FCP plays back tooo slow

Hey Kids, I am running FCP 5.0 on a Mac Pro 2.8 8-core processor on Mac OSX 10.5.2 and it's too sluggish on play back. I have the 8800 NVIDIA card installed from Mac and this should REALLY be fast. My old Mac Power PC G5 1.6 single processor ran it better than this. My setting in FCP should be correct: In system settings I am running things in safe mode (not in RT) Video Quality is Low, Frame rate is Dynamic, so what's wrong? The audio plays back fine but the Canvas view is stuck on one frame until I press stop. Thanks a lot guys....

I know someone was recently looking for the 5.1.4 upgrade and Apple has taken it down from their site...all other searches were fruitless.
You could try finding 5.1.4 or Final Cut Studio 1 on Ebay, but I've never trusted software from Ebay.
Here's the link for upgrading on the apple site...$699

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage and it is playing back in slow motion?

Hi. Quick question I am working with Panasonic GH3 footage shot using .MOV wrapper with their IPB 50mbps and All-Intra 72MBPS codecs and they are playing back in slow motion in Sg CC. The footage works fine in PP CC and I have no clue on how to fix it. Is this a bug or do I a have a setting wrong some place?

Yes it turns red this is silly PP and AE have no problem with playback for these codecs. So it is indeed Sg not handling the codec correctly and not my system?
What if I transcoded it to something else other than the previous what would you reccommend?
I was going to transcode to ProRes but 5DtoRGB does not work on Windows with GH3 codecs.
What is the correct time warp seting under clip properties? I screwed with it and forgot the default setting.
Is there a way to reset Sg back to defaults settings globaly. I tried to many settings trying to fix the playback and may have left something in the wrong state.
Thanks...

Imported audo plays back too slow

I dragged and dropped a 48k wav file into GB and it played back slow. Is GB set to 44.1? Do I need to convert it 44.1k?

you have been SO HELPFUL ! thanks !! we need more people like you.
so you are saying i can render out an .flv file and just rename the extension to .swf ?? would this be a smaller file ? i cant seem to get the .swf file smaller than 56 megs out of after effects, the only way would be to make the actual size (600x336) smaller....but this would make the animation too small on the screen....and i like the size of it now. i will try the .flv thing tonight.
the firefox thing fixed itself. this morning when i tried it, it played the flash file. slowly and sluggishly, like safari, but it played it back. so maybe it had to update ? dont know....not sure. thanks again....and let me know about renaming the file...can i just change the extension ?
thanks a million!!

TS2509 play back very slow

Im using motion 4 and it's playing very slow

There are many reasons (too many to list) why Motion will run slow since it is not and never has been about *playing* video. It is about creating effects and titles FOR video. I've created projects where Motion will only get < 1 frame per second on playback (that usually means I have to *simplify* the project considerably...) The only way you can guarantee a smooth up-to-speed playback is to Export your project to video and play the video in a player like Quicktime Player. However, IF you have the RAM for it, Motion 4 will render as much of the timeline it can fit in the available RAM it has to playback with RAM Preview (command - R), usually, at full speed for as much as it can render. Motion 5 does not do as good a job at that.
Lights are notorious for slowing Motion down, especially if you have shadows turned on (Spot and Point lights.) If you have reflections turned on; if you have emitters with high birth rates; if you have a lot of layers in 3D space; if Motion Blur is enabled; and the list goes on and on... You can temporarily turn off Lighting, Reflections, Shadows, and Depth of Field from the Render menu, which should help speed things up a little bit. You can turn off extra layers (isolate the view to a few specific objects at a time) to speed things up a little bit. But mostly, you're just going to have to get used to Motion slowing down as you progress through a project.

Why are the videos I take on my iPad mini playing back in slow motion?

I took a video of one of my tennis students on my iPad mini and when I went to view it, the video seemed like it was in slow motion or skipping frames. It definitely wasn't smooth and in normal time. The strange thing is that I shot the video again on my wife's iPad 2 and it did the same thing.

If you have a computer, you can import the photos to the computer and then delete them for the iPad. You don't even need iTunes to so this, because you aren't syncing, you are importing.
take a look at this.

Satellite Pro P100-465 Vista - video play back stutters, slows down

I'm at my wits end :-(
uninstalled drivers - re installed drivers - updated drivers (nvidia don't even list the 7600 Go graphics card for vista - used other site recommmened in this site) - changed screen resolution, changed screen bits depth, removed anti virus - plenty of system resources available yet on every single video file playback slows down and speeds up or stutters especially bad when i full screen.
Tried different video files and dvds, different codecs and players, vlc, media player classic, neros show time, WMP etc etc all are effected. Seems like others have had similar problems and thought maybe they had some more ideas to solve this one ??
Is there something i haven't tried ? please let me know... thanks for your help

I have found a thread about very similar issue.

Rental play back very slow

I am having major delay on on my apple TV, netflix works perfect and the speed on my wireless router is up to speed. Movie rental are taking over an hour to play. Any advise

The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

Videos taken with my iPhone 5 play back fine on my phone, but are too slow when imported to my PC. Everything seems updated. HELP!!

When I take a video with my iPhone 5, it plays back great on my phone. However, when I upload to my computer it plays back extremely slow, or the image freezes while the audio keeps going. I've tried Windows Media Player, Quicktime, VLC media player, and they are all updated. So is my computer software. I never had this problem with my previous iPhone 3Gs. This is very annoying, help!!

I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???

Playing back audio - can I slow it down and also lower the pitch?

For old-time's sake, I have recently recorded a bunch of old cassettes of me and my mates larking about 20 years ago. The idea is to transfer them to digital format.
However, the cassette recorder we used ran slightly slow, and so when the tapes are played they play back slightly fast with everything at slightly too high a pitch.
I recorded each side of each cassette on a pair of mono tracks in Logic (as there is a noticeable difference in the volume level on the left & right tracks, which I want to correct).
When bouncing to a stereo file, I want the project to play back slightly slow, so it corrects both the speed and pitch issues of the original recordings. The question is - how do I do this? Reducing the tempo setting makes no difference!
I've just installed Logic 9 and Flex Mode looks very useful for reducing the speed of audio files... but it doesn't appear to also lower the pitch.
Can anybody help, please?

Aha! Sussed it!
Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!

Slow motion not playing back after 8.02

I have iPhone 6 plus. I shot a couple of slow-motion videos when device had iOS 8.0. I just noticed that these videos are not playing back in slow-mo after the upgrade to iOS 8.02. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions?

i noticed this too. Definitely something happened during an update. Whether it be 8.02 or IG update or something.
Before if I wanted to upload a vid on instagram with slow mo, I did where I want the slow mo part in default photos app, then it would apply in IG automatically, now IG or any app just plays the vid at regular speeds.

Problem playing back HDV from FCP HD

FCP 5.0.4
I am doing my first HD project and am experiencing a problem I cannot solve.
Using both a Sony HDV HC1 and Sony HDR FX1 as playback devices, I cannot get the video to play back from FCP using HDV1080i60. Under Video playback, the options for the HDV are grayed out for the only firewire options:HDV(1440 x 1080) 30fps and 25fps. However, the option exists under Print To Video, and when chosen, will send HD1080i60p video to the cam>hi def monitor.
I have tried every possible setting on both cams to find a solution. Using DV NTSC I can get a work around. The cam's will both capture and control via FCP. Thanks for any advice.

No HDV decks will allow you to monitor external video from FCP through them UNLESS they are in the recording mode. So they just don't support this like DV devices do.
You need to look at a card for this. Least expensive would be the Intensity cards from Decklink. I like the MXO from Matrox too for this too... does more output, but has no input... I use an Io HD for that... and turn that slow rendering HDV to ProRes.. much faster rendering, and visually lossless.

Slow playing back swf files

Hello,
I am running OSX 10.4 11 server and have an internal web site I am running. It's on a G4 Xserve with 4GB of RAM. Not that many people access the internal site so I don't think it's the load, but I guess you never know.
anyhow, I created this swf file about 400k and they are very slow opening and playing back.
any clues on what it may be or what I can check?
Thanks,

The way your doing it now can get really confusing over time.
save a reffrence in an object or an array that would indecate to you if it was loaded allready or not for example the full switch you have up there could of been this instead:
1. give your clips there URL so you don't need to ask for it again if your working with movielclips for your buttons or if you created a class for them just give it a public var such as 'actionURL'
so for example
btn1.actionURL = 'link1';
btn10.actionURL= 'link10';
now that everything knows what it loads all is left is for you to now follow after things
1. when the buton is clicked you can ask itself what is the url e.target.actionURL
2. you can then have a flag (boolean value such as isInTransition) that lets you know if there is an animation going on
2.1 there is no animation so lets load it up
2.2. ther is an animation so lets save the data and wait for the animation to complete before we start the load
and thats about it
if you want to save a reffrence to if the clip was loaded or not you can save your result in many ways one of them could be an object/array that holds everything that was loaded already
var oLoaded:Object= {};
onLoadNewItem(e:Event):void{
   if(!oLoaded[e.target.actionURL]){ i was never loaded before
       oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] = new Loader(....
   }else{
       oLoaded[e.target.actionURL] //here is my loader do with it what ever you want to do
hope this hit the nail on the head

Is it possible to play back an After Effects composition in slow motion? (CS6)

Hi,
I'd like to play back the composition in slow motion so I can make sure the animations are smooth.
I find that sometimes you see gaps in your animation when you play it back frame by frame but you only just notice that something might be off when you play the timeline back in real time. So this would be for "proofing" your footage. I find the frame by frame approach a bit tedious for a lengthy composition.
Is this possible?
Thanks

You can enforce a different framerate on the Preview palette.

Has anyone had a problem with fcp x not playing back a project since installing 10.0.9 update?

Has anyone had a problem with fcp x not playing back a project since installing 10.0.9 update?

Not here; updated three systems without issues.
Can you provide more details on your system specs, the projects you're referring to, and what kind of behavior you're encountering?
