How to best achieve slow motion and fast motion

Hi - I am new to the forum and a basic user of Premiere Pro CS5. I am working on a project shot at 24 fps, and would like to do slow and fast motion.
From what i understand there are 2-3 different ways to do this in Premiere - choosing speed/duration of the clip from timeline, or choosing time remapping form effects panel ot using rate stretch tool. Wondering how do these compare and which is better - any pointers for this will be great help. Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere. Or any recommended plugins that would work on cs5 and cs5.5. Thanks.

The main difference between using time-remapping and just using time-stretching is that time-remapping allows you to change the speed quite flexibly at different times in the same clip, whereas stretching just changes the rate for the whole clip.
See this page:
"Change speed and duration for one or more clips"
> Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere.
After Effects has far more control, especially with regard to how new image information is created between the original frames when you change speed and require frame interpolation (frame blending). Pixel Motion and Timewarp use a very advanced motion vector method (based on the Foundry's Kronos software) for doing this.
See "Time-stretching and time-remapping".

IMovies 10.0.4: How do I get Slow Motion and Fast Forward (Speed Editor) to function?

I am using iMovie 10.0.4 and cannot get fast-forward or slow-motion functions to work. I have organized my clips into a Project and attempting to edit them in the Timeline. With the target clip selected in Timeline, I am unable to access the fast-forward or slow motion functions in the menu bar nor by right-clicking to select the Speed Editor. Example screenshot below. Thanks for any help you can throw my way.

Hi,
I have this problem too.
Do you have the issue only on new projects ?
Do you still have an old project where you used slow motion ? if so, just duplicate the project and cleanup all clips from the new project and you have a clean empty project with working speed controls. It works for me.
Let me know.
I've created my own question about it because I didn't see yours at first.

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,

How do transfer files as easy and fast as possible?

Hi, I will have to get all my files on my Mac Mini here on to the new iMac I'll be having in a few hours. How can I do this as fast and easy as possible?
Do I use a USB cable between the Mac Mini and the iMac or what kind of connection should I use? And how do I keep my system preferences and stuff without having to overwrite Leopard-specific files and folders? My Mini is on Tiger.
Can I use a FireWire, I heard they are much faster than USB but I don't know if they can be used for Computer-Computer setups?

Hi.
I am already on the new iMac now. A lot of good impressions so far, and a few things I would change, but I am overall very satisfied with the product
I used a FireWire 400 with 6-pin on both sides. The Apple Genius said Mac Mini doesn't have FW 800 port (new Intel Mac Mini). And it was dumb of me to ask if the files and folders are treated the same way as the applications. I didn't think of the fact that the applications are in like a shared folder and the personal stuff is part of the accounts...
I just have a question, how are some of my preferences transferred if system files aren't replaced? And my main concern with the transfer wasn't that not all files could be transferred, but rather that some Leopard files could accidentally be overwritten and there goes my Leopard.
Anyway, thanks for your advice everybody. How do I use Quick Look by the way?

To remove file from iPhoto and the HD simply put the files in the iPhoto trash and then go iPhoto Menu -> Empty trash.
This works if you're using iPhoto in the default setting, where the files are copied to the Library on import. If, however, you have a referenced library, you'll need to trash the files in your own folder structure yourself.

Slow Motion and Frame Rates?

Hi I have a Sony NEX-VG20EH camera and it has an adjustable frame rate. I have put the frame rate on 8000 and recorded some footage. When i load it into Premiere it is still showing as 50.00 fps. I want to do some slow motion stuff but when i slow it down to 10% it is still quite "jumpy". Any ideas?

While many cameras DO offer the ability to "overcrank" for a short duration, such as to capture a golf swing in slow-motion, I looked at the specs for your camera and don't see that feature listed.
Raising the shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter duration during the exposure of each frame of video. At slow shutter speeds, fast motion will look blurred on a freeze frame or during slow playback, because the subject moved quite a bit during the time the shutter was open. A fast shutter will "freeze" each moment in time clearly, but also lowers light sensitivity, so best used outdoors in good light.
It can be fun to play with shutter speeds - on my honeymoon, I was shooting the airplane prop out my window and cranked up the shutter speed until the prop STOPPED and I could read the serial number off of it in my viewfinder!! Note this was in the old days with CCD sensors - the new CMOS sensors have skew which warps the image in many cases.
Note that very high shutter speeds will result in choppy motion, so only use as needed.

Update install leads to slow charge and battery drain

What's with the slow charge and fast battery drain after the update install?

I did a factory reset 2 Apr, the phone battery seems to be back to normal, but I guess time will tell. I still haven’t tested all functions but for the most part the S5 is back.

How to manage slow and fast moving goods in Demand Planning

Hi All,
Kindly let me know how to manage slow and fast moving goods in Demand Planning.
1. First how to detect slow and fast moving goods
2. which DP model to use
3. Any Best practice while dealing with slow and fast moving goods
Thanks
Arun

Arun,
There are two main concerns with forecasting slow moving goods. For fast moving, yes, trend, level and seasonality combined with a decent demand level gets you through.
So, either you don't have demand in the market for that product; if the product is not critical (like go/no go spare parts) I recommend just averaging out the demand over a period and going with that. Any errors incurred there won't have a significant business impact. On the other hand if it is critical, safety stock and/or contractual obligations come to play.
OR, if there is market demand but your market share is too low for whatever reason, then it gets tricky because you need a predictor variable(s) for which you have good knowledge off (such as CPI index, demand for related products, etc). The forecast is then done on the predictor variable(s) and the low market share applied to 'translate' the expected demand to the product in question. Unfortunately, the case of low demand/low market share I have no idea of how to implement it on SAP. Since forecasting is just the tip of the iceberg, it may pay to do it outside of SAP (say in Excel) and manually input it (unless the products are many and varied).
Hope this helps. Please let me know if this makes sense and/or applies to your question.

Title in motion starts fast and ends slow... need to make it consistent across the motion. Deadline is very soon! help!

I made a title, and used the motion tool (position and scale) in effect controls to move it across the screen, while making it bigger. When I see the motion at hand, it starts very fast and ends very slowly... how do I edit the speed of that motion? working with Mac BTW. HELP

Control it with Key Frames.
If you have applied no KFs it should be linear (constant) already.

Know how make best and faster this?. View my code.

i had an error in the code. which comes from working too fast. & also for free!
so you should cast to char after you do a check for -1. that is the only change.
two other issues:
you can use a larger buffer size for expected larger streams.
you really should be closing your own stream within a finally clause.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Test2 {
     public static String getHTML(URL ff) throws IOException {
          BufferedInputStream data = null;
          try {
               data = new BufferedInputStream( ff.openStream() ) ;
//               data = new BufferedInputStream( ff.openStream(), 2048 or anything here ) ;
               StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
               int c; //not char c
               while ( -1 != ( c = data.read() ) )   //dont cast here
                    buffer.append( (char) c); //cast to char here
               return buffer.toString();
          } finally {
               try {
                    data.close();
               } catch (Exception e) { ;}//report or ignore
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          try {
               String junk = Test2.getHTML( new URL(args[0]) );
               System.out.println(junk);
          } catch (IOException e) {

Slow/fast motion?

I am a super beginner with imovie but im getting pretty good at it and im almost done with my movie but all i have left to do is make something in slowmotion and something in fast motion. does any one know how to do that and can explain 2 me how?

That is not possible within iMovie '08. Here is one way of doing it:
- Select just the section of the video you want to slow down, and export it as a Quicktime movie.
- Download and install iMovie '06 from Apple. It's a free download for iMovie '08 owners.
- Create a new project, import the clip, add it to the timeline.
- Find the slow motion effect, adjust the speed of your clip.
- Export result back out.
- Import edited clip back into iMovie '08.
- Splice it into your iMovie '08 project.
There will be some quality loss as you will go through some format conversions along the way.

HT2479 How can I get a clip to fast forward or slow down?

I tried to fast forward a clip and it said it wasn't an option. I tried to do it with the instant replay and the slow motion and it didn't work as well. . How can I fix this?

PDF searches and how to best index/catalog files.

Dear members:
Please forgive me if my questions are rather basic but I haven't been able to find the exact answers I am looking for in order to address my project needs.
I have a folder where I keep all of my PDF files. These are all articles from medical journals that I keep organized using a browser application specific for these types of articles. The application allows me to search these articles but it only looks for specific keywords (title, author name, date, journal name and keyword just to name a few). However, it doesn't look at the content of the PDF file to find words that are contained in the body of the article itself.
I would like to be able to use Acrobat to search these articles and try to find words I am looking for in the entire article instead of being restricted only to keywords. These are the questions I have:
1. What is the best way to index these PDF files so that they can become searchable ?
2. Is there a way to find out if they have already been indexed by the publishing company so that I avoid wasting time by doing it again ?
3. My library now contains approximately 15,000 articles and I expect it to grow to at least 30,000. How can I handle these searches so that performance doesn't become an issue ? Is there a way to ensure that Acrobat can search these number of files without taking a long time ?
4. I understand from the help files that Acrobat can search an entire folder so I don't have to run my search one article or file at a time. Is this correct ? What is the best way to run my search so that Acrobat looks at all files in one folder ? In this folder I have subfolders (subdirectories) ? Will Acrobat look at all files when searching including those in subdirectories within the specified directory ?
Thank you in advance for your help and replies.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

Hi Joseph,
1. Acrobat Professional ships with the ability to create full text indexes of folders called Catalog. The indexes generated by Catalog can be used by Acrobat or Reader program to quickly search large collection of documents. Here are couple of documents that will give you the idea:
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2007/06/full_text_search_of_pdf_using_ad.html
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/acrobat/articles/acr7at_pdfindex.html
2. I don't think so
3. When you use Catalog on an already existing index, you will get an option to either "Build" or "Rebuild". The former would scan the documents and process only the new, deleted or changed documents. Rebuild would build the index from scratch - slower but gives faster searches. You can also schedule building indexes at regular interval using a scheduler.
4. Yes.
Use advanced search and select the folder you wish to search on.
This would however be slower than searching a Catalog generated index.

Adding Effects like slow motion, fast motion etc...

On the old imovie you could add animations, slow motion/fast motion, and other graphics to clips. How do you do the same with imove 08 most important the slow motion feature?

I'm currently using iMovie 08 and I would switch to iMovie 06 but when I try to install it but the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6" pops up. My computer went through a hard drive crash recently and when they replaced it I thought they popped in iLife '08 (hence being stuck with iMovie 08) but i dunno... suggestions?
