Camileo X200: poor quality using Slow Motion

When I select Slow Motion function (snail) the image is seen with very poor quality and with noise.
It is as if the camcorder was defective.

Could this be helpful?
+Why do I have a "Blurry Picture" on my Camileo Camera?+

Check if Macro-Modus" is activated. In such case disable this.

Poor quality on slow motion!!! (pixelated)

I would be soooooo grateful if someone could help me here!
Okay, Ive been using final cut express for the past probably 5 months and had no problem but the other day when i went to edit a new video I noticed when i exported it any clips that had their speed altered or any fades were showing up extremely pixelated. When i view it back in final cut its fine. just when i export is when the few clips show up this way. The reason its so frustrating is because im editing and using all the same settings that i always have! I even tried editing old clips i knew worked and i had the same problem! I have no idea why this is happening, I've tried every type of export setting and still the same result!
PLEASEEE Help!

I dont completely understand how to find the clip properties, i have a feeling we may be using different versions of final cut? bc I didnt see an "items properties" under the sequence tab but the item properties for the sequence says (and im not sure if this is the information your looking for but)
Vid rate- 29.97 fps
Size- 960 x 540
Compressor- Apple intermediate cod
data rate- 3.4 mb/sec
Pixel aspect- square
The rest are blank or say none
As far as export goes i've originally did export using quicktime conversion and selected the sizes
1280x720 (which is what i normally do)
Compressor native
960 x 540
and a bunch of other options in the menu (leaving everything else as is)
I think tried export quicktime movie and i checked both make movie self containing and unchecking it. all leading to the same result

IPad 4thGen with iOS7 will be able to use slow motion feature?

I just have a simple question. Will the iPad 4thGen with iOS7 be able to use slow motion feature?
Thank you,
Luis

From what I could find, the slow-motion feature is only available on the iPhone 5S. No iPad models are capable.
That being said, I've read that there are some third-party camera apps that may do slow motion recording. Have a look in the App Store.

30 frames into 25 frames using slow motion

I have a PAL DV 25 fps sequence and I have included a clip that is 30fps. The clip is a pan and when rendered it turns out jumpy due to the frame rate change I believe.
To fix it I think I should be able to tell FCP to just use "frame for frame" so that the first 25 frames of the clip go into the first second of the sequnece and the remaining 5 frames flow into the next second and so on. This would give a smoother result although slightly slower motion. I haven't been able to locate tools or discussion on this and if anyone could advise on this I would appreciate it.
fcp 5.1

Use Cinema Tools and the CONFORM tool... Conform to 25. That will take frame for frame and change the number that pass in a second.
Good luck,

Slow Motion and iDVD

I have looked through various questions and answers for months now and have never been able to sort out the fact that iDVD won't create watchable DVDs of my .mov files if they contain slow motion. I'm using iDVD6.
I used to do this all the time on my old G4 iBook without any problems, but the encoding on that seems to have been updated as well.
It's infuriating to be able to watch a nice smooth movie in Quicktime at full resolution, then have iDVD create a rubbish DVD version with flickering and juddering. I video sports activity and use slow motion a lot.
I've tried switching between Best Performance and Quality, have tried creating a disk image first then burning slowly.
So many people seem to have huge frustrations trying to do simple things with iDVD. I have been a Mac fan for years, but my DVD problems and the swathe of DVD problems experienced by others has really tarnished my view of Apple. There is clearly a problem with the way iDVD encodes video, so where's the fix?
Should I just give up and use Toast? Any warnings about that?

Welcome to the forums.
Here are a couple ideas: If your video is under 60 min, use Best Performance for the highest resolution. Import your video from the iMovie file rather than exporting or converting the file (use the Import command or drag the file into your menu area).
Please advise where the .mov files originate; Quicktime is a container format and your .mov file can be more or less compressed... and break down during slow motion if it's substantially compressed or has a low frame rate.

Slow Motion Problems

I've been using FCP now for many projects, and this is the first time I have had this problem. I will use slow motion on a clip and render it. But when I play the clip back, it will skip ahead in the clip, and then freeze. For example, people walking down the street. The clip is 3 seconds and I slow it to 6 seconds. As people are walking, about every 5 frames the picture jumps. Then at 4 seconds into the clip it freezes and plays that frame for the remaining 2 seconds. I never had this problem before, and I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm almost at the point where I want to just reinstall the whole FCS!

It depends on the formats you import. Are you slowing your footage down -100%? make sure you have constant speed checked. Maybe your time remapping it.

HVX200 and slow motion

Hi,
Despite having read several how-to articles, I am still a little unclear on how to make best use of the HVX200's variable rate feature.
What I have done successfully is the slow motion feature that's described here:
http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomonthly/tutorials/trainup/5993.html
First of all, is that generally considered the correct setup?
If so, what's the best way to handle something that I might want at normal and slow motion? For example, a skating coming towards the ramp should be at a normal frame rate but on the jump, I want to use slow motion. Would I shoot all of it at the faster rate described above, use that directly in the 24p timeline for the slow motion part and convert the rest the clip to 24p? That is what I assume, based on reading this
section of article on the History Channel shoot:
O’Brien added, “The most useful feature of the camera was its ability to shoot 24 or 60 frames for any particular shot. Having 60 frames to use as a slow motion shot in a 24 frame timeline was the closest I've come to the days of 16mm, where you could dial up to 72 frames for slow motion. The 60-fps shots can be easily converted in Final Cut Pro to 24-fps if we decide not to use the shot as slow motion. Knowing this, we were unafraid and shot anything that we might want to be slow motion at 60 frames. This gave us a freedom we would not have had on film, where a slow motion shot would be expensive to convert back to normal.
Just writing this down is making me think more clearly that this is the best path but opinions would be much appreciated.

fh

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You adjust speed in the Modify menu. Select Modify>Speed or press Command/J.

IMovies 10.0.4: How do I get Slow Motion and Fast Forward (Speed Editor) to function?

I am using iMovie 10.0.4 and cannot get fast-forward or slow-motion functions to work. I have organized my clips into a Project and attempting to edit them in the Timeline. With the target clip selected in Timeline, I am unable to access the fast-forward or slow motion functions in the menu bar nor by right-clicking to select the Speed Editor. Example screenshot below. Thanks for any help you can throw my way.

Hi,
I have this problem too.
Do you have the issue only on new projects ?
Do you still have an old project where you used slow motion ? if so, just duplicate the project and cleanup all clips from the new project and you have a clean empty project with working speed controls. It works for me.
Let me know.
I've created my own question about it because I didn't see yours at first.
iMovie 10.0.3 on OSX 10.9.4 speed controls disabled on new projects

Wave in slow motion video type

Hi.When i use slow motion video type, it is some waves in the picture and i think its because of a problem.but when i use video type there is not any wave.
what is the problem and what should i do?

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.

Poor clip quality after applying slow motion or stabilization

I am making a movie. Every clip that I change to slow motion, or stabilize (or add both to), becomes blurry. I finalized it & put it on dvd to see if it still blurry on the tv, and it is. Anyone know how to fix these clips so I can get the original clip quality with the slow motion/stablilization?
Thank you in advance

I am using PPro CC 7.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.8.5. I'm working in software only renderer. Just by applying a Three-Way Color Corrector or a Video Limiter (just applied, without any modifications... didn't test other filters), the photo quality is degraded. The result is the same after exporting or rendering the sequence. Tested in DVCPRO-HD and ProRes interlaced sequences, same result.
Here is a photo without any filter applied to it (on the left) and with a video limiter (right) :
On another editing station with CUDA enabled, the problem isn't there. But not all our station are CUDA enabled, so I wish I could fix the problem.

Poor quality slow motion

i have a montage of a wedding set to three minutes of music, all the slow motion video is choppy, when someone walks across the screen they appear to be stuttering. when viewed on the timeline the motion is smooth and just how i need it to be but when exported to apple intermidiate codec and burned via toast 9 the image is jittery, stuttering when we view it on our TV.
Desperate for answers as the finished production should be inthe hands of the bride & groom next week?

If this is a standard DVD, I think you'd be better off exporting a QuickTime movie from FCE and burning with iDVD. If you'll create the DVD on the same computer, leave the "self-contained" check box blank for a much smaller file and quicker process.

FCPX choppy slow motion, picture quality and effects

is it just me or does final cut pro x have really bad quality picture. two main things i have noticed in using this software is the slow motion is really choppy even after rendering out with optical flow and there is a lot of vibration in the picture. lines are jumpy and when adding effects it gets much worse, also there are black lines at top and bottom of screen.
i was using edius prior to getting a mac and it was as smooth as butter, slow mo and all. im kinda bummed about the whole final cut thing. please help.
thanks.
i dont think it has anything to do with my mac. im running a new imac 3.4ghz i7 quadcore 16gb ram and 2gb grafix card.

yes, those are the properties i use.
so there is somthing wrong with the picture?
not just me?
is there anyway to import it at 60i?
for some reason it doesnt give me that option..

Camileo S30 - zoom is ON when Slow Motion is active

Hi,
I've bought a Camileo S30, and im facing some problems like:
when I active the slow motion system, my camera put all the zoom on, and then I can take or move the zoom.
Another problem is, the photos never come focused every time
I take a picture my photos never come right.

Hi
The slow motion seems to be available only in video record mode and if this mode is activated the video resolution would be set to 320x240.
This is QVGA resolution.
Furthermore the stabilization, motion detect, time lapse and slow motion cannot be used simultaneously.

Poor quality of motion background menu

Hello to all.
For the first time I have made a motion menu with Encore CS5.1
The video background of the menu is of poor quality. It seems that the frame rate is lower than normal.
I have made an experiment:
the menu shows a button which gives access to a video sequence which is the same as the background of the menu. The sources are strictly the same.
The result is that the backgroud menu is of poor quality compared to the content linked by the menu although the assets are the same.
The settings I have used are in the images below.
You will see the video at : http://jp-tech.pagesperso-orange.fr/download/DVD.zip
I have carried out different settings. The results are the same.
Any help appreciated, thank you.

Hi Stan Jones,
Thank you so much for the reply.
I am not sure I have well understood your advice. I think you told me that there is not enough bitrate for the audio.
Anyway I have changed the settings as the following and the issue is the same. Best regards. Jean-Paul

Motion file poor quality in DVD Studio Pro

I'm using a Motion file for my DVD menu. I have double checked to ensure that all of the dimensions are correct, however the quality of the motion file is incredibly poor in DVD studio pro. Is there something that I am missing?

Don't trust the viewer in DVDSP. It's by no means accurate. Plus, since you're adding a Motion project to the DVDSP project, the Motion file needs to be converted to MPEG2 so that it'll play on a DVD. You could be either seeing a preview of a file that's not been converted yet, or else the encoding settings in DVDSP could be set too low.
My recommendation would be to burn a quick DVD and view in on a TV for quality.
