Playback speed is 'fast'?

When playing a PAL captured sequence, it is playing at what appears to be 'fast forward' speed in the Viewer.
I can't get it to play at normal speed!
Any ideas?

Do you mean you've opened a sequence into the viewer, or do you mean a clip, or do you mean the sequence in the canvas? If it's a clip, what exactly does item properties think it is. Same for a sequence if that's he problem.

Audio playback speed too fast

Please help. After installing Security Update 2010-002 on Leopard 10.5.8 all audio tracks play several bpm faster. This is true for pre created tracks in Logic and playing tracks in Toast or using quick preview. All iTunes material is also affected. I also have a Snow Leopard partition which I haven't updated in any way and the problem exists there too. I'm using a late 2008 Macbook Pro. Any ideas? Best, L.

Without actually looking at your system, I'd be hard-pressed to pinpoint the culprit. I don't even have a hunch. I could be a conflict between some third-party application/plug-in/login item/ and something else.
The only thing I can suggest is this:
1. Move the Preferences folder from ~/Library/ (that is the Library folder in your home directory) to the Desktop.
2. Log out and log back in.
Your familiar working environment will likely look very different from what you're used to, since Mac OS will recreate the missing preferences and use the default settings.
Launch the applications that you experienced trouble with and test them out. Be prepared to reconfigure them, as they will likely launch in their default state. If everything works fine, you're going to have to add your old .plist files back one by one, logging out and back in each time.
You can speed up the process by batch-adding back the .plist files that you feel have little to do with the underlying problem. (For example, iPhoto or iWork .plists are the least likely candidates to cause any problems, etc.) You're going to make a few educated guesses and learn a great deal on the way.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific. Your problem is very unusual, and if I experienced it myself, I'd do exactly what I described above. At least, you were able to localize the problem to your user account.
A few pointers.
It's a good idea to keep the two Preferences folders open side by side, both set to List View. When moving your old preferences to the newly created Preferences folder, hold down the Option key (to copy them, rather than move). This will save you a great deal of time if you have to start all over again.
Cheers.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?: When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

Thanks Erik,
If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
As an aside....
I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...) were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

Playback speeds up intermittently on first scene when played after build

Hi
I have a problem with playback on apple dvd player after completing the build? When I play the authored project on apple dvd player after the build, after clicking on the play button in the main menu, the first scene (about 1 min. long) playback speeds up intermittently-normal speed then fast for a second then normal then fast-jumpy I guess might describe it. This only happens on the first scene with all the other scenes after this point in the timeline playing fine. I placed 2 new clips (different assets-scenes) to replace the first scene & the same issue happens with different asset clips being used in the same position (first) in the track timeline.
The scenes I used are pans of a running deer, which play fine anywhere else in the track timeline except the first position. When I play the project it's fine in simulator mode & in the project itself...this only happens after the build when playing on apple dvd player from VIDEO_TS folder. This is a test project for some footage so it's only 10 minutes long with bit rates at 5-6 ave. & 6-7.4 max.
-2 pass VBR-best motion.
Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm using DVDSP 2 with Jaguar 10.2.8.
Thanks for any help.

Della:
Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!

Playback speeded up

I have an iTouch. I imported a cd with meditations on it into my computer. They all play just fine. I created a playlist on my iTouch, and put them into it. When I play the playlist on my iTouch - 3 of the 4 are in fast mode...I deleted the playlist, and tried it again - same thing happened... Any suggestions on how to fix. The iTouch is up to date, as is the iTunes on my computer....

Go to the play screen with the three fast content. On the right and slightly below the scrubber bar is there a ox with 1/2X, 1X or 2X? Those are the playback speeds that appear with podcasts and audio books. To change the playback speed, tap the box to cycle through the speeds.

DIscrepancy between Flash Playback Speed and SWF

I'm experiencing a fairly signifigant DIscrepancy between rate of apparant motion in the flash files Im working on, and "speed" of the "finished" SWFs.
Put another way, what appears to be a reasonable speed for a tween in Flash, is a tad too fast when I view the work as a swf preview.
I would rather find a solid method of working with the images Im creating to determine the proper lengths ..and speed of these tweens prior to publishing a preview and then needing to go back and hand alter the length of the tweens I've created.
A "real time" environment would greatly increase the immediacy of creating such " files"
What can you suggest to synchronize these "playback speeds"?
Thank you.

How are you creating these tweens? If you are using coded tweens, what are you using for code?

Adjusting Playback Speed of Individual Audiobooks

I just upgraded to a Touch. With my 60 GB Video I could adjust the playback speed for an individual audiobook file (M4B) by pressing the middle button of the click wheel and cycle through the title, picture, rating, playback speed, etc. How does one do that with the Touch? I've figured out how to set the default for Audiobooks in the settings but I can only rate books while listening.
Also, "Faster" with the touch sounds considerably "Faster" than with earlier iPods. Just my imagination?
Thanks.

Variable playback speed

Hi all,
I am thinking of buying a N97. Is there any app that will make it play mp3's (like podcasts) faster than normal, like VLC does? Alternatively, is there any other phone from Nokia that will do i?
Thanks.

well, it's not fully available, since they're still working on the hardware acceleration for video files on s60v5, but on their forum they're saying that the player is able to play audio files, so it might help the playback speed, since it has this option.

Pal DVD's playback speed... changeable?

My DVD drive is now permanently set to region 2. I have some Pal DVD's and am planning to buy a lot more. I know of the whole 24 fps vs 25 fps thing and I know of the problems with NTSC to Pal conversion. I also know it is possible to tinker with certain drives' playback speed, to slow/speed up a DVD that was supposed to play 1 frame faster/slower.
So... how to do it?

Quicktime 7 streaming playback speed problems.

Hello,
I am currently using QT 7.6.6 to stream asx/asf video files. As these files are lectures, I like to watch them between 1.5X and 2X. When I adjust the playback speed, the load speed stays the same. As a result, after less than a minute my playback stutters. Is there a way to have the stream load faster, so that I won't have to wait 20 minutes for enough of the file to load before I start my faster playback?
Thanks for all the help.

Having just updated my G4 with the new QuickTime 7.5.5, I can say that this fixed the problem I have been having- hoorah!
I appreciate the response from Sig, although I still can't seem to find the QT discussions page from the discussions home page on the Apple site, which is why I posted the problem on the Tiger page.

QT playback speed

Can I save a QT file with a faster playback speed as selected in the A/V controls panel? IOW I'd like the selected options to become the 'normal' setting for the file.
Thanks

I was afraid of that. Now, where can I learn what "jog shuttle" is about and how to actually use it?

Controlling Playback Speed on iPod Mini

I am using iPod to listen to some language lessons (these are not audiobooks, but merely a copy from a language CD uploaded to iTunes+iPod). Unfortunately, the lessons feature dialogs that are way too fast and I would like to slow them down. Is there a way to slow down the playback speed of a song on iPod?

Do the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer?
If so
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I re-set the playback speed of an iPod_2?

I listen to audiobooks and recently the playback speed has gotten much much faster. My sister told me how she fixes the problem on an older iPod, but this one does not have the same settings.
I've looked at all the settings and cannot find the way to do this. And my Apple support has run out.
Has anyone else had and solved this problem?

Sharon, I think everyone has come across this issue at one time or another. It's really a simple matter to fix. Simply tap once on the screen so that you can see the "scrub bar" that allows you to navigate to different spots in your audiobook. Just below the right-hand side of that scrub bar you should see a little box that probably says 2X right now. Tap it until you get it to say 1X and you should be good to go.

Saving playback speed?

Hi, I'm using Quicktime Pro and i noticed that you can change the playback speed in the A/V controls, however I can't seem to find a way to save it like this? I have a video I want to speed up and save that way. I first did this in iMovie HD, but when I saved it, the quality was noticeably worse than the original, so I was hoping maybe there is a way to do this in Quicktime.

Basically there are two strategies here -- 1) rescaling the player duration in QT Pro or 2) re-scaling the time reference in an application like the JES Deinterlacer (free).
1) In the first method, simply create a new QT player having content whose duration is a fraction (less than 1X length for fast motion) or a multiple (greater than 1X the length for slow motion), copy/paste the original content to the new player using the "scale" option, delete the track used to reset scaling, and save the modified file.
2) In the second, you simply rescale the timing reference scale for the movie playback and re-save the file under a new name.
Since no re-compression of the video track is performed, the original video quality is not changed as such.

How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
Thanks!

Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
Much appreciated.
Paul
