Why is the timeline set to -1?

Hi there,
I have a stage with lots of symbols on, all with their own timelines set to play upon click. When previewing in the browser I notice it takes two clicks to get the timeline going. When I query with a console.log command the console tells me that the timeline begins at -1, so my command (which is an if\else telling to play if timeline = 0) doesnt work. Another then click finds the timeline at zero, as if it had been jogged on a bit.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks

getPosition();
Description: Returns the current playhead position of the default timeline. Returns -1 if the timeline has never been played.

  • Why is the timeline numbering scheme wrong

    I have zoomed in on a particular video and noticed as I zoom in the timeline numbering is not correct.   Here is a screen shot showing the issue:
    In case you cannot see the numers the read as follows:
    00;00;26;00
    00;00;26;15
    00;00;27;00
    00;00;27;15
    00;00;28;00
    00;00;28;15
    This is what I would expect the timeline to read:
    00;00;26;00
    00;00;26;50
    00;00;27;00
    00;00;27;50
    00;00;28;00
    00;00;28;50
    If I zoom in further then the problem gets worse.  Has anyone else run into this.

    Kevin,
    That is what I would expect with regards to TimeCode. For SMPT TimeCode, one has 00 (hrs.); 00 (min.); 00 (sec,); 00 (frames). As Neale points out, the 15 Frames is 1/2 of a second at 30 FPS, for NTSC. Those intermediate numbers would be 12 for PAL (in reality, halfway would be 12.5, but we cannot have half Frames in Video.
    Good luck,

  • Why is the Expired Setting on by Default for our Users?

    Our agency has Windows 7 with Outlook 2010.  We use Exchange Server 2010 - it is administered for us by our Montana Department of Administration. 
    We have our own domain in Montana State Government which is separate from all others as we are a very large agency
    Our customers starting noticing that they were seeing many expired emails that were sent to them and that they sent.  They never turned on this feature in the individual or for all their emails.
    Was there an update from Microsoft that turned this on by default?  If so, is it in the enterprise policy for Office 2010 Professional somewhere that you can turn this off by default? 
    People are getting upset about this just "turning" on and want it off and we have over 2200 employees and need to have a solution that doesn't involve showing all 2200+ folks how to do it manually. 
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to delete the old emails for all your users. If I misunderstand your meaning, please feel free to let me know.
    If yes, I recommend you create a retention policy for all your users.
    And here are the steps you can refer to :
    1. Create retention policy tag:
    New-RetentionPolicyTag -Name "name" -RetentionAction MoveToDeletedItems -AgeLimitForRetention 90 -Type all -Comment "comment"
    2. Create a Retention Policy to include the tag
    New-RetentionPolicy -Name "policy name" -RetentionPolicytagLinks "tag name”
    3. Apply the Retention Policy to all the mailboxes:
    Get-Mailbox | Set-mailbox -RetentionPolicy "policy name"
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/hot/archive/2012/04/26/how-to-apply-retention-policies-to-all-mailboxes.aspx
     If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Why is the box set to the same channel everytime I turn it on?

    i thought there was a setting that would allow you to have the channel that you were on last prior to powering off be the channel upon powering back on.  my box is ALWAYS on ESPN upon power on, even if that's not the channel I was on when turning it off.

    grotzpa,
    Try removing the power cable for a couple minutes and then plug it back in, power up and see if that clears the issue.

  • HT4623 Why has the network setting been removed on IOS 6?

    When looking in settings, the neywork tab has disappeared?  And I am unable to connect to 3G.

    Your image shows "Firefox will Remember History".
    It has a dropdown arrow which usually shows -
    "Firefox will Never Remember History" and, what you need,
    "Firefox will Use Custom Settings". This opens a range of options.
    Is this pair of dropdown arrows not working?

  • Timeline setting for jpeg vids

    Hi all, I've read the answer to this before, but I've been searching and can't find it...I am editing video that is 640X480 30 fps and the timeline setting is photo jpeg at 75% quality. Everyone says to set the quality at 75%, but I've forgotten why exactly - anybody out there with a better memory than mine?
    thanks!

    Do you think you might mean setting the dpi to 72?
    That will give you a normal-ish size photo for 100% scale to be about the same size/pixels as your canvas.
    But that's kind of old school what with now digital cameras and photos etc.
    Are you sure you mean quality? Maybe to ease up on the edges and moire effects?? Not sure. I'll wager it was 72 dpi that you read about.

  • Why does playback on the timeline lag on my premiere elements 9 project?

    Whenever I playback my edit on the timeline, it starts off playing fine, but after a few seconds it starts to lag. I am using a macbook pro (2.4GHz intel core 2 duo processor, OS X V10.9.4), and was initially editing off a WD hard drive connected with a Firewire800 cable. I have shifted all my rushes and the premiere elements project file from the hard drive to my laptop, but that doesn't seem to work. Project settings and Clip settings seem to match, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open the project file anyway. I fiddled with some of the playback settings, but nothing seemed to work. I need to rush out a piece of work asap. Any ideas?

    AT Romano,
    Please see my actions taken regarding your questions below:
    One of my questions was attempting to determine if the total duration of clips on the Timeline has any effect on this random playback issue.
    Am I correct in assuming that you are saying that this Timeline playback lag can be seen even with only one 1 minute clip on the Timeline? If not,
    how many clips needed on that Timeline when the Timeline content playback starts to lag?
    The lag can also be seen with only one 1 minute clip on the timeline.
    If you start a new project with a different video source or just some jpg photos do you run into this Timeline content playback lag after rendering of that
    Timeline content?
    NO, this lag does not occur with a new project with different video source.
    Did you understand what I wrote early on about Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 being a 32 bit application when run on 32 or 64 bit computer? Do you use the computer for programs other than Premiere Elements? I asked since you wrote
    Upgraded the RAM. I'm now running on 2x 8GB of RAM.
    A 32 bit system is typically characterized by maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB and typically 3.2 to 3.0 or less of that being available. So, why the upgrade to 16 GB of installed RAM?
    I guess I didn't quite understand the 32 bit system thing. But i kinda get the idea now. In any case, my computer seems to be running faster than usual even though it didn't solve the elements 9 lagging issue.
    Just recap time....
    1. Optimize the computer with free ccleaner for Mac run through
    CCleaner - Download
    Done.
    2. Make sure that there are no pile ups of preview files, conformed audio, and conformed video files. At this time, how much
    free hard drive space at the location where the Scratch Disks are directed?
    Done. About 870GB of free HD space. This is an external hard drive.
    3. Set Playback Quality to highest instead of automatic
    Did this, but the lagging becomes worse. It freezes longer on certain frames.
    4. Make sure video card/graphics card driver is up to date according to web site of manufacturer of the card
    According to Manufacturer, graphic cards installed on MacBook Pros are already optimised by Apple during the installation.
    5. If dual monitor system, disconnect one, use only one
    I am monitoring only from my laptop screen. No external monitors.
    6. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file...
    Users/Libraries/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0
    I cannot seem to find this file.
    7. Export the lagging Timeline content to an appropriate file saved to the computer hard drive. Then determine if the playback of the export
    exhibits any lags.
    After export, there are no lags.
    8. Do you run into the problem with and without the antivirus disabled?
    I have no antivirus installed. But i did try turning on and off the firewall. With the firewall on, the lag seemed to get worse.
    9. For troubleshooting purposes only at this time, download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 12
    from Adobe....If it works for you, then we can target version 9....If it does not work for you, then we can target your computer.
    There is no Premiere elements 12 available for trial download. Only premiere elements 13. Have downloaded that and copied the project file into elements 13. The lag is still there, but not as bad. But, it is still there.

  • Why does "hide" action set timeline to play?

    I created a group that by default is hidden, and is shown when a certain shape is clicked. On the main timeline i placed a hidden button to pause the slide at the end. Inside the group I placed a shape that acts as button, when the shape is clicked the "hide" action hides the group. The problem is that when the user clicks the shape to hide the group, the base timeline is somehow set to play again. How can this be avoided?

    Oops, will again have terminology problems (I'm not a native English speaker).
    Think you'll need to read this post: Why choose Standard over Simple action? - Captivate blog which has also a link to a YouTube video.
    When you trigger a 'simple' action with an interactive object, the playhead is released, which is what you have seen happening.
    Main timeline? Base timeline?  What do you mean by that? Tiny Timeline Tidbits - Captivate blog Don't be offended, but I'm a bit afraid that you are mixing up things. If you click the Hide button (eye) on the timeline for an object, it is not hidden on runtime, just hidden while editing. To hide an object you have to use its Properties panel, and 'how' depends on your version (which you didn't specify).
    Tip: click box is an interactive object that is by design invisible to the user and pauses the slide timeline at the end of its timeline. Better idea than your 'hidden button'...

  • Why do I want bookmarks from other clips to remain in the timeline?

    Hi,
    I've been using iMovie for about a year now and am finally bothering to write in about this. Most of what I use iMove for are music video compilations so I have a bunch of clips that I work on. I trim them, combine them and then make a DVD (with iDVD). My question is, why does iMovie leave the bookmarks from the/all previous clip(s) in the timeline unless I delete them? Why would I (anyone?) want bookmarks from one clip to be there (in the timeline) when I am working on another clip? I take each clip out of the timeline and put it back in the clip window until I am ready to assemble them all, working on them one at a time. The bookmarks remain after I've worked on each on so have to I delete ALL each time. Why would I/anyone want them to stay? (Perhaps they appear in the correct place in the timeline if I keep adding clips but I think, and since I don't do this I may be wrong, that they don't. They certainly don't appear in the correct places when I put other clips in the time line. How could they when I haven't decided where I want the bookmarks to be in the new clips?)
    Also, when I do an edit (crop), the bookmarks remain in their places (x frames in for example) even though I have shortened the movie. Shouldn't they adjust and in the case of cropping off some of the beignning, shouldn't they then be right at the beginning if that is where I had marked so I could crop it? I don't understand.
    Thanks for any help. I'm using iMovie 5.0.2.
    Cheers,
    John L

    My question is, why does iMovie leave the bookmarks from the/all previous
    clip(s) in the timeline unless I delete them?
    Bookmarks are an editing tool that we create as needed, keep in the Timeline for as long as useful, then discard, one at a time or all together. They are generally discarded when no longer needed.
    (I feel Bookmarks are one of iMovie's most useful features, especially when iMovie preferences are set to Snap to items in the Timeline, and snap with audio. Bookmarks greatly simplify editing.)
    Personally, I wouldn't want iMovie to decide for me when to discard my Bookmarks, any more than I want iMovie to discard clips or chapters. iMovie isn't very good at reading my mind, so I prefer to make those decisions.
    When the current editing task is done, I tell iMovie to discard all the Bookmarks, usually just to clear the table.
    The whole point of Bookmarks is to mark a point in the project, not mark a point in a clip. It's not meant to move as you move that clip or others.
    You might create a Bookmark to use Direct Trimming to trim a clip to that point, for example, or place a new clip there, or insert a temporary "Black" clip as a placeholder.
    You might create a Bookmark to mark the beat of the music in an audio track, for example, the spots you want to sync clips to. As in:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=607322&ft=y&#607322
    Generally, you create a Bookmark to define a spot you'll use later. Whatever content you edit will move/adjust/fit to the Bookmark, not the other way around.
    Does this make sense?

  • Why do I need to render an imported clip in the timeline to view it??

    I can't figure this out.I have used FCP 3 many times before but now I have imported an H264.mp4 clip into my timeline using FCP 4.5. Now I have to render it to watch it in the timeline?It appears that I have to render any clips I import into the timeline including .mov files.
    Is this a FCP 4.5 thing?
    I am operating a Dual 867 G4 with 2 gigs of Ram. 10.4.6 OS.
    It will take forever to render this project as it is Hours of HD footage.
    Thanks so much for any help.
    Never had this issue with non HD footage using FCP 3.
    G4 dual 867, 2 gig Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Format: H.264 Decoder,368 x 208,Millions
    AAC, Stereo(L R).44.100 kHz
    23.98
    You're dimensions are 368x208? Never seen that size (though, I'm sure there are a multitude of sizes I haven't seen). Did you specify those dimensions in HandBrake or were they default? Did you set those dimensions in your sequence? Look at all of your columns in the browser in regards to the clip properties; enter all of those into the sequence settings. This may be wrong, but I would even specify H.264 as the compressor.
    Also, you said "HD footage", but you ripped it off a DVD. Was it a video DVD, or a data disc? If it was video, I believe it would have been compressed and down-rez'd already to SD, so it shouldn't really be HD footage anymore (not native anyway...unless it was a HD-DVD).
    Looking to maybe export H.264.mov as another format
    using Quicktime Pro. Think that will help?
    You could do this, I believe, but it may not be necessary.

  • Why is the preview window for my timeline so pixilated?

    why is the image in my preview window for my timeline so pixilated? im using a mac pro 16gb ram/ 6 core / firepro d300

    thanks for your feedback!  This is my first week with premiere and its been a lot of fun, but im still learning my way around and the terminology, so i appreciate all feedback and correction. 
    What I'm seeing in the program monitor is a sharp image when it's paused and a pixilated image when it's playing.  I'm not sure how, or where i would make the adjustments.  Also,  I have been using lots of educational videos on youtube to learn my way around, but is there like a book or something that will teach me the basics?  I don't want to be asking basic stuff on here.  Thanks again

  • Why can't I drag things to the timeline?

    I decided to upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 last night after long debate and not wanting to spend the money. Everything is going pretty well now after transferring my project created using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 into the new program.
    But now I just can't figure out why it won't let me drag media, video/audio transitions, or video/audio effects to the timeline or Effect Controls screen. I'm getting the little No Smoking/Ghostbusters symbol next to my cursor when I try to click and drag those items. Can anyone help? I've searched the help file in the program, the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Help.pdf file, did numerous Google searches, and searched this Forum.
    Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? I was trying very hard to not waste anyone's time with a simple question if I could find the answer on my own, but I don't want to waste this entire weekend trying to figure out these problems if there's a simple resolution. :)
    Thanks!

    Hey! Hang on... I was wrong about the Gspot settings being exactly the same. My newly captured video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 (800MB file size) also says "File Length Correct". My video originally captured in Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 (it says 500MB file size, but it's actually 8.9GB) says:
    "Corrupt AVI Header:
    This is an invalid AVI file due to corruption of the data in the header. This is a serious problem, and this file is not likely to playable (I'm not the one who typed this sentence all screwy and without end punctuation)
    Details: While processing chunk /RIFF:AVI, found bad length value 1069461800 at file offset 0x0000fc94"
    Just to check if the other camcorder tape that I transferred in had the same problem, I checked my other video file with a supposedly 1,820MB file size, though it's actually 10.2GB, and that file says "File Length Correct".
    So it looks like this is not a file corruption issue with upgrading from Adobe Premiere Element 3.0 to Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, but possibly a corrupt file. However, it works fine now and I haven't come across any video problem yet.
    This also doesn't explain the bass boost problem, but I am going to focus on that now.
    Thanks everyone for your input, and thank you Steve about the Gspot tip!

  • Why is the Lumia Icon's ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

    Why is the Lumia Icon's (929) ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone+sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

    Hello Lena,
    Yes, tried all those things.
    After going back and forth with Verizon's "tier 2" technical support over the last 2 days, a chat session with Nokia, no call-backs-as-promised by your technicians, then having them reinstall the phone's software -that didn't fix the problem. So they are sending me a re-manufactured replacement phone. But not a NEW ONE, because I didn't realize the problem within 14 days. You see at first, I just figured the phone had lousy volume, until I was previewing ringtones when setting the alarm clock. The phone is about one and a half months old. I have expressed my desire that a NEW phone be sent, but NO says Verizon.
    I've spent enough time, in good faith, Verizon would solve this matter, but in the process of their re-installing the software they've screwed up Backup Assistant.
    Thanks.
