Hi res video is skipping!

I recently filmed using a dslr camera, and the video when placed into imovie is very jumpy and skips alot. Is there any way to fix this or do I just need to use Final Cut? Please help thank you.

Any chance your camera is on this list of compatible cameras?
There are workarounds if not, but it is usually easier to find the problem if you clue people in as to what camera you are using, and what version of iMovie.

  • Video preview skipping/freezing after a few seconds

    Hi All,
    I am a new user of Premiere Pro and am having an anoying issue with video stuttering/skipping in the preview windows when editing.
    I am trying to edit GoPro footage shot from a Hero 3 Black in 1080p 60fps. The video preview is at 1/2 res and it will play smoothly for about 3 seconds, then start skipping. If I pause the preview for a few seconds and restart, it catches up and plays smooth for 3 more seconds or so, then skips again.
    I have tried to convert the raw gopro footage to a premier preset (MPEG-2) using brosoft video converter and have the same problem.
    I thought it may be due to hardware limitations with my older PC, but I have upgraded the slowest parts of the system with no luck (the rest of the PC is running like lightening now though).
    Here is the current setup:
    OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
    CPU - AMD Phenom X4 9750 - 2.4Ghz Quad core - 64bit - specs: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20X4%209750%20-%20HD9750XAJ4BGH%20(HD9750XAGH BOX).html
    Ram - 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz
    Motherboard - ASUSTeK Computer INC. M2N68-VM (AM2) (sata II, not sata III compatable)
    Graphics - 1535MB GeForce GTX 580 (EVGA)
    HDs -
    New 256GB Samsung MZ-7PD256 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive (SATA) - System drive
    932GB Western Digital WDC WD10EADS-00M2B0 ATA Device (SATA) - Video storage
    1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARX-00PASB0 ATA Device (SATA) - General storage
    Is there anything else I should be trying here or is this just a limitation of HD video??? Surely I should be able to preview what I am trying to edit without pausing the footage every 3 seconds? =(.

    I have a few other things running at the same time, but I disable network, Antivirus, Media Server apps etc etc (anything thats hungry).
    When play skipps I see RAM at about 50-60% useage, CPU below 50 % on all 4 cores. I have notised that the HDD spikes up to 100% at times but then drops off. I have tried running everything off my SSD and seems to make no difference.
    When I render a clip, it play perfectly....so seems to just be the preview of the GoPro clips thats causing issues. I will have a play with converting the footage to something smaller/lower quallity, but that defeats the purpose of shooting HD footage.
    Another thing I have been notising is that the rendered final clip is rather blury/has some issues with fast moving footage. Any ideas?

  • Firefox hangs for a few seconds when trying to pause videos or skip ads on Youtube.

    Hello all!
    My problem is that YouTube sort of hangs for a few seconds when I try to pause a video or skip ahead or skip ads. The video freezes while the audio keeps playing until, after say 5 seconds, youtube finally does what I tell it to do.
    This doesn't happen if the video is embedded on a different website, nor does it happen on Vimeo, Dailymotion etc. I can play YouTube videos perfectly while using Chrome, IE and a Windows 8 Youtube app I have.
    After the initial freeze all commands start working very well, at least until I open a new video.
    I noticed that a lot of people are having trouble with youtube while using firefox and I've tried a few things:
    - uninstalling and reinstalling flash and java
    - starting Firefox in safe mode
    - using different antivirus software
    - reinstalling Firefox
    I read that this might be a problem caused by the whole Google being all buddy-buddy with Adobe thing, but I'm skeptical.
    So, is there any way to get YouTube to work properly?
    Thanks!

  • Need to split one large high-res video into sub-parts

    I have a very large high-res video (5760 x 3240) that I would like to split into 9 separate videos, each 1920 x 1080.  These would make up the content of a 3x3 video wall and would be 'stitched' back together by the media players driving the wall.
    I am new to After Effects, so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I was told this was possible using AE.

    Thanks for all the responses.
    My next question was how I can make sure I am positioning the video in the composition to the exact pixel.  Seems a little inexact just dragging, but I will try the advanced sizing controls.
    I am being told that the individual media players can sync up to the ms.  We are going to test everything this week once we receive the final video. Since the entire video will be 60gb, there is the question of storage, so we are adding 64gb flash to each player.
    We are doing a similar wall in Europe and they are using a single video server along with a matrixer to get the job done.  
    I've done 2x2 walls pixel perfect and most hardware will choke on that, so I am hoping the multiple media players will be better in handling smaller chunks.
    I will let you know how it works out.

  • Does low-res videos/movies look bad on the Retina display? (compared to a full hd display)

    I'll be watching a lot of movies/series on the MBP Retina i've ordered, will low-res/480p look slightly worse than it would on a full hd display, or will it look horrible?
    Thanks!

    What is a "low-res" video? It will look as good as the "low-res" is. If the video is 100px x 100px it will display 100px x 100px unless you stretch or otherwise manipulate it.
    If a "low-res" video is an old 1930's grainy video it will look like a 1930's grainy video.
    Maybe I did not understand your question.

  • Ideas and Suggestions for Working with Low Res Video Files

    Hi,
    A client has asked me to take all of her low res videos she shot with her iPhone and put them on a DVD.
    I've made her aware that the end result is not going to be a Hollywood production.  I even did a test for her to show the difference between a low res clip and a HD clip.  You can see these clips here:
    http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/lowrestest.mp4
    and
    http://designerandpublisher.com/hs/hdtest.mp4
    She understands and will fix her camera to shoot high-res next time.  Anyway, the footage (330 minutes) I have looks like this when imported into Premiere Pro CS4:
    I first just set up a 640x480 timeline and imported one of her clips.  It doesn't look too bad.  I'm not sure why that green bar is there:
    Then I went into the timeline's properties to see if I can somehow enhance it once it goes onto a DVD via Encore:
    But i'm not really sure if it's worth fiddling around with a customized timeline.  I don't have my hopes up though but I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me what they did in this type of situation.  It seems like the 640x480 timeline, once brought into Encore and transcoded for the DVD, may work best.
    Any ideas are appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Why do videos keep skipping on my tablet when I try to play them

    When I try to play videos they skip and the picture freezes

    This is a Gmail issue.
    It is not possible to delete something from Gmail over IMAP: Gmail doesn't let you do this.  When you "delete" something from Mail, it "deletes" it from the Mac.  However, if you show the "All Mail" folder, you will see ALL your email in Gmail.
    There are 2 solutions to this:
    1)  If you go to your Gmail web account, you can select which Gmail labels are shown over IMAP.  You should disable "All Mail" so you won't see the folder in Mail.
    2)  From the Gmail web interface, you can actually permanently delete emails.  Go ahead and delete them there and they will be gone forever from Gmail, and from Mail.
    This is not something Apple can address.  It's how Gmail implements IMAP, which is totally nonstandard.

  • Video Playback Skipping After Updating Memory Storage

    I am currently using a Macbook from 2006, originally running on OS X Tiger but upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard back in 2009. That switch worked fine, no problems. Recently, in an attempt to make my macbook faster, I upgraded the Memory storage. This is my systems original hardware specs:
      Model Name: MacBook
      Model Identifier: MacBook1,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed: 2 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 2 MB
      Memory: 1 GB
      Bus Speed: 667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version: MB11.0061.B03
      SMC Version (system): 1.4f12
    I upgraded the Memory from 1 GB to 2 GB as was recommended by Crucial.com. Since the upgrade, any time I watch videos on my computer, the video freezes, skips and/or the audio cuts in and out. I've since switched my Memory back to 1GB and still encounter the same issues. Aside from stating the obvious -- yes I know it's an old computer and I'm due for a computer upgrade in general -- is there a way to improve this video playback issue? Or is the other hardware in my Macbook so dated that the Memory upgrade is too powerful for my computer to maintain? Any serious feedback is much appreciated.

    The memory upgrade isn't too powerful, and Snow Leopard should run ok in 2gb of ram. Video takes a lot of resources, try to not have anything else running when you watch video and see if that helps.  Are you trying to watch online videos or are these videos stored on your hard drive or a DVD? You might try running Activity Monitor to see if something is running in the background using up valuable resources
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory and determine how much RAM is being used (OS X Mountain Lion and earlier)
    MAkesure that both sticks of memory are being recognized and also make sure that your hard drive isn't getting too full.

  • Why isn't Firefox playing any streaming videos anymore?...On youtube or wherever I go the audio keeps going but the actual video just skips and freezes up the computer..

    Any video that is viewable on the internet(youtube, flash, etc.) does not play in Firefox. The video is shown and everything but when I click it the audio begins playing normally and the actual video itself skips horribly and my computer begins to freeze up.

  • Video playback skips as user, fine as root

    The title says it all.
    mplayer playbacks video well as root but skips as user.
    xine on the other hand skips too much frames both as root and user.
    That's regardless of any video driver I use ( vesa or i810)
    Tried also "mplayer -xv vo" but video still skips as user.
    Note that user is added to video group

    Problem solved.
    Followed the "Smooth playback" part in this article

    Thx to kenneth on #archlinux.
    xine is still badly skipping, but mplayer is just fine.

  • How do I get 720p res video from ipod to mac

    I'm told the default video res setting on the 4th gen Ipod touch is 720p. The only way I can currently get a video that I've shot to my Imac is to e-mail it to myself, which works but knocks the res way down. Do I have to purchase a third party software to transfer a full 720p video that I've shot to my Mac? Anybody had success with a particular piece of software?
    Thanks

  • Video ipod skipping songs

    So when I am playing some just skip! If I go back to the song that skips it will some times play but not always. Videos do the same thing. Any one else had this problem or have any idea what causes it?

    Hello,
    Do these songs/videos play ok in iTunes, or not?
    Have you tried resetting your iPod? (hold the "menu" + "select" (center) buttons for 7 seconds, then the Apple logo will appear).
    Have you tried restoring your iPod?
    Restore your iPod to Factory Settings
    Restoring will delete all the content off your iPod, but will not affect your iTunes library. This may work for you to clear up those issues.

  • Videos keep skipping on flash player

    Whenever i try to watch a video on firefox, the video pauses, then skips, while teh audio is still playing. For example, if i'm watching a video on youtube, the video (but not the audio) with stay at 0:25 for eight seconds, then jump to 0:33. It will do this over and over again until the video is over. Please help! I've reinstalled flash player multiple times and i've uninstalled, then reinstalled it, but nothing has happened. My computer is a windows 7 64 bit.

    Do you notice if this occurs only when moving your mouse over the video content?  Or does moving the mouse make it better or worse?

  • Video Jumps & Skips after Exporting...HELP!

    Hello All,
    I am working with AVCHD footage in Premiere Pro & After Effects (using dynamic link).  All of the clips in the Premiere Pro sequence I have used the "Replace with After Effects Composition".  I am using After Effects mainly for keying out the green screen in my footage.  I "Export" the sequence from Premiere Pro (QuickTime:MPEG-4) and when I play the 3:37 video, the first 1:39 has 20 clips that are jumpy and skip.  There are also some clips in the beginning of the video that don't experience any sort of jumpy picture.
    I am very confused & frustrated because the second half of the video is perfect.  I even use some of the same footage in the beginning of the video in the end so it doesn't make sense that it skips & jumps in the beginning and not in the end!?
    It is tough for me to explain so here is a link to see the problem & hopefully some of  you have seen this and know how to fix it.
    I am current with all updates for all my Adobe software (Adobe Production Premium CS4) so I don't believe this to be the issue.
    Thanks
    In the clip, the beginning shows 2 different shots that are jumpy then you'll see the same shots (towards the end of the video) that don't jump.

    Thanks Jeff...after some more investigation into this problem I was wondering if rendering it in AE with the the Field order set to either Upper or Lower has anything to do with it?  Especially because a majority of my footage rendered out fine without this option selected at all?
