Weird Poster Frame Jump on Final Disc

Hello,
I've just burned a disc on which I had placed poster frames. When I go to the scene selection, the chapter thumbnails look good because they are the poster frames that I selected. The problem is this: When I select a chapter, it does indeed go to the chapter mark, however after about a second it jumps and starts to play from where the poster frame was set!
I'm not sure what's wrong, or how to fix this.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How to set movie poster frame in final cut pro x

Need some help on the following.
Objective-using QT 7 or later, Current Compressor, FCP X or any other video editing tool, export a mp4 movie that displays a "poster frame" when the movie is inserted into iBook Author. When started by the user, the movie would begin to play from the first frame of the movie (not the poster frame).
thx ra

This sounds like a question for the iBooks Author forum. I think you set the poster frame in that application. How you make the video behave in the iBook is controlled in that application not in the editing application.

Poster Frame and Trim Mode not working properly with post-synced clips

Hi Everyone-
Final Cut Pro seems to be doing something really odd and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced it and if so what is the fix:
We are shooting a movie on Red with sound coming in on multitrack wav files. We downconvert the R3D files to Prores and then manually sync the tracks in the timeline.
We link the pix and sound and drag them to the bin to make our dailies. They all play, in sync. When we try to set a poster frame the issues begin. If I load the clip into the browser park the playhead on a frame and choose poster frame, the actual frame in the bin is very noticably offset (often by a few seconds).
Also, when I use the trim mode, the frames jump to a different part of the shot during trim. It's like the shot is jumping ahead or back while I hit the frame advance or recede buttons. Once I let go of the button the image jumps to the correct number of frames. But, it's very distracting if I am trying to trim, for example, to just before an actor blinks. I can't trim 1 frame at a time. I have to keep hitting the button, watching the picture jump to a different part of the shot, release the trim button and watch the picture jump back to the now correctly trimmed frame...
As a test I took some of the Prores clips with scratch track sound and brought them into the bin directly from the finder, bypassing the syncing. Using those clips, the trim and poster frames work as expected. Obviously something is going on during syncing.
I assumed maybe because the audio and pix we different lengths the clip was getting "confused", and didn't know where to "start". So, in the timeline with the synced clips, I razor bladed a few shots, linked them, and dragged them to the bin so the audio and video were the exact same length... Same issue.
I have noticed the same behavior on 2 separate Macs so I don't think its a preference or corrupted install issue.
Anyone seen this and have any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Yes, David, I'm having the same problem under the same circumstances. we're using merged clips made from Prores QTs and multitrk BWF files. In the trim window, the display frame jumps ahead considerably in a frame-by-frame trim, but trims accurately in the timeline. My only work-around has been to use the left/right scrub arrows in the trim window when necessary, which displays the correct frame. Sorry not to have an answer, but I saw a post on another forum from 2007 that speculated it was an FCP 6 bug. Resetting prefs doesn't help.

I set a poster frame in the timeline, but the thmbnail in the menu does not update. Why?

I have used poster frames correctly in other projects before, also in encore cs6.
In this project, it's not working.
haveing had it working before, i'm sure its nothing to do with the OS, or media type, since that was the same in my previous projects. Any other ideas as to common causes?

I've seen weirdness on this one myself. Usually changing the poster frame by a frame or two clears it up.
I've actually gotten into the habit of setting my poster frames before I make the chapter links. That way it always works.

Has anyone else encountered a problem with poster frames not recognising a video's pixel aspect ratio

I'm discovering a strange effect with some of the .mp4 videos I've upload into iBooks Author. They're Pal SD 4:3 .movs with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio and they play out fine on the iPad. However the iBooks software seems to be ignoring the pixel aspect ratio of the poster frame. This leads to the situation.
1) When I drag my video into iBooks author all looks good - the video is 16:9 and if I choose to set a poster frame (or leave it at default) it looks 16:9 in the iBooks Author.
2) I preview my book and it opens in iBooks on the iPad. But now the poster frame aspect ratio is 4:3
3) I click on the video to start playing and it immediately jumps to 16:9 aspect ratio and plays out fine.
4) If it scroll down a couple of pages and then scroll back the video poster frame has now reset itself to 4:3
This sounds like a bug to me. Anyone else had it? Do you know if it's possible to report bugs without having a Developer licence?
Thanks for any help
Rob

While there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.

Setting poster frame fails

I drag my fcp cut into QT Pro. I set the Poster Frame. I choose 'Go to poster frame' to make sure it's set. Then I export it for ipod and open it in itunes and the poster frame is wrong. This has happened twice. Any ideas? Thanks.

You should post in the Final Cut Pro or QuickTime discussion forum. This is for iTunes U.
I'm going to lock this topic since this is not the correct location.

Poster frames are failing for Mpeg1 assets - thumbnails show up as all white.

I have Mpeg1 encoded files that are created by compressor, they are mpeg1 320x240 @ 1,800kbps with 192kbps mpeg1-L2 audio
When Final Cut Server analyses them, the poster frame job simply fails without any decent info on what went wrong. The thumbnail shows up as pure white.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I fix this, please?
Thanks
Clive

Another bug that will never be fixed...
Thank you Apple for shafting us.

Poster frame error in finder icon view

I've been setting poster frames with control click. While iTunes usually shows the frame I choose, the finder, when in icon view, doesn't. It often picks something close (usually earlier). I usually have to search around to get it to set to the one I choose. For example (not real values here, just to illustrate): I choose the frame at 19:13, but the finder shows 19:02. Then I continue to choose: 19:15, 19:17, 19:21. Each time iTunes is correct (though I have to sometimes change views), but the finder won't change, until I hit on the one that is close to what it likes. Even then, it's often a little wrong, usually a few seconds before. I don't know anything about keyframes, but would that be what it's using?

I think I've narrowed it down: When I scroll in iTunes it jumps to "hint" frames. Those are the frames it's accepting in the finder.

Setting poster frame for video automatically?

Does anyone know if there is a way to automatically set a poster frame for imported video files in Aperture 3? I was very pleased to be able to import all of my camera video files, but once imported they all were black. I am able to click and "Set Poster Frame" but that is a very tedious process to go through for even a small amount of video files.

Thank you!!!! I've been working on this for hours. I've completely erased and re-imported the videos no less than three times. The poster frames would show...and then disappear on final import...it was driving me crazy!
Just in case I can help someone else track this post down with google...
Aperture 3 was giving me black thumbnails when I imported Flip HD videos. I tried setting poster frames, but no love. Generate thumbnails corrects the problem of black poster frame, black key frames, black thumbnails, whatever you want to call it. thank you.

Creating a Simple Flash Movie With Poster Frame and Play/Pause Buttons

Hi, It's been over a year since I played with Flash last, and
I have completely forgotten everything I learned.
I have a .flv file which I want to play on my website. It
should display a poster frame when the page load, and not autoplay
the movie. It should have the play button I made in photoshop
sitting on top of the poster frame. When pressed, the movie should
start playing and the button should be shifted for the pause button
I made in PS (it should work just like the play/pause button in
iTunes). When the movie has finished playing, it should jump back
to the poster frame.
I have tried using the flvplayback component and also played
around with just embedding the flv directly and inserting a play
and pause button from the common library, but I can't seem to get
it to work. With the flvplayback component I have managed most of
it apart from using my own buttons and getting the poster frame to
work (which apparently has to be done with Action script).
Any help appreciated.

Which version of Flash/actionscript are you using? Since you
are just starting out, you should read one of Adobe's tutorials on
the matter. Either use Flash Help to find examples on how to use
Flash or go to their website. Here is a great tutorial for someone
just starting out. Make sure you read all three tutorials in "Using
Flash for the first time".

Strange Imported Video Poster Frame Colors

I've had this weird problem since the days of iTunes 9, and I haven't found a solution yet.
When I import videos into iTunes, the colors in the poster frame are all messed up, and very much different from the colors that actually appear in the respective frame of video.
This has significant ramifications since when I sync these videos to my iPhone, the "corrupted" poster frames are shown in the iPod app.
What could be causing the problem, and how can I fix it?
EDIT: I should add that the videos I'm importing were either created in iMovie on my Mac, or converted to a format playable on my iPod using Handbrake. This anomaly appears to be affecting all imported videos, not just the ones converted using Handbrake. Video purchases from the Store do not appear to be affected.

I don't know how it was fixed, but the problem seems to have gone away in iTunes 10.1.

Setting Poster Frame for H.264 Youtube HD video exported from Pr CC

Hey All,
I've searched many of the forums for an answer to this, but most of them refer to setting poster frames in encore/media encoder.
I'm wanting to select a specific frame from the video i've created to be used as the poster frame (i.e. the frame that is displayed as the preview of the video before it is played to show the viewer the content of the video) on the video when it's uploaded, either to Youtube or Facebook etc. As i'm not using En or the Media Encoder, I'm wanting to do this directly from Premiere Pro CC.
I'm sure I've seen/used a feature to select a poster frame within Pr before, but can't for the life of me remember or find where it is (if it is actually there at all).
Can anyone provide any suggestions?

Unfortunately Compressor, Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 can't play a Blu-ray .264 video files. This makes it hard to test your raw Blu-ray videos.
I found an app that will plaback the Blu-ray .264 video file on a Mac, VideoSpec. It's a free app!
http://videospec.free.fr/index.html
Drop your Blu-ray .264 video onto the open window and hit the play button in the upper left. VideoSpec has the Mplayer incorporated into the app. I guess you could download the stand-alone Mplayer app. But, Videospec gives you more options, video info for example.
What you could do to save on Blu-ray discs is to burn the Video onto a DVD for a test. You can only burn about 35 minute onto a DVD disc.

Is there a way to browse all "poster frames"/"album artwork" for TV Shows?

Here's the scenario...
I have a LOT of old cartoon shows in my iTunes collection, and I have them tagged and sorted as "TV Shows". Unfortunately, when browsing the collection using "Album View", iTunes only shows me ONE poster frame for the entire season.
This might be fine for some people, but not for me with regards to my collection of old cartoons, because I want each individual show to have its own poster frame that shows the title of that particular episode.
Yes, I know I can do that by playing the clip, stopping at it the title frame, right-clicking and selecting "Set Poster Frame".
That's not the issue though. The issue is that I (currently) have more than 2,000 shows in my collection and it understandably takes a long time to manually set the poster-frames for all of them. So I do a whole bunch every so often when I have the time to do so, and then wait a long time before I get round to doing some more.
Getting on to what the actual issue is though, it's that when using the "Album View" I cannot see the individual per-episode poster-frames of all my separate shows, and so I cannot see what I have artworked so far and what I have not.
So what I'm asking really is, does anyone know of any alternative ways (3rd-party apps) to at least VIEW (in some kind of "browse" mode), if not edit, individual TV Shows poster frames?
By the way, I know that converting the TV Shows to Movies will show me individual poster-frames, but that will kill all the hard work I've put into tagging the shows names, episodes, seasons, etc.
If I'm not making sense here, ask me for clarification on anything.
I'm using the latest versions of iTunes, and the Mac OS, on Intel, etc.

You won't be able to have a page showing 24 charts per host.
I really think that it is a bad idea to create a group per host, just to have the ability to add many charts.
The maintenance effort will be a big penalty.

Rob

Lightroom 5 Video - What is a "Poster Frame" ?

Hi, in Lightroom 5's video editing i can set a "poster frame". Could you tell me if that is one or more of the following, or something more/else?
the definition of the Youtube preview image if i upload the video?
the definition of the video's preview image inside Lightroom?
a new, separate still image file showing the video's moment i had selected when clicking "Set Poster Frame"?
I have very conflicting information about this from experts and i would appreciate answers from all who are really sure about what they say and who have actually used the "poster frame" feature successfully.
Thanks for your help!

Hi. Did you ever get an answer? I'm curious to know how the poster frame is useful outside of lightroom. So far, I've noticed that it does not translate when i import a video into aperture. Does it write the frame location to metadata?
