Adjust frame rate in iMovie?

Have some video made on a Canon G9 digital rangefinder camera that was shot in a stop freeze frame mode instead of reg video. Is there a way to slow down the frame rate in iMovie. This clip is mixed with a bunch of still photos and other video clips shot in normal mode, and it looks a bit too jumpy.
Thx

No.
iM offers only standard conform framerates (25/29.97), and does not offer any effects as slow-mo
follow illustrated advice, using free tool *JES Deinterlacer* on my site:

  • Frame rate difference, iMovie 10.0

    My video in the library plays at a much higher frame rate than when I put it into the project window, and after exporting it is still on the lower end even at the highest quality.  Anyone have any ideas as to whats wrong or how I might adjust the quality in the project area?

    I found a note thru Google which said that the latest version of iMovie fixed whether to use PAL or NTSC from what the first bit of video added to the project was - I mean if the first video was a bit of PAL, then iMovie made a PAL video regardless of whether any of the other bits of video were PAL or NTSC.
    So the suggestion was to make a tiny 30 second blank bit of PAL and use that as the FIRST section of film added to the project.
    If you find this reference again do let me have the link.
    The last version of iMovie has what you need, but not the very latest version which works as I've described above - automatically setting the output from the first section.

  • HOW DO I CHANGE FRAME RATE IN iMOVIE 10.0.5?

    WHERE IS THE OPTION TO CHANGE THE FRAME RATE OF A VIDEO IN iMOVIE 10.0.5? I JUST CAN NOT FIND IT, IT USED TO BE ON THE BAR IN THE OPTION OF PROJECT PROPERTIES BUT IT IS NOT THERE ANYMORE, PLEASE HELP.

    The DV specification is to use drop frame TC. Unless you have a camera that's switchable all DV NTSC will be drop frame, which is why FCE works in drop frame. This is not a function you can switch in FCE. You would need to work with Final Cut Pro to get this functionality.

  • Adjust Frame Rate

    iMovie default frame rates are 25fps for Pal or 29.97 for NTSC.
    With iMovie 09 there are a few software workarounds to get iMovie to maintain the frame rate as your original or to render an AIC file at full 50/60fps.
    I want to maintain the 50 fps as my original HD footage, but with iMovie 06 (my favoured editing package) - Can this be done ??

    Many thanks - A straight forward answer. Still wish Apple would release iMovie 6 for developers to run with and make a few tweaks as I still love it as a program over and above other editors for simple throwing together of clips!!

  • After adjusting frame rate audio is too slow

    I was having trouble with my video being too slow (Nikon d5300 recording at 1920x1080 and 60i frame rate) and I changed it from 59.94 to 29.97 and it corrected my video but now my audio is too slow. What can I change now to fix audio so that the video stays corrected?

    I hope this is what you guys were talking about.

  • In what frame rate (fps) iMovie for iOS exports videos?

    I shot two similar clips with an iPhone 6. One in 30fps and the other in 60fps just to see how much smoother would the slow motion be in iMovie. The clip shot in 60fps worked great even when slowed down by 1/2. The odd thing was, that when i reset both clips to normal, original speed and whatched the movie in in full screen in iMovie, I noticed that the smoothness of the clip shot in 60fps is gone and both clips look like they were shot in 24fps or 30fps.
    So my question is, in what framerate iMovie exports projects? And is there a way to export in 60fps?
    Thank you for your help!

    Sadly it appears that ALL exports are converted to 30p only incuding Prores !, some like iCloud Sharing are even less 720/30p 5Mbps
    True for iMovie for iOS and latest iMovie for Mac that does not have anymore "export to Quicktime" that enabled 60p export
    Big regression only driven by marketing issues,
    Final Cut Pro X solve the problem on Mac OSX
    Pinnacle Studio solve the problem on IOS 8

  • Can I import clips using a frame rate of 60 or higher?

    I have a sony cx260v that allows me to record in a rate of 60 fps. However when I attempt to upload the footage taken in this frame rate to iMovie 11 9.0.4 it shows as a blocked clip and does not allow me to upload.
    Any ideas?

    Yes, you can re-import them, but it's not that straightforward, and you loose some quality in the process. Search for "MPEG Streamclip" or "DVD camcorder" in this forum, and you will find lots of answers.
    Alternatively, you can make data DVDs with your DV clips. Simply pop in an empty DVD, and drap the DV clips you want to export into the burn folder. A normal DVD can hold about 20 minutes of DV clips, a dual layer DVD twice as much.

  • 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.

  • Video frame rates

    Is therestill no support for importing at 1080/50p and editing at this frame rate in iMovie'11? I believe FCPX now has it.

    You asked this question on the FCE forum. I answered you there. Which application are you using?

  • What frame rate?

    What frame rate & key frames settings should I export my HD video in? Any other setting suggestions to get the highest quality HD video would greatly be appreciated.

    Hi
    A. Can You set key-frame rate in iMovie'08 - Didn't know this. In FinalCut Yes.
    I set same as project requires.
    B. 25 fps = PAL interlaced for TV. 29.97 = NTSC for TV
    For 720i and 720p resp 1080i or p - Don't know. My guess 25/50 or 29.97/60.

  • Timeline frame rate and exposure correction capabilities of the latest iMovie

    My background. I have been trying to create movies made from clips that can be played back at 60 fps. I have been using a Nikon V1 camera for creating video clips. It records 1080 HD movies that are interlaced, but at 59.94 fps (Double NTSC) rather than the 60i standard of 29.98 fps (Standard NTSC). It also records 720p60 footage as well. I would like to maintain the temporal resolution of footage (the "video look") I get with the camera as well as perform good exposure and color correction on dark/underexposed footage. I currently use iMovie '09 and Final Cut Express 4. My current computer runs on Snow Leopard, but I cannot update to Mavericks or Yosemite that the latest versions of iMovie or Final Cut Pro require. I intend to upgrade my computer in the next few months, but what I get will depend on what video editing software I figure I will need. Hard tech specs regarding this version of iMovie, however, are hard to come by. I am hoping someone with experience using the latest version of iMovie can help answer a couple of questions.
    Regarding timeline frame rate - right now both iMovie '09 and FCE 4 destroy the "video look" I want by forcing the frame rate to go down to 30 fps in the timeline. Does the current version of iMovie support a true 60 fps in the timeline? Playing with the software and provided skateboarding footage at a local Apple Store indicates it does. And does it handle interlaced footage? Also, can it handle 24 fps footage (which another camera of mine records at) actually at 24 fps?
    With regards to exposure and color correction, I find iMovie '09's capabilities lacklustre. If a clip needs better correction than iMovie can deliver, I import the clip into FCE 4 and either use the "Color Corrector" filter along with highlight and midtone exposure sliders to improve the exposure, or Gamma correction along with some hue adjustments. Can iMovie adjust midtones, highlights, and shadows separately, or do Gamma correction, or does it just do basic exposure and contrast correction?
    Would I be better off considering using Final Cut Pro X instead of iMovie.

  • How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

    To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
    Thank you!

    Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
    Thanks.

  • How can I change the frame rate of a project in imovie 10?

    My problem is: I made a gopro movie with a frame rate of 50 fps. I imported it to imovie. So far so good.
    Scrubbing over the clip i found one single frame which looked amazing. So I draged some seconds of that clip into the timeline (the project if you will).
    The goal was to make a freeze frame out of this "spezial" frame.
    Unfortunately I could not find this frame in the timeline any more - it's gone.
    I think imovie dropped half of the frames to fit the clip into the projekt, which I assume is using 24-25fps.
    The only solution I found is to decrease the speed of the clip to let's say 50%.
    But is there a better way?
    Can I change the frame rate of the projekt somehow? I think it was possible in imovie 11.
    many thanks
    Rainer
    (from austria)

    iMovie 10 won't share at 50 fps and so for 25 fps output probably drops every other frame.  This is different from Imovie 9 which could handle 50 fps.  However, if you do 50% speed it will use all the available frames so that is indeed the way to find the frame you want.  After you have made a freeze frame I think you can switch the clip back to normal speed.  I am not aware of a better way in iMovie 10  By the way there is also no facility to export a still of a frame in iMovie.
    As a GoPro user I think FCP 10.1 would be the best choice.

  • Clip frame rate wrong in imovie 11

    Ever since I upgraded to imovie 11 all of my video clips show a 60 in a yellow frame - both in events and projects - with the message "indicates clip frame rate (60fps) is not a multiple of the current project (25 fps)". What does this mean? As I said shows in events and projects. To stop audio jumping I detached all audio from clip but how do I fix the clip frame rate? Assume this causes "jumpy replay" problems. How do I fix and where??? Please help. Could not find solutions anywhere.

    I meant to say it only (if I may generalize here) makes a difference when you edit. Don't try to edit 30 fps material in a timeline meant for 25 fps. Very few applications can accomplish this with a good end result.
    Are you speaking about this particular change of frame rates or any?
    Having transfered Super 8 film that was shot at 18 fps, I have little choice but to change the rate. So far everything seems to be working out fine. For 24 fps iMovie does a pull-down of 1 1 2; for 30, 2 2 1. I'm a little confused as to whether I should use 24 or 30 fps. I'll be asking about this in a new thread.
    The easiest way to change a projects framerate is to edit the project xml file.
    Right click on your iMovie project file and choose "Show package contents..." (or something similar)
    Edit the "Project" file (no extension) using the free Textwrangler editor or a plist capable editor.
    Find the node "frameRate" and update to 30.
    Really? That's a cool trick! But it sounds like it could easily mess things up. Have you tried this and with what scenarios?
    or easier just create a new project

  • Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?

    Changing frame rate when exporting from iMovie '09 using quicktime has no impact on duration.  Why?
    I have a file created by digitizing an 8mm film at a rate of 24 fps. I would like to create a downloaded movie at a frame rate of 15 fps.  The Export using Quicktime option seems to provide that capability but the resulting file has the same duration as the original 24 fps file.  How can I get the exported movie to be slowed down?

    joegez,
    There is a feature you can use to slow down the video. In the project, move the mouse pointer over the clip, then click the gear icon. That brings up the Inspector. Click the Clip tab. Then you will see a feature there called Speed. Move the slider to the left to slow down the clip. Or you can enter a percentage in the box on the right.
    Hope this solves the problem for you.
