New Speed Change tools

Can anyone elaborate on the usage of the new speed change tools? I'm having trouble getting the easing to work correctly, and am pretty lost about the envelope/keyframe editing.

Annoying problem with speed change tools in FC7

I have a clip that is 8 seconds long. Halfway into the clip I want to slow down and freeze on the end frame. How do I do this?

This is trickier than it could be.
Double-click the clip in the Timeline to load the clip in the Viewer.
Click on the Motion tab and open the Speed area (Time Remap in FCP6).
Move to half-way through your clip.
Click the Insert/Delete Keyframe button to create a new keyframe.
Press the right arrow to move forward one frame and press the button again to create a second keyframe.
Right-click that second keyframe in the keyframe graph and choose Smooth. You may need to zoom in (command-plus) to get the right one.
Press the down arrow to jump to the end of your clip and press the Insert/Delete Keyframe button a third time to create a new keyframe at the end of the clip.
In the keyframe graph, drag this final keyframe down a little. The curve should dip to a flat line to indicate a freeze frame. You may need to tweak the bezier handle on the second keyframe to adjust the speed ramp.
This feature isn't new, and for complex tasks it's still better than the new speed tool in FCP7. If you find it confusing, remember that horizontal movement takes you through the sequence and vertical movement takes you through the clip. If the line goes up, left to right, it's going forward. Down, left to right, is backward. Steeper lines (relatively speaking, because zooming changes angles) are faster, and a flat line is a freeze frame.

Speed change for audio also?

When changing the speed of some video I cannot change the speed of the audio to keep the audio in sync with the video. Or is there a way to sync the audio with the video after the video has had a speed change? This has probably been discussed before but I can't find it.

Thank you for responding. It is very late now and I am just getting to your responses so I can't be sure but I will work on the project tomorrow. However, as I remember the audio and video are still linked and I have not unlinked them but I am only getting a speed change on the video. In your second response you mentioned making a speed change of the audio - I tried using the speed change tool on the audio but got nowhere - IF this is how you thought I should change the audio speed. I will get to the testing tomorrow about the linked audio and video to make sure they are still linked. Again, thanks for your response. This may seem like a lame question but I need help on some of the most simple problems.

Speed Changes / Motion import

I have a particular shot -- I razor bladed in into 7 sections. Most are set to speed 100%, but some are set to 50%, 125%, etc. On two of the slices, I also used the "Curve from beginning" thing in the new speed change window (FCP v7)
OK now -- How do I import this sequence into Motion? I want to replace all the speed change effects in FCP with Optical Flow.
Can this process be streamlined or is is manual? IS there are way to maintain the curves in Motion?
Thanks
Steve

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

How do You Make Accurate Speed Changes To Clips?

How do you apply a speed change to an audio clip in with frame accuracy? I have 2 audio clips, one from a camera and the other from a cheap solid-state recorder. The latter has audio drift and needs a one-off, constant adjustment to sync it with the camera audio.
However, FCP only wants to execute clip speed changes down to 1/10th of 1%, which is not small enough. Does anyone know what to do here - either within FCP or Sountrack Pro? Thanks.

I just know that often when capturing long segments of DV tape for our shows, we occasionally get a clip that comes in at 47.998 or 48.002, instead of the solid 48kHz.
When I export to aiff, it seems to clear up any sync drifting we experience with the original clips.
Might give it a go.
STPro is a solid option as others pointed out. I simply suggested a quick fix to a possible sync/drift issue. (quicker than learning a new interface...though that's something that should be done anyway, for the tools STPro offers).

HVX200 speed changes in FCP . . .HELP!

So confused here . . . I appreciate any help people can offer . . .
Shot footage with HVX200 in 720p/24p mode at various frame rates (12,18,48,60). Trying to use it alongside my DVCPRO50 project footage (with the speed changes of course). I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
I KNOW that I should have shot in the 720p/24pn mode so that the excess frames would have been removed for 29.97 playback, but I tried using the Panasonic/Apple DVCPROHD Frame Conversion tool and NOTHING happens. I follow the instructions to a T, select the clip in the bin, select the plug-in from the tools menu and NOTHING happens at all, no message, no chime, nothing. I'm running FCP 5.1.2 in OS 10.48, Quicktime 7.13 — everything is up to date. ANY IDEA what I've done wrong? I even tried re-importing the 720 clips to no avail.

Welcome to the forums.

You do realize that you are using HD footage in a standard def project, right? And that the camera does shoot DVCPRO 50. Just curious.
I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
If you drop the footage into a 29.97 timeline and render, it will play back at 29.97fps...it won't slow down or speed up. That is not how you adjust the speed. I often get footage shot 720p60, and if I want to just mix it with my other 720p24 footage, I drop it into the timeline and render. However, if I want it to be slow motion, I use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter.
But you said you tried that and nothing happened...so try this trick. Create a new project and copy the clips into that project, THEN try the converter. It is an odd bug, but that is what I do and it works great.
For more information, I blog about my experiences working with P2 and DVCPRO HD in general. CLick on Underdog to get there.

How to offset speed change in frame rate conforming?

Hi all. I am conforming video from about 25fps to 30 fps in cinema tools, before editing in FCP. Does any one know of a formula, or calculator tool that would tell me the speed change percentage to use, to get the clip to play in normal speed while editing? Is there a setting to do this automatically in FCP?

And you needn't speed change the footage at all. Simply cutting 25fps footage into a 30fps timeline will do. If you really desire a formula, to convert 25 fps to 30, you need to run it slower (less frames) so the speed is 25/30 or 5/6ths or 83% - to do it the other way, 30/25 = 6/5ths or 120%.
But, like I said, if you cut PAL footage into an NTSC timeline, it will adjust the speed appropriately - sizing too...

Been trying to get new speed from 8 Meg since Febr...

In December we received a letter stating our bt contract was running out, we phoned up to renew our contract, whilst talking with the sales person we also talked about our exchange that was being upgraded in February to 21CN WBC. They told us that renewing this contract would up us on the priority list for the new speed switch over.
We are still waiting for our line to be changed to the new modulation, we have had numerous calls to bt asking what is going on and why we haven't been switched over yet, only to put through countless line tests and being asked to check our master sockets and filters.
on Wednesday the 25 July 2012 it seemed like I made some progress speaking with someone who actually sounded like they knew what they where talking about over the telephone, they stated that our line would be switched from adsl max to adsl 2 and it would take 48 hours and then it would be done. It's now Sunday and our speeds and modulation are still exactly the same.
Could some one please help it's been months of trying to get anywhere over the bt phone helplines.

After talking with the care team My conenction is now on the new adsl 2 speeds thanks to David.
The main reason We were after the new speeds was the new upload speed, it seems my download speed has been improved but my upload speed is still the same.
Would I need to re contact the care team after the 10 days training period on the line training to see about getting the new upload speed also?

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Causing Jerky Playback with Speed Changes

Here is an Matrox AVI that was captured in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Watching the edited clip with a speed change of 600% looked fine when played in Premiere Pro CS4.
When I export the clip using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 as MPEG2 Blu-ray with a preset of 1440 x 1080i High Quality playback is very jerky. An export of the same clip with normal speed looks great??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Slow motion and speed changes blurry jittery - SOLUTION!

I Have had a few issues with slo mo and sped up stuff going blurry or jittery on me.
This is from HD from a HC3 down converted (camera does this) to SD anamorphic (pal).
I think i have found the solution - and welcome any exra content from more experienced heads than mine.
Of course there are limitations to how far you can slo mo before you get the jitters - anyway- here is my hot tip!
Change your speed (fit to fill , or modify speed) of the clip in the canvas (leaners - watch your sound timing - it can be thrown off if you have locked off ausio tracks) open up your clip from the canvas by double cliking it, tap the motion tab, cross the motion blur box - adjust the sample setting from 4 to 32 (i dont know exactly what this does but this is the key!, drop motion blur down to 0 %.
RENDER! voila! This has quickly resulted in some speed changed clips that hold their form rather nicely (no blurring or strobing , jitters etc - that have plagued me in the past - i'm doing lots of sport stuff where speed changes are common)
Hope this helps other relative newbs out there! And if anyone would care to comment on why this works i would be all ears!

I know what you mean, I end up with an extra frame if I set an in and out point then insert/overwrite replace or superimpose.
I find the quickest work flow is to
0. mark the in point at start of clip
1. copy the clip, command c
2. go to the end of the sequence, end
3. paste clip
4. change speed, look at duration of clip, change speed %, command j
5. change duration back to original duration,
6. cut clip from end of time line,
7. return to in point and paste clip.
I find this does give me control over the clip, does not affect the timeline and is frame accurate.
I agree you should be able to change the clip speed without affecting the duration.
The alternative is as Andy described, fit to fill, here is an alternitive way of doing/describing this process;
adjust the out point of the clip to the new point you want,
move the clip out of the space on the timeline where you want the clip with the speed change to go,
place the CTI in the space where you want the new clip to go,
double click on the clip you want to adjust, opening it in the viewer,
drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and the fit to fill option will appear along with all of the other options,
this will also do what you want, I believe there is no one click solution.
Someone please prove me wrong! I would love to be able to "command j" in to the speed dialog box, click on a check box that says keep duration or in/out points and simply change the duration.

Clean up speed changes in a zoom/track

Hi again,
I am just cleaning up some final issues on my edit and there is one tracking shot that has some slight speed change (bit jumpy) in it. I was wondering if I can smooth the speed with a filter or by using keyframe editor in motion?
I am pretty new to Motion, so please forgive me.
Many Thanks

Does it have to do with this?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3686148?tstart=0
If all you want to do is smooth out bad camera work, use the Smooth Behavior in Motion. Make sure you have Optical Flow selected.
Have fun

New Chromatic Aberration tools kills old settings.

I've just recently found that new chromatic aberration tools kills settings for old chromatic aberration tools.
Lets say I have a PV2010 photo with adjusted sliders for chromatic aberration reduction and selected defringe "all edges".
Now I'm importing this photo to LR 4.1.
Note: I'm not updating process version!
Photo is automatically updated by Lightroom to new CA controls (note it still PV2010 photo).
Well, I must say the the results are superb - they are the same as I was achieving with manual sliders, but now with only one click.
But the problem is - Lightroom says that metadata have been changed, and I am writing back changes to XMP.
But now XMP contains settings for new CA tools, but settings for old CA tools are LOST.
So if I want to open this image in ACR 6.6, or send it to someone with older LR version I end up with completely resetted CA settings, because ACR 6.6 does not have new CA tools, and settings for old tools are killed by LR 4.1 - they are just removed from XMP.
So I am loosing CA removal settings completely when opening image in earlier version of application.
And I am NOT updating process version!
Any comments on this?

Here is screen shot in which you can see that even PV2010 photo has new CA tools and old ones are gone with their settings applied in LR3.
I have tried to import CR2 files without any settings in the XMP into newly created empty catalog and have same result.
When I am switching photo to PV2003 or PV2010 only new CA tools are available.
And saving metadata to file kills old CA settings and writes settings for new tools (even for PV2010 photo) which previous versions does not understand.
To my opinion this is very serious bug!
Here is photoshop feedback message created 5 days ago: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_new_cromatic_aberration_to ols_kills_old_settings
Looks like noone cares...
Can someone at least say do I am the only person having this issue, or you can see this behaviour too.

FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

Hi!
We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
Thank you!

Hi! And thanx for the tip.
But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
What works:
Drop clip into new comp
Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
Set speed% to something low, like 5.
Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
What doesn't work:
Repeat above steps... up to 5
Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
Has anyone encountered this?
In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
UPDATE:
I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

Magic trackpad tracking speed changes

My Magic trackpads tracking speed changes to slow when I log off. I have to reset it when I log on.
How do I set the tracking speed to stay put?

If you use MagicPrefs, some people believe that causes the Magic Trackpad to default back to slowest tracking speed on restart/relog. Have a look at the Magic Prefs preferences pane for the Trackpad and see if you can change the default tracking speed in that instead of the System Preferences pane.
If you don't use MagicPrefs, there is a fix using Terminal for the same problem with the Magic Mouse, and it may work for the trackpad too. I'm adapting this from Tyler Nicols' post on his blog.
Open a Terminal Window
Enter the following command to see what your current setting is:
         defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling
This will return a numeric value. To speed up (or slow down) your mouse tracking, you can simply change this number accordingly by typing the following command, replacing the “your_trackpad_speed” with a new number such as 5.0. Notice that read has been changed to write:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling your_trackpad_speed
So, for example:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling 5.0
You may need to restart your mac to see the changes take effect.
Let me know if it works for you.
