Problem speeding up a video clip

When I try to change the speed of one video file by pressing command-J or by pressing modify speed, I get a failure message and it says "Unable to complete command. A conflict occurred during a trim operation." This hasn't happened on any other clip, even in this same sequence. I've restarted several times, run diagnostics and got Pro kit update, but this one clip refuses to change. Any ideas? Thanks.

When you change the speed of the clip in the timeline the sequence ripples to accommodate the speed change. If there are overlapping track you may get a clip collision on a different track that prevents the sequence from rippling. In this instance you'll get this error message. You can match frame to a new copy of the clip (Cmd-Opt-F), apply the speed change to that clip and then edit it into the timeline however you want.

If you right click on your clip, does it offer to Optimize Video? If so, after you optimize you can change the speed.

How can I change the speed of a video clip?

hi, I'm a new user of iMovie 08.
I fail to find the function button that can make a video clip slow down or faster, such as change the speed to 60% of the normal speed,etc.
I know iMovie 06 has this function,it's in video FX,duration,speed...but I can't find the menu in iMovie08.
Is there anyone knows where it is?
many thanks!

Upgrade to iMovie 06.
Slow / Fast Motion is easy with iMovie 06.
iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

Problem playing some .wmv video clips in my C7..

Hello dear friends;
I just bought my new Nokia C7 mobile, everything is fantastic, i like this delightful device.. it has great many new features.. but i couldn't play some .wmv video clips.
I'm just wondering if there is a good media player need to install in mobile for playing this kind of format video clips.
thanks..

I don't know if CorePlayer has released a version for the C7 but this worked very good.
Another option is to connect the phone to PC and use Windows Media Center or WMP11 or later to SYNC the video to the C7 this should convert the video before tranferring and may solve the problem.
Otherwise you may need to convert the video from WMV to MPEG-4 or other format that's supported by the C7.
640K Should be enough for everybody

How do I change the speed of a video clip after making it a Smart Object?

In order to apply the same Camera Raw filter to every segment of a clip I was going to split multiple times, I converted the whole clip to a Smart Object, applied my Camera Raw filter settings, and then split the clip and deleted some portions. Now I want to make certain portions of those clips slow-motion, but even if I right-click on the right side of the layer and select "Clear Smart Filters", all I see when I right-click on the clip in the timeline are the motion options; I can no longer change the speed or the audio. Is there a way to do this without having to make all the cuts in the beginning, changing the speed and the audio, and then having to go back and convert each individual segment into a smart object and then apply the same ACR filter to each one?

Brett,
Thanks for addressing this question. I tried it and see that the embedded file is the entire clip that I started with, not the trimmed version that I turned into a SO, but at least I could go back and make a change that way in a pinch.
If you wouldn't mind looking at this video between :50 and 1:40, and tell me if you think that AE or PP would give me significantly better results in the jumping segments where I slowed it down to 25%: 2014-06-26 And the last thing I expected to see jump out of the box was Albert Einstein! on Vimeo. I am trying to keep my expenses down by only using PS CC for video editing, and love the Camera Raw filter capabilities. By using PS CC it also lets me lay down my audio and edit to the audio w/o, as Mylenium suggested, outputting my file from PS CC into either AE or PP to do the slow-mo part.
Thanks again for your help!

Problem with the imported video clips

Hi! I'm very new to Premiere Pro, so please don't scold me :)
I have a video file (.AVI) that I want to remove the audio from, and insert a new audio track.
Here's my problem: When I import the AVI file into Premiere, and double-click it to preview it, it is really glitchy. The video is 1 minute long. During ~5 seconds in the very beginning, the whole video's "video" track is played, extremely speeded up (It plays through it all). The rest of the video consists of a freezed frame, and the audio is played in normal pace.
I do not know which codec the AVI-file is encoded with, is this relevant?
When I restarted Premiere the first time, it told me that it had to download codecs. I pressed OK and the codecs was downloaded and installed okay, but the problem remains.
I copied the .AVI-file directly from my camera (Canon IXUS 700 I believe).
When I play the original AVI file with VLC, everything runs perfectly with audio and video.
I'm totally clueless, anyone have a clue how I can solve this?
Any help at all appreciated, thanks in advance!

Very relevant. Please provide
these details to help us help you.

Can Motion alter the speed of a video clip?

Or must this be done in FCP?
I want to speed up a clip.

You can alter the FPS in the media pane, or play with the scrub filter - see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=635543 for Scot Walker's tip. Or you can use compressor or FCP, but you must send the self contained export/import of FCP to Motion. Timeline speedchanges are ignored.

Safari Problems with websites w/video clips

Hello, this is my first MAC so please don't flame me.
When going to sites that play video/audio clips I'm getting "plugin not found" but there's no link where to get the plugin (reminds me of the netscape days).
Specific Error:
has content of MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed
Please tell me where I can get Safari plugins. Thanks in advance. By the way, the audio plays fine.

How strange then - that removing the real plugins will give a MIME type “audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin message in safari - yet as soon as they are installed.... the pages work again.
Have a look for 'mime' in help on a mac - esp in the QT sections. An example...
MIME Settings: When files are downloaded over the Internet, each file is assigned a MIME type to indicate what kind of file it is. Your browser keeps track of which plug-in should be used to display each kind of file.
QuickTime can display a wide variety of file types. To make QuickTime handle more or fewer file types, you can edit the MIME type settings. If you edit the list, you can return to the default list by clicking Use Defaults.
mime, of itself.... is absolutely not something incompatible with macs or safari.

Can I adjust the speed of my video clips?

I would like to use slow motion and fast motion in the movie I'm making with iMovie '08, but I cannot figure out how. I am positive I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?

I was able to adjust the speed of clips in iMovie '06, but I just can't find where/how to do it in iMovie '08. Have I lost my mind or has this option been eliminated in iMovie '08?
You can within iMovie HD. You can't from within '08. (You can pre-edit a clip for fast or slow motion externally.)
And as a bonus question, if it has been eliminated, WHY?
It is not so much a question of why it might have been deliberately eliminated but a question of how to add it to iMovie '08. As has been said hundreds, if not thousands, of times already, this is an entirely new application editing in an completely new manner. Motion changes require re-rendering of the file to use it in a project. iMovie '08 does not do any rendering until the project (i.e., which is merely a set of instructions) is actually completed. In case you haven't noticed, none of the third-party special effect "plug-ins" are compatible with iMovie '08 either. Your best bet is to either use iMovie HD (v6.0.4 available free online to iLife '08 users). It is either that or learn how to create such effects externally with other applications like the JES Deinterlacer (free) or QT Pro ($30).

Long video clip challenge

I have a video clip that has over two hundred animated
elements, that I need to make selectable for the end user.
Is there any other way other than creating 200 individual
cast members, and then animating each cast members region to match
the elements in the background video. The problem is that my video
clip is 12 min long and in order to match the timing of the cast
member to the appropriate part of the video, I'm having to extend
the video sprite the entire length of the movie (about 21,000
frames give or take a thousand), does anyone know of an easier way.
By the way I'm using MPEG Advace extra with my MPEG 2 video file,
for what it's worth.
Thank you for any help,
Devin

With Mpeg Advance, you can save cuepoints wherever you want
to have
something sync up. Check the docs. There is a page about how
to use
them. I have used this to time external audio with the video
that is
playing.
You should not even try to sync stuff to a video using score
animation.
That will play at different speeds on different machines.
Just put
the Mpeg Advance sprite in one frame with a 'go to the frame'
frame
script. Have a behavior script on the Mpeg Advance sprite
that checks
for mostRecentCuePoint or cuePassed.
You could also use the currentTime property to sync stuff
without using
cue points.

How can I edit a video clip in PE and take it out of PE to use elsewhere?

I want to add edited video clips from PE to use in my photoshop slideshow. I would also like to use the edited clips in another programme, but I only get a file that can only be opened in PE. I have PE 4 and Photoshop 6.on a desktop PC using Vista.

Many thanks for your reply.
I have video thumbnails from my video camera in My Videos folder. I would like to edit them individualy and return them to my folder as thumbnails again.
I hope I have explained my needs properly. I have made a slideshow including video on photoshop, but I get lost with it on PremE so I have kept to the job on PhotoEl. It seems to work for me apart from the problem of editing the video clips. I have added audio to the slideshow, but when it gets to a video clip I lose the video's sound. I would like to keep that rather than the added audio (music) that plays over the stills.
As you have no doubt realised, I am a beginner and a pensioner. Would senility be an excuse?
Thanks again,
John

Working with video clips

Ok I obviously have some time on my hands and I'm getting ready to start using Motion more often the AE for projects so here is another question(s).
In short how do you make a still frame in the middle of a video clip that will hold through the remaining duration of the project. (i.e. batter swings and hits ball but now i want the motion to stop at the moment of contact).
Also I can't seem to find any section in the user manual that talks about the various way to manipulate a video clips timing.
TonyTony

Hi TonyTony
Let me address your 2nd question 1st. Have a look at a post a little further down the forum index called 'Changing the speed of a video clip' by Mr Myth - that should answer your timing question.
If you drop a video clip onto the canvas, and then click on 'project' on the toolbar to reveal the project layers at the side of the canvas, you can then click on the 'media' tab and set the end condition, so you can make the final frame repeat as a still image. (I'm working from memory here, as I don't have motion on this laptop I'm using, so someone correct me if I've got this wrong!)
Also, if you select the movie clip in the canvas (or on the layers view) you can then use the 'inspector' to adjust things like the in and out points etc etc.
Keep on plugging away at Motion - I'm sure once you get a grip of it's powerful features you will come to love it.
Also, Use the search on this forum to find topics starting with 'Fun with' and you'll find examples (incl projects) of just what you can do with Motion.
And look on the motion 'help' menu and do those tutorials - they are absolutely priceless.

Imovie for iphone - no picture with video clips

After upgrading my imovie app to fix the export problem, some of the video clips in my movie show only a black screen instead of the video. The video clips were all taken with the iphone and all played well within imovie before I upgraded the app and still play fine outside of imovie.
I have tried deleting the project and starting over and I tried removing the app and resinstalling, but niether of these resolved the problem. Has anyone else encountered these problems?
Update - the problem seems to occur only if I try to shorten a video within imovie. Since I have begun editing the videos before importing to imovie the problem hasn't happened yet.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. The movie starts with a 3 second video followed by several pictures then another 3 second video followed by the video I shortened 11 seconds to 7 seconds within imovie. When one video goes black, they all seem to go black.
But to your second question, I checked the adjacent transitions and all were set to cross disolve 1 second. When I changed the transition on the back-side of the first video to none, the picture within the video came back.
So I changed all of the video transitions to none and they all came back. Of course after doing this I had to play around a little bit and oddly enough so far the picture has stayed even when I switch the transition back to cross disolve 1 second.
So at this point I haven't been able to re-create the problem but if it does happen again I'm happy that I now have a way to get the picture to come back.
Thanks again!

I am trying to convert a video clip so that i can slow down the clip speed, but i keep getting an error -34. any ideas?

I am trying to convert a video clip, already in imovie so that I can slow down the clip speed, but I keep getting an error -34. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry
