How do I take advantage of high frame rates while editing video in iMovie '09?

I have a GoPro Hero2 Hi-def video camera. It's capable of shooting up to 120 frames per second. How can I take advantage of that smooth slo-mo in iMovie '09?

hi kyle,
sorry, but just to elaborate on your response a little while ago here:
- i captured the 24PA footage using the advanced pulldown
- i captured the 24P footage using no pulldown
- i am editing in a 29.97 timeline now, as most of my footage was shot with 24P
please let me know your thoughts on how i should go about working with this footage!
thanks!

  • How can I change to a higher frame rate than 12 FPS?

    Just got a good deal on a 15 in MACBOOK Pro running Yosemite with the latest Quicktime and iMovie. Is the best frame rate I can get out of this HD camera 12fps? I can't find anywhere to change it in QT or in IMovie.

    So you seem to correctly understand the information in the linked Use More Light! article.
    studiojl wrote:... I don't like that at all...
    Your emotion is irrelevant.  It simply works the way Apple software is written.  Perhaps some other computer system works different from Mac OS X and Apple camera apps?
    If you intend to keep using Mac, you can take manual control of some camera parameters by using a third party add-on app such as iGlasses, Webcam Settings, or Sight Control.

    Whatever frame rate is set by the program of the software application you are using to record those clips.
    You can determine that frame rate by making short test videos and watching it in QT Player.
    The QT "Inspector" window will show you the frame rate for the clip.
    Here's an example for a clip made in my low-light room:

  • How can I take advantage of the Retina screen while programming in JAVA?

    I've been writing desktop applications for years on LINUX and MSWindows.
    Now, my applications are not aware of my MacBook with Retina screen:
    all pictures and measures should be twice as small and sharp.
    Those are not.
    ;JOOP!
    P.S.: I installed JAVA 6 JDK from APPLE.

    The cables can be found most anywhere.  For cables and adapters I always recommend searching www.monoprice.com first.  They have high quality cables for very good prices.  As an example search for TOSLINK at their site to find optical cables and related components.  It's where I got mine.

  • How do I take advantage of all the space I should have!?

    My iPod nano(2G) isn't being able to use all of its space for music. I should be able to use 1.83Gs, but it doesn't even let me add ONE SONG! How do I take advantage of all the space I should have!?!?!?!?!?!
      Windows XP  

    What format are the songs you have imported? The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space, that's probably why you are getting fewer on. Go to iTunes and right click on one of your songs, choose Get Info>Summary and look at "Kind" to see what format you are using: iTunes: About import settings and hard disk space

  • How do I take advantage of the free Lion OSX download for this IMAC?

    How do I take advantage of this free download?

    If you purchased a Mac after Jun 6 you are entitled to a free upgrade to Lion.  You will find information about that program at Lion - Get up to date. If you did not purchase a Mac after June 6th you will need to first be on Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later and purchase Lion using the Mac App Store for $29.99.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 to Take Advantage of High-End Hardware

    Here is an interesting video where David Helmly of Adobe demonstrates the advantages of Xeon processors plus a Quadra 2000 and a Tesla 2750 in a Maximus configuration.  Evidently Premiere Pro CS6 has been redesigned to take advantage of  higher end hardware that only demonstrated a marginal performance advantage in CS5 - CS5.5.  David also mentioned increased program stability.  The 2750 must be a new card, perhaps under development.  I couldn't find mention of it anywhere online, Nvidia's Website etc.
    Here is the video
    Other Tesla cards I looked at were in the $4000 range.  Would like to look at benchmarks of the very high-end system David spoke of in the video.

    James.. It's probably too technical for me to explain, but see this link: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xeon-e5-2687w-benchmark-review,3149-10.html from a recent review by Tom's Harware Review.  I was originally expecting that a 3930 would produce output much the same as a similarly clocked E5 Xeon, however, there seems to be more to the puzzle. FYI, E5-1600 series are single socket CPUs, E5-2600 are for dual socket boards. A "W" on the end denotes workstation processor. Hope this helps. 
    I'm also in need of upgrading (Pr-Pro 5.5 with an older Bad-Ax2 MD w/quad X6700 CPU - ancient for HD needs).  Was considering a 3930 or new i7-3770 Ivy Bridge set up, but maybe should consider spending big bucks $$$. By the way, I found a 460GTX, at a good price, with 336 Cuda cores and ran the hack.  It does help quite a bit, but 1080P AVCHD still is tough on the timeline.
    Curious to get your takes on the Toms reviews/ benchmark results.

  • 4K Monitor Support - Higher Frame Rate Hz

    To all those geeks who are trying to get 4K support from your MacBook Pro I have done it.  Using SwitchResX, Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter it works on the Seiki SE50UY04.  I am powering it with a MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running 10.8.4 OS X.  I have plugged the Belkin into the left side LightingBolt outlet.  I am running the Seiki monitor at 3480x2160 @14Hz.  Images are fine.  Screen a little slow, but usable.  Have run a number of 4K videos using Quicktime7 and FlipPlayer and DIVx.  FlipPlayer was not as good.
    FYI.  The Best Buy rocketfish Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter did NOT work.  Nor did the right sided HDMI port on the MacBook.
    Has anyone gotten this to work at a higher frame rate and how did they do it?

    I did what you did, but with te timing from the link below.
    It works with 15 Hz - wow!
    Then I aranged the screens and restart again.
    After this in system/monitor (standard controlfield) I can select as frequency 15 Hz AND 30 Hz.
    Did it - got it! 4K at 30 Hz is what my seiki SE39UY04 is telling and what I can see.
    For info: My miniDispayport to HDMI is Club3D CAC1153 (active one HDMI1.4)!

  • How to build a array with high sampling rates 1K

    Hi All:
    Now I am trying to develop a project with CRio.
    But I am not sure how to build a array with high sampling rates signal, like >1K. (Sigle-point data)
    Before, I would like to use "Build Arrary" and "Shift Register" to build a arrary, but I found it is not working for high sampling rates.
    Is there anyother good way to build a data arrary for high sampling rates??
    Thanks

    Can't give a sample of the FPGA right now but here is a sample bit of RT code I recently used. I am acquiring data at 51,200 samples every second. I put the data in a FIFO on the FPGA side, then I read from that FIFO on the RT side and insert the data into a pre-initialized array using "Replace Array subset" NOT "Insert into array". I keep a count of the data I have read/inserted, and once I am at 51,200 samples, I know I have 1 full second of data. At this point, I add it to a queue which sends it to another loop to be processed. Also, I don't use the new index terminal in my subVI because I know I am always adding 6400 elements so I can just multiply my counter by 6400, but if you use the method described further down below , you will want to use the "new index" to return a value because you may not always read the same number of elements using that method.
    The reason I use a timeout of 0 and a wait until next ms multiple is because if you use a timeout wired to the FIFO read node, it spins a loop in the background that polls for data, which rails your processor. Depending on what type of acquisition you are doing, you can also use the method of reading 0 elements, then using the "elements remaining" variable, to wire up another node as is shown below. This was not an option for me because of my programs architecture and needing chunks of 1 second data. Had I used this method it would have overcomplicated things if I read more elements then I had available in my 51,200 buffer.
    Let me knwo if you have more qeustions

  • Cannot create slideshow with high frame rate

    I have just bought QuickTime Pro version 7. I am using Windnows XP SP2 on a Pentium D machine.
    I am trying to create a movie with still images I captured from my digital camera. I created a 10 seconds slideshow and set the frame rate to 30 frames per second. I then saved the file as a Quicktime movie. When I played the movie with my QuickTime Player, I could see actions for the first two seconds only. After that, the picture didn't change eventhough the progression bar was moving. Once the movie reached the end, the player then changed the frame to show the last picture of my slideshow.
    In short, only the first 60 images are shown in the first 2 seconds. Then the slideshow was stuck with the 60th image, until it changed to the 300th image at the very end.
    Does anybody has the same experience? Did I do anything wrong?

    One more thing. If I set the frame rate to be less than 10 frames per second, it works fine. It just won't work with high frame rate.

  • Perf. implications of high frame rate

    What are the performance implications of using a high frame
    rate in Flex. Our designers suggest that a frame rate of 60fps is
    smoother animation. They are creating Flex components with Flash
    CS3 and want to use the higher rate and use them in Flex.

    As you might expect, a higher framerate is going to consume
    more of the CPU. It's pretty much that simple. Some end user's
    computers may not be able to keep up with the framerate and their
    experience will be less smooth, probably less smooth than if you
    used a smaller framerate. I suggest you experiment.

  • High frame rate outputting

    Is it possible, having shot footage at 100fps (with a timebase at 25), then interpreted footage as 100fps to maintain the high speed frame rate, to output this as a 100fps file, to be watched at the same speed? I'm guessing only some machines/players can support this, but this is separate issue. I'm wanting to find out about getting a workflow for high frame rate footage in Premiere (or After Effects, as I read somewhere else this can support 99fps outputs.)
    This is not a question of slow motion shooting/overcranking- there seems to be the capability to shoot high frame- is it possible to retain this in order to output it at the same speed it was shot?
    But the issue seems that high end footage (say from a RED for instance) can only support a timebase framerate of maximum 59.96 (although something like a GoPro can go to 120p)
    Would be great to discuss this more- its only a matter of time before this becomes more prevalent...

       If the GoPro 2 does 60p I'd do that if you want slow footage from that cam too.   Either way I'd do a custom project storyline at 720/30 frames. Then do some web searching on the term "conform" because you'll want (I think) to conform the fast stuff down and that will slow it down. You'll just import some portion of your 120fps footage from the event library  and  and choose Conform Speed from the Retime menu (command R). You can go beyond that by retiming further and by choosing Optical Flow for video quality. If that still isn't enough you might need twixtor but you may find that's workable. If you shoot at 120fps you'll get some seriously slow stuff after conforming and retiming slower. 

  • I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program

    HI All
    I want to play video on my computer to make some analysis to it's frames,the problem that I face ,I can't change video frame rate using labview,but I can change frame rate to the video out of labview using some program .
    I used IMAQ AVI Read Frame VI
    for example I have avi video It's frame rate is 25 fbs ,my image processing code is very fast that can process more 25 fbs,so I want to accelerate video acquisition

    Hi abdelhady,
    I looked into this further, and reading an AVI file into LabVIEW faster than its frames per second won't be possible. LabVIEW could read in frames faster than 25fps, but because it will be pulling the available frame at that point in time this would just give you duplicate frames. If you want to be able to read in frames at faster than 25fps, you would need to speed up your AVI file before reading into LabVIEW.
    There's a good shipping example to show how to read in from an AVI file, "Read AVI File.vi". You'll notice that they add timing to make sure that the while loop runs at the right speed to match up with the frames per second of the file being read. This is to make sure you're not reading duplicate frames.
    Thank you,

  • Sync and frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3

    Just like the subject states, I am indeed having frame rate problems importing video to Flash CS3.
    When I export a video from Premiere with the settings:
    1280x720
    frame rate of 23.976
    using H264 or Animation (basically every codec produces the same results),
    "embed video on SWF and play in timeline"
    When I do this the file exports fine. Playing it in Quicktime works fine and the audio syncs up no problem. But when I import it into Flash using the same settings, for some reason the movie clip is now too fast in that the video does not match the audio and seems to be at more like 12 fps now (just a guestimate). The action of the video is over long before the audio even comes in.I have verified that the frame rate is correct in Flash so it's not that.
    I've done this literally hundreds of times in the past and suddenly it does not work and I can not figure out why. I'm not even really using video, but actually artwork that I am putting together as an animatic for an animated piece so the video could not have been imported incorrectly or digitized wrong either. Can someone out there please tell me how to make this work? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    -Mike

    Thanks for you quick response however it really doesn't apply to what I am doing in any way. I will not be uploading the video to a server. I am using the imbed function so I can use it as a layer and then animate over it. It is just reference and will ultimately be deleted. The Fla file does indeed carry the same specs as I stated in my first post. I have done it this way dozens of times and I am trying to figure out why it suddenly will not work.
