Possible to do SLOW MOTION effet in Motion 2.0?

Hi all --
Is it possible in Motion 2.0 to create the smooth slo-mo effect like in Motion 3.0 with its 'optical flow'?
There doesn't seem to be the same attributes available...
Thanks.

You can do slow-motion, but without optical flow:

  • Is it possible to do slow motion in iMovie?

    I can't find out how i might go about this. can anyone help.
    Also, What's the best way to synch music to film and vice versa. Or should I just buy finalcut?

    FinalCut Express would simplify your wishes..
    for slowmo in iM08, you need a workaround with a free tool:

    iMovie09 would be another option, it offers a few effects as slowmo, and it allows a 'basic' editing to music

  • Is it possible to play back an After Effects composition in slow motion? (CS6)

    Hi,
    I'd like to play back the composition in slow motion so I can make sure the animations are smooth.
    I find that sometimes you see gaps in your animation when you play it back frame by frame but you only just notice that something might be off when you play the timeline back in real time. So this would be for "proofing" your footage. I find the frame by frame approach a bit tedious for a lengthy composition.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    You can enforce a different framerate on the Preview palette.

  • Is it possible to put videos in slow motion?

    Is it possible to put videos in slow motion?

    Yes, probably the easiest method is to use the Time Stretch Tool and just lengthen the Duration of the Clip. Or Rt-click and choose Time Stretch to do this numerically.
    Good luck,

  • Possible to convert video footage to slow motion?

    Long story but I'm filming a short video in the style of the Intel TV ads (link below). Is there a way of converting footage I shoot into slow motion?
    Have read discussion threads for other versions of iMovie, but not '08.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Yes. This feature is built in to iMovie 09, but for iMovie 08, you must pre-process with an external app such as JES DeInterlacer.
    If you do a search of this discussion, you will find some posts that link to Karsten Schluter's web site where he gives detailed instructions.

  • Is it possible to my play my uploaded videos in slow motion?

    Hello All,
    I have the macbook pro and I am trying to figure out how to play my uploaded videos in slow motion.
    I am using the quicktime player version 10.1 and I am only seeing the ability to playback, pause, play, enlarge screen and fast forward through my videos.
    If it is not possilbe to get the videos to play in slow motion using quicktime, I would appreciate suggestions on software that I could get. Nothing complicated, I just really need that slow motion feature! Thank you!

    This capability is dependent on the media player. QT X.1 does not have either a slow or fast motion playback feature control. The closest you can get is holding down the right arrow key in which case the "slow motion" spped will be dependent on your computer's CPU power and the clip's frame rate.

    The QT 7 Player (free) can play files with sound between 0.5 and 3.0 times normal speed. The VLC player (free) has a wider range of speed variations with sound but audio usually drops out at below 0.25 times normal playback speed. The TV player also has three slow speed (and fast speed) playback options but I don't know their exact speeds and it is without sound.

  • Slow motion camera software for iSight?

    Hi there!
    I was wondering if there is any software out there that would allow me to record things using my isight camera in slow motion? 100 frames per second would be nice but more would be awesome! This would be really handy as I'm an animator and I'd like to analyze my movements better. If this is not possible, does anyone know of the cheapest digital cameras or camcorders that have features like this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Simon

    I'm pretty sure the internal iSight cameras can't physically do any more that 30fps, and even that's only in ideal conditions. Any cameras I've seen that can do true high speed/slowmo recording are in the $1000+ bracket, but I haven't looked in a while.

  • Question about Camera/Premiere Settings for Slow Motion Video

    I'm new to shooting video with cameras that have manual options, so I'm not exactly sure how I should set up the camera settings. It's a Canon 60D. Basically in the video I want to make, I'd like to have a lot of normal speed to slow motion transitions. Some of the video footage will be very fast paced, so I'd like to slow it down as much as possible without making the video appear jumpy. I assume I should change the frame rate on the camera to 60 fps. Is there anything else I should adjust within the settings?
    I will be editing with premiere elements if you know of any additional tips for that.
    Thank you in advance!

    The speed of your camcorder doesn't matter. You can apply Time Stretch to any video clip.
    There's a limit to how much  you can slow it, of course. With that camera and Premiere Elements, you're not going to be able to slow down a water spray so you an see the individual droplets or anything like that. But, if you combine TimeStretch and Frame Blend, you should get very good results slowing your footage down a certain amount.
    How much you can slow it and still be satisfied with the results is kind of a judgment call. So I encourage you to experiment and see what your tolerance is.

  • Tried to shoot 60 FPS for slow motion, but ...

    I have a DVCPro HD clip, 720P, 59.94 frames per second. I was hoping to get a medium slow-motion effect in FCP. So I imported it and put it in a 23.97 frames per second sequence. It shows at regular speed. Hmmm...
    I looked at the clip in the Viewer. I found a part of the action that lasts one second, and I counted 60 frames for that second. But in the Sequence, that same action shows only 24 frames.
    Then I got a brilliant idea! I used Modify - Speed to slow it down to 40%. I hoped I would see all 60 frames of that one-second bit of action. But instead of showing all 60 frames, FCP uses only about 24 frames, and copies each frame once or twice to stretch out the action. So the action looks jumpy instead of smooth.
    A friend last last month shot something with the Panasonic HVX200 at DVCProHD 59.54 FPS, and he got a smooth slow motion effect in FCP. But he moved out and isn't answering his phone.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I owe everyone an apology, because I gave the wrong information about the video file. As you will recall, I was frustrated that it appeared to play at only 23.97 frames per second in Final Cut Pro, even though I thought I had shot it at 60 fps. Yesterday I discovered why it appeared to play at a different frame rate, but the reason was so bizarre, so unbelievable, that I began to doubt my own sanity.
    Friends, the video clip changes frame rate in the middle! Yes, it does. You see, I had been looking at a portion of the shot with the lower frame rate; later in the same shot, the frame rate increased to 60 fps. You may ask, how is this possible? I do not know. I only know that I shot it with the little Sanyo HD1000 camcorder, which records as AVCHD (h.264), and the clip changed to a slower frame rate when the shot got darker, then back to 60 fps when the shot got brighter. Apparently the camcorder reacted to the lack of light by decreasing the frame rate, in order to have time to gather more light for each frame.

  • Automator/Workflow actions are in "slow-motion" under Mac OS X 10.6.x

    Hi,
    after the update to SL some of my Automator Workflows dont work properly.
    I do things like copy some part of sentence from a .rtf document and insert it into a input box of a website in firefox.
    In 10.5.8 everything worked like a charm. But in 10.6.x the same workflow (also new created) works some times and the other time it slows down and the cursor moves like a slow-motion. Pixel for pixel and i cannot stop the workflow. I only can wait until the workflow is finished (takes in "slow-down" mode 30 minutes) or i do a hardreset. I wonder if anyone else such of this problems with automator under 10.6
    I tested the same things with my mac mini that i didnt upgraded and it works like expected.
    I think you can reproduce the behaviour, if you create a new .rtf document with numbers from one to twelve and make a workflow where you mark 4 letters, cut, bring firefox to front, paste into form, go to .rtf, mark next 4 letters, cut, go to firefox, paste into form, doing that until there are no more letters.
    very curious...

    the whole automator and in particular the record action was substantially rewritten in snow leopard. and the record action is slow, unreliable and you can't trouble-shoot it. it's a wonder it works at all. the only advice i can give is to use it as little as possible. if at all possible avoid it altogether. if you do need to use it try using keyboard strokes instead of the mouse movement. for example. use command+c and command+v for copying and pasting and use tabbing to choose the correct box on the page.

  • What is it best to feed Motion for good slow motion with optical flow?

    What I mean is: what type of footage does the retiming work with best? I shot some footage in 1920x1080p using a shutter speed of 1/1000 under the assuption that having each frame as sharp as possible (little to no motion blur) would improve the vector analysis of optical flow. Unfortunately, the resulting slowdown isn't very smooth. (50% slowdown is decent but not great and anything slower looks choppy). I don't know if this was due to the shutter speed and progressive frames or simply the nature of the material (A swimmer doing the butterfly stroke, i.e a lot of splashing water) My first test for opticalflow retiming was 1920x1080i at 1/60 shutter (pouring water in a glass). Results were a bit blurry but a lot smoother. Any tips? (interlaced or progressive? slow or fast shutter?) Thanks.

    Thanks for tip David. I work at a middle school, we shoot a lot of district functions with three cameras then use the multiclip function of FCP. If I bought three of these cameras do you think they will work well in that environment? here is our workflow:
    1. Sync cameras with a clapper at the start of show.
    2. Import into FCP
    3. Mark inpoint at the sound of the clapper
    4. Create the multiclip sequence and edit
    We have done 50 or so shows like this with 14 year olds as the editors and the results are very nice. I would like to move to the hard drive based camera. Being in education we are on a tight budget. Think three of these camerass would work in this environment?
    Thanks so much for your expert advice.

  • 60fps Reverse Slow Motion Bug?

    I have been playing with slow motion in iMovie using 60fps source footage (i.e. 60fps clips in a 30fps project).  It does a decent job but I have come across some strange behaviour when playing the slow motion clips in reverse.  It appears that iMovie losses it's nice smooth slow motion when the clip is played in reverse.  By this I mean that in reverse the nice smooth 60fps@50% clips look the same as 30fps@50% clips, they are choppy.
    Take a look a this clip for an example: http://vimeo.com/27162470  (just uploaded and currently being processed by Vimeo, may or may not be ready for viewing yet)
    I cannot figure out why.  Wonder if this is a bug/limitation in iMovie or if I'm missing a setting somewhere.  I suspect the former.
    Message was edited by: DigitalOxygen.ca

    One possible workaround is to reverse the clip before importing into iMovie but I have yet to find a tool other than iMovie that will let me do that easily.  Some quick investigation into MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, and ffmpeg didn't turn up much. 
    Anyone know of a tool that will allow me to reverse the clip before importing into iMovie?

  • Slow Motion on EX-1

    I'm shooting a short comedy with the Sony EX-1, likely for web/DVD. I'd probably shoot the whole thing in 1080p24 BUT I need a few shots in slow-motion by "overcranking" to 60fps - and that is only possible in 720p24.
    So, any suggestions as to whether I should (a) do normal shots in 1080p24, and slow-motion shots in 720p24, then mix in FCP; or (b) do everything in 720p24, thus avoiding any mixed format issues?

    I guess the reason is to capture at the best quality possible in case I want to move to the big screen or use the higher res version one day. Also, it's nice to have the extra pixels in case I want to do some scaling/zooming during the edit.
    You're right, of course, that I'd be up-rezzing the 720p only to compress it again for web/DVD. I'm not sure how much that will muddy it up, but maybe I'll see. (I have another couple days to decide which way to go). That said, I may end up down-rezzing the 1080p, in which case I'll wonder whether it would have been smarter to capture in 720p in the first instance. (Hmm, would there be a difference between "captured as 1080p and down-rezzed to 720p in FCP" footage versus "captured as 720p in the first instance" footage? I'll have to search the boards for that one.)
    Thanks again for your insight and advice!

  • Decent slow motion without artifacts?

    I can't get decent half speed slow motion in AE CS6. Frame blending looks horrible with all the double contours in fast moving objects, and pixels motion looks much better motion wise, but introduces horrible motion artifacts. I also tried Pixel Motion using the Timewarp effect to have more control over tweaking it, but no matter what parameters I change, I still get the artifacts. So it looks like After Effects by itself doesn't have a good way to do slow motion that looks great, at least not for the footage I'm using.
    Are there any other filters I can try, whether in AE or 3rd party that will go a great job?
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    As Rick said, blaming it on a specific plug-in/ feature is kinda missing the point. Half the magic happens during shooting. If I knew I'd want to slow things down, I'd get the camera that would offer the highest framerate and least compression, even if it means an expensive rental of an ARRI camera. If that's not possible then you'll have to make do with what you have and try to fix it in post. Using a sophisticated tool like Twixtor no doubt is always an option, but many times it starts with simpler things like trying to reduce block artifacts or evening out color. Such basic stuff often helps the algorithms a lot. The same as you would when doing keying. Also you can always try to mask specific parts and slow them down in separate pre-comps. It may give alignment issues, but if you want to do some sky replacment or keying, it would be acceptable to proceed this way...

  • Editing: How to turn a clip into slow motion

    Is it possible to turn a clip into slow motion?
    Message was edited by: jthfour

    Yes.
    Use Modify>Speed. (Command-J)
    Set the % to less than 100. eg 50% is half speed, 25% quarter and so on.
    Check the Frame Blending box.
