AVCHD clips imported in FCE play way too fast.

Hi there,
I am a video newbie, I am trying to import AVCHD clips from an SDHC card into FCE using log and transfer method. All is well until I start working on the clip in the viewer, the clip is for sure playing at 2X speed, I am not sure why. It might be a simple solution, but I sure can not find a solution. The clips I am testing with were shot on a Lumix TS-1. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Labib

From memory AVCHD, I can't remember the exact settings as far as frame rate and such, I can sure check it when I get back home. Do I have to set the frame rate and such into the capture preferences before I import?
Thanks for the reply

IMovie import plays WAY TOO FAST!

I am importing video from a DV (Sony DCR-HC96) straight into iMovie. The transition is smooth and recorded content plays in normal time from DV camera. During transition, the video appears in normal speed on the Mac.
However, when the import is completed -- and I try and PLAY the video on my Mac (MacBook Pro), the speed of the movie is SCREAMING FAST (16x-20x too fast.)
Anybody feeling smart about this?
Would really(!) appreciate your help....

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
When you say "transition" I think you mean "import" ..the process of passing the video from the camcorder into iMovie. (..A "transition" is generally something which you apply in iMovie; a means of changing from one video clip to another via a 'cross-fade' or a 'dissolve', etc..)
The specifications for this camera, on Sony's page (click on that blue link) and on Amazon's page both mention..
"..Progressive Shutter System
A mechanical shutter system that provides progressive scan performance while utilizing an interlaced scanning system. Digital still images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition."
If you've shot your movie(s) using progressive recording (..using a shutter speed marked 'p', such as '30p' or '24p'..) then iMovie may play it back faster than normal. This is because iMovie normally expects DV to consist of two 'interlaced' fields of video (two sets of lines which each make up half-a-picture) instead of single full frames of video.
(..On the other hand, the "progressive" in the specifications may refer only to still photos; it's not easy to tell from the descriptions whether or not the video may be shot as progressive, too..)
If it's NOT playing fast because you've shot progressive video ('p') instead of interlaced video ('i'), then I can't think of a reason just now why it'd be playing fast ..sorry.

Quicktime .mov... Audio plays way too fast.

I have a Quicktime video http://www.plymouthbrethren.org/flash/MacDmemo2-2-320x240x30FPS.mov
which plays the Audio portion like Alvin and the Chipmunks. The original was created in Adobe Premiere Elements @ 29.xxx FPS, under Windows XP Pro. (It did the SAME thing, BTW, when I encoded it at 15 FPS.
I have no idea why the video appears OK on this, but the sound is all sped up.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
-Andrew

Please help!
I have this same audio playback always sounds like Alvin & the chipmunks, even on TV episodes, songs I download or upload, but not in game play.
I've run the Windows troubleshooter, dxdiag, and searched for this on iTunes and Quicktime websites and manuals.
Does anyone have a clue what is wrong and what is needed?

Zen Xtra 60gb- Plays songs too fast

Hi guys. There are no EAX special environments running at higher speeds or anything, but every song plays too fast. When I look at the counter for each song and put it alongside a stopwatch or other timing device, the songs are playing way too fast.

Nope, longstanding bug as simply having been around for a while. It's a bizarre one though.
I don't have an Xtra so I can't test (hopefully someone else can) but I'll check my Micro.
The key thing here is do you know if the music itself is actually accelerated? Or is it just the timer that's off?

My movies which were bought from iTunes play way too dark in iTunes.

My movies play way too dark in iTunes. This is only the case when I connect my Mac Mini to my TV through HDMI. What's strange is that when the subtitles in the movies come up the picture goes to the correct brightness. Normally, however it is different to see most of the scene when it is a night shot or a dark scene. The brightness on the TV does not seem to affect it, I believe this is a software issue. Are there any controls for picture quality that I am missing?

You device has limited capacity.
If you have toooooooo many movies, that occupy toooooo much space, you will not be able to add any movies oor music without deleting something else.

Anyone have an idea why clips imported are silent half way through the clip? The entire audio can be heard in quicktime.

Solved problem by converting to another file format.
The two that worked were .mov and MP4 that is .H264

In Logic X, the mouse click wheel scroll is way too fast on the arrange window and the piano roll. Is there a way to adjust this?

Hi cris2121, assuming you're using a mouse from apple, go to >System Preferences<
it's here where one can configure a mouse device.
Additionally you can also configure Scrubbing in Logic: "When in scrub mode, you can slowly move the playhead in the Tracks Window and the Audio (and optional MIDI) will be played back. The playback speed depends on how fast you move the Playhead in either direction."
Have a nice day!

Ipod plays music too fast

I just don't understand, it seems that my nano plays the music way too fast. When I play the same music on the i-tunes it sounds fine, but on the ipod, the voices of the singers are really altered. What do I do about this?

I've got the same problem too 2 days ago. Before going to sleep I wanted to listen to some music, but then I realized that my iPod nano 2nd generation was playing the music too fast, no matter which song. I can't really tell what speed it was playing at, but I'd say something between 1.025x to 1.050x. It might not appear that much, but try it with a program such as WMP and you will see a difference. The difference is subtle at first but evident when you the know the songs. So when that happened I was like "W-T-F" and then I restarted the iPod using the Menu+Center combination. I was wishing for it to play OK and then I tried a few songs and it was still going fast forward!!! At that point I was like ?%#!!?#@$$# and I turned it off. The next morning I took it with me to school and everything played fined. I am still mad cause even tough it works right now I have not found the cause nor the solution to that problem and I'm scared it's going to do it again.

H264/ACC Stream plays back too fast on some computers

Hi all,
we got some feedback from some of our customers (about 1%) that the QuickTime streams we provide (H.264/ACC) play back too fast, about double the original rate and sound is dropping out.
I have not seen this problem myself and there is no particular movie, which does not work. It seems to be the client setup (QT settings, video card whatever).
Does anybody know what happens?
Thanks
NikWest

Hi T-MACK,
This may not be much help but I had the same problem. Inspection showed that I'd inadvertantly set the camera on long play when shooting the footage. It seemed fine when importing into imovie but playback appeared to be double speed. I posted a question on this forum but couldn't get a satisfactory solution. Re-setting the camera and reimporting didn't help. However, I borrowed a friends camcorder and reimported the same video from that. It worked. I can't see why but it did.
Perhaps sommeone will come up with a better answer.
Regards
Rob

Audio books play back too fast on iPad

Audiobook play back too fast on iPad .Ok when played back computer have tried re setting iPad and adjusting speech speed

Have your rebooted/restarted your iPad? you do that by pressing the Home and power/sleep button at the same time until the slider to power off the iPad appears. Slide the slider and when screen activity stops depress the two buttons again until the Apple logo appears. When the iPad completes rebooting try again to see if that solved your problem.

Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast

Hi
I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257. Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
Browser is IE9.
I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
I have also removed the hardware acceleration. Nothing has helped.
However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed. I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains. Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
Can anyone help?
Nigel

For my reference, here's the bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
It would be great if you could do two things:
- Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem.
If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better. (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot. We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
- Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
Save the output and attach it to the bug above.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Nano plays podcasts too fast

my nano plays podcasts too fast as if they're speeded up. Is there a sync setting that will fix this?

thanks. that was easy!

My itouch is playing podcasts too fast despite having done a restore to fix the issue, anyone know a solution?

It sounds like the Podcast's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the podcast artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed.

P2 clip imported through FCP plays in high speed

I shot an event a week back and have close to 300GB of interview footage. I logged all the footage in FCP and all is fine except one clip imports in super high speed.
I have trashed prefs, repaired permissions ans reset the in out points but this clip just keeps getting sped up on import.
Anyone else have this problem?

Open up the converted Quicktime file. How does that play?
What about importing it with FCP...how does it look then?
While I'm thinking aloud, why can't clips be logged without being captured?
Because that it the nature of P2. It isn't tape. Why would you log and not capture?
And I for one am very against logging anything less than the full clip. Why? Well, what if you lose your hard drive...it dies? What then? Since you manually marked IN and OUT points, you won't be able to get the clips to reimport and reconnect unless you to it again...manually. If you import the full clips, and the drive dies. You import the full clips again and reconnect and BOOM...done. Fast.
But that is me.
Try importing using FCP...and also, see what the raw QT file looks like.
