Problems with Fast/Slow/Reverse Effect

hey, for whatever reason when i apply the fast/slow/reverse effect on a clip, it won't play back. and when i apply the effect to a clip i have cut into sections it cuts the entire clip i wanted to 'slow mo'

Have you got an isolated hard drive with ALL of the required applications and other resources together with the operating system ? Using an external HD to SAVE a running iMovie project is asking for problems. Back up the Project on another HD sure, but don't use System on one HD, running files on another.
Hope Helps,

Audio Problems with Fast/Slow/Reverse Effect in iMovie HD

I have been having problems with the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect in iMovie HD with my movie clips. Whenever I apply the effect (reversing at the same playback speed, not sped up or slowed down), when it is finished rendering the audio is choppy, yet on time (but still backwards, as wanted). Before applying the effect, the preview of it works flawlessly, it is only when it is applied that the audio gets choppy. Extracting the audio will not help either because the video will still be playing backwards while the audio will be playing normally (since it can't be reversed on its own). I have tried other effects on the same clips that don't effect the audio and they work perfectly. Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate your help! Thanks.

Can't "Apply" Fast/Slow/Reverse on some clips

I have some clips in my timeline that I cannot change the speed on. This typically happens with a clip that I already edited in some way. Particularly when I have already altered the playback speed on it before. When I try to do this now, the Apply button is grey and won't respond.
Anyone know how come? Thanks

I have a somewhat similar problem. For a while now, I haven't been able to apply any Fast/Slow/Reverse effects at all. I can select the effect, and even preview it in the main window, and when I click apply it even takes a little while and shows a progress bar while it "renders" the effect. But when it's done, I'm left with a clip with no thumbnail (in the timeline) that, when played, just plays what was there already, but since it extends the length of the clip in the timeline, the whole rest of the timeline is off from what the movie actually is.
I'm using iMovie HD 5.02
Anybody run into this before, or have any ideas?
Thanks

Even faster "fast/slow/reverse"?

I'm looking to play a video clip of clouds in super fast motion. The fast/slow/reverse effect shortens about 60 seconds to 12 but I want it to go even faster. Any ideas? Thanks.

Os use JES Deinterlacer for Slow, Fast and Reversed motion:

Fast/slow/reverse

when i apply the fast/slow/reverse effect, my video gets 'herky-jerky' and slightly blurred.
How can i fix this?
I recorded using the built in isight, and saved to a Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) drive.
Thanks in advance!

Matti Haveri, who posts on this forum, pointed out that iM6.0.2 renders deinterlaced vido when it exports to iDVD, so the motion in the fast/slow reverse effect is jerky when watched on an interlaced TV. You may be experiencing a carry over of that bug.
If it is that bug, Matti's suggested work around is to use the freeware program JESdeinterlacer to render smoother fast/slow/reverse. Check out the following site: www.xs4all.nl~jeschot/home.html#DEI
Or, to use iM4 if you still have it on your computer.
I use iM6.0.3, and my speed-up effect is jerky in preview playback, but seems to render O.K. when burned and played on an interlaced TV. So perhaps the bug as fixed or ameliorated in 6.0.3.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

Hi, mjarrott
My system is Windows 7. (GB Ram 8.00 on a Dell Optplex 980) And Photoshop is my newly purchased in Portuguese, because I'm Brazilian. The problem appears when I try to use the Filters menu - finishes - lighting effects.
My old version worked just fine ...

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.

Problem with fast forward of trackball in media player of 8330

I'm a fairly new BB owner of a Sprint 8330 Curve. I've checked the newbies site on Crackberry and checked here also. Can anyone help with this problem:
I've downloaded some MP3 audiobooks from my local public library. They play fine, but the problem is that it always starts at the beginning every time. The book is in multiple parts, each of which is 60 minutes long, each of which is treated as a single song. I can see the reverse, pause, and fast forward buttons but I can't get the trackball to work with them.
When I scroll the trackball to the right to fast forward, it scrolls to the next part of the book, not within the same part (song). When I scroll the trackball left, it goes back to the last song. When I scroll it up or down, the whole playlist shows up on the screen and I can scroll through those.
I found one post that talked about how to fast forward video, but it showed a different screen that mine.
I just can't get the trackball to position itself on the progress bar or on the controls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I've got the same problem with my BlackBerry 8330. I have v4.5.0.169 (Platform 3.4.0.51). Once i start an audio file, I am unable to select the scroll bar above the play so that I can fast forward through the song, book, etc.

Problems with monitor -slowing down MAC

Hello, I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.5) and am trying to connect it to a Hanns.G HL 193 monitor. I already have the apple miniport to connect with the VGA monitor cable. However, when I plug it in, the mac becomes veeeery slow (the arrow won't even move correctly) and the monitor just won't light up. The monitor works fine with PCs. The Macbook seems to recognize it, as I can see it in the "displays" option, but it just wont allow me to make it work. What are the exact steps i need to take to make this monitor work? Could it be a problem with the model?
Thank you

amurta,

Problem with Blur filters in effects browser

Has anyone had a problem with the blur filters? Whenever I try to skim or apply any blur effect it freezes the viewer. Other effects are fine. Other functions of FCPX still work ok. The audio is ok, skimming works etc but the viewer is frozen. FCP then hangs on shutdown and requires a force quit, but relaunches fine. I have trashed FCPX permissions, repaired permissions for the OS, repaired the HD and redownloaded the application all to no avail. I also have FCPX installed on another startup drive and it does the same thing there. My computer is an iMAC 27 inch I7 with 4 gigs of RAM runing 10.6.8. FCPX is version 10.0.3.
I did open a copy of the zoom blur effect in Motion and the only unusual thing I noticed was that there is a project loop end marker set at frame 1 of the project. Don't know if that is a factor. Any help greatly appreciated!

I am refering to any of the blur category filters in the effects browser. I think there are like 6 of them sharpen, gaussian, prism, radial, and zoom. What happens is if I select a clip then go to the effects browser and scroll over the filters I will initially see a preview as you are supposed to. But very quickly that stops and if I go back to the timeline the viewer is frozen showing the previously selected clip. All the rest of FCP works normally ie you can scroll the timeline, select clips, use the tools etc. Only the viewer is frozen. You have to force quit FCP and restart to get back to normal. None of the other effects in effects browser cause any problems.
I said in my first message all the things I have tried unsuccessfully. This one is a real puzzler for me.

Problems with importing to After Effects

Hi,
I can't get my Motion projects imported into After Effects. I have read the manual and done exactly as instructed. When i try to import my Motion project file into AE, I get an error message in AE saying: "files of type "mofo" are not supported. I have no idea where the "mofo" comes from, since the projects are .motn format.
I was wondering if anybody else has same kind of problems, with Motion and AE?
The Motion version I am using is 3.0.2 and After Effects is the CS3 version.

Yes this is a known problem and has been discussed a few times on this forum. It only started being the case with CS3 unfortunately. The only work around is to rename the Motion Project with a .mov on the end of the name, and import to After Effects. This works but means that the very handy feature of 'edit original' stops working, and i've also noticed a number of instabilities (crashes etc) introduced as a result.
We have to hope they'll (apple and adobe) fix this in a future update.

Interlace problem with fast pans, camera moves... any advice?

Hello: I have a video project, edited in FCP (from SD DVCAM tape source). I exported as a standard 4:3 Quicktime movie, and then encoded as H264 video using the multipass 3ivx codec in Cleaner.
I now get a blurred horizontal line on camera pans. The blur appears as a broken line on the lower third of the picture.
Should I not tick the "Adaptive" box?
I have tried using the de-interlace Eliminate Top Field and the Interlace Auto settings. In both cases I ticked the adaptive box. In both cases I still get a blurred broken line in the lower third area of the video on camera pans.
I tried a third experiment using DVFilmMaker. I set it up to de-interlace only on movement, and to blur horizontal lines on Motion (thinking this might help to at least give a more natural look to the picture break-up I was already getting).
Alas, no improvement.
Yes, if I had a time-machine and extra bucks I would have shot Progressive... but I didn't... so I'm trying to get the best out of what I have.
Any thoughts... anyone?
Thanks
A

Thanks for the info. Just for the record, I have tried all these things too in Compressor, QTPro, Cleaner and DVFilmMaker. I get the same problem with all (a blurred line on fast camera pans)
My preference for Cleaner (and it's only my opinion) is that it has a more intuitive user interface for correcting gamma, color, image size, bit-rate, without having to search or go to multiple menus. You also see the video as it encodes and visually check any problems with gamma, etc. You can also do a visual before/after check. I guess it's the devil I'm used to.
Thanks for all the info re. alternatives to Cleaner... but it's not really addressing my original (and existing) problem.
Thanks

Problems with numbers, slow and scroll up and down with hik-ups?

imac with lion and have problems with numbers, slowly although i have an i7 8gb 2 TB Imac 27inch. what seems to be the problem?

The problem is that iWork apps were coded with feets not with brains.
We just may hope that the next upgrade will be coded a better way.
