Only part of your film in slow-motion

Hi all... first timer here (I seem to be saying that a lot lately)....
I have seen a lot of tutorials on how to make a slow-motion clip (I will be using Premiere Pro 6) but I have not seen anything on how to make only a portion of your project in slow-motion. I assume it can be done fairly easily using my software.... just would like simple, clear steps in order to understand it.
I also do not want to shoot my whole documentary/promo projects in 60fps.... just the parts I want in slow-mo. In other words I want to be able to combine my regular 7-d 24 fps grabs and my slow-mo 60 fps footage in the timeline and work with them that way.... if indeed that's how it is done...
That's it...
Thanks for reading and I hope we can start a nice discussion on this topic.

You can only really say you're a first-timer once. 
Look into "time remapping."  Or...
You can also split a clip, and put a time scale on the split portion, while enabling rippling.

  • Can I make only a portion of a clip slow motion

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to iMovie and was wondering if this was possible. I have one clip (out of about 10) and I know how to make the whole clip slow down, but I actually only want about 3 secs to slow down. Sorry if this is an obvious funtion, but I can't seem to find an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi willcomply - to do what you want, split the clip where you want the effect to start and end. To split a clip, select it, position the playhead, then go Command+T. Now apply the slo-mo effect to the newly created segment.

  • Odd issue with slow motion and exporting

    Hello,
    I have a project with footage taken at either 24p or 60i settings on a Canon HF200. I'm using 7.0.1, ProRes 422 selected. Frame size is set to 1920x1080. I'm exporting using the "Share" menu and the Apple TV preset.
    The project is divided into sequences. One of these sequences (whose source material shot using the 60i setting) is set to play in slow motion using the "change speed" option set to 50%.
    Here's the odd part, to me at least:
    When I export just the slow motion sequence of the project, it plays perfectly (good quality, smooth not jerky, no shadows/trails). But when I export all sequences joined together, the slow motion sequence (and just the slow motion sequence) appears stuttery, with trails on every action by the actors.
    Another odd bit: when I export just a subset of the project including the slow motion sequence and everything after it, again the slow motion sequence plays as intended, after export. So the problem only occurs if I export the slow motion sequence with anything before it included.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Problem solved, but I'm not sure if it was my re-importing the clips, or un-checking the "frame blending" option that did it. I did both for no particular reason, and one of them worked.

  • Slow motion is distorted on DVD

    When i burn a movie to DVD and watch thorugh a dvd player, the slow motion looks distorted.    have premiere elements 7.  I'm trying to make some highlight sport videos.   What is the best way to burn to DVD and get the best quility.   The slow motion looks good when I make a movie in a H.264 or a mpeg2 format and watch on youtube.  I have a Canon vixia HF200 camcorder.

    my timelines will be anywhere from 10-60 minutes a piece. No matter the length I have the same problem.  I do the slow motion by slicing a section I want in slow motion-move it to another video timeline-I copy it-put the original back into the timeline.  With the copy version in the a seperate timeline, I use the stretch tool and stretch the video approx. 5-6 seconds sometimes less, like 2-3 seconds.  I will put the slowmotion version back into the timeline behind the copied version.  When you watch the video you will see the fast version then right away again in slow motion.  I've been putting them on youtube in HD(h.264 or mpeg2 format) and it looks great, but once to DVD it gets distorted. I'm using Magnavox DVD+R's  right now.   I'm using a HD camcorder that puts out m2t format video.
    I'm videoing  youth football right now. plenty of outdoor light.
    As far as the setting I'm using.  I go to Share-Disc-preset NTSC-widescreen_dolby DVD,  slider is moved all the way to highest quility, then burn disk.
    I would apprectiate any feed back with this issue.  It's almost has me giving up on my projects.  Let me know if you need any more info regarding this issue as well.
    The video looks good on TV except when it gets to a part that I made in slow motion too. I have a 46" 1080P TV and I watched it through my computer on a 23" monitor and the same problem.

  • Can the iPhone 4 shoot video in slow motion?

    Can the iphone 4 shoot in slow mo? This video says they shot it in slow motion but I don't think it can?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rV0tzYx8Gk

    This question is too funny...
    Nothing can shoot in slow motion (since things always occur in real time). You can only *play back* a video in slow motion (i.e., reduced frame rate).....

  • How do i put the slow motion effect on only a part of a clip

    i need to figure out how to slow mo only part of a clip

    Marshall,
    Postion your playhead on the frame you want to begin your slo-mo then go to to you edit menu and select split video clip(or use the keyboard combination by pressing "apple key" then "T"), do the same where you want to end your slo-mo. The resulting middle clip is where you apply the slo-mo effect.
    Note: If your clip contains audio you want to keep you should extract the audio before applying the effect.

  • Two slow motion parts in one video?

    Hi!
    How do I have 2 slow motion parts in one video? I have the iPhone 5s and it only lets me slow mo once. Is there any app that does this? Thanks!

    I don't use iMovie (I am a FCP X guy :-)) and in fact only have iMovie '09 in mac, but upon opening it was not hard to find (see the picture below). Basically, select the clip, press the letter "i" to open the inspector and drag the slider to make run slower (or faster).
    I imagine it would be the same in a more recent version.

  • Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

      Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush, but only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag).
       Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
      I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
    Any help would be great, Thanks

  • IPhone 6 Plus IOS v8.1 Slow Motion BROKEN

    Film in either of the two slow motion speeds and plays back ok on phone.  I put the files in the computer (grab the raw file via explorer), on Win 7 Professional, and played with both windows media player AND Quicktime player (up to date players) and the videos play either no slow motion, plays alternating between fast and slow, one time it played slow but had normal voice pitch, other times played slow with low voice pitch.  On youtube, they don't play in slow motion.  One I shot vertically (which I did just as a test) and it was sideways in the computer, however, youtube rotated it so it's vertical but it is not in HD and it does not play back in slow motion.  This same file that was sideways in my computer stopped playing after about 2 seconds in the computer, but played through ok in the phone.  I noticed that as the video plays in the phone, there are blue vertical lines below the left/right scrub/scroll bar for the video.  This can be set to play only a portion in slow motion.  But WHY does it start each video with the ends nudged in so the first 3 sec is regular speed and the last 2 are also reg speed also w/the slo-mo in between?  It defaults to this each time an you have to spread it out to get all slow motion..
    In Win XP, some of the video files don't show up.  It shows .aae files with corresponding numbers to the videos, but most of the videos are not there.
    I think this is a huge software bug that needs to be tested.  I updated the os on my new phone before I put anything into my phone.  Everything else has been perfect till this.  HELP!

    You said, "...plays back ok on phone."  That's where Apple's software stops.  Your problems with Win 7, Win XP, Quicktime, and YouTube need to be addressed on forums for those programs and/or sites.  Presumably the issue has already been resolved by users on those sites, with different solutions for each.

  • Imported Video not in sync with sound. Video in slow motion...

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to Premiere and I wanted to spend some time playing around with it. When I import my videos, the playback is out of sync. The sound is normal but the video is in slow motion so it doesnt sync together. Am I missing something? Using Premiere Pro CS4 and filmed it on a Sony Xacti with MPEG4 AVC sequence.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve
    Oh by the way, it seems to open and play just fine in any other media player

    Steve,
    Glad that you got some material to practice with. That was your goal here.
    Now, file conversions from compressed source material will usually not yield great quality. Unfortunately, the conversion process, unlike what some would love to believe, does not restore quality to the compressed material. It only changes some of the characteristics, but imporved quality is not one of them. Also, depending on the actual conversion program used, the quality can suffer even more. This is a fact of life in Video.
    Now, when you go to get your camera, there are many great threads on many camera makes and models already posted. If you cannot find info on your considerations, post to get recommendations, based on your budget and what you wish to use the camera for. I'm not positive, but I think that the new Equipment sub-forum would be a good place to ask. Previous posts will not be there yet, but will be in the general forum. Many, but obviously not all, cameras have been discussed in length, and their pluses and minuses have been debated.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • 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.

  • Problem slow motion Adobe Premiere Elements 7

    Hello,
    i`ve got a problem.
    If i import the media (from DVD) into Premiere Element 7 i can see the film material BUT i can only see it in slow motion!
    What should i do?
    Best regards!

    Schiller1wels
    For the moment, I am going to take another approach to the issue that you presented. I could be wrong, but I would like to rule it in or out.
    By any chance, did you decide that you wanted a better look at the Timeline frames and decided to expand the Timeline? But, you did not do that using the slider above the Timeline, but rather used the Time Stretch Tool or some other means to increase the duration/length of the video on the Timeline?
    Decreasing the duration of the Timeline video will speed up the action, whereas increasing the duration of the Timeline video will give you slow motion and, if you do not click Maintain Audio Pitch in the Time Stretch dialog, distorted audio.
    In your case, was the audio distorted as well as the video in slow motion?

  • What is the best afordable/free Slow motion plugin for AE CS6?

    Howdy! I am new here and I couldn't really find the answer I was looking for. I need a affordable or Free is even better plugin for AE CS6 to do some editing on GoPro footage and some other High fps video. I really want a smooth and minimal blur effect. Doesn't have to be perfect but better than what I got now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Teflon

    MOST PEOPLE do not understand frame rates and slow motion. High frame rate compositions do not improve slow motion. Video works the same way that film does. Shoot at a high frame rate and playback every frame on a projector that is running slower than your camera was running. Simple as that.
    Time remapping with frame blending is included with AE. If you shoot with your GoPro at 60 or higher just open the footage in AE, interpret the footage as 29.97 or other standard frame rate like 24 or 23.976, then drop the footage in a comp with the same frame rate and you'll have you slow mo with no problem. That's the same thing as shooting film at 60fps or 100fps and threading up the film in a projector that runs 24fps. If you want to slow it down further use Time Remapping.
    The only other really good plug-in is Twixtor, but that's expensive. All others are about the same as what's included with AE.

  • Slow motion 50% export H.264 MOV (at half frame rate)

    Hi,
    I'm using a QuickTime MOV file (H.264, 1080p/59.94fps, 15 seconds) and have set slow motion to 50% (= 30 seconds).
    Can anyone confirm that when I export this clip to 29.97fps I won't lose frames?
    I have Compressor and think I found nearly all required settings except:
    - Key frames - shall I use automatic or 24 or what? (How can I find out what the original key frame value was?)
    - Frame reordering - shall I uncheck this option? (What does it mean? It's not in the manual.)
    Many thanks!

    If you want to make absolutely sure you won't lose frames, you should manually set a project to 29.97fps, import your 60/59.94fps and conform the video (Retime menu > Conform Speed [the retime menu is the 2nd one from the left over the effects browser area/under the inspector area]). FCPX will automatically frame for frame adjust the video to fit to the slower frame rate.
    Key frames (video compression, not animation):  a key frame is a complete image -- 100% pixels in use. Every frame between the key frames are only the parts of the image that change from the last frame (like Cel animation). Setting Automatic allows the software to make the best choices of when and where to create a complete frame. Otherwise, you can experiment with different values (up to All, which is pretty much no compression) to see what kinds of results you get and the overall quality (use very short pieces, like 5 -10 seconds.)  High motion areas in video are always going to be the most challenging with respect to compression (particularly bitrate), so... it's worth figuring out what settings you like that will give the best results (and 5-10second clips don't take that long to render.) I generally use Automatic and adjust the bitrates to give the best overall results (which occasionally requires testing segments.)
    Frame reordering:  allows applications to "decompress" video frames in a different order than they are played, thereby allowing those apps that understand it a way to work faster. Larry Jordan suggests that this setting always be set for H.264 video (although I don't if I'm uploading to YouTube -- I try not to give YouTube any excuses for recompressing my video, so I try to have it already optimized before uploading... so far, it seems to be working.)
