Fast/slow/reverse

when i apply the fast/slow/reverse effect, my video gets 'herky-jerky' and slightly blurred.
How can i fix this?
I recorded using the built in isight, and saved to a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) drive.
Thanks in advance!

Matti Haveri, who posts on this forum, pointed out that iM6.0.2 renders deinterlaced vido when it exports to iDVD, so the motion in the fast/slow reverse effect is jerky when watched on an interlaced TV. You may be experiencing a carry over of that bug.
If it is that bug, Matti's suggested work around is to use the freeware program JESdeinterlacer to render smoother fast/slow/reverse. Check out the following site: www.xs4all.nl~jeschot/home.html#DEI
Or, to use iM4 if you still have it on your computer.
I use iM6.0.3, and my speed-up effect is jerky in preview playback, but seems to render O.K. when burned and played on an interlaced TV. So perhaps the bug as fixed or ameliorated in 6.0.3.

Can't "Apply" Fast/Slow/Reverse on some clips

I have some clips in my timeline that I cannot change the speed on. This typically happens with a clip that I already edited in some way. Particularly when I have already altered the playback speed on it before. When I try to do this now, the Apply button is grey and won't respond.
Anyone know how come? Thanks

I have a somewhat similar problem. For a while now, I haven't been able to apply any Fast/Slow/Reverse effects at all. I can select the effect, and even preview it in the main window, and when I click apply it even takes a little while and shows a progress bar while it "renders" the effect. But when it's done, I'm left with a clip with no thumbnail (in the timeline) that, when played, just plays what was there already, but since it extends the length of the clip in the timeline, the whole rest of the timeline is off from what the movie actually is.
I'm using iMovie HD 5.02
Anybody run into this before, or have any ideas?
Thanks

Audio Problems with Fast/Slow/Reverse Effect in iMovie HD

I have been having problems with the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect in iMovie HD with my movie clips. Whenever I apply the effect (reversing at the same playback speed, not sped up or slowed down), when it is finished rendering the audio is choppy, yet on time (but still backwards, as wanted). Before applying the effect, the preview of it works flawlessly, it is only when it is applied that the audio gets choppy. Extracting the audio will not help either because the video will still be playing backwards while the audio will be playing normally (since it can't be reversed on its own). I have tried other effects on the same clips that don't effect the audio and they work perfectly. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks.

Have you got an isolated hard drive with ALL of the required applications and other resources together with the operating system ? Using an external HD to SAVE a running iMovie project is asking for problems. Back up the Project on another HD sure, but don't use System on one HD, running files on another.

Even faster "fast/slow/reverse"?

I'm looking to play a video clip of clouds in super fast motion. The fast/slow/reverse effect shortens about 60 seconds to 12 but I want it to go even faster. Any ideas? Thanks.

Os use JES Deinterlacer for Slow, Fast and Reversed motion:

Fast/Slow/Reverse is not working?

I have tried to apply this effect numerous times without success. I set the markers in and out for the desired clip and click apply effect... The red render bar appears for no longer than a second then disappears and the effect has not been applied?

I notice that my main drive is Mac OS Extended - Journaled and the secondary drive does not say Journaled. I don't know what this means, but everyone seems to think the issue is with formatting.
Journaling is optional, so if your secondary drive says "Mac OS Extended" it should be OK.

Fast/slow motion?

Is there anyway to use fast/slow motion with imovie 08, without downloading imovie 06 which is no longer on Apple website?

Buy iLife '09. It's version of iMovie allows fast/slow motion and many other "missing" features.

How to make my SLIDER control the movement of animations: ( fast & slow)

hello!
i wanna do water dropping animations. using a slider, to controlled how fast and slow the animations can be.
please help me!!!

I need help about controlling my animations with slider.
I already know about slider & water dropping animations, but how to make this 2 things interract.
Right now i have slider and water dropping animations, but when i scroll my slider up and down, my animations still with the same speed.
In my opinion, i think, i need to make one func/method that take var from slider and transfer it to water dropping var(controlling the speed of anim...).
eg: (coding)
//class bla...bla...bla...
JLabel sliderValue = new JLabel("Value = 25"); // slider var
JSlider sliders = new JSlider(JSlider.VERTICAL, 0, 50, 25);
WaterDropPanel drop = new WaterDropPanel(); // waterdropclass
JButton start = new JButton("Start"); // start anim...
JButton stop = new JButton("Stop"); // stop anim...
//waterdrop class...
class BulatanPanel extends JPanel implements Runnable
private Thread runner;
int yPos = -20;
int yMove = 4;
void playAnimation()
if (runner == null);
runner = new Thread(this);
runner.start();
void stopAnimation()
if (runner != null);
runner = null;
public void run()
Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
while (runner == thisThread)
yPos += yMove;
     if (yPos > 310)
     yPos = -20;
repaint();
try
Thread.sleep(10); // var controlling the speed of anim...
     catch (InterruptedException e) {}
public void paintComponent(Graphics comp) {
Graphics2D comp2D = (Graphics2D)comp;
comp2D.setColor(Color.black);
comp2D.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 240);
     comp2D.setColor(Color.red);
comp2D.fillOval(110, yPos, 20, 20);
// slider event handling... ( In my constructor)
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
sliderValue.setText("Value = " + ((JSlider) e.getSource()).getValue());
I'M SORRY IF ITS TOO LONG

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.

Does the ipad run faster/slower with verizon 4g or 4g wifi without the verizon 4g option

I'm looking at purchasing my first iPad and I'm not sure if it's worth spending the extra money to get the wifi and wireless or would it be just as fast to get the wifi version and use my 4g mifi card from Verizon?

What will you use the 4g for? Do you travel often for work, go to very remote places? Why do you have mifi? Do you use your mifi with your phone on a regular basis? Can you use it for your phone and ipad? And don't you pay for mifi on a monthly basis even if you rarely use it? With 4g, you pay on a monthly basis so you might only need to do that a few times a year during the months you use it. I would call Verizon and find out. And I'm sure you're aware that they're always trying to sell you on spending more money so be careful how you word your questions.
I quickly googled the mifi question and saw this article. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/apple/why-i-ordered-a-wi-fi-only-ipad/12470. Please read the comments to the article, too. Some agreed with the writer, while others had very different opinions. If you google your question, you'll get many opinions from professional tech people, users, and former users of 3g and 4g. This might help you make a decision.
We got our first ipad, (64gb ipad 2 wi-fi only) for my husband in June and one of my sons got the same today. Both are refurbs from the Apple online store. They come with brand new outer shell, brand new battery, and full one year warranty (other places that sell refurbs probably do not refresh their refurbs as Apple does, so if you go refurb, use the Apple online store. They're great! We saved a lot of money, even with the 64gb. (I know people love their new ipads, but this way we didn't have to deal with the possible overheating, yellow hue on screens, etc. We did not get 3g because if we are somewhere and need 3g, we all have phones that we can use. And though we won't get Siri on ipad 2 when it comes out, we don't care about it - just enjoying the freedom of 64gb, etc.
So, I suggest you evaluate your needs, check with Verizon, and google your questions. I'm sure you'll make the decision that is best for you!
At any rate, enjoy your first ipad! We think you'll love it!

Forgot to tell you -- to answer your question - I have no idea if the ipad runs faster or slower with or without 4g! (Verizon would probably tell you faster because they'll make more money, so I suggest you also google that.)
Hope this helps!

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:

HT2810 LED BLINKS FAST-SLOW-FAST

A power cut in our area meant that I took my Macbook Pro elsewhere to work. When I returned and reconnected it to my Cinema Display I was unable to get a picture. Other posts seem to suggest that the blinking LED indicates a failed 90W power adapter and that it is not uncommon. If this is true I am shocked to find that Apple supply the display and its power supply without a warning that this can happen and advice on how to avoid it. I have checked the User's Guide and verified that there is no such warning and there is no mention of it on the Apple support page for displays. Before I spend money on a replacement can anyone confirm that there is no reset procedure that retrieves the function? I also need to know if the display itself is likely to be affected and whether Apple can be held responsible for supplying equipment that cannot handle something as common as a power supply interruption.

Trying to figure it out myself. It seems random. I can have multiple missed call notifications and it always slow blinks. Multiple text notifications = slow blinks. But mix any of those and I get fast blinks. But 1 missed email = fast blinks. Seems like no reason for any of it. Maybe I am missing something.
Just glad we have the LED notifications though.

Ethernet performance starts fast, slows down

My TC is directly connected to my new iMac with a high quality Cat.7 cable. No switch involved. So I expect Gigabit ethernet speed but this is not the case.
When copying files down from the TC to the Mac (or one large test file) it always starts fast with about 28 MB/s, then after a minute or more, the speed slows down to about 2-4 MB/s. I have no idea what's the reason. The same happend with an MBP before, so I assume a problem in the TC?
I have tried some network settings, different cables, etc., with no success.
Any more hints?
Besides this I am really unhappy with the overall quality of this TC. It's from early 2009, initially with a 500 GB. My main concern ist the power consumption and the heat. Even when the HD is not running, the device is always hot as ****. I have even removed the rubber underneath to give it more cooling.

Glenn, thank you for your ideas.
Unfortunately these are exactly my settings, already.
May I add that copying TO the TC works with 14-20 MB/s, but only copying FROM the TC suffers speed.
I have created a screencast, which shows this behavior very nicely. Up to minute 1:05 speed is good, then suddenly, without any further interaction, the speed decreases dramatically and stays this slow for the rest of the copy action. You can see transmission speed in the MenuMeters display.

Have a nice holiday season!

How to make clips play faster/slower?

Hi, I recorded a road while driving on it. I want to use it for the beginning of a video but I don't want it to play at real-time speed. I want it to move faster than real time. How can I make this happen on imovie? how do I compress the clip (about 10 minutes) into something more like 5 minutes? I don't want to cut the clip, I want to play the whole thing but I want it to just move faster. It would also be cool because this way I could also learn to make things go in slow motion.

How can I make this happen on imovie?
If you want to do this from within iMovie, use the previous version. Basically, playback speed can be modified by adding your video to an audio clip having a duration or selected segment duration for which you want the video to play and scaling it to the duration of the audio using the QT Pro "Add to Selection & Scale" Edit menu option. You can also reset the playback using the fee JES Deinterlacer utility. (Search the forum for URL to Karsten Schlüter's site area where he has documented many common "Tips and Tricks" for use with iMovie '08.)
