Dears,
since Debugmode Frameserver is not working in Premiere CS5, also Avisynth is not working with CS5 version nor ProCoder and CCE doesn't have export plugin for Premiere CS5, my question is do we have option to frameserve Premiere timeline to some external coder or only encoding workflow (for DVD - MPEG2) is using Adobe Media Encoder?
Please, share your experience with encoding and frameserving.
Thanks.
It's intermediate files for third-party encoders for the time being, until some enterprising individual takes on the task of porting DebugMode Frameserver to 64-bit, and makes it work efficiently within the newer method of exporting from Premiere.
I'd pay $100 for such a plug-in/capability, myself.
I am also willing to pay to get fast working frameserver for CS5 (as we had for CS3). Anyone interested for porting frameserver from 32-bit to 64-bit which is now open source?
Here is the link:
http://groups.google.com/group/frameserver-discuss/browse_thread/threa d/92f4c90cc02a92ac#
Also we could post an offer for paid programming at sites such as:
I have been in touch with Satish, and he says:
Yes you can pay someone to work on CS5 support for the frameserver.
Please note that the open source code of frameserver is licensed under
GPL (http://code.google.com/p/frame-server/source/browse/trunk/LICENSE)
and according to that all adding features to frameserver means the
person has to contribute the source code for those changes back to the
frameserver project. I don't have time to work on it but I'll gladly
provide help to any other programmer you can find and pay to work on
it. Once they have added CS5 support I can also integrate that into
the official frameserver code and release a new version so all users
can benefit from it.
Good luck and let me know once you get someone to work on it.
Cheers
Satish
So, anyone else willing to chip in financially to help get this done?
OK guys. It seems that we have person who is willing to develop Frameserver to support Premiere CS5 64-bit version. Like I said before, I am willing to pay for it. Can we somehow agree to pay Mark for development. If it will be fluent and fast, we can contribute financialy. How can we arrange it?
Hi guy`s! I'm not sure that I can be here to write like that, but I hope that the administration of the forum will treat me loyally. In any case, I hasten to warn that it is not advertising!
On the site which is dedicated to like our requirements,I left a request for paid execution plugin Debug Mode Frame Server for 64-bit CS5. Responded to this proposal three people. One of them says that it is almost done. The price of issue of $500. Who cares, write to my email (taravasya@bigmir.net) I will try to gather as much people that like to each it was not very expensive.
Thanks for doing that, but before I contribute cash I'd like to a) get a competitive quote from the website linked to above, and b) be able to read, in English, what the brief you've posted and the response you've had is.
Not to mention test it out, even in an alpha/semi-functional state.
Yes, Colin, and that!
So, how do we start to write a brief for a programmer? I have never done anything like this..
We know what we want it to do: frameserve video from Premiere CS5.
We can demonstrate how it works from previous versions of Premiere, CS4 being the most relevant.
We know we want an opportunity to alpha and beta test it and to sign off on a release version.
What else needs to go into the mix to provide a clear and succinct brief to advertise for someone to do this? Anyone want to have a stab at writing it?
Man, I do not speak english properly. The site I was talking about, is the mediator between the free-lancers and customers. Of course i will be hard to communicate with you, but now I try to find someone who could communicate freely with you. And yet, .. I'm afraid,.. if we are here to discuss this issue, the administration will be banned us????
Mark,
If I understand that Google-translated post
above, it sounds like we don't need to do anything, and that one of the three interested coders already has a near-working version. I think that Satish, the original author of the frameserver, was making the source code available so that any interested party could just pick up and run with it. I don't know anything about coding, of course, but my guess would be that most of the structure and design is already in place, and that it was a matter of just packing it work within the 64-bit architecture and also with the new encoding model in CS5. In short, this shouldn't involve reinventing the wheel, though it may require some retracing of steps to get back to a point where the new encoding framework diverged from the old.
I'll try to find some time to shoot off an email to the poster who brought this up. I'm certainly not in a position to drop $500, personally, and even $100 is tight at this juncture, but if we had enough interested people (and this thing actually works!!!!), it could be more economical.
Ah, I read that google-translation completely the other way, as a brief to develop theframeserver, and offering $500 for someone to do so... it's a bit ambiguous actually...
The other link, that Stile35 posted, is for a site where you state your programming needs and programmers bid for the work
http://www.vworker.com/RentACoder/DotNet/default.aspx
Which is why I felt we needed to develop a brief.
As for the money, if we can indeed get enough people together to share the cost then it shouldn't be too much for any one person. Maybe we can create a closed group of people who pay a sum into escrow to enter and beta test, and when this is completed and the target raised the programmer gets paid? The question of course is what is the incentive to contribute towards the cost of something that will be made freely available as soon as it's been created? I suppose driven by need to have such a thing. I, for one, would find it bloody useful. Maybe not $500 useful, but certainly $50 useful.

Exactly! ![]()

Exactly again: http://code.google.com/p/frame-server/source/browse/#svn/trunk/src
and more: http://code.google.com/p/frame-server/wiki/BuildInstructions
we don't need to do anything
Not necessarily. As says - one head is good but two is better ... Maybe you can provide something like that, which I do not think ...
But the work itself with code of course we will not have to do. This will deal with the programmer.
PS// On my forum, there are three or four people willing to participate in this "scam" ![]()
So... I'm still looking for an assistant to communicate in english with you.
Guys I honestly do not know ... After two or three days, the plugin will be ready to use (the one on the video - it's a debug version). I need to somehow collect $500, that would have to pay a person for work performed. I live in Ukraine. The programmer in Russia.
Anybody can offer a more or less convenient way to raise money? May be somebody already transferred money to our countrys?
Hi everybody. We have fully functionality plugin. And some improves....

As I mentioned above you can send money to MoneyBookers. My email address in this system:

also
transfer amount and MTCN (Money Transfer Control Number),
city, state / province, country money sent from.
And please, check:
This transaction is not concemed with business or investment activities.
mark__m!! As i understand, its you did the transfer to my PayPal? I want to tale you,,, hmm... Here:
http://savdink.com/showthread.php?t=28482
on my forum, i do the public relation with users who want to participate in this donation. Where in the first topic you can see how many i collect at the current time. (now it`s ~260$ - Commission for the withdrawal of funds(~10%)).
In addition, I offer you to use the debug version, the one that I have on hand. True it has some bugs, and there is no installer (you need to create keys in the registry, copy files and folders manualy, register codec manualy). If you are interested, just tell me. I will give you the files and describe what should be done that would have working DMFS.
A final version, I can get as soon as collect all money(500$). And right after that of course ше will distribute it to all the participants ... And then (later, when those who are greedy, will be nervous
) are likely to give the sources to Satish.
Thanks anyway....
OK, I'm somewhat interested in this. I was really hoping that it was going to let us use the AME queue to set up multiple exports, but even though you can queue up several frameserved items in AME, it doesn't look like it will close a previous connection and set up a new one. That would really be worth paying for, but this is impressive nonetheless.
So, what sort of guarantees do we have that we're actually going to get a fully functioning product, or any product, for that matter? It's obvious that the plug-in is working now, but that doesn't mean we'll wind up with that. I'm assuming that if we donate, we won't have to pay for anything again, and we'll receive any updates for free. Do we have a means of communicating with the coder to fix bugs or add features, or is this sort of a matter of "you get what you get?"
Anyway, I'm intrigued.
First. How do you imagine queue with FrameServer? Theoretically possible to do so, that then system is idle, serving would be stopped automatically. But how does it understand programm what use signpost file, such AVISinth, or ProCoder ?.... To do this, will have to write something totally not related to DebugMode...
it doesn't look like it will close a previous connection and set up a new one.
Generaly, if press the stop serving, is exactly as you say. Old signpost avi, removed, and immediately activated a new export. And mind you, due to the fact that the settings DebugMode moved into a dialogue Premiere, is now no need to click the Next button.... But what do we make of it? In principle, it is probably possible to implement in AVISinth, writing some sort of clever script.. I don`t know. May be you can suggest something?..
So, what sort of guarantees
As I said in the previous one post, when all is finished, the sources will be given to the officially developer. Later he will make official release. This is the first. Second only to good-natured to me, the attitude of the programmer. At the moment, all my requests to them properly implemented.
While this is certainly not a guarantee ... But actually before that DMFS was distributed without any warranty too...
Do we have a means of communicating with the coder to fix bugs or add features, or is this sort of a matter of "you get what you get?"
Ofcause you can communicate with him. But he is unlikely to be able to properly communicate with you. Is that too with a translator, as I ![]()
Who needs his email I can tell, but not on the forum page (which would hide his email from spammers)
you can queue up several frameserved items in AME
I've been more thought. If we make an automatic stop serving, then queue from AME can use those programs for which provided a "watch folder" But then create queue, need to ensure to it that would be the name of each output file to be unique.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Obviously, there needs to be some sort of "intelligence" on the part of the frameserver to know when to terminate its current process, and then relaunch; the AME queue, as far as I can imagine, would be able to handle the relaunching of the frameserver. Perhaps an "autopilot" option could be added to the frameserver that would automatically "click" the Next and Stop Serving buttons when there is a lack of serving activity for a certain duration of time--60 to 120 seconds, for example. I don't think we need to worry about unique names too much as it appears that the plug-in already respects the name of the queued sequence or file. So long as those are different, there shouldn't be any problems. Obviously, your third-party encoding app needs watch folders, but I think many of the major ones do--Sorenson Squeeze, for instance.
The reason I'm interested in the queuing ability is that, theoretically, with the capability of network frameserving, we can effectively offload our encoding to another computer and continue working on the primary computer, with no major hit in performance. As far as I'm concerned, that's the main reason I'm interested in this plug-in.
