			<description><![CDATA[Sorry.  When I'm talking about Vegas studio on these forums, always remember that I never have the program with me at the time.  I am recalling the instructions best to my memory, but many of the tasks are done subconsciously after doing them so many times, and my dumb conscious mind has to try to remember the specifics.

BTW, is this the film I wrote the script for, or another film?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[s]@Holdingourown, I tried what you and pritchard said, and I am quite confused I am currently on SV right now and can't seem to get it, so what I did was try what Pritchard said, cause like I said you still haven't explained what you mean by the last frame, sigh, so what I did was copy the whole video, on SV, then cut it, then I repaste it, scroll my mouse to zoom in on the file select a frame then click S? then I extend the frame which works, however it does not actually extend it when it plays.. So if I'm trying to extend a single frame it just plays the whole film, or the part I apparently pressed S on, so confused would really appreciate an answer..[/s]

I figured it out! :lol: theres was actually more steps that you guys forgot to add in, its all ok though cause what you said helped anyhow! I'm currently editing the film right now, once its done I'll show it to you guys! remember tho I haven't had much practice with this sort of production, so I hope it turns out ok.

Kind regards, Generalned]]></description>

You enter the length in seconds and a frame conversion appears to the right.  .07 is 2 frames, which works great when animating at 15 fps and the project is set to 29.97 or 30 fps.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ohh ok! Thanks for your reply, holdingourown, and if you were saying your conifident I'll improve thanks for that!

And this can be done on any frame right not just the last? That's what I was hoping to find out! Haha, I'm actually going to be animating right now in about 10 minutes, so yea haha hope I get it this time!

Thanks for your help and everyone elses, hopefully I'll get the hang of you and the others tips, I'm always motivated to keep trying even if I fail a few times, so I should get it.

Generalned

[b]EDIT:[/b]I just was using sony vegas, firstly thanks Pritchard and holdingourown for the tip, I did the short cut way, and it works great, however I'm still having one trouble despite the fact, I'm starting a new project on multimedia at 15FPS, each frame is still playing by default at around 5-10 seconds each am I missing something or can someone tell me how they set theirs up with some instructions if possible? 

I'm going to try it on AE, but I'm more familiar with SV so if anyone can reply back it'd be much appreciated.

Kind regards, Generalned.]]></description>

Another way to do it is to splice off the last frame (put the cursor there and press S), then cut & Paste as needed.[/quote]
Dude, you're amazing. I never could figure out how to split/splice videos, so thanks.
(Also, don't you mean copy/paste?)[/quote]

I'm not the amazing one, Prichard Studios.  My friend, Matt, who creates electronic and d&b music, introduced me to Acid Pro even before Sony owned it.  When I started using it, I told him that I needed to learn a new tip every time he came over.  The "S" for splice is something he taught me.  It works in Vegas, too, of course.  And, GeneralNed, Yeah!  I did mean copy & Paste.  Of course, only 1 copy is needed.  I use control-V to rapid-fire repeat paste, rather than clicking on the menu.  You see, when Vegas pastes the new frame in, it also moves the cursor for you so that you can paste again immediately.

And If I need to paste, say, 15 seconds, I'll paste a second's worth, highlight all the repeated frames, copy & Paste again, but now I'm pasting a whjole second at a time.

Welcome to a world of splicing!  I'm confident that your work will improve and be completed more efficiently because if it!  By the way, I Matt doesn't give me tips anymore, but I go into the help menu and look up topics regularly to teach myself new tips & techniques.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Pritchardstudios, thanks for your reply once again,
I appreciate you getting back to me, however I'm a little confused
with your reply, I understood most of it, but I'm confused as to 
what you mean by the very last frame, do you mean the last frame of
the clip? Or the last frame from part of a clip? Just confused with
that part, and just wanted a confirmation when possible, thanks
again for your reply.

Hey mousedroid, with the composition I normally do the same as you
do but I get confused at the part were it is on default, 29.97fps
and the part were you put the amount in is at, 0.0002 do I change
that to 0.0015 to go 15 FPS, becuase I'm confused as everytime I
change it, it saids how much frames it plays in a 29.97fps file?
So am I doing something wrong or is this normal?

Haha thanks for finding a way to extend the clips in AE, 
I really appreciate you taking your time to do that!
It does sound a little complex but I'll fidle around with it
and give it a shot, just a question is the new layer for just 
a frame of a clip or will it apply for all the frames?
Thanks again for your reply!

Hey holdingourown!
Thanks for your brief but very helpful tip, however as I said to
Pritchardstudios what do you mean by the very last frame, do you
mean the last last frame of the video file, or the last part of
a frame in the clip? cause I want to extend parts near the 
beggining more to the middle and some within the end, pretty much
throughout the whole clip, so that's the only thing I was confused
about, but thanks for your reply!

Once again thanks everyone who has been helping me out, I really
appreciate it, as I'm sure it will prove useful to me and others,
Thanks again for all your time.

Kind regards, Generalned]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Pritchard Studios][quote]...don't know how to extend a single frame...[/quote]
Oh, that's easy. Copy the video file, cut the copy down the the very last frame, and then "Ctrl+Left click" and drag it out. You can extend it up to four times it's original length, which ain't much, but that's what they made copy/paste for.
Once you cut the copy down, you can just keep copying that, and eventually you'll make it long enough.[/quote]

			<description><![CDATA[I don't know what's happening with the framerate issue. Whenever I start a comp, I go to the Composition menu on top, then I click on New Composition and I just type in whatever framerate I want and it works fine. And I think the reason why the other frames aren't playing is because the first frame is "on top", so you can't see the frames that are "below" it. If you click on the eye icon that corresponds to your first layer, it makes that layer invisible, so you will now because to see the second layer "below" the first layer. You'll have to manually adjust each frame to play only at a certain time by dragging around the colored bar that corresponds to the layer, which is very time consuming. This is why I suggest you should put your images together into an image sequence.

EDIT:
I figured out a way to extend a frame within a video in AE, but it could get a little tedious.
1. Start with a new comp with the footage you want in it.
2. Drag the time indicator to wherever you want the extended frame to start.
3. Go to Edit>Split Layer.
4. Duplicate the new layer the pops up.
5. Select the split layer (not the one you just duplicated) and go to Layer>Time>Freeze Frame. This should now make the whole split layer one long frame, but you won't see it immediately because the duplicate layer is on top of it.
6. Drag the colored bar in the timeline that corresponds to the duplicate layer to where you want the extended frame to stop.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the thread mousedroid, I'll take a read through it, as for AE, the trouble I'm having is when I put a new composition, I don't seem to know how to effectively get it to 15FPS, and for the fact when I put all my images in its in order, but it just stays on the first image not moving no more than first.. 

The reason for not working the videos is for the fact I honestly don't know how to extend a single frame in the video file once it's in the timeline, are you able to tell me how you extend frames in a video files to edit the voicing and so forth?


NOTE: I read the thread, and it was the same problem, however they say the fix for it was by highlighting all of them, apprently he just highlighted the second and the rest instead of the first and the rest, what I planning to try is renaming it to simplied order, something like file001,file002,file003 instead of 13image001 (eg)< I'll also try to set the settings to default see that works. Thanks for your reply.
Kind regards, Generalned.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[url=http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/345868-sony-vegas-newbie-simplest-question-still-images-order]This thread[/url] I found on a different website seems to to give an answer to the problem you're having with Sony Vegas. Regarding After Effects, how exactly are you making your composition? Whenever I change my framerate, every thing is fine and it saves. And like Pritchard, I don't usually work with images in After Effects, just video clips, so I'm somewhat limited with the knowledge I can provide.

Also, why is it that you have to work with the images themselves? A lot of frustration seems to be coming from that, and it would just be easier to work with videos, especially since Sony Vegas and AE are primarily used for video editing/compositing.]]></description>
