Audio slow motion?

is there a way to slow down the audio in FCP 5? if so, could someone tell me a simple way to do it?
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

If you want to slow it down and keep the same pitch, you can't do it in FCP5. If you have Soundtrack Pro, you can do it there.
1. After editing your clip into the timeline, select it. Choose File->Send to->Soundtrack Pro Audio File Project.
2. In Soundtrack Pro, select the region of audio you want to change.
3. Choose Process->Time Stretch...
4. Select seconds from the popup menu and enter the new length in the box. Click OK. Soundtrack Pro will stretch (shorter or longer) the audio while keeping the pitch the same.
5. Save the Soundtrack Pro project and quit Soundtrack Pro.
6. Your audio clip will automatically be updated in Final Cut Pro 5.

When I view or upload files (such as on You Tube) there is no longer normal image movement. All action has a "strobe" effect as in slow motion, but audio seems normal. Is this a plug-in problem?

All of a sudden when I view a file that's been downloaded, or viewed on line, whether in Windows Media, or on You Tube on line site, or Power DVD Play program, the image appears as if it was in a slow motion "strobe" effect, while the audio sounds consistent, (barring the frequent stalls). If I burn a DVD, it has the slow motion strobe effect burnt into the disc as well & is difficult to view on a DVD player. Is this a plug-in problem that has suddenly manifested, and is there a way of getting the system back to it's normal operation??

Hello Joe.
Try disabling all add-ons (that's extensions, plugins and themes, go into ''Tools > Add-ons'') except for Flash and see if the problem persists. If they don't, enable one add-on at a time until you find the problem. If they do, try a new [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles Firefox profile] and see if it has the same issues. If it does (make sure other plugins aren't enabled), you need to contact Adobe for support on their Flash plugin ([https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ updating] it will be the first thing they tell you to do). If it doesn't, please tell me.

Slow motion sound in audio - imovie5

I am so frustrated. I have had so many audio problems in imovie5. This is the worst. The sound is like it is in slow motion!! What happened? I have put it on standard quality. I have used QT 7.01 and it seemed to work on other videos. How can I change it without redoing my whole video. It is a musical from a drama class this summer. It happened after I extracted the sound which I had to do so it is insync with the video. Now every audio sound is slow motion - even songs from itunes. Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Sandy

I do not know if I have saved the original movie files on one of my two external harddrives. I will always duplicate the original movie now.
Jeff - my understanding is that iMovie HD saves an original version of a project when it performs an update to the HD version. See this topic in Matti Haveri's site here:
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHDbugs.html#format
So, you may find that you still have a copy of the original project. If you still have your iLife discs, iMovie can be extracted from them. All you need is iLife '04 - iMovie 4 won't mess with a version 3 project (from memory), so it's safe to open in version 4. If you have iLife '04, but can't separately extract iMovie, you can download the shareware program "Pacifist" (US$20) which will easily allow you to install iMovie from the iLife disc. You can download the program here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
You should also be able to extract an earlier version from your OS 10.2 install discs - but I'm not sure what version would be on them. If you do install an earlier version, firstly rename or make sure that your current version is not named just iMovie - rename it to iMovie HD 5.0.2 (or whatever) if necessary. This will prevent the installer overwriting your current version.
All the best with your latest project "Big Sur In Motion" and thanks for posting back Jeff. This link to Dan Slagle's excellent site may provide some additional information: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/index.shtml

Slow motion and audio

Hi everybody:
How can you slow mo a clip, and keep the same unaltered audio. I thought detaching audio before doing the slow mo would do it but no the audio is distorted/ and or shortened in length and cannot be lengthened to cover the entire clip again. Is there a way??????
Thanks,
Luis

I go back to the events , take an area surrounding the same clip that is long enough to fit the slow motion clip's length. Drag it up to the slow motion clip in the project and choose audio only when the dialog box appears. then adjust the length of this audio clip to fit. Remember to set the slow motion clips audio to zero in the audio adjustment menu.
Covering the slow motion audio used to be a real pain in iMovie6 and is now one of the best features of iMovie9.
I make mostly sports videos so getting background sound from anywhere in the events is easy.
you could also use stock clips of ambient sound from the sound effects area

HP 620 Win 8 64bit - Please fix this HP! No sound and audio/video playback on slow motion

Please offer native audio drivers for HP 620 Windows 8 64 bit.
Problems:
- There is no working audio driver for HP 620 win 8 64 bit (Celeron Intel)
- Both audio and video playback is on slow motion (speed is like 1 sec is 3 secs).
I want to use 64 bit version so please do not suggest to do any downgrades.

16:9 JES deinterlacer slow motion

I am trying to use JES deinterlacer to slow down a clip but cant seem to get the output in 16:9. I have followed the instructions below and keep checking the 16:9 box but the output is always squashed 4:3. I've tried fiddling with the options and cant seem to find an answer.
Does anyone have any ideas?
From JES instructions.,..
Slow-motion and fast-motion: In JES Deinterlacer's Project tab select "Project kind: Standards conversion". Select "Custom" and set "Movie speed: 0.5" for 0.5x slow-motion, 2 for 2x fast-motion and so on for other speeds. You can select speed ratios in the range of 0.1-10x with 0.01 decimal precision (with v2.7.1 the 0.1x may stall and with 0.2x the audio is out of sync. 0.25-10x are OK). THEN set the other options:
For NTSC use "Settings/Height: 480, Width: 720, Frame rate: 29.97".
For PAL use "Settings/Height: 576, Width: 720, Frame rate: 25".
Check "Blend" and let "Scale only" remain unchecked.
In the Output tab set "Video output/Compressor/Export: DV Stream.../DV Format: DV, Video Format: NTSC/PAL, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect ratio: 4:3/16:9, Audio Format: Unlocked/Locked, Rate: 48.000 kHz".
Let "Progressive (out)" remain unchecked. (Leave the other options as defaults).
Select the output folder via "Put..." and click "OK" to start processing.

I exported the clip as a full quality clip from iMovie5 (had to go back to it after audio trouble importing from my HDR-HC1). I get a .mov file and then use that as an input file for JES. The 'converted' file is a .mov.proj.dv file which looks like a squashed 16:9 in 4:3 window in QT. I tried importing it back into iMovie and it imports as a 4:3 with black side bars - no letterboxing. The project I am working on is a 16:9 HD format.
I havent tried any other exporting yet as I'm fairly sure if they look that way in QT and imovie then that's probably how they are.
I do notice that when I make all the settings in JES, as I outlined in my question post, once I change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and then close that window and open it again, the setting seems to have defaulted back to 4:3. I tried it several times... (Ver 2.7.3 - I think that's the latest)
I really appreciate any advice.

I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

I have a video that is 1920 x 1080 14.99fps, when I load in Premiere 1080p30 it appears to be moving in slow motion, How do I fix that?

I am having the same problem, which I can explain a little better: A clip which is actually 29.97 fps (verified using QT properties) is importing as 1/2 framerate, or 14.985 (rounded up to 14.99) fps. This happens with several of my clips, regardless of the import method used (drag/drop from OS, right-click/import, or use Media Browser). I cannot interpret the footage back to 29.97, as doing so doubles the speed of the audio (an interview) making it unusable.

Best workflow for slow motion from Canon 7D?

Hey guys,
I am working with a slow motion clip for the first time and I am realizing that there isn't really an easy workflow with this. First of all, the clip was filmed with the Canon 7D, 60 fps. When I put in on the timeline, obviously I get rid of the audio. But then if I slow it down to 50% I get the typical frame blending crappy looking image that FCP gives me EVEN THOUGH the sequence settings are set to playing 30fps. In reality, I thought that when I import the clip in the timeline with those settings the clip would automatically be double-length... Stupid me. It's treating the clip like a normal regular clip and so when I slow it down it does the same thing it does with all clips - a terrible job at slow motion. So basically, at 50% it should be playing every frame and there should be no frame blending but apparently that's not the case.
So.. What's the best way to work with this? I tried putting the clip on a separate sequence and then slowing it down which did a much better job but then I had to export the clip out of FCP and bring it back in as a "new slow motion" clip if I wanted to preserve the effect. What happens if I have more than one clip? Is there a way to do "batch export" on all of them at once and not just one clip at a time? What's the fastest and best way to work with a 60fps clip in FCP and mix it in with the rest of my clips which are 30fps without it looking like crap?
I also just found out about Optical Flow in Motion and that's great but wow... the render time is many many hours for a 5 minute clip... that's crazy. I don't have that kind of time.
So... Please help! Thanks guys!

Step 1: Convert to ProRes. Log and Transfer, MPEG STREAMCLIP, Magic Bullet Grinder...whatever. Make it ProRes.
Step 2: Duplicate the clip if you want to also have it normal speed, because Step 3 is not undoable.
Step 3: Take into Cinema Tools and CONFORM to the frame rate you want. 29.97, 23.98...whatever the rest of the project is. This conform is permanent. It takes seconds, but is undoable. Thus what you did in Step 2.

Problems importing audio - slows down the speed???

hey guys,
I am having trouble when i import my audio into premiere elements 11 it plays back slower than the original audio. i have tried changing the file format from mp3 to WAV 16-bit 48khz and i am still experiencing the same issue... can anyone please help me?
Ryan

Ryan,
For the record, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on?
Is this audio linked to video when it is imported or is this a standalone audio file?
If the audio is linked to video, are you seeing any slow motion effects in the video?
Now let us get into the details of your project setup.
What are the properties of your source media, video as well s audio, and what are you or the project setting as the project preset to match the properties of the source media? I am looking for video and audio compression, frame size, frame rate, file extension, pixel aspect ratio, etc.
When your audio does not sound like the original during playback in the Premiere Elements Edit Mode monitor, are you listening to and watching the video/audio of the rendered or unrendered Timeline content?
When you import your audio (with or without linked video) do you see any conforming going on as evidenced by a conforming progress bar at the bottom of the interface?
Let us start here and then decide what next?
Thanks.

Problem slow motion Adobe Premiere Elements 7

Hello,
i`ve got a problem.
If i import the media (from DVD) into Premiere Element 7 i can see the film material BUT i can only see it in slow motion!
What should i do?
Best regards!

Schiller1wels
For the moment, I am going to take another approach to the issue that you presented. I could be wrong, but I would like to rule it in or out.
By any chance, did you decide that you wanted a better look at the Timeline frames and decided to expand the Timeline? But, you did not do that using the slider above the Timeline, but rather used the Time Stretch Tool or some other means to increase the duration/length of the video on the Timeline?
Decreasing the duration of the Timeline video will speed up the action, whereas increasing the duration of the Timeline video will give you slow motion and, if you do not click Maintain Audio Pitch in the Time Stretch dialog, distorted audio.
In your case, was the audio distorted as well as the video in slow motion?

Quicktime goes to "slow motion"

Hi all,
I recently switched to the iMac and can't quite deal with all the tweaks and quirks of it so I would love all the help I could get.
When I watch videos using quicktime (either from an external drive or from the Internet) the clip sometimes goes to "slow motion" and the audio disappears. Is there anything I can do to resolve it either in the settings of the quicktime or the Leopard?
I am using a 2.4GHz processor with 2GB RAM (as well as broadband) so I am baffled by the low performance.
Thanks in advance,
Tal

I have the identical machine listed in your profile.
Those QuickTime settings you mention are only for files served from streaming server software. Like the Macworld Keynote QuickTime file.
They make up less than one tenth of one percent of online videos.
The original poster must give us more information about the files. Post a URL or use the Movie Inspector window of QuickTime Player to tell us more about them.

H.264 export from AVCHD source results in slow-motion video; any ideas?

Hello, I'm trying to export a 1080i project with AVCHD footage using the H.264 Bluray profile. The resulting video looks good, but runs in slow motion. The starting footage is AVCHD 1440x1080 (1.333). When I export using the MPEG2 Bluray profile, everything runs fine. Thank you for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. My source footage consists of MTS files from an AVCHD camcorder. The files are 1080i anamorphic, so 1440x1080, with an aspect ration of 1.333 and a framerate of 29.97fps. I used one of the AVCHD sequence templates in Premiere CS5 that matched the video files.
I'm exorting using the H.264 Bluray preset for 1080i. I tried several of the profiles (1080p, etc), but they all end with the same bad result. The video plays, but seems to be playing at half speed. My 15-minute clip takes 30 minutes to play, even though the timline in VLC or WMP reports at 15 minutes. The audio sounds fine, but stops after 15 minutes (as it should). It's obviously out of sync, since the video is playing at half speed.
I have read a few other articles indicating it might be an issue with the way Premiere is interpreting the interlaced footage from the MTS files? This is beyond my area of knowledge.
When I encode using the MPEG-2 Bluray profile, it works fine. The video playback speed is normal.
My end goal is to edit my MTS files from the camcorder, encode using the H.264 profile, and place in an MKV container for playback on my XBMC-based HTPC. I'm also considering exporting as a high-bitrate MPEG-2, then using another encoder (HandBrake, etc.) to create the x264 MKV. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Compressing .mov to mp4 comes out in Slow Motion!

I have Compressor version 3.5.3 but I don't think that's what the problem is. I'm trying to compress an 11GB Quicktime file down to a couple of GB.
It's a PAL .mov file, 1920x1080, 25fps, 48000kHz/16.
These are the Settings I chose :
Video: Encoder MPEG4, 1920x1080, 25fps,
Key Frame interval: I change 15 to 25. Is that wrong?
Bit rate: medium VBR
Audio: Mono because Stereo greyed out 48000kHz.
Bit rate 64kbps is what comes up with 48000kHz. (When I changed it to 16bit it brought 22000kHz)
Frame Controls Option is off. Is that correct?
The result was a clip in Slow Motion Video and Audio alike.
What did I do wrong? Is there an incompatibility somewhere? I'd be most grateful for any suggestion. Thank you,

Hello Russ, these are the 3 Inspector screenshots you requested:
1) Inspector for the Quicktime file to be compressed:
2) Inspector Summary 1
3) Inspector Summary 2
4) Inspector Encoder 1
5) Inspector Encoder 2
That's how I ended up with slow motion in the converted mp4 file. What do you make of it?
Many thanks in advance for any light you could throw on this.

60fps Footage rendered to 30fps for slow motion

I know that to render footage shot at 60fps down to 30fps so it's slow motion you can use Cinema Tools in Final Cut Pro. I've done so with a buddy's system. I, though, have FCE HD and am wondering if there is a solution for me that doesn't require dragging footage over to my friends studio. Since FCE doesn't include Cinema Tools, is there another piece of software I might use?

aha! I now see what you are talking about. If your camera shoots for instance 720p60 - as does not GH2. So yes - MovieEdit does a good job of this - if you are willing to use the extra disk space for another copy of the movie file.
If you don't want to use extra disk space, save a reference movie of your file (will be a tiny file) and use this method on it:
http://mingletron.com/?p=222
an easier link to get Atom Inspector is here:
http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wo/5.1.17.2.1.3.3.1.0 .1.1.0.3.12.3.3.1
just change all the timescales of the ref movie that are not audio (ones that are not 48000 or 44100) to half their current value in all the mvhd and mdhd, then save and drag the ref movie into FCE. Sound will not work - it will be at the original speed and just end halfway through, but that's easy enough to fix - just unlink the sound, slow it down to 50%, chop off the excess and re-link.
To make a ref movie you need quicktime pro, or the free qtsync should also do it.

IMovie 11 quick time movie is in slow motion. why?

Sharing using Quick Time to make HD movie. Movie comes out in slow motion, but audio sounds okay. Followed online suggestions for settings. Settings are as follows: PLEASE HELP!

You don't say how the file was created for youtube. When you export a video from Flash you have a lot of options available to you. You can change the image area size, the frame rate, you can choose one of many video and audio compressors.
As a start, you should keep the image area and the frame rate the same for the video as it was in the original Flash file. When the Adobe Media Encoder opens, your file will show up in the Queue section with a compressor and a preset selected. You can select the format and change it to anything that you want. Since the default format has given you a poor result, select a different format or customize the existing one. There are many, many, options available. Take a look at the Media Encoder documentation for more information on those options.
