Applying Video Filters to Slow Motion Clips

Now I have done this before many times. Why is it when I apply a video filter to a clip( that is 50% speed already in my sequence) I can not see the video filter when I open up the effects tool to adjust the effect? For example when I put a glow effect on the clip and I adjust the brightness and I do not see anything happening it is as if the effect is not there. I know there is a simple solution to this

Sure Tom,
I edited shots in my sequence, it is a montage of slow motion shots each around 1sec. long at 50% speed. I want to letterbox the shots and treat each with a filter. Strobe them or glow effect, etc. I am opening the effects window and dragging the filter icon onto the clip on my sequence. Then I double click the clip on my time line and open it in the viewer to adjust the filter. When I do this I can not see the filter effect. It's as if there is not an effect on the clip. Is it because I am trying to put a filter on a clip that is at 50% speed? Do I have to put it on the clip before I change the speed?

  • Any tips on making slow motion clips "smoother" (interpolation)?

    I was not able to find this in the documentation.
    I need to render a sequence with a clip that is at 40% speed (slow motion), this clip is of a time lapse weather (clouds) video.
    I would like to know what type of interpolation Final Cut Pro uses (if any) and if there are any methods to improve the fludity of clips that are set to slow motion. Right now the section of the rendered video where the slow motion clip is (the clouds) appear a bit "jumpy' and I would like to have them a bit "smoother".

    Thanks, I've tried a couple from everyone's suggestions; from frame blend, to motion blur, and to the optical flow (in Motion).
    The problem is that with cloud time lapse video in slow motion there is still some level of "jumpyness" from one frame (one time lapse frame, not frame in the video file) to the other.
    With optical flow, it is quite nice, but it makes it move incredibly smooth from one frame, but then pauses, and then incredibly smooth to the next, so it's not really usable for cloud time lapse video.
    I'm still hoping for some kind of better interpolation effect that I haven't found yet.

  • Searching for a low-cost plug for doing better slow motion clips.

    Where can I find a low-cost or free plug-in for doing better slow motion clips? I produce alot of sports videos and use FCPHD but am looking for better quality. I am not necessarily looking for time-remapping (it confuses the ** out of me). Just want to simply slow down clips and not be as choppy as FCP turns out.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Slow motion clips drastically reduce editing performance

    I wondered why one project was slower than a similar sized other project (20 min). I moved the project cursor from the end of the project systemmatically towards the start. As I moved it, response got slower and slower. This was the clue. I started to set 50% clips back to 100% as I went backwards through the project and performace rapidly increased. I had both sound and video tracks in the project. Therefore, the more slow motion clips you use the slower editing will become as you progress towards the start of your project.

    Did they import as a single long clip?
    I would recommend dragging the long DV clip into MPEG Streamclip (a free app from Squared 5).
    You can drag the long clip into MPEG Streamclip and divide the long clip into multiple shorter clips. You might divide it into logical events (all clips shot on the same day) or you could make a new clip every time record/pause button is pressed.
    Move the playhead to the in point and press I, move the playhead to the Out point and press O. Then File/Export to DV. Repeat until you have all the clips.
    Hint: If you know the date and time the clips were shot, give the files a name in the form clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext where hh is hours in 24 hour time and ext is the current file extension (in your case DV).
    Then use FILE/IMPORT/Movies... to import into iMovie as separate events.
    That should give you good performance.

  • Why that when I record a video in my iPhone 4s then I will transfer it to my laptop, the video is in slow motion? Please help so that I can use always my video recording feature. Thanks!

    Why that when I record a video in my iPhone 4s then I will transfer it to my laptop, the video is in slow motion? Please help so that I can use always my video recording feature. Thanks!

    Video is synced from the computer to the iPhone via iTunes. You need to load the video into iTunes, make sure it is iPhone compatible before you do that, and once it is in iTunes, then sync to the iPhone.
    Never said what computer OS you were using. Also, the computer processor, amount of RAM can make a difference with HD video.

  • When i upload my videos to pc, my videos play in slow motion and sound is not with video? help!!!!!!

    i have two iphone 4s, and everytime i try to upload my videos, sound is ahead of the video and video is in slow motion??? my pc is not hd and that may have something to do with it, just looking for answers!!! I have a desktop that i am looking to have upgraded with better stuff, just curious what i need if that is the problem.

    Yvonne-
    I haven't tried videos on my camera yet.  Do you use the Videos App to play them?  I don't think they will play in the Photos App.
    If yours are in a format that is not in Vazandrew's list, you may need to sync them to your computer and convert them to M4V or MP4 format.  You can use a program like HandBrake to do the conversion.  <HandBrake>  Once converted, you can sync them back to the iPad and they should play.
    This may not meet your needs, but the alternative appears to be getting a different camera.  I don't know of another Video App that might work.

  • TA44469 in windows, playback video is in slow motion why

    I uploaded my videos from my iPhone 4s to my PC (Windows Vista), and when I playback the video is in slow motion.  Audio is fine.  Why?  I checked for Quick Time updates, and I am good.  I shut down all other programs, and it still plays back in slow motion.  How can I correct this?

  • Applying video filters to multiple clips in Final Cut Express HD

    Is there a way to select multiple video clips and add a video filter to all of them? Example: we have a movie that was recorded in 2 different widescreen aspects ratios. Can I change them to the same aspect ratio easily?

    I can't say for FCE, you may want to post in that forum. But in FCP, the method for applying filter(s) to multiple clips is to apply the filter to one clip then make the needed adjustments on the filter(s) in that clip. Next, right-click on that clip and select "Copy" from the contextual menu. Next, select all of the other clips to which you want to apply the same filter(s) and settings. Right-click on one of them and choose "Paste Attributes" from the contextual menu. When the Attributes window opens, choose Filters, then click OK.
    To apply the same filter to several clips (without settings) at the same time, select the clips in the Timeline, then drag the filter(s) from the Browser to the clips.

  • Videos play in slow motion using quicktime 7.7 with Iphoto 08'

    I have several HD videos from my Sony NEX-3 camera that will not play very well from within iMovie.  They freeze up, or run in slow motion while the sound track continues without any problem.  I've seen other related comments on this forum, but no one has suggested a fix yet.  I can play my clips just fine from the finder menu using "Quick Look".  Other videos from the same camera work, what has changed?

    After some tinkering, I discovered this solution.  It worked for me, and it was pretty easy....go to system preferences and look at the bottom of the screen for your list of OTHER options.  I had an icon for 3ivx MPEG-4, so I clicked on it and selected the option that reads "I would like 3ivx to decode all of my MPEG-4 videos.".  Now everything is running smoothly again.  Hope this helps anybody else with this situation!

  • Imported Video Plays in Slow Motion...why?

    Hey Guys I hope you can help:
    I set up a project with the following properties:
    Sequence Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ)
    Capture Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) Varicam
    Device Control Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Sony VTR
    Once this is set up I import a video clip with the following properties:
    Vid Rate: 23.98 fps
    Frame Size: 1280 x 720
    Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    Data Rate: 11.2 MB/sec
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    After I import the file, I drag it to the preview window and play it....the sound plays normally, but the video itself is playing in slow motion....THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Can any of you shed any light on this???
    I drag the file to the timelime (get no messages from the system) and play it from the timeline with the same results.

    Perhaps, tell us your system and your source footage is.
    When you have it in the timeline, is there a fine line on the top of the timeline window? Red ,Green, or orange? Try and render it if you do.

    the resolution, bitrate etc. are the same - what am i doing wrong?

  • Possible to convert video footage to slow motion?

    Long story but I'm filming a short video in the style of the Intel TV ads (link below). Is there a way of converting footage I shoot into slow motion?
    Have read discussion threads for other versions of iMovie, but not '08.
    Thanks for any advice.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqLPHrCQr2I

    Yes. This feature is built in to iMovie 09, but for iMovie 08, you must pre-process with an external app such as JES DeInterlacer.
    If you do a search of this discussion, you will find some posts that link to Karsten Schluter's web site where he gives detailed instructions.

  • Frame by frame video player or slow motion

    the video player is outstanding but a couple of enhancements could make it perfect. frame by frame or slow motion could make it a more perfect tool for analyzing a golf swing or studying a surgical procedure. and if a still frame could be magnified or the video magnified during playback it could be all anyone would ever need. still frame grabbing would also be a useful tool. we also need the macro focus - it is an essential tool for recording documents and for producing video presentations of small items like jewels, stamps or coins.

    Can anyone suggest an app for slow motion video playback with the bb playbook?

  • Ripple edit on slow motion clip

    If I have built a timeline and want to insert a clip then slow motion it, the whole thing ripple edits. If I make a new channel thats empty and do the same the whole thing ripple edits, I end up having to lock all my channels below then do it, is there a better way because it seems wrong and adds time to my job,
    regards
    daz

    I don't think moving it up a track works, as you've found...and I don't believe it's a setting in FCP that can be changed.
    You can move it to the end of the timeline and make the adjustment or as stated, do this in the viewer.
    Another option is to create a 'Working' sequence and do it there. This is the way I do it, in case the timing doesn't work, you can quickly make adjustments in the alternate timeline.
