Making video start fast and slow down?

I am trying to avoid doing this in FCP because I know speed changed video can be jumpy...
Basically I have video that pans and I want to start fast, lets say 600% speed and slow down just at the end to 100%.
I know that in motion it doesn't work with percentages, so how's the best way to go about this. I tried variable speed, but It starts slow then speeds up...
Also, I would like to add a motion blur, is this achieved with activating motion blur in the render tab?
Thanks

Well, I had a bunch of videos that I overlaid with mattes to make it look like one continuous video... But the resulting video was 30 seconds and I needed it to be 5 seconds..
So I exported a QT movie and re-imported it into Motion. Then I just went to the Timing property and changed the speed to variable. This gave me a key frame at the beginning and end of the clip. So I just dragged the keyframe at the end to 150th frame (for 5 seconds).
But since I wanted to slow down the video just a tad at various points, I added a key frame to each area I wanted to slow. I then went into the Keyframe editor and made the interpolation to bezier, then just rotated the bezier to be horizontal. This slowed the video just a tad in each part.
I also changed the frame blending to motion blur blending.
Pretty straight forward once I got the hang of it.

Updates from HP agent ... always runs at start up and slows down computer

HP Pavilion a1222n, Win XP Home
When we first turn on the computer it is slowed down by "Updates from HP agent running" checked through the task manager.
I would like to disable the automatic running of this and run it when I want to run HP Updates. I read in another post to go to the Start > All programs> setting > select never which would allow you to chose when to run the HP update agent. I can not seem to find it on this machine, the post I read was for another model.
Thanks

Hi Ron,
Try the following.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box, type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and remove the tick next to the HP Update agent. Click Apply and Ok to save the change and then restart the PC for this change to take effect.

Slow to start up and shut down

Hi.
I have updated MacBook Pro from 2.16 GHz with OS 10.4.11.
The old one started up and shut down very fast. Now my new 2.4 GHz one starts up very slow.
I see the gray screen forever till finally see my desktop. It happens even I installed the OS on a cleaned HD.
Cleared all the cache, there is no log in items.
Reseted the PRAM.
No problem with Disk permissions.
Both 1GB memories are recognized.
I did everything I could think of.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong ?
I would be much appreciated if any one know !
Thank you.

22 sec startup
Definitely an improvement over our old IBM AS/400 mainframe that once took six (6) hours to start up after a bad shutdown....

Start up and shut down is slow after erasing free space using disk utility?

I went to Disk Utility, clicked Erase, and then "Erase Free Space." When I saw that it was going to take 1 hour and 30 minutes, I tried closing disk utility. It wouldn't let me exit, so instead I pressed "Skip." But when you hover over the "Skip" button it says, "Erase all data and reformat the disk."
I'm wondering if the fact that I pressed the skip button has anything to do with my computer shutting down/starting up A LOT slower now. If so, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

Just wanted to give an update. I called Apple and apparently, you shouldn't empty the free space using disk utility while you're logged in. I had to insert the Installations CD and press the "C" button while my computer restarted, and used Disk Utility from there. My start up and shut down speed still isn't exactly the way it was before, but this definitely made a difference.
Thank you to those who replied to my question!

Slow start up and shut down

Dear mac users,
I know this might be normal for every Mac or PC,
my PB is 6 months old, and it's start up and shut down time is kind of slower than before, can anyone kindly tell me the reason about this please??
Thanks^^

Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes repair thread.
Doing the things in his link is a good start for a monthly maintenance program.
Do everything in the link and let us know.
Cheers!

Do you want free or do you want the best, your original post said best, now you are saying free. This is a contraction, there is no such thing as best free. There is such a thing as free and such a thing as best.
Also is your focus video or photos?????

Slower on start up and shut down...normal?

Since upgrading my MacBook Pro seems to be slower on start up and shut down. Is this normal with Mountain Lion?

I am experiencing the same problem too...Anybody who can help us? Thanks!

My browser takes minutes to open then when the tab is fully loaded it will start saying "Connecting" and slow down or freeze.

When I open my browser, it takes 3-5 minutes to fully open. When I get to a website, randomly the tab will say 'Connecting' and slow down and take 10-15 minutes to function or freeze completely. This almost always happens on sites that require Flash Player use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Flash several times. I've added memory, as someone suggested it was a memory issue. It's so frustrating, please help!

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Slow start up and shut down after Zenworks installation

I hope someone can help me out on this one. Not sure if I am posting the
right forum or not but here we go. After I installed Zenworks on our PC's
here at work, we have a noticed a distinct difference in how long it takes
for the PC's to start up and shut down. Before installation, everything
was very quick, like it should be. Now it seems to take some users 3-5
minutes to start and shut down their PC's. The machines are running
several different OS'es. Windows 98SE, Windows XP Pro SP1 and Windows XP
SP2. No one OS has more problems than the other. Has anyone heard of
Zenworks causing this issue or heard of a way to prevent this? I would
really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!

G4 MDD FW800 starts up and shuts down after several seconds

Hi all,
My G4 MDD FW800 DP.1,48 starts up and shuts down after about 20 seconds. I Have reset PMU and checked battery voltage, witch was OK. (also had it out for 30 minutes with no power connected etc.) I have video and also tried with NOTHING connected. But still it just powers down and failes to enter start up procedure.
Last time I had it running I pulled my iPod, beacause the computer did't see it, the next thing I saw on screen was the message to hold the power button for 5 to restart, after that I got the problem described above.
Anybody?
Thanks,
G4 MDD FW800 DP1,48 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Wheel of doom spinning before I can log into the pro. Never happened before. The wheel spun a lot when i was using it yesterday and slowed down usage

wheel of doom spinning before I can log into the pro. So signing in was a panic attack in itself.
Never happened before.
The wheel has started to show up spun a lot when i was using it yesterday and slowed down general usage.
what is happening to the mac and what can I do to bring it back to life (before the rainbow wheel of doom)

If this has started happening suddenly without your having made any changes to your configuration, the it's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test.

Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

Lion stalling and slowing down

Dead LION
Two-three months ago I upgraded to Lion (10.7.4)
The Lion discriminates a lot of applications
I should never have done that. Waste of money and especially a waste of my time.
There are NO essential news in Lion. It's just a monymaker for Apple
A bunch of applications does not work in Lion, while they been working fine in Snowleopard.
I could not delete the Lion and re-install SnowLeopard. (With out deleting all my datas).
I had to install SnowLeopard on a seperate external harddrive and now have to organize and disintegrate my else integrated work on two harddrives.
What a f'''''' bore. And absolute no thanks to Apple.
The Lion is stalling and slowing down, quits applications etc.
Since I installed the Lion on my computer (MacBook Pro 2 Ghz Intel core i7. 4 GB 1333 Hz DDR3)
is has been slowing down, in general and especially my browsers (Safari 5.1.7) (Google Chrome 13.0782.215) (Firefox 13.0.1). And Mail (5.2).
The OS quits applications, especially Mail and Safari.
The OS makes applications ever so often go in no-answer mode . Then I have to forcefully end them and start all over.
For speed and comfort I am back to 1991 Apple LC with 2 MB RAM. And no, the comfort was better then.
I have repaired disk with the OS own disktool.
I have reparied permissions again and again.
I have scanned for all problems and virus (MacKeeper).
I have rebooted and set the parametres to zero.
All applications are updated
Nothing helps.
I hope some of you friendly users or nerds can help. Thank you.

Sounds like a failed HD. Get another HD, install it, reinstall the OS, upgrade to Lion, and then restore the TM backup.

Can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

can the wireless card in my mac wear out and slow down internet connection??

Yes the WiFi card can wear out but not what you would really call wearing out like a pair of pants do. It can start to fail causing the connection between your computer and your Wifi router to slow down, IE transmit and receive less data in a given time period. And then it will fail completely.
But as to your internet connection being affected by a failing WiFi card no that can't happen.
If you turn the WiFi off and connect the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable does your internet browsing and downloading speed increase? If it does then there may be something wrong with the WiFi card in your computer or the WiFi section of your router. Hard to say which.
If after connecting the computer to your router with an Ethernet cable and your speeds do not increase then it is a problem with the router or on your ISPs end.

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying.

My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying. Is it fixable??????

I have the same problem. Often, the songs worked perfectly fine before, even the previous day! Changing the format does not help either, nor does restoring iPod settings. In another case, a song WILL work after settings are restored, but after a few plays will return to its old state of making the ipod reset.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
