  • Frame hold?

    Posted by Hector Melendez on June 21, 2006 at 8:23 pm

    I have to find an easy way to do this task: freeze a frame for 5 sec (150frames), add a dissolve between each frame and burn this secuence (with Encore) without finding at the end of this work that the stills are jittering so much…
    I had tried several methods to achieve a good result… nothing so far.

    Then I’m asking for advise in this other method: If in the source monitor I select the desired frame hit I/O then (.) This way one frame is downloaded to the TL but I need a 150 frames. I have found no way to prolong all frames to my desired lenght. I used to make this in other NLE and by selecting all frames I was able to select the lenght and also add a globally transition. All at the same time!! No flickering at all

    Which is the use for Frame hold in this task? How I can sytematized? this task?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Two (possibly even more) ways to do this

    1 Export the frame you want to freeze on (as a still from the export menu) then bring it back into the timeline from the project window. Make it any length you want by dragging the ends.

    2. Use the frame hold from the right click menu. A few ways to do this from there but easiest is if you use the razor to separate the clip at the freeze point.

    Well, I doing the #1 and this is causing the “flickering”
    To partially resolve the situation I’m doing both. I capture as you suggest in #1 and then when get the freeze frames in the timeline I apply a hold… one by one!!! There is too much steps to do this task…
    I’m the only doing this??

    Any Adobe PP developer reading??

    Hector – you are not doing this correctly or as I described to you.

    You do not need to apply hold frame by frame and your method described in your original post is wrong. I & O sets in and outpoints which are un necessary to achieve the freeze frame.

    Select and Export a frame from the source monitor as a still > put it on the timeline and drag it to any length you desire eg 150 frames.

    Does this work and does it flicker ?

    Yes, this I was doing. I select the frame from the TL, export as BMP, then from the ones added to the project (an option when exporting) I drop it to the TL as a default of 150 frames. This is my work flow.

    I don’t see any flickering until the DVD is burned. So for this reason the trial and error is very long to make.
    Today I’m trying to apply a “desinterlace” in the video option>frame hold window.
    This is happening anytime I capture a still and use it in other progs apart from PP.

    thanks for your advise
