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!!

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:

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.

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.

Is the video record frame rate adjustable?

I would like to set up an iPod - don't own one yet - or video camera to see what the dog is doing when I'm not around. I think 3 fps should be sufficient. Can the iPod touch do this? Does it require a separate app? Can anyone suggest a dedicated camcorder that does this and tell me why that might be better than an iPod? I would also like to make other videos at normal frame rates.
Thanks,
Scott

You are welcome.
You may want to consider it's replacement model, the 6220 classic. It does 30fps and 640x480.

Can you adjust the frame rate with quicktime?

I need to slow the frame rate on an .avi file, and I can find how to do that in big chunks, but how to fine tune. Is this possible on the latest release (just downloaded it) and if not can someone tell me what I can use to change the framer ate on the .avi itself (either way is fine)
I am SO not tech savvy so please assume you are replying to an idiot but thank you very much in advance for any help.

p.s. I discovered that holding the option button and the fast forward give me this control for speeding things up, but I can't figure out how to slow it down - sorry for the missing info

Adjust bit/frame rates?

I have the NX Ultra camera and I want to change the quality of the image to a lower quality. Right now the camera is set at a frame rate of 30, a bit rate of 870, and a resolution of 320x240. I've tried going to advanced settings and lowering the quality under JPeg quality options, but it hasn't helped enough. I'd like the frame rate down to 5 and the bit rate down to 300. Any ideas?

I was under the impression that MPEG-2 encoder came with Compressor 1. I never used Compressor until I upgraded to FCS and started using (or rather trying to use) Compressor 2.
Check out the link below:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/faq.html
OR maybe you need a new installer:

Hope this helps.

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

Live! Cam Video IM Pro VF0410 Frame Rate Problem

Hello I'm from Turkey sorry for my English first. I bought this camera yesterday and i tried it on 2 PC.First one is using Win Vista Home Premium (4Gb RAM + Core 2 Duo E6750),second one is Win XP Home (Gb Ram + Pentium M .8). In these PC's i can't get more than 4 or 5 FPS. I only saw 8 FPS for one second. I downloaded the?latest drivers from the site which is v.0.0 (2.68 Mb).Nothing changed it is 4 FPS again.What can i do what is this problem. Is my camera faulty ?

I too have the same problem. It seems to be a flaw with the software or the hardware. If you disable the auto exposure setting the frame rate will still site at 4-5 fps.
If you then move the exposure slider to the far left and then back to the right the frame rate will immediatley increase to 20-30 fps, but the exposure is quite poor even with the adjustment of brightness, contrast, etc. Is this a software bug or a hardware flaw?

Can't Change Frame Rate in Properties

To change project properties in FCPX you click the wrench icon, which brings up a window to select 720p, 1080p, etc as well as frame rate. The problem is, there are no options in the dropdown for the frame rate in all of my projects, it chooses one automatically (seemingly arbitrarily) and you can't change it.
I thought that when the progam says it would detect the properties of the first clip and adjust the project properties to match, it would actually do that (maybe I should have known better). So I imported my standard 1080p 29.97fps footage from my Canon 7D and then FCPX automatically set the project properties to...720p at 24fps. Curious, no? No problem, I thought, I'll just go to Project Properties and manually correct FCPX. But it was not to be, as FCPX had decided to give me only one option in the frame rate selection: 24p. But no, I thought, I would very much like my properties to be 29.97 so as to match my footage. But FCPX did not agree with this, and would not change its mind.
Has anyone found a solution to this?
Do any pros still use Final Cut Pro?
Thanks,
Kurtis

It may be possible that a .jpg was the first thing in the project, which may explain the seemingly random properties (why wouldn't they just make it default to a more common setting like 1080p 29.97?) but I digress.
And it's a very stupid move to revoke the ability to change project properties while clips are in the project, that makes no sense.
I'm begining to think that Apple has really failed with this new version of Final Cut; and I've been using Final Cut for years. I am debating switching to Premiere, but I will give FCP X a bit more time to redeem itself.

Flash Animation Frame Rate

Hi -
I just put a flash animation (which I made in Flash Pro CS6) in a Cp 5 slide (which I've done countless times), but for some reason, when I adjust the frame rate in Flash, it doesn't adjust it in Cp.
Right now my animation is too fast for the audio in the Cp slide, and I want to slow it down by reducing the frame rate.
Does anyone know how to do this or why what I'm doing isn't working?
Thanks in advance.

Wiezzy,
I was wondering, why not put the audio in the Flash file...this way, you would have total control over synching the audio to the animation...and, as long as your audio publish settings are the same as the Captivate file, there should be NO differentiation in audible performance...in other words, the Flash SWF and the Captivate SWF should sound identical.
And to answer your previous question, I'm fairly certain that the Captivate and Flash SWFs run at there published framerates independently...so if you put a Flash animation that was authored at 10fps...Captivate wouldn't up speed to 30fps...
It's all about resources and performance...two SWFs with two different framerates use more resources...which is why you'd want your Flash SWFs destined for Captivate projects at 30fps...

Confusion about mixing frame rates......

what are these guys talking ....does this happen automatically that fcpx adjusts variable frame rates according to the project settings..?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4505699
because it did not happen with me in a 23.98 timeline the clips with 25 fps did not sync......

Not sure what you mean by sync. You mean the audio is out of sync?
I looked at the thread you linked to. The software should be able to handle mixed frame rates quite well.

Frame rate

when I look at movie info for a QT movie I see below the format FPS and then Playing FPS.
What is the difference between these and how do they relate to the frame rate you set in OPTIONS when exporting a movie.
My problem is I have a movie (output by another application) and I wish to reexport it without changing anything but the size. BUT when I go to export I have to set all the options because QT does NOT pick up the settings the movie was originally output at. Therefore I am having problems.
Example my movie has FPS at .13 and then the playiong FPS varies from .3 to 60 !!!. It is a movie of a slideshow with still images crossfading between images.
I found that on reexporting with the frame rate left as "current" it lost the cross fade. So I am now experimenting to find how to set the export the same as my original. THis is very hit and miss.
Any help please.
Louis

A QuickTime export that uses the "current" settings will not adjust the frame rate during export.
Slide show "movies" (those created with iPhoto 4) will not export the "fade effect". It is a "tween" track that doesn't get exported.
iPhoto 5 can create 30 FPS "video" tracks (as opposed to Photo- JPEG codec in iPhoto 4). The effects used in these files can be exported.
The "frame rate" and the "actual frame rate" is determined by the source of the original and the playback capabilities of the viewing machine. It is normal for QT to reduce the frame rate on slower machines.

When editing 1080p video in photoshop the frame rate is significantly dropping, I do have mac book pro 2.8Ghz 16GB Ram. Any reason why?

I am trying to edit video from my DSLR and when the footage is downloaded, just converting it to smart object causes dropping frame rate; not saying with couple of adjustment layers. I bought the highest spec mac book pro laptop and was told it should cope perfectly. Any advise?

Frame Rate Problems in CS4

I am a student and I use CS4 on a Mac on one of the schools computers. One of the animation projects I am working I need to animate a music video.
To do this I calculated out the BPM of the song and set the frame rate at 23.3 FPS so that I would have 20 Frames between beats. Then to have a visual representation of the timing I set a layer that has a red dot blink for 2 frames every 20 frames starting on the first beat. With it set up like this and I run the animation in Flash it keeps time correctly and works. However, when I test the video the time is off. I tried changing the frame rate to 60fps as an arbitrary number to see if adjusting the frame rate had any affect of the test file but when I tested the video at 60fps it did not run any faster than before. I asked my professor about the problem but he doesn't know. I exported the video to a SWF and MOV file but it was still off.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

use a timer to display your dot so you can control its timing more accurately. that said, the only elementary way to sync audio and visual in flash is to add the audio to your timeline and assign a sync of "stream".
note: that's not the best way to use sound in flash but it's the only easy way to sync sound/visuals.
