOV at 29.97i and if anything is off, I get charged for it.
Does anyone else have problems with Adobe Premiere lacking on the professional end? Or similar experience with this problem?
Just do a search for pro res frame rate issue premiere and you will see a lot of other users with the same issue.

DVCPro HD frame rate issues

I'm sure that this question has been asked before, but I performed a couple searches and couldn't find a thread to perfectly answer it.
I have a tape that was shot (with the Pansasonic HDX900, shot to tape and not P2) at two formats, 720/24P and 720/60P. Most of the tape was shot at 24P, but the cameraman shot a few minutes shot at 60P to create slow motion. Both 24P and 60P are on the same tape. I am capturing directly from the camera, not from a deck. I have a couple issues:
1.) My device control through FCP does not seem to be working, so I can only capture with "capture now." My device control setting seems to be right (DVCPro Firewire), and I've tried to restarting FCP and the camera. It doesn't seem like this is a trash-the-prefs issue, so does anyone have any thoughts? I have driven the camera's deck through FCP before.
2.) What is the best way to work with the different frame rates? Right now it captures at 60P no matter which capture setting I have it set at (when shot at 24P it duplicates frames to make it 60P). Is this a result of mixing formats on the same tape?
I'm a little lost, thanks.
Stef

It doesn't have that function and after consulting the manual (again) I am beginning to believe that playback control is only possible internally to the camera, rather than externally from another device. It doesn't explicitly state this, but the manual DOES specifically mention the record start/stop functions but has no mention of playback start and stop.
That said, the larger issue at the moment and for the future is the frame rate issue.

Frame Rate Issue Exporting .mp4 using h.264 compression

I really like the h.264 codec, but I have to use Quicktime Conversion, instead of QT Movie, when I export. I get a 'Codec Error' when I try to export as a QT Movie. That is the first problem, but I work around it.
The frame rate issue comes up when I try to export at larger screen sizes like 640x480. I have no problems at 320x240, but when I move up to the larger screen sizes the resultant QT mp4 plays back at 1/2 the specified frame rate, no matter what frame rate I try. It is really bizarre.
I tried lowering the key frame number to reduce the processor load on playback, but this had no effect. This was a tip I picked up here.
I tried lowering the bit rate, too. The only thing that 'fixes' it is to go back to the lower screen size.
The problem is reproducible when the file is played on other (faster) computers.
Any ideas?
thx

Video problems in DVD SP burned DVDs - FCP frame rate issue?

Please help! We have a 99 minute feature project that we shot in 24p (NOT 24pa) on a DVX100, imported the footage into FCP in 29.97fps, and edited in a 24fps sequence timeline. When we exported the sequence through compressor (DVD High Quality 120min 4:3 option) to create the 23.98fps mpeg-2 and burned it to a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (with aiff audio because DVD SP had a problem importing the Dolby file for some reason), the movie image had blurring or ghosting when played on a dvd player and looked very "digital" (not like 24p).
After reading several postings on here, we thought the problem may have been because we were coming from a 24p timeline. Following a suggestion made to another post, we exported the 24fps sequence into a Quicktime movie and then imported that back into FCP and put it in a 29.97fps timeline. It needed rendering and we did that. Then we exported the new 29.97 sequence through Compressor into a 29.97 mpeg-2 and burned with DVD SP. When played on a DVD player, the video looked better this time, but appears to be moving in a sort of slow motion.
Because of the length of the project, we've been using dual layer DVDs, but the break point doesn't seem to be causing any problems. Also, we've slightly decreased the "Average Bit Rate" in Compressor from 5 to 4.5 before creating the mpeg-2, etc. files because the default description of the 120min high quality setting said "90 minutes of video with AIFF on DVD-5" and our movie is 99min. Taking it down to 4.5 changed the default description to "102 or 103 minutes".
Each time we burn, the video and audio seem to be completely in sync... it looks as though the problem is with the speed and I don't know at this point if this is frame rate, bit rate, pulldown, method of burning (i.e. DVD SP rather than something like Toast).
Sorry for the long post but I wanted to try and include all the info I could. If anything is unclear or I left anything out, please ask. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you thrillcat and Silal! Getting rid of the render files and then copying the 24 sequence into the new 29.97 sequence worked like a charm. There were some minor things to fix (small gaps between certain cuts, audio and video clips that needed to be lengthened or cut by a couple of frames) but overall very painless... especially when compaired with the prospect of having to re-edit or re-import all our footage (as the guy from Apple tech support suggested).
On the advice of our sound editor, we exported the 29.97 sequence using Quicktime Conversion into a DV Stream choosing DVC Pro in the Options field. We then burned the resulting file onto a regular 4.7GB DVD using DVD Studio Pro. And PRESTO, our movie was back in its wonderful 24p state!
I greatly appreciate everyone's help. Thanks again!

FCE4 and frame rate issues

Hi All,
I'm totally new to FCE and video editing in general, and have dived in with two feet. I'm trying to edit some screencasts I have produced. My main aim is to cut out dead sections of the screencast and add a voiceover to them. I tried various screencast-specific bits of software, but they didn't seem to allow much in terms of editing, and one (Camtasia Mac) decided to eat a day's worth of work by corrupting the saved file.
So, I thought I'd grab a copy of FCE and give that a try. I've bought Tom Wolsky's FCE4 Editing Workshop Book (whose name lead me to this forum). I was also quite interested in the voiceover feature that FCE has, as that should come in useful as that is the main reason I'm editing these screencasts in the first place.
The main issue's I've been having is that FCE is intended for DV editing, and I'm trying to edit a screencast, so I'm going slightly against the flow here. e.g. my screencast was captured using QT X at 1024x768. Which FCE can't deal with (I only found out after buying FCE... I head FCP can deal with non-DV standard frame sizes, but it beyond my budget). So I've been using MPEG streamclip pretty successfully to convert the H.264 source into Apple Intermediate scaled down and padded to 1280x720. I can then export from FCE back into Apple Intermediate and into MPEG Streamclip to crop off the pillarboxes and save to the final output format.
I've come to the conclusion that as long as I can get my source material into what FCE expects from a DV cam then it seems to handle it OK.
Some of the test clips I imported into FCE seemed to work fine, but then the longer full length source (about an hour) had trouble. The speed had gone all funny. I looks like the screencast source is at around 4.6fps and FCE decided that it should really be 46fps! One of the test clips appeared to be 5fps, and FCE seemed to be OK with that and kept it at 5fps.
I'm currently re-converting the source with MPEG Streamclip to 29.97fps and hopefully that will import OK (even though it is taking ages to convert and I'm writing this sitting here patiently!).
So was wondering if anyone know what the deal is with frame rates in FCE. Why does it sometimes seem happy with my low 5fps rate, and sometimes it decides it should be 10x faster. And does anyone else have any further comments or suggestions/tips about using FCE for editing screencasts?
Thanks,
Matt

Tom, thanks for the help. I'm currently running it through Streamclip now as I type. Hopefully that should sort it. I guess screen capture software use a lower frame rate as they don't need to have a high frame rate usually for the stuff they are doing.
-Matt
PS. btw... great book! Certainly helped me get orientation around FCE. Definately needed as I had no experience of video editing and the workflows and terminology is all foreign!

Belkin Pre-N F5D8230-4 v2, slow video frame rate

After years of faithful service from my D-Link DI-713P, the wired-ethernet switch (to which my iMac was connected) stopped working. I bought a new Belkin Pre-N F5D8230-4 v2 to replace it, and both the wired and wireless connections work fine... except with iChat. I can get a connection (e.g. to appleu3test01), but the frame rate is painfully slow. Running through the router, I get <15fps, <70kbps. Connected directly to my DSL modem through PPPoE, I get 30fps, >700kpbs; same performance as with my old D-Link router before it croaked. This seems to me to be a clear indication that the problem is the router, not my iMac, the DSL modem, or the ISP (SBCGlobal.net).
Things I have tried to solve the problem.
1. Port mapping all the iChat TCP and UDP ports listed in numerous locations in this discussion group, Apple support, portforward.com, etc.
2. Enabling UPNP with and without the port mapping enabled.
3. Operating through DMZ.
4. Unbind SIP from port 5060 (see Ralph Johns' very helpful site: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text). I was not able to telnet into the router (connection refused), and I couldn't find any SIP configuration on the web interface to the router, so I actually didn't get to try this. I don't have VoIP, and I'm not aware that SBC offers it, so I doubt that this is the problem.
5. Ensured that iChat ports are allowed in OS X firewall.
Any of these configurations enable me to make an iChat video connection, but all with slow frame rates.
One other bit of information that might be helpful to someone who understands all this a bit better than I is the entries that are generated in the Belkin firewall security log when I run iChat:
DoS log:
2005-10-16 08:17:59 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) LAN to WAN 192.168.2.2:16384->17.202.39.141:16384 [Drop]
2005-10-16 08:17:59 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) WAN to LAN 17.202.39.141:16384->71.131.221.23:32784 [Drop]
2005-2005-10-16 08:18:00 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) LAN to WAN 192.168.2.2:16386->17.202.39.141:16386 [Drop]
2005-10-16 08:18:00 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) WAN to LAN 17.202.39.141:16386->71.131.221.23:33811 [Drop]
It would seem that the firewall considers the iChat traffic on 16384 and 16386 to be denial-of-service attacks. Shouldn't the port mapping prevent this? If this were the only problem, wouldn't operating in DMZ avoid this problem?
I have not yet tried changing the firmware version of the router, in part because there seems to be some confusion about what the latest version is: web site lists 1.01.03 with a date of September 2005, but my installed version is 2.00.06. Apparently a version 1.01.04 was released but then retracted, and 1.01.03 is from January 2005, not September. Revision control does not seem to be Belkin's strong suit. Right now I have nothing to lose, so loading 1.01.03 may well be my next step.
Some configuration details:
iMac, PowerPC G4 (3.3), 1.25 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 167 MHz bus
OS: OS X 10.3.9 with all security updates as of 2005-10-16
connection method: SBCGlobal ADSL through Speedstream 5260 ADSL modem through Belkin FSD8230-4 router through ethernet to iMac
connection speed: 1214 kbps down, 306kpbs up
software: iChat 2.1 (v153)
camera: Canon ELURA70
Router info:
     Firmware Version 2.00.06
     Boot Version 1.00.00
     Hardware F5D8230-4 v2
Is anyone getting good performance with iChat and this model Belkin router? Any other clever configuration ideas to try?
- Fry -

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for the reply. I re-read your page on SIP and realize that it was a modem (not router) issue after I posted. Dohh! Thanks for being so polite.
I agree that the DoS seems like the key, and hopefully the specific security log messages will facilitate useful feedback from the Belkin tech support folks to whom I sent a copy of my post.
I tried turning on WAN Ping Blocking - no change. The System Settings tab allows me to set the password, date/time, and enable/disable of remote management, NAT, UPNP, and auto-update for the firmware. Of those I have only switched UPNP on and off. Unfortunately there is nothing on packet size settings anywhere that I could find.
I tossed the packaging for the router, so I may not be able to return it easily. If this is the case, and Belkin (or someone in the forum) doesn't come through with a solution, I was thinking of buying an inexpensive wired router to connect between the modem and the iMac, and also run the Belkin off of the wired router for wireless access. Are there well-known problems daisy-chaining routers like this?
The obvious alternative would be to sell the Belkin (to some non iChat user) and replace it with something known to work well with iChat. I read a recommendation for the Netgear DG834G in another posting, which could also take the place of my Speedstream modem (although there is nothing wrong with it). Any other recommendations from this wise community?
For the time being I am switching between the router routine tasks and direct-to-modem with PPPoE for iChat. Not elegant, not easy to teach to spouse, but it works.
Cheers,
- Fry -

Frame Rate Issue on ATV3

I've had my ATV3 for about 8 months now. I use it very often to stream HD content from my computer. I do this over iTunes via Home Sharing. It was working great, but recently I've noticed it's suffering from jerky frame rates. It's not constant, but when there's lots of movement on screen, the screen stutters occasionally. This problem does not occur on netflix or for lower quality content over homesharing. It's a recent problem insofar as the same videos would play fine for the 7ish months of usage.
It's not a buffering problem either. The movie has loaded, the screen just stutters in sections of videos with lots of movement. Anyone have any ideas on what the problem might be? Is my ATV3 wearing out from only 7 months of (extensive) use? Perhaps it's related to some updates? Afaik the issue did seem to coincide somewhat with installing some updates, although I cannot say for sure. Thoughts? Potential solutions?

Found this, applied it - and it works.

Re: ATV3 framedrops after 6.1 update
Mar 23, 2014 5:53 PM (in response to YannieNL)
If you have one of the original Apple TV 3rd generations you can downgrade to a firmware released in June. Apple released a small revision in 2013 that they didn't announce. You can't even tell by looking at the ATV.
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/01...minor-upgrade/
If you have the 3,1 version Apple is still signing an older version software released in June. Google "Apple TV Firmware Links" and it'll be something with "xxx.icj.me/xxx/xxxx" for an address. You can get the older version from there. It's the one with a green check mark (6.1.4 is what it's listed as) I'm not going to link the site because I don't think Apple allows that on their own forums. Just downgraded my ATV and it's working like before now. You'll need a microusb and the power cord.
1. Open iTunes
2. Connect ATV via MicroUSB
3. Connect Power Cord
4. When ATV shows in iTunes hold 'Option' and click restore then point it to the old FW you downloaded.
Worked for me. Hope it works for some other people."
Not the most elegant solution but a solution none the less.

IPad mini retina - native video frame rate

I'm trying to shoot 30fps HD video with my iPad mini (Retina). I was under the impression that the iPad mini's native video format is 30fps. But when I import my footage into iPhoto, it turns out to be only 24fps.
So - what's the Mini's correct native video format (including frame rate)? Is there an easy way to change the capture rate? Is there an app that allows capture at different frame rates?

Try this. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will not lose any data, but you will have to re enter all of the iPad preferred settings that you entered in the settings app.

Problems editing ProRes 422 in FCPX– ? Frame rate issue?

I cannot edit video I import into FCPX except by using the Proxy media option in preferences.
I'm recording video from my HCX920 camcorder to Apple ProRes 422 format with Wirecast as the recording app during simultaneous live broadcasting.
The Wirecast encoding settings are set at: ProRes 422; 1920x1080; 29.97 fps for video and the audio is encoded as 24-bit integer; 48kHZ; 16-bit sample rate.
The video feed from the camera is 1080i at 59.94 fps.
The raw video file is identified as "Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM" in Get Info. In QT 7 the FPS is listed as "29.81" Playing fps with the movie playing ranges from 28-30fps.
After I've imported the video to FCPX the "Project Properties" shows the video to be "1920x1080 | 59.94p". It seems that FCPX is importing the video recorded at 29.97 as if it were recorded at 59.97fps. Is FCPX transcoding my video to a higher frame rate?
I am unable to play the movie once it is placed into the timeline. It immediately stutters and shows the dropped frame warning. I am running FCPX on a Quad-Core Mac Pro with 20GB of RAM. The only way I can play the clip is by creating proxy media and choosing this in preferences.
What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
John

Kevin,
No, I was never able to get this problem worked out. It caused me to pull my hair out. When I compared the video quality of the ProRes output from Wirecast with the video recorded in AVHCD format on my camera's SDHC card the difference was dramatic. So I've stopped simultaneous ProRes recording in Wirecast and I now import the AVHCD material into FCPX from my camcorder's card.
I do, however, record the audio from my Wirecast broadcast and synch it with the video from the camera. The audio captured by the camera's built in mechanism is abysmally poor. This causes me more work but the final output is far superior to what I was getting from my Wirecast recordings regardless of format.
I wish I could help or offer more encouragement.
John
