Problem with slow motion reversed clips

Hi
I've imported clips into iMovie 11 and can apply slow motion through Clip Adjustments. When I try to do both Slow Motion and Reverse all I get is a still clip. I tried both copying an existing Slow Motion clip and tried to reverse it and tried applying Reverse and Slow Motion at the same time to a normal clip without success. I've tried it with and without Stabilization. Any ideas?

You are not alone! But I have not found a way to resolve the problem either! Could it be a fps problem?

  • Intermittant problems with slow motion and crash of Premiere Pro

    Many complain about Premiere Pro's instability.
    Since a couple of days I have the same problem. Every time I want to navigate from A to B, Adobe seems to either introduce a severe SLOW MOTION effect on it's own accord, that I never put in !!!, or it just CRASHES with an error message along the lines "Problem, Try again" or similar.
    This is utterly frustrating !!! I have been trying for over 6 hours today to get this remedied, but no luck.
    Looking back over the past days, the problems seem to have grown exponentially both in frequency and in duration.
    Of course, this is not about the program, but about the Premiere Pro Forums.
    Is there a 300-day refund period for Jives???
    I suggest you use that opportunity Adobe. This is

    OK, that makes sense.

    Symptoms:
    1. The connection has been reset, try again. Often after 15 minute waits.
    2. Nothing happens, just waiting for Adobe and even after 30 minutes, still waiting.

  • Slow motion, reverse playback and others

    Dear members:
    After doing some research that included help files for Final Cut Express HD and Apple's support pages I haven't been able to find a straight and definited answer to my question.
    I am trying to find ways to add slow motion, reverse playback and fast playback effects to my sequences in Final Cut Express HD but haven't found a way to do it. Some pages I found seem to indicate that these functions may not be available in Final Cut Express HD but they are not specific enough. I honestly can't believe that an application that is meant to provide professional results wouldn't offer these which are probably some of the most used effects in video.
    Do any of you know if and how these effects can be used with Final Cut Express HD ?
    In case it can't handle these effects, how much would an upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD cost if I am coming from Final Cut Express HD ? Is there an (reasonable) upgrade path ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    I'm sure you can do this w/ FC3xpress - although I haven't used that app in years- but you can try this:
    -Select the clip you want to add the 3ffect to then press Apple-J
    -That should bring up the menu where you can determine the new speed percentage.
    -If it doesn't have the Reverse checkmark option (I don't think it did in earlier versions) you can do a negative percentage to make the clip play in reverse.
    Also it looks like there is no way to upgrade from Final Cut 3xpress to Final Cut Studio
    You can upgrade from a few apps but Express isn't included in that list.
    The list is here if you'd like to see for yourself.
    http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

  • Slow motion, reverse, and speed up

    In iMovie 08, I cannot figure out how to make the video play in slow motion, reverse, or speed up. Is there any way to do this with iMovie 08?

    I tried downloading JES Deinterlacer and had a lost url... What to do?
    I have no trouble downloading last December's update directly from Jan E. Schotsman's Home Download Page. As to it's use, see if this Quickie Tutorial helps (I have been told it will either put you to sleep or provide enough information to use it):

    QT Pro ($30) also has limited use in changing playback speeds. See these Quickie Tutorials:

  • 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.

  • Hdv with slow motion does flicker

    I´m editing now some clips at 1080 i and I need to use some slow motion clips. I use speed at 60 % and also active frame blendding and all it´s ok and I haven´t any trouble with the video. But when I do render I can see a big flicker at the picture. I put some deinterlace or flicker filter and all beccomee good but when I do render another time and export the movie I can see the flicker. The trouble is like final cut can´t apply the filters because if I mark frame blending at speed and save it, when I open fcp another time the effects was not in this place.
    Sorry for my English

    Maybe it has something to do with HDV? Can you switch your sequence rendering to ProRes? CMD+0 to enter your sequence settings. Click on the Render Control tab. Under Codec, choose Apple ProRes.

  • Working with Slow motion (240fps) Sony F55 Raw mxf files

    I'm working on a project that uses both 25p files and 240fps slow motion files from a Sony F55.
    The problem is that when I add the slow motion files to my file list everything gets media pending, even the normal 25p files. If I delete the the slow motion files from the list the normal 25p gets back to normal behaviour, withous Media Pending.
    It seems that Premiere Pro cannot work very good with Sony RAW 240fps files. Is that I known bug? Is there a way to fix it?
    Thanks

  • Working with slow motion/mixed frame rates

    Hello!
    Just wondering what the best solution is for slow motion. The majority of my footage is shot on DSLRs in 1080 at 29.97fps, so this is my sequence and project setting, however, I also have some slow motion clips shot in 1080 at 96fps. I have tried selecting the slow motion clips to Modify, Interpret Footage, Assume this frame rate but for some reason it's not slowing down in the playback and the metadata is still saying the clip is shot in 29.97fps. Am I forgetting something?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Round Trip problems with FCP, Motion and 16:9

    Hello all-
    I've been having some problems with FCP5 and Motion 2. I am working with anamorphic footage (mini dv), and my problem lies in trying to use the "send to" feature in FCP to Motion 2. If I send some footage to Motion 2, edit it, and then go back to FCP to look at my edit, the anamorphic flag has been removed... the video is squished and there are black bars on the right and left sides of the film. I can easily fix this if I find the clip in the FCP browser and check the anamorphic flag, then drag and drop that clip over the original in the sequence, but I was wondering if there was an easier way. Is there a way to make it be anamorphic when it comes back into FCP from Motion 2?
    Thanks!
    Dual 1.8 G5/2GB & 12 PB G4/1.25GB   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Yes, it loses the anamorphic flag on round trip. Just
    ctrl/right-click on the Motion project in your
    timeline, select Properties/Format and click on the
    anamorphic setting column.
    Patrick
    Patrick-
    Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I've been doing, but I was just wondering if this was an actual bug or not. I guess we will have to wait for Apple to fix it...
    BTW- Whenever I check the anamorphic culumn, I always have to re-drag and drop the clip in the timeline again. Is this right? Or should it go ahead and change it in the timeline automatically?
    Thanks again!

  • When is Apple going to fix the problem with slow Time Machine backups with Mavericks?

    I have been with Apple tech support and they got my Time Machine working by doing a spotlight re-indexing and a safe boot.  This worked for about three days and I am back to very slow backups.  It is impossible for Time Machine to back up every hour when it takes six hours to do the back up.  I don't want to take hours to re-index with spotlight all the time.  I think taking six hours to do an incremental backup is a bit much.  I see that there are many people that have this trouble and it all started with an upgrade to Mavericks.  The question is when is Apple going to fix this problem of slow backups with Time Machine for Mavericks.  I have wasted more time than I care to.  I am think of going back to Windows.  I need good solid backups of my machine and Apple has taken it away with the new Mavericks. Oh, I am using the UBS 3.0 connection so the drive should not be the problem.  Also this has occurred in about the last five months, so I am not sure this problem was in the original Marvericks.

    Allen Thanks for your reply.  All I can say is several months ago Time Machine quit working in a reasonable manner.  Right now I have a Time Machine backup that has been running all night and still has three hours to go to backup 6 GB of data.  I am using a OWC 1.5 TB drive connected directly to my MacBook with a USB 3.0 connection.  In the resent past I have added Dropbox, GoogleDrive and a MAMP server on which I am using a program called Learning With Text from Sourceforge.  There have been a lot of questions on the forum about people having very slow Time Machine back ups, so it appears to be a general problem.  I should also state I am getting this very slow backup after doing the Spotlight re-indexing and the Safe Restart procedure that was told to me by apple support.  I have a 750 GB drive in my MacBook Pro which I am constantly trying to keep at a 5% level of free space.  This might be a problem also.  However, I am working on a lot of things and like to have a lot of things on my drive.  Also the heavily loaded drive has not be a problem in the past.  This slow backup business started about three months ago, so something has happen in a very short time period.  Now it seems even the procedure that Apple support gave me is not working.  Currently I am in China and it is difficult to interact with Apple support to solve this problem, but because I am in China having my computer backed up is critical. I have run the EtreCheck and am attaching the results below. I would appreciate any suggestions.  If necessary I will clear out more of my hard drive if that appears to be a solution.  The Time Machine drive was recently reformed so I only have a few backups on it.  I also don't run the Time Machine all the time as I don't want multi-hour backups running all the time.  I run it every few days.

  • Replication problems with slow ( 20kB/s line)

    Yesterday we noticed on our production database that replication did not run anymore because of an error in one record. This forced us to re-iniitalize the subscription. Maybe this is exactly what we should not have done but we did . The result was that
    production stopped because of the first part of the replication to dump all the tables and make new empty ones. The problem is that this does not seem a good idea for a slow connection between 2 machines. Better would be that we could just restart the replication
    from a backup but as far as I know this is not possible.
    So my question is now what can we do to speed up the replication if there is no way that we can improve the line quality. (One server is in NL and the other in CN, and as everybody know there is the great big firewall in Bejing which controlls all the internet
    traffic. )
    Is there a way to prevent replication from emptying the tables and fill them again.
    Many thanks Peter Kaldenberg

    I know that probably there is a problem with our firewalls but the fact remains that we are facing with slow connections so I ques what can we do at SQL level to speed replication or better not to have to do bulk copy over the net. In-fact why does SQL not
    use some kind of delta protocol. When only data is involved this should work. Of course when the layout of tables has been changed then it makes sense the tables has to be rebuild but not for data.
    Maybe a solution could be to use check-sum checking and only update these records which are different and of course add the missing once.
    Additional why does the replication not give information how far the bulk copy is at least then the user knows its still working. Now what ever setting I change after 10 min the replication does not give any useful information. Which results in that the
    user is thinking that the replication does not work anymore.
    What about 3rd party replication tools are they any better?

  • A really annoying problem with a button/movie clip

    I am having a problem with a button! its driving me insane
    because i managed to do it last week, but that was by chance and
    now i can't remember how i did it!
    I can get the button (i'm using gelright from the common
    libraries panel) and convert it to a movie clip(by pressing F8) and
    even attach a behaviour but when i play the movie it doen't work!
    when i move the curser over the button it changes into a hand, but
    will not act like a button, even though i have set the behaviour to
    'on release, go to and play keyframe 2'.
    Please help me, for the sake of my laptop goin through the
    wall!

    ok - you are running yourself around in circles - why did you
    delete it to the stage only to add it
    again? once you converted it to a movie clip, you had what
    you wanted on the stage - but then you
    deleted it and dragged another instance of the same symbol
    back onto the stage - there's no reason
    to do that.

    Right - this is expected because yoyu are now inside the
    movie clip timeline - not the button timeline.

    Right - because by double clicking the button symbol you were
    then brought to "edit mode" for the
    button symbol.
    but there were about 5 layers that showed the different
    layers for

    Huh? What "5 layers"? What do you mean "original" button -
    per your description there has only ever
    been 1 button you have been working with.

    Lost you completely now - what do you mean add the button to
    each heading? I have no clue what you mean.

    Still losing you here.

    That's because you are applying a behavior for a button to a
    movie clip instead.
    I think you went wrong when you converted the button to a
    movie clip - i have no idea why you did
    that or why to think your button needs to be in a movie clip.

    I just think you don't understand how timelines, symbols or
    buttons work yet in flash.
    1. drag a button to the stage.
    2. select it and open the Behaviors panel (dont double click
    it to edit it).
    3. add your actions.
    4. test movie.

  • Premiere "instant movie" with slow motion 60fps

    I'm recording at 60fps and using Premiere Pro. Is there any way to use a feature like the "Instant Movie" in premiere elements and have it either create the whole movie in slow motion or at least clips in slow motion?

    I just searched the user guide PDF and did not find "instant movie"

  • Problems with slow fps (or is my computer really that bad?) [solved]

    I'm having quite some trouble with my fps in games like StarCraft 2 (actually it's just here that I noticed it). Anyway I've decided to test how good my computer actually is using unigine heaven benchmark.
    And it's really bad. As I said I have slow fps in Starcraft in which fps is around 15, but in unigine it falls to average 4/5 depending on how I set it.
    While my computer is quite old, it's still not that old, and I don't have any problem with other graphically demanding games like C&C3 or Medieval 2: Total War.
    My hardware is:
    System: Linux 2.6.36-ck x86_64
    CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2310MHz MMX+ 3DNow!+ SSE SSE2 SSE3 HTT
    GPU: GeForce 8500 GT PCI Express 260.19.12
    System memory: 2008 Mb
    Video memory:  512 Mb
    (this is what unigine "shows")
    Also under "render" unigine shows this:

    OpenGL renderer: GeForce 8500 GT/PCI/SSE2

    Which, while I'm no expert, for me seems quite OK.
    So where's the problem?
    Is my computer really that old already?
    On the related note, sometimes KDE loses the window decoration or even more it just disappear. So it might be the nvidia driver (as you can see I use nvidia-beta).
    But I'm not sure if it's the driver or is it the graphics card.
    Thanks for any help. If nothing else you could at least tell your frame rate and hardware so I can compare if my computer is "where it supposed to be" or if something really is wrong with it.

    Well I finally found the glxgears, and the fear I always feared, but didn't mentioned it in my OP came true. FPS is somewhere near the refresh rate of the monitor, and my monitor is also a TV (or should I say primary TV) so my refresh rate is 50hz or up to 60FPS. So I guess the actual and the biggest bottleneck is my monitor and not anything else. Well yeah not that my other hardware is any good, but I could say that the low FPS rate in StarCraft 2 and in Unigine Heaven is due to my bad monitor.
    I can say this is solved, but not removed until I get a new monitor.
    Edit: Actually there is another thing, how come that while my monitor refresh rate is 60; FPS in both Starcraft  and Unigine are so much lover - instead of 60FPS there are from 4-17FPS.
