Adding frames in a slow-motion scène

Hi
I slowed my video down to a speed of 5% using the speed option & then I used the motion blur option to soften the transitions between the frames a bit. Its still kind of messy I think, is there a filter or anoption that adds new frames so the slow motion results in a more gliding image then a bumpy looking one?
Thanx
O.H.

Go to Video Filters under Effects, select Time and then Trails. Should do the trick.
Good luck!

  • More frames for super slow motion

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure something out and I think I need some help.
    I do highlight videos of assorted stuff and I wanna do a super slow motion effect. Nothing longer than a second on real time, but blow it to 10 seconds on slow motion.
    When I do this I obviously get various issues and it looks horrible.
    I cannot reshoot the footage with another camera or with a higher shutter speed. This is stuff done at a particular event and they just give me the footage from the truck.
    I was wondering if there's any software, plug-in, effect or technique to achieve this super slow motion look but without the light "blinks" or "stop motion" you get when you go really slow.
    I think what I may need to do is to find a way to create extra frames (somehow) to get a smooth effect/transition between frame, but I just can't achieve it.
    Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thanx.
    PS: If motion or compressor can do this, that would be great too.

    you've answered your own question!
    both Motion and Compressor can be used to create a better quality slowmo

  • Log and transfer not changing frame rate to slow motion on P2 cards...

    Hello.
    I swear I have done this before on final cut studio 2 and it came out correctly, but for some reason this time, either myself or the computer is making an error. (chances are it's me).
    Basically, I'm logging and transferring footage that was shot on P2 at 50 fps, and my intention is to import it at 23.98 fps. I thought this is something that naturally happens in the log and transfer process, but i guess not?
    My project was set up via easy set up at panasonic dvcproHD frame rate 23.98... and I'm logging an d transferring directly into my browser but the f frame rate stays at 50 fps. (footage was shot in England to be incorporated into a video already shot in America).

    I thought this is something that naturally happens in the log and transfer process, but i guess not?
    Your guess is right...it DOES NOT slow it down upon injest. ONLY if you set the camera up to shoot 720p25 and then choose the 50 frame rate (I hear this is what you do...I am not a camera guy, so...), then it will import slowed down. But you have to set the camera up CORRECTLY. The first time I imported slow mo, it was 60p...and I had to use the Frame Rate Converter to slow the clips. Then my camera guy figured out the setting in camera and BOOM...there it was.
    So...I guess you are NOT wrong...actually. It just needs to be set up IN CAMERA in order to do what you want.
    and I don't know if the Frame Rate Converter works for PAL footage...stupid, but...no...Stupid.

  • Smooth Slow Motion from 50 fps Clip in 50 fps Timeline

    If I want 50% smooth slow motion from a 50 FPS video clip, I would normally ask PP to interpret that clip as 25 FPS - that works great.
    If however I import the 50 FPS video clip and interprett it as 50 FPS, I would have to set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% to get the same level of slow motion.
    The question is - when I follow the latter method, does PP create new frames for the slow motion or is it clever enough to use all the frames from the original 50 FPS video clip? to put it another away, does PP always generate NEW frames for slow motion or does it try to use the frames we are attempting to ignore?
    I've done some basic tests and so far I can't see any real difference between the two methods. This leads me to beleive PP is effectively using all of the original 50 frames when the 50 fps video clip is imported into a 50 fps timeline and then slowed down in the timeline by 50%. - if this is the case, well done PP!!! If this is not the case, then it would be a welcomed enhancement in future releases.
    I guess what you are all wondering is why would I want to import a 50 fps video clip into a 50 fps timeline and then slow it down in the timeline - well, as a wedding Videographer, it is simply because some parts of the video need to be in slow motion and other parts like messages and speeches need to be interpreted at normal speed. If playback in the timeline is at normal speed, i find it simpler to slow down the "Walking Down the Isle" clips rather than having to speed up the speeaches and messages.
    In short, when importing 50 fps video for smooth slow motion, are both the following methods equally effective in terms of smooth motion?
    Method 1: Import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline
    Method 2: import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline and set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% - I'm assuming PP does not generate new frames and gets them from the original 50 fps file instead..
    To put it another way, does PP ALWAYS attempt to generate new fromes when slowing down video in the timeline? When extra frames are available in the original video file, does PP try to get the extra frames from that file instead of generating new ones?

    I recorded 2 video clips of the same scene. The camera was panning from right to left.
    First video clip - recorded at 25 fps
    second video clip - recorded at 50 fps
    Both video clips recorded at the same panning speed of the same scene.
    1. If I import the 25 fps video into 25 fps timeline and slow it down by 50%, the exported video looks jerky.
    2. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline, the exported video looks smooth motion.
    3. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline, slow it down in the timeline by 50%, and export the video as 25 fps then the result is still smooth motion.
    I've only done the experiment once and may have to repeat to be absolutely sure.

  • My slow motion effect won't work... HELP ME!!!

    I really need some help here. The original version of Imovie that came with my OS X worked great when it came to adding the effect of slow motion with the little bar at the bottom. I just recently purchased the Ilife 05 package and was all excited to get editing... but now I can't get the slow motion effect to work at all. It does all the rendering of the clip but the effect does not appear in my time line!!! What is wrong??? Please help me!!!

    Hey Karsten... I'm back again...
    Yes you guessed correctly... but I never want to see another pc in my life. Now about my prob... I did as you said and still nada. I wish the upgraded version in the Ilife 05 package still had the slow motion control at the bottom of the main screen like in the prior version, but they have taken it off of the main screen and placed in the special effects folder as "fast/slow/reverse". and it is here that it slows the clip down in the preview and renders the clip with the red bar on the main time line. But the red bar on the bottom of the clip in the time line doesn't move and ofcourse the clip is not put in slow motion.
    My brother is quite savy with Mac as well and he can't figure it out either. What do you think???

  • What is the best afordable/free Slow motion plugin for AE CS6?

    Howdy! I am new here and I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. I need a affordable or Free is even better plugin for AE CS6 to do some editing on GoPro footage and some other High fps video. I really want a smooth and minimal blur effect. Doesn't have to be perfect but better than what I got now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Teflon

    MOST PEOPLE do not understand frame rates and slow motion. High frame rate compositions do not improve slow motion. Video works the same way that film does. Shoot at a high frame rate and playback every frame on a projector that is running slower than your camera was running. Simple as that.
    Time remapping with frame blending is included with AE. If you shoot with your GoPro at 60 or higher just open the footage in AE, interpret the footage as 29.97 or other standard frame rate like 24 or 23.976, then drop the footage in a comp with the same frame rate and you'll have you slow mo with no problem. That's the same thing as shooting film at 60fps or 100fps and threading up the film in a projector that runs 24fps. If you want to slow it down further use Time Remapping.
    The only other really good plug-in is Twixtor, but that's expensive. All others are about the same as what's included with AE.

  • New Sequence Question - for slow motion video

    Hi,
    I'm a very new user of Premier.  I've recently had issues with choppy playback of my preview videos.  After much research I believe the issue was down to two things.  Firstly my sequence did not match my input clip, I had it set to my desired output.  Secondly, I was editing video across my network, rather than bringing it locally to my PC.  I've fixed the latter issue by copying video files to my local machine and then moving them back onto the network once I've finished editing.
    The advice out there essentially seems to be to match your sequence to your primary input video.  I've done that and it helps.  However, it's raised a big question for me.  My input video is from a GoPro and is at 1080p 50fps.  I ultimately want my output video to be slowed down to 25fps (resulting in a constant slow motion effect throughout the entire sequence). 
    If my sequence settings are set to match the input clip (50fps) and I slow the video down by 50%, will that result in an unsmooth video?  My basic understanding is that if I slow 50fps video down by 50% then Premier will have to double the amount of frames.  Where as previously, if I slowed it down by 50% Premier had enough frames to play with as the output video was 25fps.
    Hopefully my question makes sense!  Any advice on what the best approach is?  Or is this a complete non-issue when it comes to exporting the video (providing I export to a 25fps formart)?
    Thanks,

    I think you said it OK, you are just missing the right words to do what you want. Let's walk through this for you, and for others that might read it later.
    If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a sequence created from it, then slow it down 50% it doubles up each frame to achieve slow motion. Not what you want.
    If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a 25 fps sequence, it drops half the frames to play at normal speed. Not what you want.
    What you want to do is interpret the 50 fps video to 25 fps, then drop it into a 25 fps sequence. Each frame will play at 25 fps and generally be smooth as silk.
    I don't have any 50 fps clips handy, but here are examples of taking 60 fps to 30 fps. (Excuse the idiot way that we Americans do things. Our 30 is actually 29.97 etc)
    First, right click on the clip in the Project Panel, select Modify, and Interpret Footage. Then change the 50 to 25 - similar to this image:

  • Slow motion, subtitles and extracting freeze frames

    hi friend,
    had a few queries if someone can help.
    1) want to play a single clip in a project in slow motion. how can it be done?
    2) can subtitles of the voice be added? there are only three titles and only possibility to have one in a clip.
    3) can a freeze frame be exported as a photo to camera roll or photos? or can a still frame in a video be extracted as a photo and sent to the camera roll?
    thanx,

    1. You will need to buy an slow motion video app.
         There are a few in the app store that slow down video that is already shot.
         Export the slowed video to the camera roll, and use it in iMovie.
    2. Subtitling is not an option in iMovie.
         You can add 'middle' titles, but using this to make subtitles would be slow, and add transitions which is anoying.
    3. There are apps that can make stills from video.
         Or you can do a screen grab of the ipad; hold power and Home button.

  • Slow motion is skipping a frame help !!

    I am trying to make a skate edit when I slow motion a trick then let it play in regular time the end of slow motion skips plenty of frames what do I doooof

    Not a particularly complete answer ... ...
    though from what you've stated it's not a particularly capable machine. These programs are resource/hardware intensive.
    To "render" a timeline, you select a section, right-click, and from the options that pop up choose "render" that section. It means that PrPro will create a "preview" for that area to use in playback, though any time you change anything on that bit you'll need to render it again.
    NOT the same as render-out meaning to export out for other use.

  • What is the suggested frame rate to record in for fast / slow motion processing from a clip recorded

    I want to create a video however I only have 1 dslr camera and I want the ability to post process the clips I record to be either in slow motion or fast motion. I don't want to have to record something in 24fps then 60fps. is there an ideal frame rate for both. What are some of the best practices for this in regards to recording and post processing in Premiere Pro.
    Example of fast and slow video. Thanks.
    http://vimeo.com/75259949

    The ideal is to shoot in different frame rates, one for real time footage and one for fast or slow motion clips.  This is called under and overcranking.  It means you have to decide when shooting whether the clip will be real time or not.
    Less than ideal is to shoot everything at one frame rate and then slow it down or speed it up later.  It's less than ideal because the effect is never as perfect as the ideal method.  Especially in PP, which does not do very well with slow motion to the point I recommend using After Effects instead.  (At least with 24 fps media.)
    On a side note, you can help solve the horrible slow-motion problem:

  • Slow motion 50% export H.264 MOV (at half frame rate)

    Hi,
    I'm using a QuickTime MOV file (H.264, 1080p/59.94fps, 15 seconds) and have set slow motion to 50% (= 30 seconds).
    Can anyone confirm that when I export this clip to 29.97fps I won't lose frames?
    I have Compressor and think I found nearly all required settings except:
    - Key frames - shall I use automatic or 24 or what? (How can I find out what the original key frame value was?)
    - Frame reordering - shall I uncheck this option? (What does it mean? It's not in the manual.)
    Many thanks!

    If you want to make absolutely sure you won't lose frames, you should manually set a project to 29.97fps, import your 60/59.94fps and conform the video (Retime menu > Conform Speed [the retime menu is the 2nd one from the left over the effects browser area/under the inspector area]). FCPX will automatically frame for frame adjust the video to fit to the slower frame rate.
    Key frames (video compression, not animation):  a key frame is a complete image -- 100% pixels in use. Every frame between the key frames are only the parts of the image that change from the last frame (like Cel animation). Setting Automatic allows the software to make the best choices of when and where to create a complete frame. Otherwise, you can experiment with different values (up to All, which is pretty much no compression) to see what kinds of results you get and the overall quality (use very short pieces, like 5 -10 seconds.)  High motion areas in video are always going to be the most challenging with respect to compression (particularly bitrate), so... it's worth figuring out what settings you like that will give the best results (and 5-10second clips don't take that long to render.) I generally use Automatic and adjust the bitrates to give the best overall results (which occasionally requires testing segments.)
    Frame reordering:  allows applications to "decompress" video frames in a different order than they are played, thereby allowing those apps that understand it a way to work faster. Larry Jordan suggests that this setting always be set for H.264 video (although I don't if I'm uploading to YouTube -- I try not to give YouTube any excuses for recompressing my video, so I try to have it already optimized before uploading... so far, it seems to be working.)

  • Hello. My iphone 4, iOS 6.1.3 gone wild....everything is going in slow motion, every app i open is running in frames...i tried reseting the handset, with back-up, without backup(as a new iPhone) and the result is the same. Help ! Apple? Anybody ?

    Hello. My iphone 4, iOS 6.1.3 gone wild....everything is going in slow motion, every app i open is running in frames...i tried reseting the handset, with back-up, without backup(as a new iPhone) and the result is the same. My battery percentage is going down down down only by looking at my phone, imess is making me crazy, after i write the name for the recipient the keyboard appears after 2 min...and the list is looooong...everything is gone wild ! Why? What can i do ?

    I'm having similar issues just lately. The phone itself is very slow to respond to the touch, just scrolling between home screens is a chore at times. There have been about 2 incidents of random vibration from it. Closing home screen folders takes a couple of attempts. I find that I'm also having delayed keyboard responses when typing messages to my contacts.
    Also, sometimes when I press the sleep/wake button it takes about 30 seconds to register it and actually lock or wake up.
    Have you experienced the backlight failing to light up? Like if I get a message it flashes up then goes black straight after and when you press the sleep/wake or home button it lights up again but very very dimly and you have to press the sleep/wake button as if locking it and then press it again to bring the screen up properly?
    Mine is also on 6.1.3(10B329), model MD245B/A, obviously not Jailbroken, carrier unlocked from Vodafone (but that was months and months ago). Roughly 17gb of storage space left.
    This has only started happening in the last 2 weeks. Haven't tried the reset or anything yet though.

  • Working with slow motion/mixed frame rates

    Hello!
    Just wondering what the best solution is for slow motion. The majority of my footage is shot on DSLRs in 1080 at 29.97fps, so this is my sequence and project setting, however, I also have some slow motion clips shot in 1080 at 96fps. I have tried selecting the slow motion clips to Modify, Interpret Footage, Assume this frame rate but for some reason it's not slowing down in the playback and the metadata is still saying the clip is shot in 29.97fps. Am I forgetting something?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I have the same issue, I have tried with CS6 and CC same issue.
    even with the sony plugin.

  • Slow motion and frame rate and shutter speed

    I have two cameras that record 60i and three that use 30p. Neither of the 60i cameras has a 30p option (one has a pf30).  If I understand how FCPx handles this, if I drop both frame rates into a project, I get 30p out, correct?  In effect de-interlacing the 60i footage to 30p. Is it best to import the 30p footage first to set that frame rate so that the 60i gets rendered to 30p?
    We're producing a fishing DVD so good quality motion footage is important. This is an instructional DVD so I will be using some retiming to slow footage down to illustrate key points in the instruction.
    I've read a lot of stuff on 1080i 60i vs. pf30 vs.30p vs. 24fps and benefits of using 720p vs. 1080i.  Also looked at information on slow vs. fast shutter speeds.
    So, the bottom line to get the best motion results for the DVD, I should be shooting at best bit rate possible, use 1080i 60i or 30p depending on the camera and let FCPx set everything to 30p.  Correct?

    For the 1080/60i media, it is best to have FCPX conform it to 30p (29.97p). [30p is a real timing: 30 exact frames per second, but it is not broadcast compliant. 29.97 is quite often simply referred to as 30, just for simplicity and/or laziness. The final decision for which to use rests with you. Also note, like "30 fps", 60 more often refers to 59.94 fps... for the same reasons.]
    As for your target being DVD: DVD is always 480 lines whether it is anamorphic (16:9) or standard 4:3. If you would like to have "enhanced" slow motion, my recommendation would be to shoot in 720/60p (which is genuinely progressive "60" frames per second) and will give a slightly better edge on slow motion effects (retiming). That said, FCPX retiming is usually quite good no matter what the frame rate (frame blending recommended over optical flow [which tends to give a "morphing" effect when pushed too far].)  1280x720 frame size will give you plenty of downsampling resolution for DVD as well.  [I *believe* that FCPX will use all of the 60fps available from the original video in retiming, even if the frame rate of the project is slower than the original media; so, 720/60p conformed to a 30p project and retimed to 50% will use every frame of the 60p slowed down by half... (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!)]
    Best bitrate is also an important feature, but that is not due to the choice of format as much as that provided by the camera itself. Bitrates out of the camera may be relative to the frame size (they are in my consumer camcorders). A common consumer grade camcorder will top out at a bitrate (for 1080) somewhere between 17.5 and 22.5 Mbps, whereas an HD capable DSLR will usually top out at (easily) *twice* as much (45Mbps average from my Canon T4i) or more. Furthermore, the DVD standard imposes framerate restrictions (max is somewhere between 5 and  8Mbps -- the software that creates your DVDs will usually transcode for best bitrate, so not something you really need to bother with - just set the transcoder to best possible quality and provide it with the best quality video that's reasonable.) Whichever camera provides the highest bitrate should be your "main" camera.
    As you may have discovered: another factor for a quality video regardless of camera is shutter speed. If you set the shutter speed too high (faster than twice the frame rate) then you will have "stuttering" issues (there will be "gaps" from still frame to still frame). Keep the shutter speed at the same or no more than twice the frame rate: e.g., for 1080/30p (target) the shutter speed should never be more than 1/60th of a second (I'll use 1/30th, 1/40th, or 1/50th usually). I haven't shot a lot of 720/60p, but I think I would still keep the shutter speed at between 1/60th and 1/120th exclusively [that is -- I wouldn't go as high as 1/120th or greater... but that's me... you should experiment for best results for you.  If this creates exposure issues, then consider neutral density filters or circular polarizing filters to help bring scenes into exposure range (via aperture or iso or both.)

    Good luck! Have a good shoot!

  • Slow Motion and Frame Rates?

    Hi I have a Sony NEX-VG20EH camera and it has an adjustable frame rate. I have put the frame rate on 8000 and recorded some footage. When i load it into Premiere it is still showing as 50.00 fps. I want to do some slow motion stuff but when i slow it down to 10% it is still quite "jumpy". Any ideas?

    While many cameras DO offer the ability to "overcrank" for a short duration, such as to capture a golf swing in slow-motion, I looked at the specs for your camera and don't see that feature listed.
    Raising the shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter duration during the exposure of each frame of video. At slow shutter speeds, fast motion will look blurred on a freeze frame or during slow playback, because the subject moved quite a bit during the time the shutter was open. A fast shutter will "freeze" each moment in time clearly, but also lowers light sensitivity, so best used outdoors in good light.
    It can be fun to play with shutter speeds - on my honeymoon, I was shooting the airplane prop out my window and cranked up the shutter speed until the prop STOPPED and I could read the serial number off of it in my viewfinder!! Note this was in the old days with CCD sensors - the new CMOS sensors have skew which warps the image in many cases.
    Note that very high shutter speeds will result in choppy motion, so only use as needed.
