Importing slow motion sequenze (848 x 480) from GoPro Hero 3 black edition in FC

How can I import a slow motion sequenz from my Hero GoPro black edition into Final Cut? The original has a resolution of 848 x 480. After the import Final Cut makes this sequenze a little bit larger (640 x 480), resulting that part of sharpness is lost.

When dropping the clip into the timeline for the first time, try setting the Video Properties Format to NTSC SD and Resolution to 720x480 DV Anamorphic.  Clips of your resolution should fit and leave a bit of pillarboxing on the sides.  To ensure you're playing it back at the best image quality, go to Playback Preferences, and set Playback Quality to High Quality.

  • GoPro Hero Black 4k Project/Import Settings?

    I've tried to import GoPro Hero3 Black MP4 footage into PP5.5 but only the audio imports so I'm assuming PP5.5 can't handle MP4's.  So, I'm having Cineform, a GoPro product, convert to AVI which is easily imported.
    However, I'm not clear on how to set up a project for GoPro 4K footage.  Indeed, I'm not clear on the implications of the many choices one has when setting up a project.  If I choose the wrong one the project won't work?
    Thank you!

    With this mixed bag of assets, you are going to have to compromise.
    At first blush, I might want to start with a 3K sequence... up-scaling
    the 1080, and downscaling the 4K.
    If this ends up not working out, you can create a new Sequence with
    different settings and copy / paste the clips into the new Sequence.
    Your mix of frame rates is another issue.
    I would pick the frame rate of the primary media source (hopefully
    the 3K), and work in a Sequence that matches that frame rate.
    If I set it to 1080 do I only get a small portion of the 3K and 4K footage?  Conversely, if I set it for 4K, are there huge black borders around the 3k and 2K footage?
    No.
    You will use 'Scale to Frame Size' in the timeline
    or a Motion Effect > Scale / Position to fill the frame.

  • 720p 120fps clip from GoPro Hero3 Black not recogniced by Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello. My clip from Hero3 Black Gopro isn't recognized as a 120fps clip. I've read people saying that this is normal because premiere pro won't recognize them for anyone.. But it does, look at this clip:
    http://youtu.be/YeHCUNH4KcM
    At around second 30 it shows how it recognizes that the file is actually 120fps, in that same screen, I get that the file is 59,94fps and not 120fps and it really is.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you.

    I've created a few sample files for anyone interested. These files are straight from the camera.
    Here is a 1280 x 720 at 60 fps: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/92935787/1280x720%2059fps.MP4
    Here is a 1280 x 720 at 120 fps: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/92935787/1280x720%20119fps.MP4
    Here is a 1280 x 960 at 100 fps: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/92935787/1280x960%20100fps.MP4
    Import these into Premiere Pro CS6 or even Media Encoder CS6 or After Effects, have a look at the metadata and both of the 720p videos will show up as 60 (59.94) fps. I tried this in Premiere Pro CS5 and had the same result.

  • Picture degradation from GoPro Hero2 when editing with iMovie

    Hello!
      New using iMovie11 and a new GoPro Hero2.  MacBook Pro running Lion.
    Excellent picture quality from the Hero2, SIGNIFICANT degradation of picture quality using iMovie to edit the footage.  I have tried converting to .mov and then editing, as well as editing the MP4 files directly.
    The Hero2 is shooting at 48fps, but iMovie11 automatically chooses 24fps and will not allow me to change it.  I would assume this is the reason for the picture quality being so very poor?
    Help on what I am doing wrong would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You can really only view full quality...and judge that quality...on an external broadcast monitor, or good HDTV, connected to a video capture card in your system. Computer displays never show you what you actually have.

  • Iphone 6 slow motion import

    I am unable to import my slow motion into FCPX from my iphone 6. What it imports is standard 30 or 60 fps video that plays at normal speeds.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to bring it in as a slow motion clip. I even imported it into iPhoto, where it plays as slow motion, then go look at it in the FCPX media browser for photos and it again plays at regular speed (not slow motion).
    Can someone help me figure out how to import slow motion clips into FCPX from the iPhone 6?
    Thanks!

    There is a misconception about the "slow motion videos" in iPhone.
    In fact, they *really* are videos recorded with a high frame rate (up to 240fps in iPhone 6).
    They are *not* in slow motion per se - even though the iPhone software may play them as such.
    In fact, I'll go so far as to say that there is no such thing as slow motion videos. There are videos played in slow motion.
    What happens when, say, you drop your 240fps video in a 24fps timeline, is that it plays at normal speed. This is as it should be!
    The big deal is that, since your clip has all those extra frames in it, you can use FCP X to slow it down (up to 1/10 the original speed in my example) and it will use all the real frames the camera captured. Plus, you can use all the retiming features in FCP X to obtain perfectly smooth slow motion.
    By means of comparison, if you slow down a video recorded at the same frame rate as the project it is in, FCP X has to make up extra frames that did not exist. Even though FCP X has some great algorithms for this (like "Optical Flow"), it can't match real captured frames.

  • Clip sent from PPro showing black in AE

    Using a Windows 7 PC and PPro CS6, we added keyframes to a clip to adjust speed within that clip.  Next, we sent that clip to AE in order to create high quality frame blending for smooth slow motion.  Our problem:  when we send the clip edited in PPro to AE using Adobe Dynamic link, it comes into AE black.  What are we doing wrong?  Is there a setting we need to change or steps that we need to do differently in order for the clip to come into AE correctly? 

    We sent the clip to AE via Adobe Dynamic Link.
    We are less familar with AE and therefore used PPro and keyframes to do adjust the speed because we already knew how to do that.  However, we've been told that AE does a much better job of creating high quality slow motion and that's why we were wanting to use it for frame blending.  If you could lead us to a good overall tutorial on AE that would help us learn it better than we do today, that would be helpful. 

  • I imported video from a card into IPhoto and it plays in slow motion.  Any suggestions? Would importing into IMovie help at all?

    Hello
    I am importing video and pics into Iphoto and the video plays in slow motion.  Would importing in Imovie help or does it have something to do with the type of camera or file the video is in?

    It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

  • Imported Video not in sync with sound. Video in slow motion...

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to Premiere and I wanted to spend some time playing around with it. When I import my videos, the playback is out of sync. The sound is normal but the video is in slow motion so it doesnt sync together. Am I missing something? Using Premiere Pro CS4 and filmed it on a Sony Xacti with MPEG4 AVC sequence.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve
    Oh by the way, it seems to open and play just fine in any other media player

    Steve,
    Glad that you got some material to practice with. That was your goal here.
    Now, file conversions from compressed source material will usually not yield great quality. Unfortunately, the conversion process, unlike what some would love to believe, does not restore quality to the compressed material. It only changes some of the characteristics, but imporved quality is not one of them. Also, depending on the actual conversion program used, the quality can suffer even more. This is a fact of life in Video.
    Now, when you go to get your camera, there are many great threads on many camera makes and models already posted. If you cannot find info on your considerations, post to get recommendations, based on your budget and what you wish to use the camera for. I'm not positive, but I think that the new Equipment sub-forum would be a good place to ask. Previous posts will not be there yet, but will be in the general forum. Many, but obviously not all, cameras have been discussed in length, and their pluses and minuses have been debated.
    Good luck,

  • IPhone 6 240fps slow-motion import

    Hey everyone,
    I understand when I import the clip into Final Cut Pro I choose 30fps, and then click on the clip and set it to automatic speed. Then I will get my 240fps slow-motion.
    2 issues though.
    I would like to have the same effect as Quicktime Player opens the file for me. Starts in normal speed and then transfers to the slow-motion. I could probably build this with speed ramp, but is there an easier way to just have it like that already?
    Second issue, when I set it to automatic speed, I do not get the sound from it. In final cut pro x it sounds really weird then, just very high sounds (rain), but in Quicktime Player and on my iPhone I really hear the deep sound when the raindrop hits the ground. Any idea how to transfer that sound or how to get it?
    Probably needs an upcoming update FCPX?
    Edit: Now when I would like to export in QTP to YouTube I do not get the slow-motion either, it's just like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkk1DfTcgn0

  • Best workflow for slow motion from Canon 7D?

    Hey guys,
    I am working with a slow motion clip for the first time and I am realizing that there isn't really an easy workflow with this. First of all, the clip was filmed with the Canon 7D, 60 fps. When I put in on the timeline, obviously I get rid of the audio. But then if I slow it down to 50% I get the typical frame blending crappy looking image that FCP gives me EVEN THOUGH the sequence settings are set to playing 30fps. In reality, I thought that when I import the clip in the timeline with those settings the clip would automatically be double-length... Stupid me. It's treating the clip like a normal regular clip and so when I slow it down it does the same thing it does with all clips - a terrible job at slow motion. So basically, at 50% it should be playing every frame and there should be no frame blending but apparently that's not the case.
    So.. What's the best way to work with this? I tried putting the clip on a separate sequence and then slowing it down which did a much better job but then I had to export the clip out of FCP and bring it back in as a "new slow motion" clip if I wanted to preserve the effect. What happens if I have more than one clip? Is there a way to do "batch export" on all of them at once and not just one clip at a time? What's the fastest and best way to work with a 60fps clip in FCP and mix it in with the rest of my clips which are 30fps without it looking like crap?
    I also just found out about Optical Flow in Motion and that's great but wow... the render time is many many hours for a 5 minute clip... that's crazy. I don't have that kind of time.
    So... Please help! Thanks guys!

    Step 1: Convert to ProRes.  Log and Transfer, MPEG STREAMCLIP, Magic Bullet Grinder...whatever.  Make it ProRes.
    Step 2: Duplicate the clip if you want to also have it normal speed, because Step 3 is not undoable.
    Step 3: Take into Cinema Tools and CONFORM to the frame rate you want.  29.97, 23.98...whatever the rest of the project is.  This conform is permanent. It takes seconds, but is undoable.  Thus what you did in Step 2.

    SMOOTH SLOW MOTION FROM 60P USING CINEMA TOOLS

  • Smooth Slow Motion from 50 fps Clip in 50 fps Timeline

    If I want 50% smooth slow motion from a 50 FPS video clip, I would normally ask PP to interpret that clip as 25 FPS - that works great.
    If however I import the 50 FPS video clip and interprett it as 50 FPS, I would have to set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% to get the same level of slow motion.
    The question is - when I follow the latter method, does PP create new frames for the slow motion or is it clever enough to use all the frames from the original 50 FPS video clip? to put it another away, does PP always generate NEW frames for slow motion or does it try to use the frames we are attempting to ignore?
    I've done some basic tests and so far I can't see any real difference between the two methods. This leads me to beleive PP is effectively using all of the original 50 frames when the 50 fps video clip is imported into a 50 fps timeline and then slowed down in the timeline by 50%. - if this is the case, well done PP!!! If this is not the case, then it would be a welcomed enhancement in future releases.
    I guess what you are all wondering is why would I want to import a 50 fps video clip into a 50 fps timeline and then slow it down in the timeline - well, as a wedding Videographer, it is simply because some parts of the video need to be in slow motion and other parts like messages and speeches need to be interpreted at normal speed. If playback in the timeline is at normal speed, i find it simpler to slow down the "Walking Down the Isle" clips rather than having to speed up the speeaches and messages.
    In short, when importing 50 fps video for smooth slow motion, are both the following methods equally effective in terms of smooth motion?
    Method 1: Import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline
    Method 2: import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline and set the speed of the video clip in the timeline to 50% - I'm assuming PP does not generate new frames and gets them from the original 50 fps file instead..
    To put it another way, does PP ALWAYS attempt to generate new fromes when slowing down video in the timeline? When extra frames are available in the original video file, does PP try to get the extra frames from that file instead of generating new ones?

    I recorded 2 video clips of the same scene. The camera was panning from right to left.
    First video clip - recorded at 25 fps
    second video clip - recorded at 50 fps
    Both video clips recorded at the same panning speed of the same scene.
    1. If I import the 25 fps video into 25 fps timeline and slow it down by 50%, the exported video looks jerky.
    2. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 25 fps timeline, the exported video looks smooth motion.
    3. If I import the 50 fps video clip into 50 fps timeline, slow it down in the timeline by 50%, and export the video as 25 fps then the result is still smooth motion.
    I've only done the experiment once and may have to repeat to be absolutely sure.

  • Imported Video Plays in Slow Motion...why?

    Hey Guys I hope you can help:
    I set up a project with the following properties:
    Sequence Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ)
    Capture Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) Varicam
    Device Control Preset: AJA IoHD 720p 23.98 Sony VTR
    Once this is set up I import a video clip with the following properties:
    Vid Rate: 23.98 fps
    Frame Size: 1280 x 720
    Compressor: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
    Data Rate: 11.2 MB/sec
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    After I import the file, I drag it to the preview window and play it....the sound plays normally, but the video itself is playing in slow motion....THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Can any of you shed any light on this???
    I drag the file to the timelime (get no messages from the system) and play it from the timeline with the same results.

    Perhaps, tell us your system and your source footage is.
    When you have it in the timeline, is there a fine line on the top of the timeline window? Red ,Green, or orange? Try and render it if you do.

  • Slow motion lost after sync from mac to iphone

    Hi,
    I can capture videos in slow motion but those videos play at normal speed once Sync them via iTunes.
    1. Capture videos in slow motion.
    2. The videos first play in slow motion in the iPhone. There is a time line slider to move the slo-mo effect back and forth.
    3. I do a back-up via iTunes including videos.
    4. After syncing, the videos in the iPhone appear in one album called "Slo-Mo".
    5. In the thumbnail of the video clip I can see the small dial icon that all other slow motion videos have.
    6. Playing the video shows a normal speed clip without the timeline slider under the video frames view.
    The videos DO retain the slo-mo "effect" in Aperture and iPhoto also. Not in the iPhone after syncing.
    Any hints to solve this?  thanks

    iPhone 6 iOS8

    Hi,
    iOS 8.1 didn't fix the issue so here is my workaround to " show-off " my slow motion clips:
    I have tried to open the clips with iMovie in the iPhone.  ( I guess not everyone has iMovie installed...?)
    So, you can create a new project in iOS iMovie and import the clip you want. Slow motion clips preserve the little dial icon so you can see which ones have the slo-mo effect. It will preserve the slow-motion sections of the original clip and will play "slow".
    If for some magical reason your clip doesn't play "slow" in iOS iMovie click on the small "tachometer" icon and select the desired speed.
    So. iMovie does know the clip has enough frames to play in slow motion... why the camera app doesn't ?
    good luck,
    jp

  • How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

    My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously.  I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long.  I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks
