Movie plays vary fast

In the event library the movie plays at the correct speed. Adding to the Project library, the movie, 18.13 minutes plays in about 10 seconds. This is the first time this has happened to me.
MacBook Pro 2.2 and 10.6.2.

Hi.
Best thing to do is to set Imovie'08's movie format to NTSC, even though the TV standard in the UK is PAL.
But since you work ith non intelaced footaged, this will just change the frame rate iMovie works with to 30fps (29.97 exactly) instead of 25.
Since all Xactis shoot at 29.97 or 59.94, this setting is much better for them.
And it totally eliminated any choppiness effect for me.
Beware though: changing the PAL/NTSC setting of iMovie from PAL to NTSC made very strange results in edited movies (offset edits) when iMovie came out. I do not know if this has been corrected in the latest 7.1.1 version.
But you can always go back to your previous PAL setting and this eliminates all side effects, so there is no real downside trying.
I also have an HD1000 now and have had no problem with 60fps footage- and I now know how to output from iMovie at 60fps
Not sure if this has to do with it, but I do not use iMovie's import feature:
I create a folder for the new event in the ~/Movies/iMovie Events/, copy the .mp4s from the HD1000 to it, and then launch iMovie. IMovie then creates thumbnails and everything.
Hope this helps.
I miss the good old times of miniDV, when everything just worked!

Exported movie plays back fast

Hi all, new poster on the apple discusions forum but wondered if anybody out there could help me.
I created my first movie from iMovie last night, the footage is HD from A Sanyo Xacti 1000 camera (had problems getting the footage in the night before but thanks to these boards found a solution)
Anyway cut a quick movie exported to AppleTV, created my m4v file, played back on ATV and the video footage appears to be running fast, almost like it's dropping frames but smooth. Audio was fine too... Anyone got any bright ideas?
Thanks tim

Movie Clip playing very fast

Hi guys,
I have a problem with my loaded movie clip, its playing very fast than its suppose to, (using loadMovie) I've tried to adjust the frame rate of the main file and the movie file, but still the problem occurs.... any suggestion on fixing this??

If both movies do not have the same frame rate, then they need to be the same.

50 fps is play to fast on time line , PLEASE HELP EMERGEANCY

Hi.
We has shooted yesterday on RED in 3K 50fps(slow motion)
When i play QT rpoxy files, its OK, but when i do Log&Transfer RED files in FC and then put them on timeline they play very fast! The FCP creat automaticly project with 25fps.I tryed to convert with REDRushes to ProRes422 files. And get same result.They play Ok in QuickTime but play fast on timeline when i drag them.Just one differece is- Proxy files dont play on time line(i get red line,- need to render),but converted qt files(ProRes) play with no prob on timeline(but very fast)
Ok, Of course i can do render proxy files in FC(Need Render),but he need 24hours for it.Bu i have not much time
What shoud i do?!!
Please help!
Thank you!

Call your local user's group and see if someone with a much faster computer will come to your help. I don't think you can move forward until you render. Once rendered you should be able to change the speed of the clip to anything you want or need (modify - change speed - etc.). I hope someone who knows more than me responds, but that's all I can think of.
Goog luck,

Captured video plays back fast (sped up) in Final Cut Express 4

I had a Panasonic mini-dv digital camera that was stolen and it worked great with FCE. I purchased a JVC GR-D870 (mini-dv) as a replacement and now in FCE when I capture video it plays back fast in the Viewer and if I open the .mov file in Quicktime. Note that the video plays back at the correct speed when played from the camera, and when the video is being captured. I've tried changing my Easy Setup, but nothing has helped much. I'm currently using the DV-NTSC FireWire Basic setting, though it doesn't matter which one I chose. I did try using the 25.00 fps DV-PAL setting and interestingly it will capture for about 2 seconds and then crash, but the 2 second clip I'm left with seems to playback at the normal speed. This is an NTSC camera so not sure how to get the video that I capture to play at the correct speed (frame rate?). Any help would be most appreciated.

Never heard this one before!
I have no idea why it is playing back fast, but if you have an NTSC camera you must use an NTSC Easy Setup.
When FCE behaves strangely the first thing to try is to delete the preferences as described here:-

AVI Plays to Fast in Premiere Pro CS4

I have an .AVI file that when it's imported into Premiere it plays much faster than the audio. Strangely Windows Media Player plays the file without any issues. In fact every player I have plays the movie with no problems, it's just Premiere that can't handle it properly. I've tried changing the presets, updating the codecs (K-lite), saving in different formats, checking play speeds, and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Filmed with a Toshiba S20, intel h.264 codec

>updating the codecs (K-lite),
That could be a very BAD thing, since installing that codec pack has been known to cause many problems
You need to find the exact codec inside that file, and find/install only that codec
What CODEC is INSIDE that file? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0

This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

FCP 4: NTSC monitor image FROZEN/movie plays JITTERY in canvas window.

Hey guys. This started yesterday. Every time I hit play, the image from the frame I began playing at on the timeline remains frozen on my NTSC monitor, while the movie plays jittery, roughly, totally unsmoothly in the canvas window. I'm pretty sure I've tried all of Shane's answers, but right now I'm stuck. Any help is immensely appreciated.
PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Shane's stock answers addresses this, but make sure
that under the View mene that you are set to "All
Frames" and not "Single Frame"
Yeah, I had that covered from the beginning, but this sucker is stuck on whatever frame I begin to play from.

Movies playing in iTunes will not show closed captions

I have purchased several movies from the iTunes store. They all have Closed Captioning listed in the store description. I need Closed Captioning because I have hearing loss and even with my hearing aids, I cannot hear all the dialogue in movies.
In my iTunes app, I opened Preferences-->Playback and checked the box for "Show closed captioning when available." Then I play the movie in iTunes. No captions. I click on the Controls menu for Audio & Subtitles. It's grayed out.
I go to the .m4v file in Finder and open the movie with Quicktime to see whether I can get captions that way. No captions. I check the View menu for Show Closed Captioning. It's grayed out.
At this point I'm thinking these movies do not really HAVE captions, despite what the store description said. However, this proves to be wrong because I turn on my TV and start up my Apple TV 3. I select "Movies" and then "Purchased" and find these movies. When I play these movies via the Apple TV, they all show up on the TV screen with the captions working perfectly.
So, what gives? I've spent hours searching the internet for a solution, but all I can find is that the selection I've made in iTunes preferences *should* make the captions show up in iTunes. I'm stumped. I want to play the movies on my computer in iTunes (or in Quicktime) so that I don't have to be at my house in front of my TV in order the enjoy them. Is there any way I can make these movies play in iTunes with the captions showing? Can anyone make any suggestions? I'd be very grateful if someone could help me achieve this goal.

I have same problem with my son's iPod Touch running iOS 5.1.1. I set "explicit" to off, but then many songs we purchased on iTunes that are labeled as "clean" do not show up on his iPod Touch. If I set "explicit" to on, they do show up.

How do I use airplay to stream a DVD movie playing in my computer to display on my TV?

How do I use airplay to stream a DVD movie playing in my computer to display on my TV?
I have a 2nd generation Apple TV and computer is a 2011 Macbook Pro. Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7. Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB. Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Storage: about 500GB free out of 750GB.
I have a DVD player within my computer. Trying to play a movie from my computer to display onto my TV using my Apple TV airplay. But the airplay icon is not showing or giving the option to play a movie onto my TV.
I've installed all software updates and still I'm not able to have this functionality.
I assume this functionality exists where I can play a DVD on my computer, but watch it on my TV using my Apple TV, correct?
Thanks for your help solving this puzzle.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
You may find a third party product that you can use instead of AirPlay.

Mirror zoomed-in movie playing on iPod Touch 5g to Apple TV via Airplay?

Is it possible to mirror a zoomed-in movie (1080p) playing on my iPod Touch 5g to the 3rd gen Apple TV via Airplay?
My Soniq TV doesn't have a zoom feature and I know that Apple TV can't zoom.
I want the movie to fill the entire screen of my TV (I don't mind cropping some of the edges off). I can zoom in on the movie playing on my iPod Touch 5g but when I enable airplay mirroring to the Apple TV, it reverts to the 1080p format with black bands along the top and bottom. I know it is using airplay and not mirroring to play the video on the Apple TV but I want to display exactly what's showing on my iPod Touch 5g on the Apple TV. Is there a work-around or an app in the App Store that enables this?

HT203175 Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, The movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Any ideas on a cure?

Reloaded Itunes on an XP machine. Reloaded because Itunes would not open. Now when I play a movie that is in my library, the movie plays for aprx. 60 seconds and then reverts back to my Itunes library. Does it with all movies in the library, Most where downloaded from Itunes. Any ideas on a cure?

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

Quit the app and restart the iPad.
In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Try the videos app again.
