Can a filter be applied to a video clip over time?

I'm interested in graduating a filter over a video clip. Is that possible? Say, for example, I want to blur a very sharply focussed clip at the beginning and have it last for two seconds, then progressively weaken until only the sharp footage is viewable again. Is such a thing possible with FCE4?
I'm thinking that I'd have to split the clip and apply the filter on the piece that needs it, but I'm not sure about the transitional part, the part that goes from blurred to sharp.
Any advice on this? I'm not even certain of what that technique is called

Hi(Bonjour)!
With FCE 3.5 and later only:
Apply the filter to the clip.
Double-click the clip in timeline to open it in viewer.
You can put keyframes for filter's settings in filter tab.

  • Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

    I have been searching for hours and haven't found a definite answer. Anyone know if this is possible?
    Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

    I'm having the same problem. I go to Podcasts/Video Podcasts/News and they only give the featured, favorites (whose?), etc. I want to see all video news podcasts but if I then click on see all, it drops the video classification and shows all news podcasts. The iTunes search in general leaves a lot to be desired; its not very intuitive or pleasant to use, not the usual Apple experience.

  • Why is the SmoothCam (smooth cam) filter not applying to an exported clip?

    I have a clip that required some masking (which my graphics guy did on his PC). After importing the masked clip into FCP, I can't get the SmoothCam filter to apply to it. SmoothCam works great on the original shot from the camera (an MXF file), but not on the clip after it was "tweaked outside" of FCP.
    Does anyone know if SmoothCam has a limitation on what types of files it will work on (ie only raw footage files, MXF files, etc) or is there perhaps some metadata in the raw file that's needed for SmoothCam?
    We had tried exporting a smoothed version before I gave it to him for masking but he couldn't open it on his PC (don't get me started on that! haha).
    He did a wonderful job on the masking (using AfterEffects) but the clip still requires the SmoothCam. And SmoothCam is working just fine (I can still apply it on "raw" clips). But when I try to apply it to this "outside exported" clip, it just doesn't do anything...no error, no indication of analyzing the clip or even trying, nothing at all happens.

    I apologize. I posted this question a little prematurely. After looking through the FCP manual, I found this quote:
    +Note: The SmoothCam filter can be applied only to clips that refer to QuickTime+
    +media files. Also, the SmoothCam filter compensates only for the original video+
    +within a QuickTime media file; the results of filter and motion parameter settings are+
    +ignored. Make sure filters applied to a clip are ordered so that the SmoothCam filter+
    +is applied first.+
    I decided to post this reply in case anyone else came across this issue. Basically, it appears that SmoothCam will only work on QuickTime files (.mov I guess?). My graphics guy had made the file as an MP4 (again..don't get me started I opened the his MP4 in QT and re-exported it as a .mov and SmoothCam is analyzing it right now! So all is well.
    Sorry for the almost unnecessary post. Feel free to comment to expand/clarify my findings.
    Thanks!

  • How can i decrease the fuzziness of my video clip in imovie?

    I have imported video clips into imovie and when i crop out the background so the person is closer, it becomes fuzzy ... so i uncropped the clip and now i have exported the video using quick time and chose the 1920 x 1080 HD size which made it a little better although still kind of fuzzy ... when the screen is small, it is clear ... just want to know if there is something else i can look at ... thanks everyone!!

  • How can I raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12?

    I want to raise the volume on a video clip in Premiere Elements 12. Can anyone help?

    jcomput
    Always good to give the computer operating system involved in case any computer specific details needed to be included. But here is your
    generalized yet specific answer for Premiere Elements 12 and increasing the volume of a video clip.
    If you are in the Expert workspace...
    a. click and drag upward the orange band that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip.
    or
    b. go to Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/ Volume Panel expanded on move the volume slide toward +6 dB.
    0 db does not represent no sound. It represents the volume of the sound when it was recorded. 0 to +6 dB increases the sound above the recording level; 0 to infinity symbol decreases the sound below the recording level, finally to muted sound.
    Please let us know if you are OK with the details above. My blog post on PE12: Audio Features may be useful to you.

  • How can I change the speed of a video clip?

    hi, I'm a new user of iMovie 08.
    I fail to find the function button that can make a video clip slow down or faster, such as change the speed to 60% of the normal speed,etc.
    I know iMovie 06 has this function,it's in video FX,duration,speed...but I can't find the menu in iMovie08.
    Is there anyone knows where it is?
    many thanks!

    Upgrade to iMovie 06.
    Slow / Fast Motion is easy with iMovie 06.
    iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

  • Can Compressor burn a batch of several video clips to one DVD?

    I'm trying to compile a batch of video clips to burn to a single AVCHD DVD-R.  It looks like I can Create Blu-ray Disc job action for each job or video, but I want to burn one disk to contain all the video clips in the batch.  Is this possible with Compressor 3.5?
    I've found that it's possible to do this with Final Cut Pro, after transcoding all the video and putting it in one timeline, then File>Share.  But I was hoping to eliminate the step of transcoding the video to save time and memory, and speed up the process. 
    Thanks for any help.

    Ben, thanks for the info.  I assume I should ingest the videos as ProResLT with a Compressor droplet, rather than Log and Transfer w/ FCP.  Looks like that doubles the size of the video -- not too bad.  I just want to streamline the workflow as much as possible.  I don't want to shell out $100 for Toast right now.

  • Can you take a snapshot of a video clip in FC X

    Seems like should be an east process, simply want to take a snapshot of a frame of video.

    tolazy2
    What Tom told you, use Share>Current Frame. That will make a still of that frame.
    If you don't want to that you could try this, after you stop the video, you can use command+shift+4, then
    drag your mouse over that part of the frame you want to capture, you will see the cross-hairs, for your still.
    Tom's method works great. FYI: FCPX makes a better still images then then older versions.
    I don't have to Photoshop them. that much, like I did the older version's.

  • How to extend audio from a video clip over an adjacent still image

    I'm in iMovie 11.  My project looks like this: video A, transition, still image B, transition, video C.  I want the sound from video C to start playing while still image B is on the screen.  I tried following the iMovie 11 help instructions for extending a video clip's audio.  I click on video C and open the precision editor.  From there I can grab video C and move it back so that it overlaps with the still image, but all that happens is the still image still shows up, without sound, and video clip C starts in the middle.  The help instructions seem to indicate that I should be able to drag only the audio and make that overlap the still image, but it's not happening.  Either the video and audio move together, or nothing moves.
    When I try detatching video C from its audio, I just end up with a big mess because later the audio and video don't synch up.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

  • Bug: Why does PP Conform and reconform same video clips over and over again?

    Any time I click out of PP and then come back to the program from ANYWHERE (even the desktop), PP starts to conform my files.
    For example, I have a very simple test project open with four 5-minute clips in it. All the files have done their "conforming." But I click outside of PP and then immediately click back inside and it starts conforming one or more of the files that it had already previously conformed. This happens every other time I click out of PP.
    Shouldn't a file that has already been conformed need to go through that just one time in a project?
    I'm thinking that my bug has something to do with this now since things go crazy slow while conforming. It has always done this with larger projects, but I thought it was clips that hadn't been conformed before. Now that I only have a few clips to keep my eye on, I see it is conforming and reconforming the same clips over and over again every time I come back to PP.
    Here's a screencast video of the problem.  You can see it reconforms the same files over and over again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFrXk4nTpwo

    I'll describe what happens first, as it makes the explanations of the failure cases a little more clear.
    PPro generates two potential sidecar files for audio - PEK and CFA files.  The PEK file is simply a quick data pass of the audio data that allows the app to draw waveforms (ie it should be pretty quick) - the CFA files are required if the file source is either too slow to decode the audio in realtime (like some MPEG long GOP, for instance), or if there's a mismatch in the sample rate depth.  The idea is that the conform files will match your sequence's audio bitrate settings so that the app can play & mix audio in realtime.
    How does PPro track these additional files?  Every file that is imported is stamped with XMP, which is how we handle metadata on source files.  XMP creates a unique ID which the app uses as a lookup value when it wants to find the PEK & CFA files that it generated for a file.  So, usually, if you have a project where certain clips constantly reconform, it has something to do with XMP.  Why? Usually it's because XMP can't write to the file.  So, every time you launch PPro and open the same project, the media file has no XMP data, so it tries to generate a new ID, so any old CFA/PEK files have an ID mismatch and the app thinks it needs to generate new ones.
    Typical cases why XMP can't stamp files:
    - the media file is read-only.
    - the media's hard drive is read-only.
    - the file itself is corrupted/malformed, and XMP takes the safe route & decides not to try to write any additional data to the file.  (I've personally witnessed this occur with WAV files captured by a Tascam field recorder.)
    - someone deleted the XMP files by hand (certain media types have it as a sidecar .XMP file instead of embedded).  (Don't laugh - I recently encountered a case where people had instituted a server folder rule to delete all files on a network share that weren't .mpg. )
    A workaround you can try: 
    There's a preference setting to turn off injecting XMP into your media.  If that setting is in effect, PPro will not rely on the XMP ID for the CFA/PEK files.
    One other note, if your problem is specific to MPEG files:  it might be that PPro isn't able to index the file properly.  If it can't index, it might be trying to re-index on each launch;  audio conforming always triggers after indexing.   So watch for it constantly indexing - if that's the case, all the XMP stuff I described above has nothing to do with the problem.  It's a side effect of something in the MPEG stream that we're barfing on.  If you do see it constantly re-indexing MPEG files, it would be really helpful to send in a sample so that we can examine the stream.
    Cheers

  • Unable to recover source video clips from Time Machine/Trash

    I have an imac. It has the latest version of mavericks, time machine and Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5. By mistake, some source video clips (mpeg) where deleted from inside Premiere Pro. I tried recovering them from Trash / Time machine. But no luck. it is as though those files never existed on the computer. Please advice as to how those files could be recovered from the computer.

    I am sorry to confuse you. Here are the facts -
    -- the files have been backed up for the past 6 months.
    -- by accident, my 7 year old deleted some files while in premiere pro. He was on it for about 1 minute.
    -- I shut down premiere pro and the computer. Premiere pro did seem to give me some trouble while shutting down. It seemed to have hung up. But, was able to shut down the computer.
    -- I rebooted the computer, open premiere pro and my project. The system was not able to find the source files.
    -- The files disappeared from Finder. Then I went to Time machine and still no files.
    What do I want? I want to recover those files. I am scratching my head here, the files disappeared from the original folder,  they are not in trash and there is no trace of them in time machine!

  • COMPRESSOR 4 - Dragging video clips over but most Jobs dont appear

    I was using compressor 4 for a few hours for the 1st time on my new macbook pro and suddenly now when I drag video clips to create jobs (any number of clips greater then 1 or 2)  only the 1st 2 will show in the job window.  The job count text on lower left corner usually shows correct amount but when I try to submit jobs I get error say, "one or several jobs do not have a target"  but the listed jobs are ready to go?
    Also I noticed even when things appeared to work properly, compressor would give me beach balls if I click on various things.
    Tried reinstallation but no go.
    Please help this is holding up an important job!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I am running Decklink drivers 4.8.1r2, & the latest ATTO drivers with the Medea set up as MacOS Extended format. I have one question though, with regard to the PCI slots in the machine, which is slot 4? do they number from the top or from the bottom? Currently I have the ATTO card in the top slot with the Decklink Pro in the slot below, nothing in the slot below that and the stock video card in the slot at the bottom. I've heard something about needing to put the ATTO card in the one slot that is 133Mhz PCI express and beware of putting anything else in an adjacent slot due to the resulting sharing of the bandwidth or "down clocking" of the bus to the speed of the lowest rated card (being the Decklink I imagine, not being PCI Express)??
    Considering the problems we have been having, we are looking at upgrading to MacOS 10.4 and FCP 5 in the immediate future, wise move or not?
    Thanks again,
    -Matt.

  • No audio when sending video clips over HDMI

    When using an HDMI link (from my Acer laptop) to an A/V receiver, no audio is sent over the HDMI when using Lightroom5 to play video clips, but it works OK when playing the same clips directly from the files).
    Playing YouTube videos, and tutorials, also work correctly (audio on the HDMI).
    (The audio is output from the laptop speaker, and the 3.5mm jack.)
    What am I doing wrong ?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Reply to suggestion to checking system tray: HDMI device shown and not grayed-out.
    However I did find that after rebooting the laptop the sound showed up on the HDMI.
    …not sure for how long of course.
    Thankyou for your suggestions,

  • Place a video clip OVER another video clip

    I, I have two video clips in a window and want to know how to place video clip a, in a small window, over video clip b. I have the two video clips in one window but not sure how TO LAYER them as opposed ot having both show in small windows. Thanks

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    So for now I will generalize.
    If you have video on Video Track 2 and video on video on Video Track 1 directly below, it is only the video on Video Track 2 that you are going to see unless there is some transparency in the video on Video Track 2 file that will let the video on Video Track 1 show through.
    So with regard to
    I have two video clips in a window and want to know how to place video clip a, in a small window, over video clip
    a. Select the video on Video Track 2 and scale it down and reposition it.
    or
    b. Use a PiP (Picture in Picture) effect which you drag into the video on Video Track 2.
    (These PiP effects are typically found with the Effects under the Presets category.)
    Please let me know if I have targeted your question. If not, please detail the information that I need to know in order to help you.
    Thank you.
