Change Video Speed in iMovie 08'?

I probably haven't used iMovie since iLife 04' and am now editing a video using iMovie '08. I'd like to to have a portion of the video I'm editing play at a faster speed... kind of like a time lapse video for a small portion of the project. Is there any way I can do that in iMovie 08'? I was able to speed up/slow down and play in reverse parts of a video in the previous version of iMovie. Are those editing methods not available any more?

No.

You still can. iMovie HD download for iLife '08 users.

Not from within iMovie '08 but you can change speed externally. Here is my favorite method using the free JES Deinterlacer.

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

IMovie '09 v 8.06 - Changing video speeds on clips messes up the video clip

I have ALWAYS had this problem with iMovie.. Randomly it will work, but usually, when I'm trying to put some slow-motion segments in my movie, they jump seemingly randomly between parts of the source clip. In otherwords, if I have a 60 second clip, and I split it at 20 seconds, and 25 seconds, and then slow the 5 second middle part down to 50% using the slider (so that 5 seconds of video is now 10 seconds long), that 10 seconds jumps around between seemingly random sections from my video. If I change the speed back to 100%, the clip goes back to normal. This is REALLY frustrating... Has anyone seen that??

If you right click on your clip, does it offer to Optimize Video? If so, after you optimize you can change the speed.

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!)

Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

Capturing video at 3/4 speed in imovie HD. Can you adjust capture speed?

I shot footage using the JVC HD100 at 24p. Even though FCP now handles it, it keeps aboring the capture. I tried using imovie HD, but it keep capturing at 3/4 speed. The audio plays normal, but the video is sped up. Is there a way I can change the setting in imovie HD to capture at a normal speed. My work around was to conform the video back to 23.98 in cinema tools, but this is too tedious for an entire movie. Can someone help? Is this a glitch in imovie?

iM is a consumer product, 24p is way out of its specs...
iMovie is a consumer video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV/D8 camcorders
so, 25/30fps, and HD via firewire, because HD content gets converted "on the fly" into Apple Intermediate Codec...
Is there a way ... to capture at a normal speed?
yes, buy some 4GHz-quadcore-überMac.. ;-))

Why can't I speed up video clips in iMovie for iOS?

in iMovie 2.0, it allows me to slow down the video clip, but how come it doesn't let me speed up the clip?

Looking at the article you linked, this is all it actually says about video speed:
You can change speed on videos and even do picture-in-picture on iOS devices. The changing speed setting is great for iPhone 5s who can record slo-mo video at 120 frames per second.
As this states, you'd think that 120fps would be necessary to slow down video, otherwise it starts to look choppy. If you speed it up you're basically just dropping frames, right? Still a mystery why we can't speed up in iMovie.

No.
There are other apps that can to time shifting, or speed effects.
iMovie cannot.

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!

Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed

Is it possible to control the duration of a video clip in IMovie? Speed
it up/slow it down?

I actually think the content gets smoother in faster mode. But maybe that's just my opinion.
By the way, the fast/slow/reverse effect is pretty sensitive, i use it for my fight scenes in movies and I can only raise the bar one notch faster before it starts to look cheesy.

Using iMovie Version 10.0.2 (Mavericks) and importing HD 1920x1080 since I am not interested in any smaller quality.
in other words, I would like to be able to import videos from my camera (highest available quality) which could be played on QuickTime.
Is there any way I can avoidaving my videos saving in " iMovie Library.imovielibrary" ???
I am interested in having my videos as (1920x1080 .mov) file and no other.

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

Changing the speed of video playback

Hi Gang,
Just wondering if there is a way to change the speed of video & audio on itunes?
I know this can be done on iPod with the audio book function, just wondering if there's one for videos?
Cheers

Do you mean by a strobe effect that the brightness of the footage is changing randomly?
Or are you saying that the motion of your footage is not smooth and moves with a sort of rhythm that feels jumpy?
These are 2 different possiblities.
The odds are you are experiencing field reversal caused by changing the frame rate of your footage and thereby switching the field order in the clips. I've posted many explainations of what field reversal is in past topics so search for the term.
You could minimize the effect by using the flicker filter in the footage that is being changed. You could also send the footage to Motion and enable Optical Flow in the Time Mapping properties of the clip. But that's a fairly advanced technique. Try the Flicker Filer first.
Without more info, I can't help you further.
