Can I adjust the speed of my video clips?

I would like to use slow motion and fast motion in the movie I'm making with iMovie '08, but I cannot figure out how. I am positive I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?

You can within iMovie HD. You can't from within '08. (You can pre-edit a clip for fast or slow motion externally.)
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?
It is not so much a question of why it might have been deliberately eliminated but a question of how to add it to iMovie '08. As has been said hundreds, if not thousands, of times already, this is an entirely new application editing in an completely new manner. Motion changes require re-rendering of the file to use it in a project. iMovie '08 does not do any rendering until the project (i.e., which is merely a set of instructions) is actually completed. In case you haven't noticed, none of the third-party special effect "plug-ins" are compatible with iMovie '08 either. Your best bet is to either use iMovie HD (v6.0.4 available free online to iLife '08 users). It is either that or learn how to create such effects externally with other applications like the JES Deinterlacer (free) or QT Pro ($30).

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 Motion alter the speed of a video clip?

Or must this be done in FCP?
I want to speed up a clip.

You can alter the FPS in the media pane, or play with the scrub filter - see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=635543 for Scot Walker's tip. Or you can use compressor or FCP, but you must send the self contained export/import of FCP to Motion. Timeline speedchanges are ignored.

No longer able to adjust the length of a video clip in imovie 6 HD

Without warning (or reason) I can no longer adjust the length of a video clip (new or old) in imovie. I've tried the old way of highlighting the clip and putting the cursor at the start or end, but the cursor doesn't change. I've also tried double clicking on the clip but then the length is fixed.
This problems happens in new and old movies and remained after I deleted and reinstalled imovie.

I searched further using the correct word (trim) and found that I had to turn off the audio levels

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 do I adjust the speed of an audio clip only in Preimer Pro CC?

Need to adjust the speed of a short audio clip so that it begins at zero, and slowly comes up to normal speed. Anyone know how I can do this?

I don't think you can.

Can you adjust the speed of a clip in iMovie '08?

I know you could adjust make things go in slow-mo, etc. in the older version of iMovie and it looks like iMovie '09 lets you do so. But I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie '08? Any hints?

This feature is not built into iMovie 08. However, you can take a clip and use a third party app like JES Deinterlacer to change the speed. Then reimport the new clip into iMovie.

How do I change the speed of a video clip after making it a Smart Object?

In order to apply the same Camera Raw filter to every segment of a clip I was going to split multiple times, I converted the whole clip to a Smart Object, applied my Camera Raw filter settings, and then split the clip and deleted some portions. Now I want to make certain portions of those clips slow-motion, but even if I right-click on the right side of the layer and select "Clear Smart Filters", all I see when I right-click on the clip in the timeline are the motion options; I can no longer change the speed or the audio. Is there a way to do this without having to make all the cuts in the beginning, changing the speed and the audio, and then having to go back and convert each individual segment into a smart object and then apply the same ACR filter to each one?

Brett,
Thanks for addressing this question. I tried it and see that the embedded file is the entire clip that I started with, not the trimmed version that I turned into a SO, but at least I could go back and make a change that way in a pinch.
If you wouldn't mind looking at this video between :50 and 1:40, and tell me if you think that AE or PP would give me significantly better results in the jumping segments where I slowed it down to 25%: 2014-06-26 And the last thing I expected to see jump out of the box was Albert Einstein! on Vimeo. I am trying to keep my expenses down by only using PS CC for video editing, and love the Camera Raw filter capabilities. By using PS CC it also lets me lay down my audio and edit to the audio w/o, as Mylenium suggested, outputting my file from PS CC into either AE or PP to do the slow-mo part.
Thanks again for your help!

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!!

It is not possible, however, there are other measures that can possibly prolong your battery. You may watch this informative video courtesy of Nokia Support Videos - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLa4ZJX_lAs

How to adjust the brightness of a video clip/still pictures ?

Hi there,
I have a video & a still picture on the timeline. But the video & picture are very dark.
I wanna apply an effect to increrase its brightness. Where is the brightness effects located ? Sorry, I cannot seem to be able to find it in the Video Effects.
Thanks

Look at the color correction part in the Inspector.
If you have other clips that look ok, you may try "match color" to make the not so well exposed more similar the better ones. If that doesn't work well, click the little arrow next to "Correction 1", and there you can tweak the exposure, but also the saturation and hue of your clip. Don't overdo it (unless of course you do so willingly and knowingly :-)).

Is there a way to adjust the orientation for camera videos

How can I adjust the orientation from a video taken with the camera?

It appears that "saving" doesn't impact the quality, but wraps the file up in the .mov format (size and quality appear to stay the same). It worked ("saving" instead of using the save as a reference movie seems to fix the starting playback from the poster-frame issue). However, now a new issue has come up... I like to save the files to DVD as the original .avi so they will play on our Philips DVD players. However, being wrapped up in .mov means I have to have two versions of the file, and if my HDD ever dies or fills up I'll have to always correct the poster frame, and save another copy from the .avi original. Kind of frustrating... I wish Front Row/Quick Time would let you easily change the thumbnail and not have to change the format, etc.
Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully some of this feedback has helped others with similar questions.
