Why do I keep dropping frames?

I have some short clips that were taking on my iphone 4s (less then a minute) and when I'm trying to go through the clips to find what I want, I keep dropping a ton of frames, and get a warning that prehaps my disk is to slow? I've never had this happen ever before. Even when editing 1080P footage from my DSRL.
I can't seem to figure out what's going on. Plenty of RAM, using a quad core i7, it just seems to have started, and not sure why.

Go into FCP X preferences and under Playback, select Proxy - but when you Export, remember to go back and select 'Use Original or Optimised material.

Why does Premiere CS6 drop frames in capture?

Why does premiere CS6 drop frames when I capture from my Canon Visia HV40 via Firewire 400

1st, more computer information might help... such as the Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 questions
2nd, some other software to try... to see if the problem is with your computer, or CS6
I have NOT used either, but many say to try these for SD capture http://windv.mourek.cz/ or http://www.exsate.com/products/dvcapture/

Why does Facetime keep dropping my video chats?

My FaceTime calls keep dropping calls/video calls every 2 minutes. I know its not the internet because I can Skype for hours with no problem. I cant figure it out! Why would this happen?

are you using I movie? There is an output in i movie for you tube that i suppose turns it into whatever format they want. And how long is it? T think there is a 10 or 15 min limit on you tube for uploads. I am thinking that the format from your camera is not what you tune wants to see. If you can get it into i movie, and send it from there, it converts it into what they want. I think. (works for me)

Why do I keep dropping calls

I have a Iphone 4 why after talking for about five min. I loose my call

Why do I keep losing service/dropping calls with every outgoing call it's not my location it happens where ever I am. It will not let me call out even to customer service or 611. It also will go straight to voicemail when someone calls me, but low and behold I cant even call my voicemail. This is ridiculous and has been happening for almost 2 weeks. What if I have an emergency and need to call out or someone is trying to reach me, that's the whole point of my cell phone. Please help I'm very unhappy! I have a galaxy note 2Hi , Thank you for your post. We're happy to help. Were there any changes to your device when this started happening? Do you have your device in Airplane Mode? Please check to see if you're running the most current software version through Settings>About device>Software update>Check for updates. Are you hearing a recording when you try to make a call? Check in Settings>Call settings>Additional settings>Call barring>verfiy that All outgoing calls is unchecked. Also, make sure that your SIM card is inserted correctly and not damaged. We have some additional steps to try. First let's try a Soft Reset by removing your battery for 2-3 minutes. This will re-optimize your device. You may also try running your device in Safe Mode for 2-3 hours: http://bit.ly/1vkcs06 . This will only run stock applications to see if any third party apps are causing this. Let us know if you still need assistance! Thanks, Ema with Samsung Support

Why do calls keep dropping?

My calls have started routinely dropping during the conversation. The phone rings okay but calls just keep dropping.

Thanks for the zip code information! Service should be great at that location, although service indoors can always be tricky due to uncontrollable items like building material. I'm glad you are getting such great service outdoors! This tells me there is not trouble with your phone. Let's check into any other availble options to improve your experience. Which make/model device are you using? Do you have highspeed internet at home?

Capturing Hi8 analog thru aja using DV setting keeps dropping frames

I am capturing from a RCA hi 8 camera using Capture preset DV NTSC 48 khz but I am dropping frames any ideas

In an attempt to troubleshoot the component that is causing the problem, try capturing with all the same settings as you have now, but set the capture scratch to the system drive. This is not the best option to do as normal practice, but if it works on the system drive, then it's not FCP, but either the drive, or the port that is faulty. If it captures successfully to the system drive, next step is to go out and get another hard drive and connect it. If it fails, most likely you have a bad Firewire card. If it works, it most likely is the RAID, and you can troubleshoot that with other means.

Any idea why my iPhone4 keeps dropping its wifi connection?

I have a new iPhone4 (an upgrade for my iPhone 3GS). It has been set up for the house's wifi and does connect. The annoying thing for me is that it seems to keep dropping out of wi fi. Sometimes it recognizes it within seconds of turning on my phone & other times I need to go into settings,shut off wifi, turn it on again and hope it recongnizes the wifi. I have no problem with my Apple computer, and no one else in the household has this difficulty, some Apple products, others not. I find this frustrating because I never had this problem with my older 3GS phone. I'm sorry I took the $0.99 upgrade to the iPhone 4. Should have left well enough alone!!! Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

IPad dropping WiFi every few seconds after updating iOs to version 5.x
I have the same problem with my iPad 2. It was working fine when my iOS was v.4.3.3. After updating the iOs to version 5.0.1, I kept dropping my WiFi & Internet signal. I am using WPA2, and my SSID is OFF (does not broadcast).
To solve the problem, I updated iOs to v5.1. Same problem occurred. I tried using the OpenDNS as suggested.. Did not work too. WiFi stays on for 5-10 seconds before saying signal was lost. Tried to log on again - iPad replied that I cannot join the network. Tried soft & hard reset, forgetting network settings, resetting all network Setting, etc - still nothing works.
Finally, out of frustration, I turned ON my router's SSID (broadcasting openly). Guess what? My iPad WiFi is working perfectly without any dropped connection.
Please try this quick solution. It may just fix your problems. I realized that this solution may be effective for some iPad users out there. But there is a chance it may not work with others (I tried almost all suggestions in other forums - ranging from updating the wireless router firmware, using an OpenDNS, doing a soft & hard reset of the iPad, etc. Still, nothing worked for my iPad - except this simple SSID setting). Hopefully, this additional solution might help someone. Good luck :-)

Why does itunes keep dropping my devices and files

Everytime I set my iPods asides for a few weeks and then reconnect them to iTunes they will not sync. iTunes flushes all the content I've loaded from CD's <1,000 songs plus audio books. iTunes wants me to re-register and reload everything. This has appened three times in the last year. It happens on both my Windows and OS X machines. I have an iPod Touch and an iPod classic. ITunes refuses to allow me to keep both devices and computers in sync. Before I spend the two plus days to reload again I would like to know what the heck is going on.

Why? Sony Viao by any chance? That comes with some media scanning software which has a habit of interferring with iTunes when it save files, resulting in a corrupt or missing library. Anti-virus software may also possibly be a cause on occasion.
See this User Tip for an effective backup strategy.
I've also written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background.

Why does icloud keep dropping notes

I've entered notes into the notes app to find days later that some are completely gone. Any suggestions or possible reasons why?

So why don't they just stay on Notes? It scared the heck outta me when they went poof!
Back them up yes, maybe transfer some but you'd always have them. Hmm just thinking.
Thanks for your help!

Why is the video dropping frames after export?

http://vimeo.com/65108558
The video in question is in the above link. I am using PP CS5 with a new iMac i7 32gb cuda enabled. When watching the clips in the timeline everything looks normal. This video was encoded to h.264 max render quality with the vbr at 50.
There has to be an issue with the export settings, as to why my exports looks like this. Any one who can help out would be greatly appreciated.

2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close program
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
If the above doesn't work try this:

Why does Lion keep dropping WiFi?

I am so very frustrated with this issue. My Lion OS 10.7.3 iMac just does not seem to be able to hold a stable connection with my home wifi network. After around ten minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less, usually when I've gotten up to do something else, the wifi is lost. It stays "connected" to the network (ie the wifi bars are black) but no internet comes through. Every time this happens, I turn WiFi off and reconnect and it fixes it every time, but it is still extremely inconvenient and troublesome to have to redo this constantly. What is there to do about it? Apparently this is a huge problem with Lion right now and frankly, I don't feel like dealing with it much. I have tried a lot of the solutions posted online and byApple, like renewing the DHCP lease, resetting my keychain etc. Nothing has worked.
Any ideas?

Sorry to hear, as a test copy & paste the fillowing line into Terminal app...
ping www.apple.com
Press enter, let it run & see if it lasts an hour or so.
Waiting for results.

Why does flash drop frames ??

I have been conducting some tests and am totally lost as to why flash based broadcasting drops frames.
The genral formula for calculating bitrate is :
bitrate = Width x Height x FPS
Now if this value is lower than Camera.bandwidth then why should flash still drop frames ?? Any assistance/ideas is greatly appreciated.
I have checked with FMS performance tab: bytes in is well bellow Camera.bandwidth as well , but still flash drops frames... why??

oh! you dont have to be an engeer to answer that. I reported you because i saw you had 306 points. Which means you had to be a serious guy giving a serious answer. If you had read my question (you may want to read it again just in case).. here is the answer to it that i could find on my own. There is no need to get things complicated, god created things simple eniough
Refer to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Camera.html
You will see that when we apply setMode funtion to request a width, height and fps, flash will request the device for closest native settings of the camera. I am pasting it here so everyone can read:
By default, Flash Player drops frames as needed to maintain image size. To minimize the number of dropped frames, even if this means reducing the size of the image, pass false for the favorArea parameter.
When choosing a native mode, Flash Player tries to maintain the requested aspect ratio whenever possible. For example, if you issue the commandmyCam.setMode(400, 400, 30), and the maximum width and height values available on the camera are 320 and 288, Flash Player sets both the width and height at 288; by setting these properties to the same value, Flash Player maintains the 1:1 aspect ratio you requested.
So as you see its a simple thing, nothing so complicated as NETWORKING, ALOHA , TCP/IP etc etc . If you wil notice all the situations i have stated, it clearly implies frame drop happens regardless of any bandwidth settings as soon as i go over a certain resolution.
Haver a nice day! Cheers

Dropped frames question

Late 2007 MacPro/5G RAM/Editing to dedicated internal scratch disk/HDV sequence/AIFF Audio 48khz/FCP Version 6.0.4
I don't know why I am having this problem, but whenever I try to play a sequence, it plays fine when it is playing through a rendered video track over music, but as soon as the playhead gets to audio-only portions of the sequence (meaning no video above the audio track) it starts dropping frames immediately. I have set the user preferences to "Audio Playback--Low (faster)" but this still seems to do nothing. I have played with the usual RT settings - nothing. Why would FCP be dropping frames just trying to play the audio alone? Audio settings match the sequence settings. What the heck? Love some help, thanks.

that keeps the frames from dropping. This can't be considered a fix for this though, can it?
Well it fixed it didn't it?
In earlier versions of FCP I always had to do this to stop dropped frames. Other FCP editors tell me that with FCP 5 that it was no longer necessary. I still do it though.
Glad to have helped
