Wav sound and frame rate problem

I have a wav file sound that I'm using within a movie clip in
the movie clip's timeline. When I test the movie from within Flash
(command-return), everything works great. When I publish and view
online, here's what happens.
If I click a button to move to another frame in the movie
while the sound is playing, the frame rate speeds up and the movie
gets a "fast forward" look to it until the sound ends. If I click a
button when the sound is not playing, everything is fine. Am I
missing something in the publish settings? Do I need to stop the
sound in AS3 on the CLICK events (and if so, how)?
Thanks,

You will have to use Compressor...and the Advanced Conversion settings...DVCPRO HD 720p24. But you will also need to go into the FRAME controls in the INSPECTOR and make sure that you make it progressive and that you changes all the settings to better or best. This means that it will take a while, but it will look better.

Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
1280x720
frame rate of 23.976
using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
"embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
-Mike

Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

Ghosting effect - Is it a frame rate problem?

I've just made a music video lyric video (I'm still really new to movie editing) and there's this ghosting effect. Does anyone know what may cause it? Is it a frame rate problem, or the frame blend thing?
Here's the cliup on YouTube: (You can really see the ghosting when you watch it in HD.)
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 (32 bit)

hmm, looks like you need to read a few things maybe...to understand some stuff.
Here's some links I got from google for you
NTSC
Short for National Television System Committee. The NTSC is responsible for setting television and video standards in the United States (in Europe and the rest of the world, the dominant television standards are PAL and SECAM). The NTSC standard for television defines a composite video signal with a refresh rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525 lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
The NTSC standard is incompatible with most computer video standards, which generally use RGB video signals
============
info about aspect ratios... and better to scale down than up...or just stay the same as source.
http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-camtasia-understanding-dimensions-prior.html
================
Soooo, you didnt export ntsc and it looks like you upscaled to 1080p but a different fps than original also.
In gereral if you start at say 24fps and make it 30fps, your editor has to "make" new frames ( add 6 per second ) and it does that by creating new frames out of what you have on timeline. Sometimes a VBR 2 pass will give you better results than 1 pass, but you have to experiment a bit ( just export small section of timeline for tests...and try to use area where you see your "ghosting" ).
good luck

JMF Dimension and frame rate

Why I'm not getting success when I try to determinate the Dimension and frame rate of the VideoFormat passing the parameters to the constructor ?
processor.setContentDescriptor(new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.MSVIDEO));
TrackControl tracks[] = processor.getTrackControls();
float rate = Math.abs(Float.parseFloat(jcbQuadrosSegundo.getSelectedItem().toString()));
VideoFormat vf = new VideoFormat(VideoFormat.H263, getTamanho(), Format.NOT_SPECIFIED, Format.byteArray, rate);
FormatControl fc = (FormatControl) tracks[0];
Format f = fc.setFormat(vf);
tracks[0].setEnabled(false);
processor.realize();
...getTamanho() return an Dimension that indicates de width and height.
jcbQuadrosSegundo is an JComboBox.
Thanks !!

Skype is generally on autopilot. I believe 1920x1080 (1080p) would be the max resolution as far as I can recall. If the Internet connection isn't good enough at both ends, it will drop down to the resolution the call can handle. The max resolution of the mobile device would be dependent on the hardware and the Skype client. The webcam resolution compatibility is sometimes dependent on the version Skype. Some people achieve better compatibility with the desktop version 6.1 vs the current 6.3. If you want to monitor the resolution you can view the call technical info. It will display the current resolution of both feeds and other call stats.
This external site has some good info on it, though a bit dated, it should provide some insight. I'm not sure if any of the mobile resolutions have been updated greater than 320x240.

It is possible synchronize sound and frame exactly at the same time?

I need to change a frame in relation to a sound, and I need to do this more exactly possible.
I try something like this:
on changeFrame
if sound(1).mostRecentCuePoint = 1 then
    go to frame "1"
end if
if sound(1).mostRecentCuePoint = 2 then
    go to frame "2"
end if
..... and so on
I try also this:
on changeFrame
    if member("Tempo1").cuePointTimes[2] then
     go to frame "2"
   end if
With this method sometime the sincronization between soud and frame is not exact.
Is there a way to synchronize sound and frame exactly at the same time?
Thank you.

Frame Rate Problems in CS4

I am a student and I use CS4 on a Mac on one of the schools computers. One of the animation projects I am working I need to animate a music video.
To do this I calculated out the BPM of the song and set the frame rate at 23.3 FPS so that I would have 20 Frames between beats. Then to have a visual representation of the timing I set a layer that has a red dot blink for 2 frames every 20 frames starting on the first beat. With it set up like this and I run the animation in Flash it keeps time correctly and works. However, when I test the video the time is off. I tried changing the frame rate to 60fps as an arbitrary number to see if adjusting the frame rate had any affect of the test file but when I tested the video at 60fps it did not run any faster than before. I asked my professor about the problem but he doesn't know. I exported the video to a SWF and MOV file but it was still off.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

use a timer to display your dot so you can control its timing more accurately. that said, the only elementary way to sync audio and visual in flash is to add the audio to your timeline and assign a sync of "stream".
note: that's not the best way to use sound in flash but it's the only easy way to sync sound/visuals.

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.)

Live! Cam Video IM Pro VF0410 Frame Rate Problem

Hello I'm from Turkey sorry for my English first. I bought this camera yesterday and i tried it on 2 PC.First one is using Win Vista Home Premium (4Gb RAM + Core 2 Duo E6750),second one is Win XP Home (Gb Ram + Pentium M .8). In these PC's i can't get more than 4 or 5 FPS. I only saw 8 FPS for one second. I downloaded the?latest drivers from the site which is v.0.0 (2.68 Mb).Nothing changed it is 4 FPS again.What can i do what is this problem. Is my camera faulty ?

I too have the same problem. It seems to be a flaw with the software or the hardware. If you disable the auto exposure setting the frame rate will still site at 4-5 fps.
If you then move the exposure slider to the far left and then back to the right the frame rate will immediatley increase to 20-30 fps, but the exposure is quite poor even with the adjustment of brightness, contrast, etc. Is this a software bug or a hardware flaw?

Photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 Camera frame rate problem.

Hi,
I have a photon Focus MV-D1024E-160-CL-12 camera connected with a PCI2-1429 board. I trigger my camera externally using a NI-DAQ and an I/O board to the camera. I am having a problem with the frame rate of my camera. In the manual it says that the camera can operate at 150 fps. When I am triggering at 10Hz the camera works fine. But when I trigger it at 100 Hz the camera does not give me the required fps. I am imaging an analog clock to measure the fps. When I am triggering at 100 Hz I should get just 1sec in images but instead I am getting images of 3sec. I am using the NI-IMAQ sequence example for it. Is it a software problem (e.g. buffer allocation etc) or a hardware limitation.
Regards,
Farhan Ahmad.

Hello Farhan,
You can use the Calculate FPS VI here to display the number of frames/second for your camera.

Multiple formats and frame rates in one sequence

i have material shot on many different cameras. it includes PAL and NTSC, HD and SD, 24, 25, 30, and 60 fps, ProRes, DCVProHD, DVCam, etc etc. the final product is going to HD in both NTSC 24fps and Pal 25fps, for NatGeo domestic and international.
the roughs are already done with this hodgepodge. my job is to clean up the audio (done), and send the video out in for color, titles, and graphics. i'm trying to get at least the frame rates to match at 24, much of it is already in 24 dvcprohd or prores, so i have been doing quicktime exports of the non-dvcprohd/prores video to prores, then conforming to 24p in cinema tools, then overlaying the clips in the sequence with a fit to fill edit. sync has not been a problem, miraculously, even though the speeds end up between 100 and 125 percent.
am i doing anything right, and if not, what's a preferable way to handle this mess? i tried media manager initially but nothing would relink, so i gave up and started doing the clips individually as stated above.
all i know for sure is that whatever i end up doing, they're not paying me nearly enough.

Hi Shane - Thanks for getting back to me! I figured I'd have to compress it, but
my question is - how? Initially, I used MPEG Streamclip to import the 23.98 dvd footage in as a DV/DVC Pro QT at 100% Best Quality. I then imported those files into FCP. After getting your e-mail, I went to export the files into Compressor (from FCP), and I'm only given 5 setting choices under "QT." I'm not sure which one to select . . . Uncompressed 10 bit? Any ideas? Again, thanks so much!!!

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 !!!!

Which format and frame rate should I use?

So I have worked here and there with final cut to make videos for live projections at music shows, but now I want to take it more seriously. Since I have done it randomly I didn't mind taking the time to render constantly and figure it out as I go. But now I want to work on larger projects, like making music videos, a little more consistently and want things to run a little faster.
Basically I have about 200 gb of random footage. Or about 400 little videos. Very little of it is actually shot with a camera on my own. Most of it is collected video from either other people, or downloaded off the internet. Tons of things that are in the public domain that I want to use. My videos are pretty fast paced, almost seizure inducing sort of effects. I layer videos with each other and throw filters on everything. The problem is, the rendering is taking so much time out of everything. Is there a way for me to get around the rendering? Either by a certain setting within final cut, or just by converting all my video to one format? If I had to I would invest the time to convert every single video I have to some sort of format that would allow me to work faster. If so, which format should I use? Frame rate? etc.
I would just like to get this out of the way so in the future I can convert videos to the right format. Just to allow some sort of flow within my workspace.

FCE frame rate problem?!

Hi, if someone could help me with this asap that would be so helpful?!
Basically I'm having a problem with the frame rate in Final Cut Express. I was using 3 different Sequences to edit different clips/audio in. I then wanted to put them all in to the same Sequence but when I did the clips were flashing different colours and wouldn't play properly. All of the clips were 30fps however the project frame rate was 29.97fps? How did the frame rate of the project change because I didn't know you could change it and how can I change it back?! Thansk :-)

29.97fps is the actual frame rate for NTSC (North American) video. It has historically been called "30fps" for convenience sake. However in recent years true 30fps capability has appeared even in some consumer camcorders. This can result in some subtle problems if you mix real 30fps material in a standard 29.97fps sequence. The "change" you refer to could occur if your clips were recorded at a real 30fps and you put them in a 29.97fps sequence. FCE will try to conform the clips to the sequence settings.
For completeness, here is what FCE supports:
SD video at the following frame rates. FCE imports DV video as QuickTime/Apple DV during capture from your camcorder
DV-NTSC @ 29.97 fps
DV-PAL @ 25 fps
HD video at the following frame rates. FCE transcodes all HD video (HDV and AVCHD) to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec during capture from your camcorder.

720p30

Frame skip/choppy frame rate problems

Hi all,
I have been benchmarking different sprite rendering methods on iPhone, and seem to have a consistently choppy framerate when publishing using CPU. If I use GPU the frame rate is not choppy, but the overall performance is much slower.
I have a detailed analysis here: http://www.pixelthismobile.com/blog/1/10/2010/flash-iphone-wildly-fluctuating-framerate-or -frame-skip
All I am doing is drawing a number of sprites to a static bitmap on the stage (using copyPixels), clearing the bitmap before each frame.
Basically the framerate jumps rapidly between two values (a low and a high - for example 15 fps and 52 fps) at a very consistent rate of about 3 cycles per second. I am at a loss...
Would be great if anybody had any insights.
Regards,
Peter
p.s. This uses PFI v1, have yet to try with v2.

I'm starting to get to the bottom of this! Seems the choppy performance is being caused by my benchmarking routine, which pushes a single Number value on to an array every frame. I assumed this was due to memory allocation so I tried a fixed size array and simply setting a value each frame. Still choppy. So I got rid of the benchmark code altogether. All that is left is this code: frameCount++; And the choppy frame problem is STILL there! Without the ++ it is fine o.O - how absolutely bizarre. Who would have thought a post increment would cause a choppy frame rate!? Still doing more testing so stay tuned...
Nope - it is frame skip
