Want frame rate of 30 fps

I create animations at 30 fps. When I put them in FCE HD the last frame is left out or black. I need to set the frame rate to 30 fps instead of the default 29.97 or maybe use non-drop fame setting. I am not sure which will work. How do I reset the frame rate to 30 or non-drop? Using Tiger on a G5.

Gary,
Drop or non-drop frame affects timecode only not the actual framerate or number of frames.
I've had a quick play at this and can't re-create the problem. I've tried with a 30fps interlaced and a 30fps progressive clip.
What are you dong with your animations after working in FCE? If you are outputting to video or DVD you are going to need to work with PAL or NTSC framerates anyway.
If you are just using FCE to edit your animations and then saving to Quicktime, etc perhaps you could try the 720p30 HDV setting. Although I don't know if the 30 really means 30fps or whether it's the same deal as NTSC (i.e. 29.97)
Or prep your material for FCE. Use Quicktime Pro to output your animations to 29.97fps. If they are progressive maybe making them interlaced might help.
Since you can't do a lot to the set-ups in FCE you're best altering your animations to suit.

How can I change to a higher frame rate than 12 FPS?

Just got a good deal on a 15 in MACBOOK Pro running Yosemite with the latest Quicktime and iMovie. Is the best frame rate I can get out of this HD camera 12fps? I can't find anywhere to change it in QT or in IMovie.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

So you seem to correctly understand the information in the linked Use More Light! article.
studiojl wrote:... I don't like that at all...
Your emotion is irrelevant. It simply works the way Apple software is written. Perhaps some other computer system works different from Mac OS X and Apple camera apps?
If you intend to keep using Mac, you can take manual control of some camera parameters by using a third party add-on app such as iGlasses, Webcam Settings, or Sight Control.
studiojl wrote: ... what frame rate does it pick if I import one 30 FPS clip and one 60 FPS clip?
Whatever frame rate is set by the program of the software application you are using to record those clips.
You can determine that frame rate by making short test videos and watching it in QT Player.
The QT "Inspector" window will show you the frame rate for the clip.
Here's an example for a clip made in my low-light room:

Error with Timecode when frame rate is 24 fps

Working on Premiere Pro CS5.5 on Mac. The frame rate/timebase of the sequence is 24 fps. When I burn in timecode on my video, timecode display becomes incorrect if I start timecode at the hour.
1) If I enter 01:00:00:00 for Starting Timecode in Effects Control, "timecode overlay" becomes 01.00.03.14
2) If I enter 02:00:00:00 for Starting Timecode in Effects Control, "timecode overlay" effect becomes 02.00.07.05
3) If I enter 03:00:00:00 for Starting Timecode in Effects Control, "timecode overlay" effect becomes 03.00.10.19 and so on.
It works fine if
a) starting timecode is 00:00;00:00 and if sequence time length is under an hour
b) or if the sequence frame rate/timebase is 23.976
This is weird. What could be causing it.
I am on a tight deadline and desperately need help resolving this.
Thanks.

Ichat Frame Rate issues, low FPS

Hi,
My Father has a G5 1.8 iMac (20") w/ iSight and Tiger, connected to the internet via a cable modem. His upload and download speed are great. When he connects to me in iChat (or anyone else) he initially hooks up at about 15 fps+, but within 5-7 sec, drops to 1 fps, and stays there. He has been unable to get greater than 1 fps sending his video, which results in quite choppy video for anyone on the receiving end.
Any ideas on how he can get his frame rate to increase? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks,
Tyler

Hi Tyler
What apps are running in the background, eg:Virex for one can take the frame rate down and is not compatible with 10.4 so uninstall it.
Also some widget's can cause frame rate loss so turn them all off to check.

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.)

Creating a Gif is different frame rate

If I have an uncompressed .AVI file that I created in After Effects CS5.5 which is 23.976 fps, and load it in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, and tell it to create a .GIF of it, at an output fps of 23.976, when I load the created .GIF into Adobe After Effects it tells me the frame rate is 25 fps and there is a black frame padded on the end. I want the frame rate of the GIF to be what I ask it to be, ie. 23.976, with no additional black frames.
Here's what happened with screenshots:
1. I load the uncompressed AVI file that was created in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 into Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5. Note below that Adobe Media Encoder is saying that the source clip is 23.976 fps, and that the export settings are to create an animated GIF at 23.976 fps.
2. After Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has said "done" (Encoding Completed Succesfully) for this export to a .GIF, if I take that .GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder has just created into Adobe After Effects CS5.5, this is what it says:
As can be seen above, Adobe After Effects CS5.5 is saying the GIF file that Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5 has just encoded is actually 25 fps, not 23.976 fps like I told it to be exported as. Also, the GIF Adobe Media Encoder has created is 10 frames long, whereas my original uncompressed AVI is 9 frames long.
Edit: I've just been reading up on the GIF format and it seems it doesn't store a frame rate but instead stores a frame delay, which is in hundredths of a second. If this is just an integer, is this the reason for the displayed frame rate discrepancy, ie. 1 frame at 23.976 fps would be 4.1708 hundredths of a second I think, and 1 frame at 25 fps would be 4 hundredths of a second I think - both rounded to the nearest integer would be 4 hundredths of a second so would the frame delay be set to "4" for both 23.976 fps and 25 fps? (there is also the fact that some short time will be taken for the drawing of the frame)
Though even with the above, it shouldn't be increasing the amount of output frames. It converts it correctly (no additional frames) if I use VirtualDub to convert the AVI to GIF instead of Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5.

Thanks. Could you get them to also check other parts of the code too. eg. when I had a work area set in Adobe After Effects CS5.5 and then loaded that project into Adobe Media Encoder (dynamic link etc.) and rendered just the work area I think it was about a frame out then too - I don't think it was a GIF in that case but another type (maybe AVI/H264).

How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
But is there a better way?
Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
many thanks
Rainer
(from austria)

iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame. This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps. However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want. After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed. I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10 By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

How can I change the frame rate mode?

Adobe Premiere Pro exports my videos with a variable frame rate. Because of this long videos are asynchronous. How can i change the frame rate mode? So Adobe Premie Pro exports my videos with a CONSTANT frame rate? The original video has a constant frame rate...

Sorry my mistakes. I am from Germany.. so...I mean with asynchronous that the video file and the sound file are displaced. In the beginning of the Video it's normal, but if the videos is very long it goes VERY "asynchronous"
I analyzed the video with "mediainfo":

After Effects CC import "Sequence Footage" frame rate settings in "Import" preferences

Just started using the new AE CC (v12 as Adobe will not refer to it as) I noticed one thing that seems to work differently from CS6 and that is in the preferences for import Sequence footage settings. It doesn't seem to work normally, at least for me. I don't know if this is an issue related to how AE CC works with the cloud but the dfault frame rate for sequence footage importing is 30fps. I am trying to import footage that is natively 23.97 at 24 fps. So like in CS6 I go to Preferences - Import - Sequence Footage - frame per second and change it from 30 to 24 frames per second. Closed the software, opened it back up, checked the settings and saw that they took, it still says 24 frames per second like I told it. But when I import a piece of 23.976 footage, it comes in at 23.976 as opposed to the 24 fps I set it as. Same goes for 30 fps footage, it comes in at 30 fps and not 24. User error is always my first assumption, I'm not proud i just want it to work, am I doing something wrong or just confused? Thanks for any help. p.s. help is not someone responding with, "I don't know" or "I don't have AECC yet". I know somebody is going to!

Hi Tim,
WOW! Thanks for the super-fast reply! As soon as I posted this I realised I should have mentioned that I am importing DPX files. I do import quicktimes as well but know that the footage import does not apply to a single file, only a sequence of files. But I still wonder if I may be either doing something wrong or am just a little confused. I have been using After Effects since CS3 doing compositing for film and I always use DPX sequences. I did a bunch of comparing and back and forth with AE CS6 and AECC while trying to figure this out. I always set my preferences up when I upgrade before I start working and I always set them up the same. I have been using CS6 since last July and it still works the same. What I did is imported five or six different DPX sequences, some were rendered out as 24 fps, some at 30 and some at 23.976. Assuming AE looks at the metadata to decide how to auto interpret, AE CC opened them all at their native frame rates of the just mentioned 24, 30 and 23.976 respectively, even though I told it to import at 24fps in the preferences. I also imported the same files in AE CS6 and they all opened at 24 fps like always. I know I can change the frame rate in the "Interpret footage" option, that is what I have been doing today so that I can work with footage in 24fps but since I have it set in the preferences to import image sequences at 24fps, I am perplexed as to why it does not do so, so I do not have to interpret the footage to my preferred frame rate, as is the case in AE CS6 as well as it was in CS 5.5 and CS 3. Since I was lucky enough to have an Adobe employee chime in Tim, I would be curious to see what you may find if you recreated this scenario. Would it be possible for you or someone at Adobe to set the sequence footage import frame rate to 24 fps in the preferences then try to open a piece of footage that is natively 23.976 fps in both AE CS6 and AE CC? Like I said, I certainly beleive I may be doing something wrong but I would be very curious to see what you find on your side. I would not be suprised if it imported at 24 fps in AE CS6 and 23.976 fps in AE CC.

Frame rate = One picture in 5 seconds?

Hi, I am capturing video from a web cam in rgb. I want to send only one picture in five seconds across the network (Frame Rate = 0,2). This does not seem to work. My code:
          Object frameRate = processor.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameRateControl");
          if(frameRate != null)
Logger.getInstanceOf().writeLog(Constants.LOG_INFO, this.getClass(), "createProcessor()", "Current frame rate is: " + String.valueOf(((FrameRateControl) frameRate).getFrameRate()) + " frames per second ...");
          FrameRateControl frc = (FrameRateControl) frameRate;
          frc.setFrameRate(0.2f);
Logger.getInstanceOf().writeLog(Constants.LOG_INFO, this.getClass(), "createProcessor()", "New frame rate is: " + String.valueOf(((FrameRateControl) frameRate).getFrameRate())+ " frames per second ...");
It seems as if I can only reduce the Frame Rate to 5. I am using a H263 video format. Does anybody know how to further reduce the frame rate?
Regards, Nik

Hi, I found the answer myself.
When you capture with RGB in Frame Rate 15 and 320x240 Dimensions and you want to transmit using H263, you can only reduce the Frame Rate to 5 FPS. I do this using the code above on a realized player. When you want to further reduce the frame rate you need to create a second processor taking the H263 Stream with 5 FPS as input. Using the code above on the second realized processor enables you to further reduce the Frame Rate.
This worked for me.
I also used the following code WITH NO SUCCESS:
     Format checkForVideoSizes(Format original, Format supported) {
          int width, height;
          Dimension size = ((VideoFormat) original).getSize();
          Format jpegFmt = new Format(VideoFormat.JPEG_RTP);
          Format h263Fmt = new Format(VideoFormat.H263_RTP);
          return (new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.H263_RTP, new Dimension(width, height),
                    Format.NOT_SPECIFIED, null, Format.NOT_SPECIFIED))
                    .intersects(supported);
Anyway ... the problem is solved.
Regards, Nik

How do I convert 1080 24p NTSC to PAL format, - whats the right frame rate ?

I have some footage* that I want to convert to PAL HD.   Currently its in NTSC HD.
What is the best frame rate / frame size to convert into? Do I have to convert it up to 50fps (or 25fps) and turn it into interlaced?

PAL is 720 x 576 pixels interlaced (bottom first).
If it's 16:9 aspect ratio, you need to select "Anamorphic" and the frame rate it 25 fps.
If you need help with Compressor settings - I use Best for everything including re-sizing - processing is slow but the result is excellent.
I believe you can use MPEG Streamclip for converting, but I have not tried it.

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 !!!!

IDVD rendering, frame rate and pixellation

I have a number of MPEG-4 movies which I handbraked from DVDs. As standalone files, these play in Quicktime player fluidly and clearly at real time - all looking fine. I've imported them into iMovie to edit bits of each which I didn't want: the iMovie preview still plays these looking good. Add transitions and chapters and save project.
I then make an iDVD project, drag the iMovie file (the one with the star) into it and it works fine, automatically displaying the correct chapters and in preview, it still looks fine. I leave it overnight to Burn DVD (which renders each movie file etc)., and the the DVD plays in my DVD player machine BUT each file is more pixellated than the original PLUS it seems to have dropped the number of frames per second. This means that although the audio and video are in synch and realtime, it looks slowed down.
My iDVD settings are for Best Performance. The project is 6GB and I used a double layer 8.5GB disc. Also set to PAL which is correct for the UK.
I have tried many methods to make this disc. Why are these movies compressed again? There doesn't seem a need to compress them. Why is the frame rate not maintained when there is plenty of room on disc to avoid compression?
All I want to do is make a viewable DVD of a collection of movies without this quality fall-off!
Is it just a simple matter of saving as disc image and burning at a slower rate (how do you do that anyway?). If so, what's the point of this software?

DVDs are heavily compressed MPEG-2 files.
If you rip a DVD using Handbrake, it will expand the MPEG-2 file into an uncompressed video file, then compress it on the fly to MPEG-4. Also, it will either retain the original 24 or 25 or 29.97 FPS frame rate, or will transcode to 25 FPS (PAL).
If you then import the MPEG-4 file into iDVD, it will take the MPEG-4 clip, uncompress it, then squeeze it back to MPEG-2, and because iDVD is intended for encoding DVDs of (especially) DV-25 material, it will transcode the frame rate to 25 FPS (PAL).
What you have done there is to take a file compressed with a lossy compression scheme, recompress it with an even lossier compression scheme, then recompress it a third time to the original compression scheme (but probably a different bit rate).
In digital video, compression artifacts (noise, blockiness, etc.) become visible with the initial compression stage. Even DV-25, which is compressed 5:1 with an adaptive sampling method, uses a 1-frame GOP (all I-frames) and is optimized for editing and post-processing, will show artifacts, especially "mosquito noise". Artifacting is worse in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, especially as the GOP length gets longer, caused by prediction errors in trying to re-create data that isn't really there. If you take this compressed MPEG-2 image, re create it, then compress it again, you will add new artifacting to the already trashy looking picture. Very quickly your picture will degrade into something significantly worse than VHS as you add compression stages. By the time you do that third compression, going MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 and back to MPEG-2, you're lucky if you have a recognizable picture at all.
If you are hacking up a DVD and you want to maintain quality, then iDVD is not the proper tool to use. Ideally you should limit yourself to editing on the GOP borders (if you're lucky, every scene starts with an I-frame...) so that you can snag a chunk of the original MPEG-2 stream and drop it unaltered into your new project. You could then burn the un-re-re-recompressed DVD compliant MPEG-2 stream back to the disc with something like Toast or Sizzle.

Frame rate, Timer & Delay

Hi,
i am still new to flash CS3 and i want to know about
something about frame rate(default 12 fps) under the properties
TAB. IF i am to create a flash board game, what frame rate should
be set for optimum performance? i am using webservice to set and
get data to SQL Server database. As webservice is passive pull
technology, i am using Timers to constantly get DATA from SQL
server after a SET event. Also, i found out that multiple Timers
with multiple delays will cause some unsuccesful updates or insert
to database, why is it so? Hope to have a reply asap. Thx.

Jon, when you convert AVI>MP4, does that compress the AVI at all or keep it the same quality as the original AVI
File size is directly proportional to the total data rate used. If the same total data rate is used for both files, them the final file size will be roughly the same. As to the case of quality where the files are the same size, this would depend on relative efficiency of the two video codecs involved. In the case of my tests, I used an H.264 video codec at slightly less than the original AVI video codec and did not note any visual difference between the two. However, I did convert to stereo (i.e., two mono channels) at twice the original audio data rate so my target file ended up 90 KBs larger.
If you have QT Pro and want to go the "extra mile," remember that you only need to convert an AVI compression format that is not already "edit" compatible with iMovie '08 to get it to import. In the case of my test file, the AVI contained M-JPEG video with DVI ADPCM audio so I could have simply exported the Adaptive AVI PCM to a Linear PCM (AIFF) file, extracted the already compatible M-JPEG track, and used the "Add to Selection & Scale" option to re-merge the original video with the converted audio to produce an iMovie '08 "edit" compatible file for import with no loss in video quality.

FCP XML to Premiere Different Frame Rate

Hello,
I have imported an FCP 7 XML into Premiere 5.04. When my sequence was in FCP it was at a frame rate of 23.976 at 720P. When it came into Premiere, though, it had changed to 59.94 fps at 720P.
I wonder how this has happened and if there is any way to change it back to 23.976 fps? Or should I just leave it as is?
I tried copying all of the clips within the 59.94 fps sequence into a new sequence that was 23.976, but this resulted in partial frame gaps (like a quarter of a frame missing). Sometimes you wouldn't even notice this during playback, but other times you do. So I assume this is not the best way to change it back to 23.976.
Thank you.
