My video keeps getting choppy (like slow motion)!!!!

Hey all,
Whenever I open a different application or try and text chat with another online buddy, the video chat on my side becomes very choppy, as if I am in slow motion. The person Im chatting with says that I later look blurry and pixelated. What should I do? Would downloading the 10.5.3 update fix my issues, or is it a RAM issue

It is also worth looking at the Activity Monitor and seeing how much CPU apps and functions are using.
Also have you set System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5Mbps ?
Restart iChat if you have to change this.

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.

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.

Movie is choppy in slow motion...

Hi there,
I'm using iMovie HD for movies from my Canon MiniDV Camcorder. Importing and cutting works fine, quality of movie/sound is ok.
After, I use iDVD to burn DVDs from my own movies, works fine too. My only problem: Slow Motion!
When applying slow motion to a piece of movie, it is very choppy. When burned to DVD and watching it on tv, still the same thing.
I'm using a G4 1700mhz, 1gb Ram. What could my problem be?
Thanks alot for any ideas!
-Lucas

Hi Lucas,
there's a simple technical reason: to get a smooth video, you need 25/30 frames per second, so does your camcorder record the video...
apply a slow-mo just doubles (triples...) the frames - in result, you have 12 or less fps... that is choppy...

Encoding video - keep getting error message when placing into indd?

Hi,
I have some video which I need to drop into an article, and I can't work out why I keep getting an error: Cannot preview the media: not connected to the Internet or the file is not on the server.
It 'places' but nothing shows up in the frame or when uploaded or previewed in the ACV. The media panel brings up the same error when the panel is opened. The overlay panel recognises it as a video though.
Which has me perplexed. I'm sure I've done this before. I'm using Adobe Media Encoder and using H264/mp4 format. I've tried various presets (iPad, iPhone etc) to no avail. And I can't find any reference to this error anywhere so if nothing else a reply on here might help other in the future.
Thanks in advance, as always,
Simon.

Tried restarting workstation and InDesign, reinstall the DPS tools (can't uninstall since I'm using CS6, so not sure how to do this really) to no avail.
I've done this recently on the same project but not sure why it's not working now. Other details if relevant Win 7, CS Master collection.
Getting a bit worried why I can't get this to work for a presentation tomorrow.
Simon.
EDIT: It looks like something to do with InDesign and not DPS necessarily. I get this message:
when opening the document.
Could it be related to the fact I bought a Quicktime Pro licence and set that as the default program (Win 7) to open .mp4 files? There is only an MP4 file in the InDesign document, no .flv files.

Does the duration of the video change after putting a slow motion effect?

Hi, I'm new with this After Effect software, and through researches and youtube videos, i learned how to make a slow motion clip, but i found a problem just after i was so happy to learn something new. Because I was so excited to try it out, i took a quick 3secs clip and edited it, after all the successful application of the slow motions, the clip suddenly stop without finishing the whole video, the duration of the clip remains 3 seconds after i applied the slow motion, i was hoping that the duration would go over 3 seconds because the slow motioned part was only at 5% the original speed.
So my question is, is the duration really supposed to stay the same after the slow motion is applied or should it expand finishing the whole video.? Then what should I do if the duration doesn't expand?
Pls give me a respond, thx.:))

Nah, that's just not how it works. AE will only extend layers if you use the native time-stretch/ time-remapping. If you use the Timewarp, you will have to pre-compose the source clip to a comp with longer duration and then apply the slow motion.

Premiere Pro CS5 - How to get a good Slow Motion

Hi all,
what's the best option to get a realy good Slow Motion in Premiere Pro CS5. We use an interlaced HDV Material (1080i).
We try change Speed Duration to 50%, mix frames and some other options (could only tell you the german description = "Flimmern vermindern" think it's "reduce flicker" in englisch) but we still get no good result. We are very spoiled of the slowmotion which our Avid System creates.
Any ideas, how we can do this in CS5 ? In CS4 there was also and Effect called Time Stretch which has done a good job.
I miss this effect in CS5.
Thanks for any Information.
Werner

I've treid the demo. Looks realy good.
Showstopper is the big price. Also when we trimm the clip on the timeline where we think this should be the scene which we want to slowmo, add the twixtro slowmo on it, then we got another trimmed result. for example: add a 50% slowmo, should doouble the lenght of the clip on the timeline. this is not happened. So we have to re-trimm the clip to get writgh scenen lenght.
Maybe we do something wrong. The plugin is realy great ! thanks for the tipp.

Satellite A105-S2031: DVD/CD plays to slow like slow motion

Hi, my A105 - S2031 has CD/DVD combo TS-L462C. If I play a CD or DVD, everyting is too slow like a slow motion.
Does anyone could help me how I can fix this? Or is this a mechanical error of the CD/DVD combo?
Thanks for anybody's help in advance, Michael

First of all we should clarify if this is software or a hardware issue;
In such case it would be advisable to test the notebook with factory settings
I think you should use the Toshiba recovery CD and should restore the unit back to the Toshiba factory settings.
Usually the movies should run smoothly without any troubles using the right applications like WinDVD for example.
If some troubles will appear then a graphic driver update could be advisable but if this will not help then an ASP should be contacted and the notebook should be checked.

Adding Effects like slow motion, fast motion etc...

On the old imovie you could add animations, slow motion/fast motion, and other graphics to clips. How do you do the same with imove 08 most important the slow motion feature?

I'm currently using iMovie 08 and I would switch to iMovie 06 but when I try to install it but the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6" pops up. My computer went through a hard drive crash recently and when they replaced it I thought they popped in iLife '08 (hence being stuck with iMovie 08) but i dunno... suggestions?

Images and videos keep getting deleted automatical...

Recently upgraded to symbian anna for my nokia N8, but keep having problems with it. All new and old images got automatically deleted. everytime I take new photos, they automatically get deleted as soon as battery gets low or cell gets switched off or restarted for any reason. what to do? please please help!! whats the use of 12 megapixel camera if cant store photos..

Im afraid it sounds like your device memory has corrupted, have you deleted or removed any applications or software on the device that may have caused this to happen?
The only way to fix this problem would be to do a hard reset, However before doing this go into mass memory storage and recover whatever image, video and contact files you can (I am aware that you said most of them are .lnk now), and try to manually back up your media and information that you would like to keep, also create a full phone back up using Ovi Suite (this most likely wont be used, because if you where to use this back up after the hard reset the problem would probably persist however its nice to keep it just incase!).
After doing a hard reset, put your phone back into Mass memory storage and manually put back your media and other information.
If your phone still isnt fixed, restore your phone using the full back up made in Ovi Suite, created before the hard reset.
If your problem STILL persists, You will have to take your phone to a local Nokia Care Point and have a technical expert take a look at it.
I really hope this helps!

Why does my 4:3 miniDV video keep getting captured as 16:9? (Vidi/Final Cut Pro question)

This is partially related to Final Cut Studio, although not necessarily. I've been trying to back up dozens of my miniDV tapes on to my harddrive for several months now, racing against the clock as their video quality starts to degrade. Since Final Cut Pro started giving me problems with the timecode breaks, I started using a capture program called Vidi instead (v0.4.7) Everything was capturing well, considering, until just last week where several of my tapes, which were shot in 4:3, would capture as 16:9. That is, the video files were clearly stretched to a 16:9 aspect ratio and appeared distorted. Today I tried to go back to Final Cut (v6.0.6) to capture it the old way, and, lo and behold, the video was once again being stretched to 16:9.
A few things:
- I'm about as sure as I can be that these tapes were shot in 4:3. I've watched them several times on my TV and they are played back in 4:3, with the black bars on the left and right.
- I had actually captured video previously from one of these tapes a few years back and it recorded as a 4:3 video file, just as it should.
- I definitely have "4:3" checked off in Vidi when I capture the video. What's even more infuriating, is that BOTH Vidi and Final Cut show the video playing in its 4:3 aspect ration during apture. It's only when I check the captured file that it's been stretched to 16:9
- A tape I shot in 2008 captured perfectly with Vidi today - in it's 4:3 format. That seems to imply that it's not a software setting issue.
I'm starting to lose my mind with this, especially since I haven't found a single reference to this problem anywhere else. All I want is to get the raw DV data off of these tapes to work with at a future date, and I'd like it to be exactly as it was originally shot, not distorted. Maybe some bit of code on these tapes got messed up over time, resulting in capture software to think it was shot in 16:9? These tapes aren't anywhere near my oldest ones - they're from 2010 and 2011. Is there something obvious I'm missing when I capture these videos? If there's no other solution, is it possible to squeeze them back to 4:3? It might not look as good as if were captured in it's native format, but I'm out of ideas.

Not sure if it makes any difference for archiving purposes, but dv files (dv streams) are not generally recommended for use in fcp. .mov with the dv codec is how fcp captures SD video via firewire. Someone a few months ago claimed that .dv was fine with fcp, but I seem to remember that audio will always need to be rendered and since I always use fcp for capture of DV material, it's not an issue for me.
You can use compressor to both convert to .mov with the dv codec and reset the anamorphic flag. Not sure if there will be any loss of quality, so it might be worth testing this. Perhaps someone with more knowledge will speak up regarding this or alternative methods of converting .dv to .mov
What problems are you having capturing from within fcp? Shouldn't be a problem. I find that setting the easy setup correctly is crucial for successful capturing. Even if all the individual elements that seem to compose the easy set up are correct, there can still be problems. Perhaps you might want to start a new thread regarding your capture problems and we can see if we can solve the problem.

My videos keep lagging when imported to Motion 5, Impossible to edit on!

When I import a video to motion 5 from my GoPro Hero 3 it laggs and has the spinning beach ball for about 5 secs then goes! The software keeps crashing and freezing. But when im testing out the intros that come with motion works fine! But it only laggs when I upload my own video. Can anyone please help? Thanks

Try transcoding a clip to Pro Res and see whether your playback performance improves.
