MacBook in slow motion...

Hi, my MacBook is acting funny. When typing the words appear to be in slow motion. They lag way behind. I have restarted it but it still seems very slow. When I am done typing a sentence its usually about 5-6 words behind with each letter slowing appearing. What can it be? Thanks

I had this same problem. I thought at first it was the wireless disconnecting and reconnectings. Now I have a MacBook Air with the ectronic drives and what I found it would create a swap file with a delay of 5 seconds. I would type and the sytem would just stop.
I went in the terminal and typed this command
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
And its been fast from that point.

I have a 2008 macbook and want a version of iMovie that can do slow motion, which one and how?

I want to edit a short video for fun and the '08 version cant do slow motion. When i tried to get iMovie '11 or whatever it wouldnt let me because i don't have apple's newest laptops.
i'm not buying a new laptop. what do? any suggestions on video editing software? No, i don't want to spend money on this really... i just want to tinker around with short videos.
Thanks!

Quicktime plays video in slow motion

Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?

Slow motion problem

I'm using Shake's adaptive re-timing, but when I set the video to anything less than .5 speed (like .33, or .15) the rendered footage looks jerky and jitters back and forth when it interpolates the frames.
I don't think this could be due to the deinterlacing, because it's the same despite what I set the deinterlacing to.

Retiming techniques have their limits. You can get optimal results beetween 0 and 50 percent max (normal speed to half speed). After that limit, the software doesn't have enough informations to reconstruct the huge time gaps between two frames, especially if the footage represents a high speed movement.
Keep in mind that the retiming possibilities are for retiming, not for slow motion, there is no miracle at this point.
For slow motion videos, use high speed cameras. Most DVCproHD cameras have the ability to record at 60fps full frame, that's a good start.
For interlaced video, if you accept to loose image quality on the vertical resolution, the 25i format can be converted in a sort of 50p, that's not bad for low budget projects!

My i7 sandy bridge with optibay harddrive is running slow in diablo 3 in low setting. Before I can run ultra settings on Starcraft. It lags now even I run log in sc2!!! It gets slower and slower in game that is like slow motion!!! Computer gets hot.

Hi everyone, I been noticing my MacBook pro getting very slow in games like diablo 3 and Starcraft. This MacBook pro was bought a year ago. It is running i7 sandy bridge with a 128 Ssd. I did install optibay with a monetux xt hard drive in it.
It could run ultra setting on Starcraft no problem and is very smooth when I first got it. Lately I got diablo 3, and it gets very slow. I had to change all the graphics setting to low. It is not slow in the beginning, but it gets very slow after a while. It is like slow motion!!! Even when is low, it is still very laggy in game. I tried to repair the disk and clean up the laptop with onyx and still doing the same thing. I even try to reboot when is slow, but same thing after I reboot. I guess the MBP still hot.
Also I am running in lion!

If it's a 13" MBP you don't have the more powerful dedicated graphics and there is nothing you can do but be mad at Apple for deceiving you that the 13" MacBook Pro was capable of extreme graphics.
Only the 15" and 17" have the more powerful dedicated graphics in addition to the CPU graphics.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed "Slow Motion (commonly known as a form of lag)"

I have been attempting to run the game "Star Wars the Force Unleashed," on a 13-inch MacBook Pro Late 2011 with Intel Graphics HD 3000, 500 gb hard drive, 2.4 GHz processor speed, and 4 gig ram, and the game seems to be going in "slow motion (commonly known as a form of lag)." I have done my resurch and my sources have told me that I might have to turn off v-sync. I have not found a way to do this and I was wondering what might be a way of doing this, or is there anothers solution? Your contribution would be much appreciated.

Macbook pro with motion

Hi!
My MacBook Pro 2.8ghz/4GB is very slow in Motion when I try to make a slow motion -effect with optical flow mode. It also seems that the result is as bad as just slowing the speed down in fcp.
Is my computer too slow to work with Motion/slow motion/optical flow??

It also seems that the result is as bad as just slowing the speed down in fcp. < </div>
You'll need to explain what you mean by "bad." Most similar posts exhibit a naivety of the poster, expecting Optical Flow to create dramatic super slow motion when the original footage is not appropriate to the task.

Slow motion recording and playback with Flash Player with web browers

Hi,
I am using a MacBook, have installed Flash Player 10, and everything was great until a couple of days ago. Then, my audio playback with Flash seems to be in slow motion. I record my voice in this program call Voicethread using either Safari or Firefox and what it should be a 3 seconf audio track seems to be elongated to 9, streching my voice like it is on slow motion. I have tried everything that it is recommended (restaring, uninstallins, reinstalling, etc) and NOTHING... I have spent hours already trying to fix this issue that came from nowhere... 36 hours ago was working just perfectly!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Luis

Adobe Flash Player has also been crashing periodically on 2 of my computers, I'm still running XP, one of them a powerful HTPC, Dell Optiplex 755 SFF over a new Cable Internet Connection. Buffering, Lagging, crashing when streaming video for Catchup TV (Freeview) via Firefox Adobe Flash Player Add-On, does not happen on Youtube though. Lagging & Crashing does NOT occur AT ALL in Google Chrome, but I hate that browser.
Have tried the usual disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration + Protected Mode, setting storage to Unlimited, disabling FF Ad Blockers + Hardware Acceleration, cleaning Caches, updating program versions, everything bar reinstalling programs. It's not happening in Chrome, why in Firefox?

ITunes video begins to play in slow motion ...

When I watch movies or TV shows on Itunes, the playback is fine for about twenty minutes. Then the sound cuts out ... the video begins to play in slow motion ... then begins to reverse, frame-by-frame, then finally freezes altogether. I've got plenty of hard drive space. I'm using a MacBook. Any ideas?

Thank you for the reply. The podcasts i was referring to are audio only. I checked the video app and it is blank.
New information: The last day of podcast downloads that worked properly was 6/13. I was able to find the newer podcast downloads by searching the phone and they will play in the music player when selected in the search results. They still don't show up on the music player's list of podcasts and they won't play sequentially. It's like the music player refuses to acknowledge the existence of any podcast after 6/13.

Video streaming on my ipad runs in slow motion, is there a setting that i can check to fix this

I have an Ipad 3rd generation, i believe, and video has begun streaming in slow motion or constant start and stops. it is not the internet connection because my macbook streams fine as does my wife's ipad. i have updated my operating system each time a new version has become available. any suggestions?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Slow motion windows movement

Suddenly the windows movement on my macbook pro became slow motion. like when i scroll up and down in safari it is on slow motion! or mission control is loading on slow motion anyone can help? ram 16GB Hard 1Tb CPU Core i7 2.7

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Remove slow motion quicktime

When I open a video make with gopro a 120 fps under the timeline( in quicktime) there is a timeline for the slowmotion that show me automatically the video in slowmotion. I don't want this and i'd like to know how i can remove it.
Quicktime 10.4, Yosemite, macbook retina 13(2013)

I know this....but is like close the eyes to don't see the problem.....i need 120 fps.
Had hoped the original poster might provide additional information regarding why high frames rates were required in his or her workflow but not needed for their normal intended purpose of creating ultra smooth slow motion effects as such information might lead to better alternatives than those already provided. However, as three days have already passed, I thought it time to recap this issue for the benefit of other users who might be interested.
BACKGROUND: The basic problem seems to be the fact that the ability to record high speed frame rate video has become more and more common on various consumer recording devices. Originally used by professional and top of the line prosumer devices to provide slow motion sequences during editing, this capability is now available to the average home movie editing enthusiast using the current QT routines built into the latest Mac OS X v10.10 and IOS 8 software. Frankly, I am at a loss to understand why some users are opposed to having these features available to them at the QT X and mobile QT player level. For any persons not familiar with this feature, here are some captured screenshots:
Yosemite QT X Player
IOS 8 Photos App Player on iPhone 5s
As you can see in each of the images above, when the QT player software recognizes my 720p120 GoPro video file and automatically displays a secondary playback control bar below the standard controller. This controller allows a user to set "in" and "out" points for slow motion playback. In the case of the sample above, the movie begins playback at 120 fps, plays the middle segment at 30 fps, and then switches back to 120 fps for the final video segment. Thus, these players can be used to preview slow motion editing potential. By adjusting the position of the "in" and "out" markers, a user can play all, some, or none of the video clip play in slow motion. Such previews can even be shared as "proofs" with other Yosemite/IOS iCloud users but since they contain the original source data scripted with slow motion playback data/instructions, they are frequently too large for emailing as simple attachments to anyone else.
Such player content can even be saved as a mini QT Player "project"— i.e., saving the file copies the clip as currently edited to a new file container which is paired with an additional AAE (described by the Finder as a "Slow Motion Video Sidecar") file. The AAE file appears to be basically be a PLIST file containing "slow motion" playback data/instructions which I assume represents the embedded modifications to "shared" videos. Here is an image of such file content:
Sample AAE "Slow Motion Video Sidecar" File
It should be noted that these slow motion files apparently cannot be directly exported from the QT X v10.4 player app—or rather, I was not able to do so. (I.e., files exported normally but without any slow motion effects.) However, it is a relatively simple matter to "share" a "com.apple.AVKit.Share" file to the Mail app, drag it to the Desktop, and then re-encode the file as an M4V file suitable for many uses using the built-in system encoder. I.e., export result is a 30 fps file retaining both normal and relative slow motion playback segments. This is a handy, although less accurate, alternative to the use of professional or dedicated video editing software for the creation of slow motion clips to share with friends and family or distribute as "proofs" to clients. If you research the internet, you should be able to easily find several articles and forum topics complaining of the lack of such basic, built-in support for such clips over the past few years.
In any case, the QT X player can play the 120 fps files with or without applying any slow motion effect. Other players like QT 7, VLC, NicePlayer, etc. avoid this issue by simply ignoring the significance of such excessive frame rates and attempt to play the files at their original frame rate by dropping frames as needed to keep up with the data throughput. Therefore, I can't really attach much credence to the idea that the previously posted suggestions "is like close the eyes to don't see the problem" and that the "need" for 120 fps files here (without explanations) may be less of a "need" than indicated. As previously stated, the recording of content at 120 fps (or greater) is normally performed to comply with specific future editing requirements and its indiscriminate use is just a waste of file space and battery life for the average "videographer" who simply thinks that "faster is always better."
BASIC RULES OF THUMB FOR NON-PROFESSIONAL USERS:
Use high frame rate recording modes if you think there is even a remote possibility that you will be creating slow motion clips/segments from your recorded content AND you have sufficient storage media AND battery life to handle the project at hand.
Use the most current QT X or IOS 8 media players to quickly preview or share high frame rate clips with slow motion effects without having to access professional or dedicated video editing software.
Use the most current QT X or IOS 8 media players to create and save slow motion settings that can be recalled later.
Use a professional or dedicated video editing app to create and/or share slow motion project content where frame accuracy and/or fluxing is paramount.
Use an alternative media player to preview high frame rate clips when viewing content at its original frame rate AND it is too much trouble for you to adjust these players for non-slomo playback (i.e., a single swipe of a finger or clicked mouse). But remember that higher frame rates and higher resolutions mean higher playback data rates which may make playback "choppy" at best on some systems. (E.g., my 720p120 sample file has a data rate on the order of a VC-1 encoded Blu-ray disc.)
Hope this post may be of use to amateur videography Mac users contemplating the use of newer, high-speed video recording devices and how to use the basic support now available in the latest Mac OS X and IOS 8 operating systems as part of Apple's QT X modernization program.
Happy New Year to All,

Is it possible to my play my uploaded videos in slow motion?

Hello All,
I have the macbook pro and I am trying to figure out how to play my uploaded videos in slow motion.
I am using the quicktime player version 10.1 and I am only seeing the ability to playback, pause, play, enlarge screen and fast forward through my videos.
If it is not possilbe to get the videos to play in slow motion using quicktime, I would appreciate suggestions on software that I could get. Nothing complicated, I just really need that slow motion feature! Thank you!
-Trish

I have the macbook pro and I am trying to figure out how to play my uploaded videos in slow motion... I am using the quicktime player version 10.1 and I am only seeing the ability to playback, pause, play, enlarge screen and fast forward through my videos.
This capability is dependent on the media player. QT X.1 does not have either a slow or fast motion playback feature control. The closest you can get is holding down the right arrow key in which case the "slow motion" spped will be dependent on your computer's CPU power and the clip's frame rate.
If it is not possilbe to get the videos to play in slow motion using quicktime, I would appreciate suggestions on software that I could get. Nothing complicated, I just really need that slow motion feature!
The QT 7 Player (free) can play files with sound between 0.5 and 3.0 times normal speed. The VLC player (free) has a wider range of speed variations with sound but audio usually drops out at below 0.25 times normal playback speed. The TV player also has three slow speed (and fast speed) playback options but I don't know their exact speeds and it is without sound.

Macbook running slow

Hi,
A few people have asked this question, my macbook is running very slow and the mouse spinning circle comes up quite a lot. I am unsure of why it is doing this.
I have attached a copy of the EtreCheck I have done on my system.
Can you please have a look and see if you can see if there is anything wrong, as I am unsure of what I am looking at.
Thanks for your help

Either update or remove the Vodafone software and see whether there's an improvement.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Mid 2010 macbook pro slow to sleep. No print queu issues.

Hey everyone! My Mid 2010 macbook pro slow is slow to go to sleep. I have read several community forums and I've checked for old print jobs (which seems to be a common issue) and have found none. I've also reset all printers and jobs. Anyways, it takes 35 to 60 seconds to go sleep (until fan/harddrive turns off/I see blinking white light). This slow sleep occurs even with a complete fresh install of Mavericks, and even after installing a new SSD. I am honestly at a loss.
I did the "pmset -g log" command and I have found two reoccurring things that I think might be the reason (though I don't really understand it fully). I commonly see "TimedOut InternalPreventSleep "com.apple.powermanagement.darkwakelinger" 00:00:15" commonly and "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep "Address Book Source Sync" 00:00:30". I have bolded both of these below:
