HELP - Make video clip go in slow motion?

I can't seem how to make part of my video go in slow motion, I've tried looking for tutorials everywhere and it won't tell me how.
Please help!!
I use iMovie '11

Drag the clip that you want to adjust from the Event to a Project.
If it is already in the Project, start here.
There should be a small gear icon on the clip in the project. Click it to open the Clip Inspector.
Go to the Clip tab of the inspector. Here you can select your speed adjustment from 12.5% to 800% (I think).

  • Video controls in Aperture: slow motion? 1/4 speed? Reverse?

    Hi.  I don't use Aperture for video, but might.  My search of the User Manual and the forum turned up nothing.  Is there any way to play a video in Aperture in slow-motion?  At any speed but normal?  In Reverse?
    Thanks.

    I don't believe so.
    Video in Aperture is  extremely limited. Apart from trimming the length of the clip there is't much else you can do with it.  I think it's meant mostly as a place to store the clips and integrate them with your stills. For any real video work you need to export to a real video editor.

  • How do 1990's stand. def digitally shot videos have such good slow motion?

    So I have some older 1990s sporting videos on vhs that I am pretty sure were shot digitally, and they are 4;3 aspect ratio, but my questions is, most of the video is shot in slow motion, and it is soooo smooth and slow, I mean almost as slow as my 60p HD stuff I can shoot on my EX1. Were they shooting 60p in the early 90s or is that software just doing a good job of slowing it down?
    Thank you.

    it is a motorcycle video. couldn't have cost that much to shoot.
    What makes you think that? (Hint: I shoot a lot of pro motorcycle racing stuff).
    I doubt it was film. no film grain or anything...
    You would have a tough time discerning film grain on a VHS tape's 240 lines of resolution.

  • Video shot specifically for Slow Motion playback

    I thought I might try starting a thread for sharing video shot specifically for the purpose of playing it back in slow motion. For the first example, I shot this flag flying on a perfectly clear day. We have had a lot of really clear blue days lately much to my delight.
    My Panasonic DMC-GH3 can shoot 1920X1080 at 60 (59.94) frames per second. That is frames, not fields. So interpreted at 29.97 frames per second it plays half speed. This was taken a step farther and played back at 24p. So if my math is correct, it is playing at 40% (close enough).
    Funny, but the camera actually has a setting to shoot video to play back at 40% but it seems redundant to me. Perhaps if the video was never going to be edited, just played back, that could come in handy.
    I used a recording from the US Army Band because I was in the Army and I am just used to hearing it played by the Army Band. I thought of adding the lyrics since I really like them. All four verses. I just didn't have enough footage to do it right and I love the sunshine and blue skies. So here is a link to the four verses for those who want to play the video four times and sing along. Nobody? Are you sure? I did it. Couldn't help it. 
    I am probably going to put up a couple more copies. One with the Pledge of Allegiance and one with the first verse of the National Anthem.  In the meantime, I am enjoying all that blue sky.
    If your camera can shoot at a higher frame rate to play back at 24p, please post some examples.  If you are particularly good at using Premiere Pro to modify the playback speed of video, let's see what you've got.
    The camera was siting on a GorillaPod shooting at approximately a 30 degree angle. The lens was my 100-300 set for 183mm, the equivalent of 355mm on a 35mm camera.
    ISO 200. This video has not been modified in any way other than interpreting it to play at 24 frames per second, to trim off the beginning and the end (to eliminate the shaky setup and take down of the shot), and I also added cross-dissolve transitions at the beginning and the end. No color correction of any kind and no stabilization. This is what the camera saw.
    I really love the flag of the United States. If you live in the United States I hope you do too. Today is Washington's Birthday. So Happy Birthday to the Father of our country. Our first President. This is my present to our founding fathers on this day, and I chuckle to think about how shocked they might be at the number of stars on the flag, and I am sad when I think how mad they would be if they knew how far we have strayed from the principles they fought and died for.
    (I'll bet old Ben Franklin would love the Internet though.)

    Steve, regarding my request getting inside flag and changing shutter speed etc..
    I have to admit right off that I don't understand this myself as I should...and I don't have a motion pic camera OR the DSLR ....which I can get in April ...at which time I will be off to the races trying to figure out how to use it.
    But the gist of what I was getting at ( though hazy and not understood by me ) I'll try to explain...
    Motion pic film cameras with the mechanical gizmo that pulls down the film ( frame by frame ) have a rotating shutter ( the gizmo is typically called a mitchel movement I think ). The rotating shutter has a mirro on the back side which allows a person to 'see' via some magic stuff ( prism ? ) what is in the frame ( eyepiece ). I guess it's similar to a SLR mirror but this one spins.
    This is what it looks like
    So, a normal setting for that shutter is 180 degrees... and it spins so that each frame gets 'exposed' by the open part of the shutter. Then when the shutter is spun to the closed side ( no light getting to film frame ) the 'next frame of film' is dragged down into place to be exposed. So that happens typically 24 times per second.  It is pretty fast.
    Some motion pic cameras can shoot even FASTER ( amazingly )...and you can therefore increase the FPS. Then as you know when it's played back at 24 FPS in projector, it looks like slower motion.
    Unfortunately if the FPS is increased the 180 degree shutter may not be letting in enough light to get a good exposure anymore... so that shutter can be adjusted ( called the shutter angle ).
    So a 45 degree shutter would let a lot more light hit the film ...cause it lets more light through its rotation time.  This is the part where I can totally confused....and hopefully I'll learn more when I get the DSLR how this is handled with modern digital camera.
    Cause, if you let more light hit the film by adjusting film motion pic shutter it stands to reason there will more " blur " from the longer exposure. However, this is offset by the faster FPS speed... so this is why I am curious about it...
    As a point of fact motion pic cameras can be synchd to CRT screens using a mechanism that times the shutter to coincide with the horizontal 'lines' of the CRT ( timing of frames of interlaced signal )... and the shutter has many 'angles' it can be adjusted to ..
    So, anyway, I guess this is something to explore when I get that DSLR...
    I was thinking it might look cool to have slo mo with more 'blur' to make something look a little ghost like...kinda like my flag picture with time exposure...
    crazy idea...

  • How about using a 60fps video for a smooth slow motion effect in a 30fps project ?

    Hey all,
    I happen to have a video camera that is able to shoot either in 720p/60fps or 720p/30fps.
    As you guessed it, 60 fps mode is very useful for action sports when you want to do some slow motion effect running very smoothly.
    I have few questions I would love to be answered, and I was not able to find answers till now.
    Here they are :
    1/ If I want my final video file to be, let's say, 25 fps, is it mandatory that my project is 25 fps too ?
    What will happen if I do a 30fps project and that I export to a 25fps file ? Does Premiere simply remove some extra frames ? Or will it lead to a longer video ? What consequence on the final result if frames are removed ? I mean, will I be able to see any difference or will the difference remain theorical ?
    2/ Let's say I have both 30fps and 60fps videos. I set my project to 30fps. If I import my 60fps video to the timeline, it will be adjusted to 30fps and some frames disappear to keep the duration the same. Okay, this is clear to me.
    But now, what if I import my 60fps to the timeline, but set the speed to 50% ? Will Premiere apply the 50% to the original file (therefore I should have all the frames displayed on the timeline : 60/2=30 fps), or to the 30fps-adjusted file of the timeline, leading to some jerky footage?
    3/ If I want to use my 60fps for slow motion purpose in my 30fps project, would it be a good idea to right-click on this file in the project windows, going to the "modify" menu to set the image frequency to 30fps ?
    Because while doing so, if I drag the file to the timeline, I noticed it would last 2 times longer (resulting in a slow motion video) Does that mean that ALL the frames of the original video are displayed ? Can someone tell me what exactly does Premiere ?
    I would be very grateful if someone could tell me what are the correct settings to chose in order to realise the best slow motion videos as possible.
    Thanks in advance !

    With due respect... this does not answer my question and does not help me that much , but anyway, thank you for the very constructive answer ^^.
    I'm not sure I would even have considered doing this by myself...
    I hope I do not get this kind of answer because you feel like my question was silly or unpolite... To my mind this was a pretty serious question.
    Shooternz, next time you need to go 150 km far away from where you are, go by feet rather than with a car, I'm sure you will have plenty of satisfaction too. Just cross the fingers for you not to be in a hurry while it's raining outside.
    Well, I may be naive but i thought some experts already had the answer to this (I guess I'm not the only one who intend to do some slo mo), and would have been kind enough to share this knowledge with me. That's what sometimes happens in communities.
    Please note I do not intend others to do the job for me, I'm just asking if someone already knows the answer.
    I asked this question because I couldn't find any documentation about this, and I guess asking on internet was the next step, as testing would be like the last resort, being very time consuming.
    It was easy to check the effect of dragging a file to the timeline to see if it played normally or not, but it's definitely not to count and compare each frame of some sample file to find if some are lacking, or have been doubled or what....
    I assume I would be very happy with just a simple theorical answer either...
    So once again, if someone already has been into such questions, I would really pleased him or her to share or report what they experienced. Thanks in advance.

  • Why when I click on a link to play a video it runs in slow motion?

    When I click on a link within a site (MSN) to play a new story the video runs in slow motion. This started to happen suddenly. I have tried to refresh Firefox and updating some add-ons but still have the same problem. What can I do to fix it. When I try it in IE it works fine but not in Firefox. Help!

    From what I found on MSN it looks like it uses Flash. It is quite possible to try to disable/enable hardware acceleration in Flash or disable protected mode. [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

  • Why are my clips shaking after slow motion?

    I captured clips from my Canon 7d and converted the clip through mpeg stream clip, pro res, 60 frames, full HD. When I imported it into FCP and set the speed to 50% (or any speed, except normal) the top of the clip shakes the entire time, before I made the clip in slow motion there was no shake.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Did you shoot 720p 60? That is the only format that shoots 60fps.
    Conform with CINEMA TOOLS. doing a speed change in FCP doesn't do it right.

  • Help viewing video clips in iphoto 08.

    I recently downloaded both photos and video clips taken from my iphone 5 and downloaded to my mac OSX 10.6.8 computer (as I have many times before.) I quickly discovered that I can no longer view video clips in the iphoto 08 program as I have always been able to do.  Why?  Typically, I would double click on video clip and it would play in iphoto.

    I can commiserate about the bad disk drive, because I went through that.
    The latest version of iMovie is 9.01 (also known as iMovie 11).
    About your movies in iPhoto...did iMovie see them before? Were you on iMovie 11 before?
    Will they play in iPhoto? If they will play in iPhoto, chances are you can import them into iMovie. Note where they are in iPhoto by using right-click (or control-click)/Reveal in Finder.
    In iMovie, use FILE/IMPORT FROM.../ to find that file and import it.
    If your laptop is less than three months old, it may have come with iMovie 11. If it is older, it probably had iMovie 09. iMovie 11 came out in late October.
    If you were on iMovie 11 before, then reinstalling iMovie should make iPhoto movies visible again, assuming they were not corrupted in some way. When you convert to iMovie 11 it upgrades the thumbnail files (but not the video clips) in such a way that is not backward compatible.

  • After rendering clip is in slow motion

    Hi,
    I've been using Gopro shots, which were converted to AVI with Cineform, following the CS 6 issue:
    Sequence setting, and clip rate: 1280x720, 100fps, avi. after the rendering the clip takes place in slow motion on the timeline.
    Why is that?
    If I use the same clip in the setting 1920x1080 60fps render remains the original speed, so it will not slow down.
    Thanks, Alex.

    The pc can handle the yellow line, but not some of the cross fades.
    The clip plays in normal speed after exporting the 1280x720, 100fps.
    It only slows down on the timeline.
    Any solution or idea what the problem is?
    i put it in 60fps sequence because it doesnt slow down after rendering.

  • How do I view a video on iPhoto in slow motion

    Is there an easy way to view a video in slow motion imported from either an i-phone or camera?  I have no problem viewing the video I just want to slow it down to see the action.  Thanks.

    In iPhoto or your iPhone or on a Mac?
    On your Mac you could install QuickTime Player 7. This lets you step a movie using the arrow keys (in slideshow mode) or play the movie at half the speed.

  • Playing GoPro Video 120fps - defaults in slow motion

    Is there a way to change the speed of play in Photos?  My GoPro videos that I took at 120fps are played in slow motion by default and I can't figure out how to change it to play at normal speed.  Ideas?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    is this when you play the video in iPhoto? Yes
    what version of iPhoto are you using? The latest
    what system version are you running? The latest
    where is the video from? Camera
    does it play correctly if played outside of iPhoto with Quicktime Player? No
    what fixes have you tried? Running Quicktime which shows Slo-mo; unchecking it and then saving it
    where is your library located? On my startup drive in my docs
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? No
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? Don't know; do not have this screen in iPhoto
    what type of Mac? Mac Pro
    how much free space on your boot drive? 200 GB

  • Help ! (video clips)

    Im just editing my video footage, and would like to put some video clips downloaded from the internet, which websites can i download them from ? =and what video are compatible

    While they will not be great quality, you could download the videos if they are not encrypted using a program such as TubeTV (http://www.chimoosoft.com/products/tubetv/). I believe this downloads them to an MPEG4 format, which FCE is not compatible with. You could then use something like MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/)to convert it to an FCE friendly format.
    However, as David said, if you want the video to maintain good quality you should contact the creator to get the original footage for editing. And if this video is copyrighted, the above process will likely not work and should not be used. If copyright laws are in place, you should get permission from the copyright holder.

  • How do i get my video to work in slow motion or sped up?

    I'm trying to use iMovie on my iPad to play/post movies online (i.e. FB, YouTube). So how do I speed up my videos or slow them down (editing) prior to posting? I've researched with iMovie for said information but have been unsuccessful in finding any resolutions...Any advice would be most appreciated!

  • How do you make a clip slow down

    I'm new to final cut so I hope this question(s) isn't too naive. First of all I have imported a clip that has a world turning right before a transition into something else I don't want (ie I only want the world spinning). But whenever I select the range I want, and remove the rest, if drag the desired clip longer the old (unwanted material shows). So clearly I'm not cutting or deleting properly. Assuming I have the clip I want, the other problem is that I'm trying to match it to audio which is considerably longer (like 6 minutes versus 40 seconds). There is no obvious place to cut and make a copy (loop) without it being noticeable, so I thought it might be better to simply make the clip run in slow motion and match the duration to the audio clip. How do you do this?

    Simple. Select the clip (or portion of the clip) you want to slow down. Go to the "Modify" menu, then go to "speed." Type in a new percentage (50%, for instance, will make the clip run at half speed). I also suggest checking the "frame blending" box....it should make the slowed-down clip look smoother (you can try it both ways and see what looks best to you). Then render the clip (from the "Sequence" menu) and you're done.
