    March 17, 2013 at 8:07 pm in reply to: Time Remapping and Keyframes Don’t Work in CS4

    Has anyone found a workaround for this? (besides what has been mentioned in this thread)
    I am using CS6.0.2
    I found that the issue only occurs when I use time remapping with keyframes in effect controls. Not if I use the rate stretch tool.
    Thank you!

  • Hi Tom,

    Sorry I had to crunch to get that project ready and then a sudden business trip.

    In any case I have tested with the cache folder on the raid as well. No difference, read below:

    @ Dennis and Gary: Did you let it play a few times, backwards, double speed and all that?
    This is what happened just now with a ‘fresh;’ machine and clean & moved cache:

    I play the file in the source monitor, it plays fine for 4 times, although it does have artifacts (it looks like Im viewing it at the 1/2 resolution that I am using whereas other clips look pristine even at 1/2 resolution). Also when it reaches the end, I cannot press play again I need to let it go to the beginning and wait a second for the frame that is displayed to catch up. When it does, it plays fine again.

    Not wanting to play it another 4 times I decide to test it:
    So I go backwards, not problem, I go backwards double speed and it freezes. After this first freeze, it is having the old problems again, can play it for 30sec or so at a time before it freezes. ppfffft…

    Anyway the project is done, but it still is a mystery, what if this happens again and this time with clips that I actually really need to use?

  • Really? I keep the cache on the local drive and scratch on the raid.
    OK Ill try that. Signing off for today, will report back tomorrow

  • Ah shoot, I thought I had figured it out!
    So it is not the file formatting then…
    Weird that it would display different on different systems

    Tom, thanks for all your help. At least we are figuring out what it is NOT. 🙂

  • And here is mine..
    That is crazy. It is definitely the same file.

  • When I open that clip in quicktime, this is the format it displays in the inspector: AVCHD 1080i50, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    yes that is the same clip, one of the ones not working.
    It shows as h.264 for you? weird!

  • OK, It has something to do with the format of the clips.
    After reading: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/929322

    I looked at the format of the clips, the bad clips are: AVCHD 1080i50, 1920 × 1080, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    The good clips are: H.264, 1920 × 1080, Millions

    So is it that my system cannot handle the AVCHD clips natively? If I see that format I should always convert? In FCP I would just always convert to ProRes without looking much at the raw materials, so I would have missed this.

    Do you happen to know what causes the same camera to produce two different formats? Anything I can tell the videographer for next time?

  • haha yes.. 🙁
    Still havent done the uninstall
    I also have to try other types of footage with audio.
    Thanks for all the help though!

  • It was one of the first things I checked, but I am actually not a 100% on that:
    I always assumed on a mac, the drivers get updated through the software update utility?
    But when I had these problems I went to the AMD website. But the Radeon HD is not listed under MAC graphics. And when I go to notebooks – radeon HD – radeon HD 6xxxM series – I can only choose from a windows or linux OS….

  • That would be great – thanks!
    Yes, that link posted earlier in the thread is still valid
