Motion effect bad linking

here is the problem. in my sequence, a day or so after cutting with it, any motion effect i use to slow down a clip comes back as the entire master clip sped up as fast as can be. so instead of having my cut-in slow mo clip, i have the same size clip, only the entire master clip sped up to fit. its the same on all the old duplicate sequences as well. never seen this before, not sure what to do. any help is appreciated. dh

goto sequence settings and set the field dominance to none. Maybe you won't have to do that.

Any way to make Motion Effect work in CS3?

I had some problems with animated motion effects in CS2, but now they seem to be even worse in CS3... Along with all the other CS3 problems I've encountered, I'm considering going back to CS2 - but I thought I'd try here first...
With an interlaced video project (NTSC SD) anything (title, photo, or video) that is put in motion using keyframes for the built-in Motion Effect comes out VERY bad.
I tried a test with a clip that is only three frames long, consisting of white box approx. 100x100 pixels (made via Titler) and starting at frame 0, offset horizontally by 360 and at the 3rd frame (frame 2) offset horizontally by 380. (20 pixel shift)
FIRST PROBLEM: Look at the frame 0 and frame 1 in the program monitor at 100%. Now try any other magnification - completely different results!!
SECOND PROBLEM: To export these three frames, I have to set the work area bar to include FOUR frames, because if I animate motion of a clip and then export, the last frame is SOMETIMES not included in the output file. If you're playing along, output five frames just to be sure.
THIRD PROBLEM: Open the clip in Photoshop. (The only application in CS3 that appears to work correctly.) At first glance, frame one appears to be interlaced because of the motion. But it's not. The second field is nowhere near where it should be in time relative to the movement. If you use an actual photo instead of a white box, you can see how badly it's mangled. (Not just fields in wrong position, but badly mangled.)
FOURTH PROBLEM: Frame 1 and 2 (the 2nd and third frame) are also badly mangled.
FIFTH PROBLEM: The fourth frame (frame 3) consists of the the final resting place of the object - BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE AT ALL! (The 4th frame is blank.)
I know, I know, long rant... I'm just getting so fed up with all of the problems with CS3...
Anyway, are there other alternatives that will work on interlaced video??? (For now, I had to create a different project that was progressive, and render to a temp file to import into the interleaved project. It looks better, but not nearly as smooth of motion as it should be.)

Please provide
these details to help us help you.

Portfolios, bad links & splash screens

(using acrobat 9 pro, XP, firefox) A bad internal link (page, document or folder) within a portfolio often results in the splash screen "For the best experience update your Acrobat Reader..." or words to that effect. I need to prevent this and provide for one or all of the following alternatives when hitting a bad link:
1. redirect to another page (without a splash screen, of course);
2. do nothing.
(better yet, if it can inform me by email of the bad-link and its location along with the above alternatives)
In any case, I do not wish to show the built in splash screen either during portfolio editing or when viewed online. Entirely unacceptable. Any thoughts/methods to remove this annoyance?
(sorry if this should be posted to another forum. please inform me if there is a better place to ask this type of ?) - thank you.

It is obviously a bug. But if there is an internal bad link, the problem is with the document. Acrobat/Reader is just not handling the corrupted pdf file gracefully. The best you can do is ask Adobe to fix the problem:

Slow motion/fast motion effect

Hi guys
I'm making my first music video for a song I made. It'll be my first time learning and using a video production software, and I'm not sure if iMovie will be able to handle these type of effects or if I should invest in Final Cut Pro X instead.
Basically I want this type: https://youtu.be/BYbJmQj5VkE?t=50s
Where I can speed up the pace of the video faster than it's normal speed. Is iMovie capable of doing this? Would I also be able to do the opposite whereas I could slow down a video less than it's normal speed? slow motion I'm sure it's called.
Please let me know, Thank You.

iMovie can speed up or slow-down video, read the Manual:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/?lang=en#/mov6c442b2eb
For sure, you can not adjust precisely as you can do in FCPX ...

High ambitiions, but: why not?
You do know, that the effect you linked to, asks for a special way how you record teh scene?
The clip is speed-up, but singer is lip-sync - that is not done by software/post-production!
While recording, you need a slowed-down version of your music, and the singer has to 'sing' to THAT sloooow version - which looks (and sounds) incredible silly on set
Then, in the edit-room, the video gets accelerated to 'normal', which makes the background moving faster........
Here comes FCPX into the game: there you just drag'n-squeeze the re-timed clips to make it fit to music - done.
iMovie is limited to a few setting.
Hint: Make some tests in the backyard, before you try the Big Thing!
fingers-crossed, happy movie making!

Fast motion effect

I am wondering how to make fast motion effect. The idea is to make from long video appr. 40 min (it is processing of printinting on 3d printer) short video. But it should be visible how it "grow" layer by layer.I tried already normal fast forward. Looks bad. Is it even possible? The camera was stable on one place, so now i need just to make video faster.
I hope you understand, what I mean

I want to show how it grow fast layer by layer, but it look like pause and after its bigger for few cm. The process is not that obvious. I want to make it like in documental movie like "how it work" or "how it was made".

Motion Effect doesn't always work with Time Remapped clips

Hello all. I used Premiere 4 extensively (yes, '4' not 'CS4') and I'm just getting back in to it with CS6. Lots of cool new stuff to learn but I'm happy to see the basics are pretty much the same!
I'm wondering if anyone has much experience using motion effects on time-remapped clips. If I set 'position' or 'scale' keyframes in the Effect Controls, the changes are not always reflected in the program monitor, depending on the clip. If I try and set keyframes by dragging the video around the program monitor, it puts keyframes in places where I don't expect.
This doesn't affect all time-remapped clips, just some of them. Or maybe it does affect them all, just to varying degrees, depending on how extreme the time remapping is. I'm guessing now.
If I were to speculate further, I would say that the motion effect is operating on the clip before the time remapping gets applied. Again, just a guess, which is why I'm asking if someone more knowledgable has any insights before I pursue this much further..
Many thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your response! Nested clips, you say? I have heard of these things but I can only imagine what they are and how to use them. Sounds like it's time for me to RTFM!
There's so much new stuff, it doesn't surprise me that I have to not only figure out the new feature, but the proper workflow to utilize it. I gotta ask: Do you know of any documents along the lines of "how to use modern premiere from the perspective of an antiquated premiere professional"? 4.2 was my bread and butter for many years and I knew it like the back of my hand. As such, it's kind of hard to stay awake sifting through Adobe's docs which generally assume no prior knowledge; although you giving me a place to start is a big help! But like I said: I gotta ask because it'd be great if there was something just for 'people like me.' (ain't it always the case? )
Again, thank you.

Editing stills with motion effects, performance questions.

I am editing a video in FCE that consists solely of still photos.
I am creating motion effects (pans and pullbacks, etc) and dissolve
transitions, and overlaying titles. It will be played back on dvd
on a 16:9 monitor (standard dvd,not blueray hi-def). Some questions:
What is the FCE best setup to use for best image quality: DV-NTSC?
DV-NTSC Anamorphic? or is it HDV-1080i or 720p30 even though it
won't be played back as hi-def?
How do best avoid squiggly line problem with pan moves etc?
On my G-5, 2gb RAM, single processor machine I seem to be having
performance problems with playback: slow to render, dropping frames, etc
Thanks for any help!

Excellent summary MacDLS, thanks for the contribution.
A lot of the photos I've taken on my camera are 3072 X 2304 (resolution 314) .jpegs.
I've heard it said that jpegs aren't the best format for Motion, since they're a compressed format.
If you're happy with the jpegs, Motion will be, too.
My typical project could either be 1280 X 720 or SD. I like the photo to be a lot bigger than the
canvas size, so I have room to do crops and grows, and the like. Is there a maximum dimension
that I should be working with?
Yes and no. Your originals are 7,000,000 pixels. Your video working space only displays about 950,000 pixels at any single instant.
At that project size, your stills are almost 700% larger than the frame. This will tax any system as you add more stills. 150% is more realistic in terms of processing overhead and I try to only import HUGE images that I know are going to be tightly cropped by zooming in. You need to understand that an 1300x800 section of your original is as far as you can zoom in , the pixels will be 100% in size. If you zoom in further, all you get are bigger pixels. The trade off you make is that if you zoom way out on your source image, you've thrown away 75% of its content to scale it to fit the video format; you lose much much more if you go to SD.
Finally, the manual says that d.p.i doesn't matter in Motion, so does this mean that it's worth
actually exporting my 300 dpi photos to 72 dpi before working with them in Motion?
Don't confuse DPI with resolution. Your video screen will only show about 900,000 pixels in HD and about 350,000 pixels in SD totally regardless of how many pixels there are in your original.

Can you Turn on the Ken Burns Motion Effect in IDVD?

I see several transition effects in iDVD, but I don't see the Ken Burns Pan Motion effect as seen in iPhoto. This effect makes a slide show almost look like a video. Great stuff. Is there a way to select Ken Burns Motion effect if you created a slide show in iDVD?
I can create a slide show in iPhoto with the Ken Burn effect and share it with iDVD. When I do this, it creates a new project in iDVD. If I have several slide shows in iPhoto and send them to iDVD, they create their separate projects. Is there a way to combine separate projects in iDVD. I've looked around the Forum and can't seem to find an answer. Thanks for your help to a new beginner.
HJCW

You have to select each album and click on the PLAY button. This brings up a dialogue with all the settings. You don't actually have to play the slideshow, just click on "Save Settings".
I've since found out that you can shift-select multiple albums at and change their settings in one go. Wish I'd worked that one out before!
Like I said before: a central preferences setting for base slideshow settings would be nice!

Slow motion looking bad

I have tried to slow a video clip down to 30% speed. It looks smooth when played back in FCE, but when exported to a QT movie, it becomes jerky with brief stuttering of frames.
I have tried the techniques described in other posts but nothing seems to work. First, I tried it with just frame blending. Then I superimposed a copy of the clip, and used the de-interlace/flicker filters without frame blending.
The original footage was shot on Super-8 film, transferred to DVD, and converted to DV.
Any suggestions as to how to make the slowed clip play smooth after exporting would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the Toltzman solution ? It works only for 50% slow down, but it seems to work better than the standard Speed command. Let me quote it from an old post:
"When you slow down a clip in FCP/FCE, the application does not use the 60 (or 50 in PAL) fields/second of interlaced video, which can help to achieve very smooth 50% speed video.
Here is a recipe for converting your 60/50 fields per second in to 60/50 frames per second for a nice, smooth slow motion effect at 50% speed.
Slow motion in FCE using both fields of Interlace video to get smoother slow motion at 50% (uses all 60 fields).
1) layer two copies of video in timeline over the top of each other.
2) apply a de-interlace (1) and blink (2) filter to the top copy and set the de-interlace to use the Upper field. Set the Blink filter to an on duration of 1 and an off duration of 1.
3) apply a de-interlace filter to the bottom copy and set it to Lower field.
4) Set the speed of each layer to 50% and turn OFF the frame blending.
The top layer and bottom layer should now be interleaved. The top layer will contain only the upper field (repeated across 2 frames) and the bottom layer will have the lower field (repeated across 2 frames). The Blink filter will switch back and forth between the layers to use all fields as frames.
If your field dominance is different than NTSC DV, then you'll have to reverse the de-interlace settings on each video layer
By Douglas Toltzman"
The result is that each single field (both upper and lower) is repeated twice, while with the standard Speed command only the upper field of each frame is repeated 4 times, and lower fields are discarded.

Slow motion effect

I was wondering how to get that slow motion effect that is so commonly used i music videos. I have a canon xha1 that shoots 60i and 50i. To achieve this effect do I do it all in FCP, or is a combination of having the fps high and then the sequence at 24. I could do it in FCP, but it doesn't look clean. If any body has anysuggestions, thankyou. peace. E.

Final Cut Pro can do slow motion with or without frame blending. In both instances you are creating duplicates of frames in order to create a slow motion effect. These look okay in video but with the effects you are talking about are done with large production values where the shots are done with slow mags where the film is running at a high rate of speed to get more frames in an action. There are cameras today that allow you to over and under crank footage but mainly they are tapeless formats where you are recording to hard drives, disks or cards.
you might want to investigate After Effects version 7 or later where it does time warping where individual pixels are blended rather than an entire frame like in Final Cut.

How to achieve the distort motion effect ala Final Cut Pro in Premiere CS4?

Newbie here.
I have just recently started with video editing. In Final Cut Pro I have the option to distort a still image in the motion/effects panel. In premiere cs4 I only find the option to scale it up/down without the option to individually distort the four corners. Does anyone know how this can be done in premiere cs4?
The effect i am going for is the same as in Apples presentation of iPad. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/specialevent0110/
I have an presentation wich I need to insert all the slides from the powerpoint presentation in the video.
Any help would be appreciated. ( I have searched around for an solution, but without results)
Regards T

Here is a resource, that deserves a bookmark, the PrPro-Wiki. Plenty of great FAQ articles and tutorials.
I see the "Distort" part of the Effect in FCP, but the "Motion" aspect was throwing me. I kept thinking Posterize Time, and that is anything but what you were looking for. That's why I was going to head to Google for the FCP Help files, or similar.
Good luck,
Hunt

Rollover effects on links not displaying correctly

Hi there,
I have added rollover effects to links on a website I am working on. However, some of them do not display properly when uploaded. Here is a link to the website:
http://www.southernprairierailway.com/
You will notice on the home page in the "News" column there is a "CLICK HERE to view our blog" link, but it is displaying in blue making it very hard to read. I have a class assigned to it so that it is the same color as the rest of the text in the column, but when you mouse over it changes to bold and underlined (which it does).
Also, on the history page, there is a link to the photo gallery and again, it is not displaying properly.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Links have five states: link, visited, hover, active, focus.
You need to define CSS rules for all of them.
In the absence of a:visited, you're seeing an unstyled, browser default a:visited link.
Try
#clickhere a:link, #clickhere a:visited {
font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 14px;
color: #E7E0D3;
#clickhere a:hover, #clickhere a:active, #clickhere a:focus {
font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Arial;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #E7E0D3;
text-decoration: underline;

Apply filters before motion effects?

I've some night time, timelapses in a programme. They're very beautiful, of the northern lights. Unfortunately they are covered in dead pixels. I have Boris Pixel Fixer installed though, so should be no problem! Unfortunately, there is a move applied to each timelapse, and the fixes for the dead pixel seem to apply AFTER the move, so the dead pixels drift away from the points. It's very annoying! Is there a way to reorder the stack of motion effects so the move is applied after filters? It seems like motion, opacity, etc can't be reordered, only user added effects. I could go in to the AE project the timelapse were made in, fix the dead pixels there, render out the timelpases, apply the Lumetri look file and the editors move again... But taht seems like a faff for what should be fixable. Any ideas?

It seems like motion, opacity, etc can't be reordered, only user added effects.
I had to wait until I was sitting in front of my machine to properly guide my comment. Yes, the nested tip from RoninEdits is good and Peru Bob is shooting straight,
Re-order your motion, opacity with your user added effects yes. Add the 'Transform' effect, but it is not found in the Transform effect drop-down list. The 'Transform' effect is found in the 'Distort' effect drop-down list.
In the effects panel, open Video Effects, then open Distort, then choose Transform.
With Transform you will see the 'fixed position' Motion effects, as well as a few others. Then you will be able to arrange in the stacking order as you wish.

Motion effects in effects panel gone

It seems like somehow the Motion effects in my effects panel have dissapeared.
Any one knows how to fix this? It's weird that it would even be possible to remove this function, since it's a frequently used tool.
I'm using Adobe Premiere CS5
Hope to hear from you guys...

I think i know what happend.
I clicked remove all effects on the timeline-clips.
But I still don't know the solution, any one?
When inserting a new clip, the motion button effect is back...
