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.
Regards,
fh

Making video start fast and slow down?

I am trying to avoid doing this in FCP because I know speed changed video can be jumpy...
Basically I have video that pans and I want to start fast, lets say 600% speed and slow down just at the end to 100%.
I know that in motion it doesn't work with percentages, so how's the best way to go about this. I tried variable speed, but It starts slow then speeds up...
Also, I would like to add a motion blur, is this achieved with activating motion blur in the render tab?
Thanks

Well, I had a bunch of videos that I overlaid with mattes to make it look like one continuous video... But the resulting video was 30 seconds and I needed it to be 5 seconds..
So I exported a QT movie and re-imported it into Motion. Then I just went to the Timing property and changed the speed to variable. This gave me a key frame at the beginning and end of the clip. So I just dragged the keyframe at the end to 150th frame (for 5 seconds).
But since I wanted to slow down the video just a tad at various points, I added a key frame to each area I wanted to slow. I then went into the Keyframe editor and made the interpolation to bezier, then just rotated the bezier to be horizontal. This slowed the video just a tad in each part.
I also changed the frame blending to motion blur blending.
Pretty straight forward once I got the hang of it.

Are bursts and slow motion videos transfered as they are to a PC

I wasn't sure how to ask this question in short. I have an iPhone 5s and a Windows computer. When I take a burst photo, how does it work when I transfer the photos/videos directly to my computer? (not going through iTunes) Do the bursts save as individual pictures or are they lost? or maybe you can only see them on your iPhone? Also with slow motion videos, I know they don't save as slow motion unless you save them again as if that was real life capture. I do believe that they become slow motion again if i put them back on my phone, as the format is probably the same. Is this true?

Premiere Pro just doesn't do slow motion very well, especially not with 24 fps footage. You can help correct that:

LoSpeed ramping and slow motion?

Hello
I have some dslr and go pro footage shot on different frame rates from 50fps to 120 fps. I want to be able to ramp the speed on the footage. However I keep running into the same problem "Flicker"...
For example I have some dslr footage shot at 50 fps. I can change the fps in, Modify- Interpret footage, to say 25fps form 50fps to get nice slow motion, but then im stuck with that frame rate for the clip.
If I start fresh and use the speed ramp, I get jerky footage when I change the speed.
Is this an after effects task?
I have seen a few good few tutorials but they always separate the two different techniques. What am I doing wrong?.
Best example is all those lovely go pro video with things flying by then gradually going to a slow mo then speeding up again seamlessly without any flicker.
Im not trying to achieve a super slow frame rate like what you might see with twixter, I just want a nice smooth transition from 50fps to 25fps and then back up again.
Any idea or tutorials would be appreciated.
Thanks
Philip

for 'Extracting audio' read advice on my site

for slowmo, use a free 3rd party software, illustrated advice on my site:

Reverse and slow motion

I am very new to i movie can one reverse and make a clip go in slow motion in i MOVIE HD?

Hi eyesa -
Beverley has done the 'finding' for you, but actually, she should not have had to.
Rotorius had explained the steps to find the info you needed in iMovie Help.
...I have tried that and found nothing..
Perhaps you did not operate the search function correctly, because by entering the word 'reverse' in the search box, you definitely will get the answer you needed. I wonder if you were maybe using the Search Discussions in this forum, rather than the Help menu in your iMovie project?
I am only posting this to explain that you can use that very useful Help file to answer many of the questions you may have. By all means ask the forum for help when that does not produce an answer.
I know it's all a bit of a puzzle when you start out:-))

Looking for DVD player that will repeat a segment (loop) and slow motion

I have iDVD and the DVD player in Snow Leopard, but want to be able to play a dvd in step-by-step frame, and also (especially) to loop round smaller segments. I use it for dance video, and need to see dance moves over and over without necessarily playing the whole segment. Is there any software I can buy/install to do this? Like Cyberlink for Mac? Thanks.

I searched for a DVD player with a jog shuttle -- and you're right. They're all but impossible to find! I havent' found one made in the past 5 years!
I don't know of any way you could accomplish the same thing with software either.
Most DVD players have slow-motion and frame-by-frame features. (Even my cheap $40 Toshiba.) That may be the closest to it.

Glitch and slow motion

when i play my music, the song starts normal, and then it starts to glitch, skip, and slow down. Anyone know what to do? Help would be amazing because this is very annoying! Thanks!

Ok so I did nothing and now it's working fine....I guess I just needed to wait for it to load a bit.....
I would still appreciate some feedback on how to avoid this issue.
Thank you.

Fast-forward/ Slow Motion

is it possible to edit a video in iMovie to go faster or slower than it would originally? the old iMovie can but i can't find a way of doing it here?
thank uu for any help! xxxxxxxx

just down the list is this thread which should answer your question

Slow-Motion and Fast forward

Hi,
Let me know if you can implement these functions with OSMF.
Thanks
Steve

If you use RTMP streaming with FMS you need to check the docs for NetStream.step() method:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/NetStrea m.html#step()
Implementing this in OSMF is not trivial. You'll need to get deep into the OSMF NetLoader APIs (there are lots of posts explaining how to create custom NetLoaders in this forum).
You can also emulate fast-forward with seek() calls, and slow-motion with pause() calls This might be somewhat easier to implement and it will work for progressive content too, but the performance might be much worse than using the step() approach.
Let us know how it goes,
Andrian

What is the suggested frame rate to record in for fast / slow motion processing from a clip recorded

I want to create a video however I only have 1 dslr camera and I want the ability to post process the clips I record to be either in slow motion or fast motion. I don't want to have to record something in 24fps then 60fps. is there an ideal frame rate for both. What are some of the best practices for this in regards to recording and post processing in Premiere Pro.
Example of fast and slow video. Thanks.
http://vimeo.com/75259949

The ideal is to shoot in different frame rates, one for real time footage and one for fast or slow motion clips. This is called under and overcranking. It means you have to decide when shooting whether the clip will be real time or not.
Less than ideal is to shoot everything at one frame rate and then slow it down or speed it up later. It's less than ideal because the effect is never as perfect as the ideal method. Especially in PP, which does not do very well with slow motion to the point I recommend using After Effects instead. (At least with 24 fps media.)
On a side note, you can help solve the horrible slow-motion problem:

Video editing 'special effects': can you apply a fast/slow motion effect to video clips?

I haven't been able to find a way to create the effects of fast or slow motion in the video clips. Is there a way to do this? If not, please consider adding it in the full version - I use these effects alot when editing videos.
Thanks!

Hi,
When working with a video layer (clip) in the Timeline panel, either 1.) Context-click on the selected clip (right-click or ctrl-click for mac) or 2.) Click on the flyout button located at the top right corner of the clip.
The "Speed" option should show up in the flyout menu. This is only available for video layers. If you're working with still or smart objects the speed option is not available.

Imovie shakes on Slow motion and transitions

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me.
I recently went to a wedding and my mum video'd it. As part of the present for the bride and groom I wanted to get a nice song and put snippets of their day into a small video. I have used either cross-disolve or the other one (overwrite or something its called) in between the clips and I have also slowed one of the clips down to make it look like slow motion. On the computer this was fine and then I put it onto DVD and when I played it through the DVD the transitions and slow motion are really jerky as if its shaking. It doesnt do it all the way through, its really just at the beginning of the DVD and then it settles and the last 30 seconds or so are wonderful. Can anyone advise as to what to do?
Thanking you in advance
Tracey

Slow motion and resolution

Will using slo mo (fcp HD) change image resolution?

I am in charge of creating some segue sequences that are experimental in nature with layers, loops, and slow motion. The director posed the question that it might be a too severely "degraded" image quality compared to the other "talking heads". I just want to know what I'm dealing with when it comes to pushing final cut's filters, traveling mattes, etc to an extreme. < </div>
We call those Cool Assignments.
It's not easily answered. The absolute image quality is predictable by knowing how many filters or render steps are in your process. But the apparent image quality may be far better, as noted above. "Pushing" FCP's effects system is easy because it's so limited until you go out to third party tools and then you must have a firm grounding in codecs and compression.
You are going to distract form the heads not by offering up a degraded image as far as pixel quality is concerned. "Degraded" in your case, seems to refer to the deconstruction of the image by deliberate manipulation.
Here's another question, if I create a complicated sequence with layers, mattes, slo mo, etc. then export to a quicktime file to compress and then import it into the main timeline, will this ensure a higher quality overall? < </div>
As Brian and Zap are trying to add, "compress" isn't what you want to do. That's whey many of us move to Motion or After Effects for this stuff and then render to a lossless codec.

IPhone 6 Plus IOS v8.1 Slow Motion BROKEN

Film in either of the two slow motion speeds and plays back ok on phone. I put the files in the computer (grab the raw file via explorer), on Win 7 Professional, and played with both windows media player AND Quicktime player (up to date players) and the videos play either no slow motion, plays alternating between fast and slow, one time it played slow but had normal voice pitch, other times played slow with low voice pitch. On youtube, they don't play in slow motion. One I shot vertically (which I did just as a test) and it was sideways in the computer, however, youtube rotated it so it's vertical but it is not in HD and it does not play back in slow motion. This same file that was sideways in my computer stopped playing after about 2 seconds in the computer, but played through ok in the phone. I noticed that as the video plays in the phone, there are blue vertical lines below the left/right scrub/scroll bar for the video. This can be set to play only a portion in slow motion. But WHY does it start each video with the ends nudged in so the first 3 sec is regular speed and the last 2 are also reg speed also w/the slo-mo in between? It defaults to this each time an you have to spread it out to get all slow motion..
In Win XP, some of the video files don't show up. It shows .aae files with corresponding numbers to the videos, but most of the videos are not there.
I think this is a huge software bug that needs to be tested. I updated the os on my new phone before I put anything into my phone. Everything else has been perfect till this. HELP!

You said, "...plays back ok on phone." That's where Apple's software stops. Your problems with Win 7, Win XP, Quicktime, and YouTube need to be addressed on forums for those programs and/or sites. Presumably the issue has already been resolved by users on those sites, with different solutions for each.
