Clips with speed change freeze upon export

When previewing my finished movie in FCP everything looks great, but when I export it all clips with a speed change - constant not variable - freeze up on a single frame. I cannot figure this out, any ideas? Thanks.

Export Directly from Final Cut, using *Quicktime Conversion:*
Click Options...
*VIDEO settings*
COMPRESION: H264
Quality HIgh
Key frame rate 24
Bitrate 1000
frame reordering YES
encoding mode: Multipass
Dimensions 320 x 240
SOUND
AAC, 32 Khz (good or normal)
Perhaps this will help... ( I do a lot of motion graphics in final cut and use this for sending for client approvals...) for bit rate I usually use 650 to 850, but I saw in the Compresser web settings, bitrate was 1000...
ALSO< is your original video interlaced? If so, try checking off option De Interlace (in size) or vice versa...

  • Export EDL or XML for seq with speed change

    Hi,
    I am trying to export an EDL or XML of a 30 sec sequence of 10 clips. 5 of them have speed change. Basic speed change, not variable. They are UC 10bit from a DigiBeta captured with a Kona 2.
    The problem is that the exported EDL or XML doesn't get the right clips in and out points for recapture on other systems. Any clue?

    As long as there are speedchanges in the sequence, FCP will screw the EDL timecodes for source clip in/out and position in the timeline....and it's way off.
    And the problem is not with Flame, if I open the XML or EDL in TextEdit, I see the TC mistakes. We do that all the time with the Avid MC and it works very well. Even if the speed changes wouldn't go through, I would expect clips coordonates and in/out to be ok.

  • Issues with speed changing on clips

    i have a issue with speeding up clips. ive exported a slideshow and them imported it into imovie but noticed it was a bit too long..i tried speeding up the clip but when i do and try to play the clip it just shows a black screen..however if i hit backspace and revert it back to original it plays fine..any ideas whats going on? this is soo frusterating to go back and for between the two programs and be off by a few seconds? ?thanks

    well the audio built into the slideshow clip im not worried about..but yes bascially its a bit too long..and for some reason the speed tool will change the width of the clip to a perfect length but then when i go to play on it and check it..i just get a black screen..its just quite irritating to have to go back and forth exporting and cause im 8 seconds to long or whatever you know. thanks everyone hopefully my descrition is better this time.
    i have to try a regular video clip and see what happens..it may only be a iphoto slideshow issue.

  • Disturbed Audio with long clips and speed changes.

    Hello,
    I experienced a strange problem in FinalCut Pro (v 6 and 7).
    -I capture a clip with a Blackmagic Decklink or a DVS Pronto as Uncompressed Quicktime, 720p50 via HD-SDI with embedded audio. The clip is about 10 minutes long.
    -I speed down the clip at 36% by changing the clip's speed in the sequence.
    When I render the audio track, I get completely distorted audio after some minutes until the clip's end.
    The problem doesn't seem to occur when I put the clip in a sequence and nest that sequence into a second one and change the nested sequence's speed.
    Is that a known bug? Did anyone out there experience the same problem? Is there any technical explanation and solution?

    Both Picture Safe and Title Safe are guidelines. They were developed to ensure that titles and pictures placed within these guides would be viewable on most televisions.
    In the same way that no two tv's will look the same with regard to colour, there can also be a great difference in overall picture placement on the screen. Keeping titles within the safe area will help ensure that even the most poorly calibrated set will still show the entire title.
    You can't convert the MP4s because you do not own the right to use them.
    As for the MP3's, time to do some work and look it up. The Search function here is a great resource.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

    Here is an Matrox AVI that was captured in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Watching the edited clip with a speed change of 600% looked fine when played in Premiere Pro CS4.

    Have you ever upgraded Adobe Premiere Pro in the middle of a project?
    By the way I captured the same clip in Adobe software only mode using HDV as a capture settings.  The editing mode is Adobe HDV 1080i, 29.97 frames. The results are also jerky. When I render the clip captured it is also very grainy??

  • Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

    Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
    What works:
    Drop clip into new comp
    Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
    Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
    Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
    Set speed% to something low, like 5.
    Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
    What doesn't work:
    Repeat above steps... up to 5
    Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
    Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
    Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
    When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
    If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
    Has anyone encountered this?
    In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

    Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
    For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
    If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
    UPDATE:
    I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

  • Annoying problem with speed change tools in FC7

    I have a clip that is 8 seconds long. Halfway into the clip I want to slow down and freeze on the end frame. How do I do this?

    This is trickier than it could be.
    Double-click the clip in the Timeline to load the clip in the Viewer.
    Click on the Motion tab and open the Speed area (Time Remap in FCP6).
    Move to half-way through your clip.
    Click the Insert/Delete Keyframe button to create a new keyframe.
    Press the right arrow to move forward one frame and press the button again to create a second keyframe.
    Right-click that second keyframe in the keyframe graph and choose Smooth. You may need to zoom in (command-plus) to get the right one.
    Press the down arrow to jump to the end of your clip and press the Insert/Delete Keyframe button a third time to create a new keyframe at the end of the clip.
    In the keyframe graph, drag this final keyframe down a little. The curve should dip to a flat line to indicate a freeze frame. You may need to tweak the bezier handle on the second keyframe to adjust the speed ramp.
    This feature isn't new, and for complex tasks it's still better than the new speed tool in FCP7. If you find it confusing, remember that horizontal movement takes you through the sequence and vertical movement takes you through the clip. If the line goes up, left to right, it's going forward. Down, left to right, is backward. Steeper lines (relatively speaking, because zooming changes angles) are faster, and a flat line is a freeze frame.

  • Imovie '09 v8.0.5 bugs with speed change and titles

    OK so here is what I'm experiencing.
    I take a clip and change the speed. Then I add transition from the previous clip to this one and all of a sudden I cannot play the video again. I can't delete the slowed down clip even. I can play video that is in the events library, but not that in my project. When I do mouse over the beginning of my video and play I can hear the sound but it is like it is far off in the distance and the video is just solid gray. I have run into many other similar bugs when changing the speed of a clip but could always delete the clip, quit, relaunch, and try again. With this problem I added a transition and can't even delete the clip. Apple please address this issue. Thanks!

    I am having the exact same issue. Change the speed of a clip in the project, then the ongoing video screen no longer displays the project correctly (but does display when playing clips from the library). This happened recently as I've made several older projects on iMovie 09 using multiple speeds. Perhaps a bug with the 8.0.5 update.

  • Audio will slow down with speed change, but not speed up

    I'm using FCP 6.0.6 and am trying to adjust the speed of an audio clip and some odd things are happening.
    If I change the speed of a clip to, say, 130%, the clip shortens appropriately, but the audio don't change. It just crops it off. And in the speed dialog box, the drop down menu is grayed out and Constant Speed is chosen.
    If I choose to slow down the clip, to say 75%, everything seems to work. The audio is slowed, the clip lengthens, but then I can't change it to anything else. It says slow regardless of any adjustments in the speed dialog box. I have to go back through "Undo"s to get it to change.
    Am I doing something wrong? I read some questions about this with people using FCP 7 and that seems like how mine should be working.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Well, it is an .AIFF file converted from .WAV in Quicktime. It is 187.5 megs and has a datarate of 344.5 k/sec. It is stereo at 44.1K and has a 32-bit Floating point.
    That help? I actually just was able to do the time compression in Soundtrack Pro. But I'm sure I've done it in the past directly in FCP.

  • Object with gradient feather disappears upon export to pdf

    I'm troubleshooting a file where an object with a gradient feather disappears from the exported .pdf file. The rest of the file is perfect. I've tried different .pdf presets. I've tried moving the offending object to its own layer at the bottom of the layer stack. I've tried copying all the art to a new file. I've tried grouping everything. Nothing is working. I can successfully export to .jpg format. I'm using InDesign CS5 on an iMac. Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Entire audio pitch correction WITH speed change, I am lost.....

    Hello, here's what I need to do but I can't figure out exactly how to do it and no online videos on the subject can be found :
    I have a song that needs to be in the key of A, but since it was recorded from analog tape the pitch is NOT A but a bit above the A mark and it's the same for the entire file (I can see it clearly on the Pitch View Window),
    all I wanna do is to "drag" entire file to the right A key point which SHOULD change the tempo/duration too, the question is HOW ??
    HELP please as I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing out .
    thanks

    Okay you should have it then.
    In Edit (Waveform) view) hit Effects then select Time and Pitch.  On the T&P menu select "Stretch and Pitch (Process)" which should be the bottom option.
    There you should see one of these two screens depending which algorithm is selected.  If Audition is selected, you'll see:
    Tick the menu option I've arrowed.
    Or, in the Izotope algorithm (my recommendation), it'll be similar.with the menu option, phrased slightly differently but in the same place.

  • Recapturing video on clips with smoothcam

    As recommended in other topics about Smoothcam, I have exported a short clip as a Quicktime movie, imported it into my project, edited it into the timeline, and applied the Smoothcam filter.
    The results look great!
    My question is this: If at some point I need to recapture footage, will I need to keep track of exactly what I exported and manually repeat that process, or will FCP keep track of the reel, timecode, etc information and be able to recapture, and re-render the clip automatically?
    I looked at the Item Properties>Logging info, and it seems that all of the info is a part of this new clip.
    I just want to be sure!

    You cannot depend on FCP's terrible media management system to do anything except fail.
    It will easily recapture the footage for you upstream of all nests and processing. Once you nest or modify a clip with speed changes and the like, all bets are off.

  • FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

    Hi!
    We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
    We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
    We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
    Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
    Thank you!

    Hi! And thanx for the tip.
    But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
    We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
    SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
    Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
    Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

  • Real time speed change mixing

    Wondering if a way exists for me to make on the fly speed changes in real time while doing a voice over. Would like to just play a clip while recording my voice over and be able to freeze the clip while I continue to talk, then hit another key to start the clip moving at regular speed again all while I continue to talk. I don't even necessarily have to do the voice recording using FC. Just would like a way to do this which is a lot like real time audio mixing, but with speed changes. thanks.

    The VO tool in FCP requires real-time sync to the playhead, so that won't work that way.
    SnapZ allows you to record an image of the desktop, system audio (FCP playback), and the Mac's built-in input all to separate tracks of a QT file. I have used this for software instruction videos. There is a quirkiy issue with snapZ and frame rates. I posted a good workflow to address this a few months back. You would only need to do this if you were going to use the video recorded with SnapZ.
    Hope this helps - -

  • Can Premiere CC Recognize In-Camera Speed Changes ('Ramps')?

    I am editing a project shot in 6K with a Red Dragon.  We recorded a number of shots with speed changes ('ramps') triggered at specific times IN-CAMERA during the course of the shot.  Premiere CC does not seem to recognize the changes - and only plays the clips back at the slower rate.  Is there a way to get these ramps back?
    Also - on a more basic level, is it possible for Premiere to interpret the relative frame rate of off-speed clips in any kind of specific way?  In the project media window, everything displays at the frame rate i've set for the project (23.976) regardless of the frame rate at which a clip was recorded.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Ryan W.

    I thought the idea of a camera ramp was to keep the playback at a set rate so that the motion smoothly went to slow-mo as the camera fps increased. You can interpret the footage to any fps you want, you will get that option if you right click the footage in the project panel.
