Adjusting speed of clips

Just a quick question,
If I adjust the decrease the speed of a clip on a timeline, it pushes all the footage after it forward.
This is a bit of a pain when editing to music as it knocks everything out of sync.
The method I use is to copy the clip to another timeline, adjust the speed then bring the clip back into the sequence.
I was wondering if anybody knew a quicker way to do this on the one timeline?
Thanks

That's good... or do the speed change in the viewer and then use the replace edit - F11 to drop it on the same space as the original clip.
Or -- just do it at the END of the sequence.
Either way it can sometimes be a pain. If I'm trying to do these after I've already edited, I like the viewer technique.

How do you adjust speed of clip? (Slo-mo)

Thanks for any help!
P.S. if anybody knows anything about masking I could use some help. Basically I have an actor and I want to key an explosion behind him. I mask him and key in the explosion but how to I keep adjusting the mask frame by frame. When I move the cursor to change the next frame mask it changes the last one. Anyway thanks for any advice. Just got AECS4 trail a few days ago.

You've got a few options. including time-stretching, time-remapping, and the Timewarp effect. See the
"Time-stretching and time-remapping" section of After Effects Help on the Web for details.
Here's an

Picture noise when adjusting speed?

Hello all.
When I change the speed of any clip either slowing it down or speeding it up it results what can only be described in bars of noise on the screen. My question is what would be causing this? Could it be how the video was captured, something to do with how it's processed or the T.V. screen that it is finally outputted to? I have tried various things to correct this and it is now getting tedious and to the point where I won't adjust speed at all.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers people!!

I have been recording most stuff with my Sony MiniDV camcorder but noticed that it does exactly the same when taking footage from other sources including built in isight on imac.
I render everything as I go if thats what you mean.
I have not tried and do not know how to do frame blending, will have a look tonight.
Cheers.

How Can I set my speed of clip to 0%?

How Can I set my speed of clip to 0%?
I can't do that. A minimum value is: 1.00

So I HAVE TO do this in that specific way? I can't normally set a "0%" value of speed curve?

Cut it there and do a frame hold or a screen grab.
But how I have to do a frame hold if I can't set speed of one frame to 0%
Ann Bens wrote:
Use a time remapping freeze frame instead if you want 0 speed.
What a rubbish did you say? I am in Time remapping freeze menu and IN THIS MENU we can't set a value to 0%. A value: 1.00% is a minimum.
You have to miss a screen what I paste before, so specially for you (there is even a red box):

No volume adjustment for video clips

Hi there!
I have noticed that the volume adjustment for video clips, set in the options pane of the clip itself, will not be respected by iTunes while playing the video.
Is there someone else with a similar issue or already with a solution?
Thanks in advance!

I've tested all versions since 10.0.1 (for PC) and none work. Versions 10.0.1 and below will allow you to change the volume adjustmant and the equalizer setting for individual videos. No answer from apple! You can try an older version like I did.

Adjustment Layers causing clips to stutter Premiere Pro CC

I'm working on a music video and I have a 2:35 letterbox preset that I added to an adjustment layer. I added this to the adjustment layer and placed it over all the clips so I don't need to apply it to every single clip. Of course that's the way adjustment layers work. But on some parts of my timeline when the play head reaches certain clips it stutters or when it reaches a clip with a simple dip to black transition the clip stutters again. I know its the preset that I have applied to the adjustment layer because when I disable it or remove the adjustment layer or remove the effect from the adjustment layer the clips play fine without any issues. Can some one tell me why this is happening. My computer has more than enough power to handle this. I'm running a 8 core MacPro, SSD drive, 22gigs Ram and a ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card.

Hi AzzieScott,
Thanks for the link. Please mention, the types of footage you have in your project. If possible, please mention the make and model of the camera if you have captured the footage.

Audio Level Adjustment for Multicam Clip

Greetings,
I have 2 issues while some audio tweaking for a Multicam edit. I have assigned the audio for a single angle to apply to the entire sequence.   There are some clips in the sequence where, at times, I cannot adjust the level of the audio. It will show the level when clicking with the selector, but it cannot be dragged up or down.   Stranger still, if I select it within a series of clips and use CTRL -/+ to change levels, it is unchanged even though all the others changed. There is nothing differnent about the clips in question (they are not Compound Clips or anything.)
Restarting seems to often fix the above problem. But it seems to be happening enough that it's a real inconvenience. Also I am having similar issues with the audio level meter freezing up intermittently. Sometimes when I toggle audio skimmer it can correct it for a while, but once it starts, a restart is inevitable.   Does anyone have any workarounds for making this work properly?
One last question that is not a glitch but a functionality I hope exists but cannot find. Given that I have one angle of audio for the entire clip, I want very badly - and feel like it should be possible - to make adjustments to the audio as I would if it were one continuous clip; for instance, to be able to select a range across the clip transitions and adjust levels accordingly. So far the best workaround is to select all the clips and use CTRL -/+ to adjust. But this allows less control, because I must then go in and adjust sections of clips on the ends that I did not want changed.   Would love to know if anyone knows a way!
Thanks for your time and assistance!
Brian

I would think it would be easiest to open the muticlip in the Angle Editor where you would have a clear view of each individual angle and its audio.

Best way to change speed of clips

Hey, I want to change speed of clips, both faster and slower in one clip. What is the best way to do that preserving the quality? I am still learning FCP so my apologies, and I had a hard time finding anything on here through search.

Jerry's right...
Take a look at this:
http://homepage.mac.com/captmench/SlowMo3.mov
Two frames each of FCP and Shake at 50%. Use your arrow keys to go frame by frame. First frame is normal, second is interpolated. Look at the background!!
Creative cow should have the whole tutorial online soon... I'll post back with the link when they do.
Also, for time remap -- shake's got that under control too... but for now, look at this:
http://www.proapptips.com/proapptipsvideotutorials/879F6B61-CFF9-4FD1-8D43-FDF89 605611A/D95A1854-BE2C-46A6-A064-FA0A2306E254.html

Can't change speed on clips in timeline - get error message

In Final Cut Pro 5.1.2, when I try to change the speed of clips in the timeline I get the error message "Unable to complete command. A conflict occurred during a trim operation." I have changed the speed of many clips in this project previously, but it suddenly won't do it now. I have searched for a solution but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You could go next door and search the forum there. Or you could search for the answer here. It comes up pretty often.
When you change the speed of a clip it changes the duration of the clip, which ripples the sequence. That changes its duration. Sometimes changing the duration/clip speed will move things in the timeline. Sometimes when you try to move things in the timeline, overlapping clips or other things bump into each and prevent the sequence from rippling. This is most common cause for the error message you're seeing.

How to speed up clips

hi just wondering if you could tell me how to alter the speed of clips
e.g
i would like to create a clip with something moving quite fast and then go back to normal speed in the next clip
please could anyone help me?
cheers

Hi g
In iMovie'08 - Don't think it is possibly.
If Your material is on a miniDV tape. Use iMovie HD 6
• If You hade it previuos iLife08 then You find it in Aplications/iMovie previous versions folder.
• If not - Download it from Apple. As iLife owner You are entitled to do this.
Next see that it is updated to v. 6.0.4 (has to)
Here You can speed up or down Your clips.
iMovie'08 should have another name - it's not for more advanced editings and
DVD disks as goal. It's primary for publiching on the net.
Yours Bengt W

Text Overlay Speeding up Clip

I have Final Cut Pro 6.0.6
Out of nowhere, after one editing project (which was a hassle in HD, but worked begrudgingly) I started a new, standard project (non-HD). when I went to overlay some text, the clip below sped up. Just the video, the audio was fine. the clip didn't shorten, just sped up within itself and then dropped frames message box came up. I left the text on, thinking it was a playback issue. after it was exported (as both iphone.m4v file and a .mov file), the clip stayed sped up.
I even exported the project without text, and attempted to import it and then lay text over the final project. it sped up again! what is causing this??
I already dumped prefs, reset, etc. I ended up having to import the project into imovie and do the text in there--which worked fine. I don't want to do that every time, what is this text issue!?

I did a search all across the internet and all I kept coming up with was "how to speed up clips" or "how to put text on your project". nothing like this. the last thing I want to do is sign up for a forum and post things.
well, when I drag a clip into the timeline to edit, FCP automatically matches to the clips settings. or, that's what it's telling me it's doing. I've edited tons of m4v files over the past few months and never came across this issue before, why would it happen now to two separate projects?
from what I understand, my settings are on DV NTSC and the file I'm editing is a Mp4 file format, which I have done plenty of times before. this is--again--only when I overlay text above any part of the clip.

Adjust end of clip and move all other clips accordingly

having found this help topic about trimming clips: Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Trimming clips, i figured i might be able to figure out how to adjust the end of a clip and move all subsequent media content accordingly.
the situation would be: adding a word to dialogue, cutting out a word, something like that -- where you have to shorten or lengthen a clip, and you need to move all subsequent content accordingly.
i used to know the name of the folks that did the study in the late 90's regarding help file "readability," which then resulted in the trend that help files don't offer the ability to dig deeper into the definitions of a software's vocabulary, but i forgot.
at any rate:
i don't know what the blue thing is called with which one moves around on adobe's timeline.
now, i'm assuming i'll be able to dig that up.
but i have a series of graphics -- and i want to move adjust the length of time graphic1 appears (let's say extend it's length). i'd like to "bump" or "move" or "ripple," or "roll," or "regular edit," the graphic so that -- when i move the right side of the graphic -- all subsequent graphics get "bumped" to the right (later in time).
while i appreciate the alliteration of regular ripple and rolling edits, i did need to try them out to see what they do.
and none of them appear to "bump" all subsequent content.
i gather that i could "lasso" all of the subsequent content and nudge it and/or move it around -- but really -- i'd like to be in clip 19 -- adjust when that clip ends -- and move all subsequent content either later or earlier in time -- accordingly.
ideally that "desire" would extent into: i am just going to move visual content, and "i am going to move visual and audio content."
please have compassion for my "negative" tone, because i am having a bit of a "losing faith in humanity" moment right now - because i took about a 5 year break from tech and am now returning to tech -- and i expected user procedures to have improved.
i'll be OK and will likely blog about it, but for now: can you either tell me some keyboard shortcuts or direct me to help files or just explain -- how to edit the various types of content in premiere the way i've outlined?
i want to move all of the subsequent content over to the right. i do not want to just move the end of the last clip and the start of the next clip -- keeping the end of the next clip in the same place (which is apparently what the red double double arrow does).
i seem to have tried out "regular, ripple, and roll," and maybe i'm almost there -- or one of those methods actually works -- but the word that is coming to mind is "bump."
bump or nudge or adjust...
anyway -- got any tips?

hey Michael, your reply helps restore my faith in your humanity -- but seriously -- i need to use the "ripple delete tool" to NOT delete -- but extend and push?
really?
that is as obnoxious as going to the start button to shut down.
how about going to the shut down button to start? how about that Bill Gates.
and we still can't tell the difference between a lowercase l and an uppercase I online. Good job humanity. Sometimes even the 1 is the same as l and I -- so you have 1lI all looking the same.
My 8 year old daughter thought I live in LLLinois? She was trying to read Illinois.
Of course I have to go to "delete" to extend. What else? I have to go to start to shut down.
ps --- that is why humanity has gone through the effort to call those thingies on doors: handles. See a handle can be used to open AND close a door.
it is not the "close knob" it is the "door knob." why? because you can use it to open and close.
it is not the on/off button -- though some call it that -- it is the "power" button.
You go through the effort to create vocabulary that makes sense if you are going to create and sell software. I understand that sometimes it can be hard, but there are plenty of people, myself included, who have the intellectual capacity -- to find or create these kinds of cohesive procedural flows -- to a large extent due to our linguistic abilities.
it's not rocket science, but it is, in a particular way -- quite difficult. it requires mental effort or some kind of "capacity," to realize that a "handle" often moves us between two or even more states -- like: open and closed.
that is why we do not call it the "on" button.
what does my HP printer have? oh it has an "on" button.
dumb dumb dumb dumb
more dumb
and then -- i am even accosted with dumb -- from adobe?
like awesome software industry standard adobe?
like "we made PDF files" adobe?
are you serious?
ugh -- ok i will go to "delete" to NOT delete and extend
i don't even care what that yellow thing is called anymore. i am just going to press command and click and get this project done for now...

Compressor encoded speed change clip with echo as motorboat sound

Took me two days to troubleshoot, through trial and error and process of elimination, why Compressor encoded an audio clip that had been speed changed and echo applied to it -- as rapid MOTORBOAT sound! Project is a 5.1 mix. Since STP3 won’t accept speed change clips, after I completed mix in STP I placed speed changed clips on FCP timeline below the exported STP 5.1 mix with the FCP audio tracks for that clip assigned to channels 1 & 2 for the fronts and channels 5 & 6 for the rears. The clip on 5 & 6 was duplicated and identical in every way to the clip on channels 1 & 2. Only the dupe clip on 5 & 6 did Compressor encode as motorboat. The identical clip on 1 & 2 encoded correctly. Both clips were set to play at same time since I wanted the effect to be on fronts and rears simultaneously. I could not get the motorboat sound to play back from either FCP timeline or Compressor preview window. Only after encode and burn to DVD did it show up. Why would Compressor introduce such artifacts on one of the clips and not both – if it’s going to do it at all – which it shouldn’t? Any ideas? I have other such effects throughout the project where I duped a speed changed clip with an effect applied to it and set it to play on fronts and rears simultaneously and Compressor encoded those correctly.

Well, it's a little late, but this is one of the reasons to have your startup drive cloned so you can restore it to a working state if an update, upgrade or install sends things south.

Have you tried resetting your fcp preferences
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
If this doesn't fix the problem, you could try sending the shot to motion. You could aslo try changing the speed in the motion tab of the viewer.

Judders on speeded up clips

Hi
When I export a short film (HDV 1080/50) I get judders on speeded up clips (120%). I have deinterlaced but this doesn't help. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance. Colin

Hi
I think !
That speed selected should be 25% 50% 100% 150% and in this kind of steps
I would try 125% instead of 120%

Speeding Up Clips

Hello,
I need to speed up clips but iMovie 09 is only allowing up to 2000% faster than the as shot speed of the clip. Is there anyway around this limit to speed up the clip even more (I'm guessing to around 10,000 or 20,000 of the speed as shot)?
Thanks!

Gerald's way is the simplest to do it. If you need variable speeds, you could also try Piero's [Time Remap|http://web.mac.com/piero.fiorani/PieroFFCE_Effect/TimeRemap.html] filter.
