Questions about slow motion recording on the iPhone 6 Plus

I took a couple of slo mo videos and they look cool, but there are a few things I don't understand.
The frame rate I took them at is 240 fps.
In an online article, I read the slow down speed is just 1/4th. But if the regular frame rate is 30 fps isn't the slow down 1/8th? I think that is true, because a video in the "recent" album says "8 seconds" but actually plays back at 64 seconds, which is 1/8th speed. And it's 64 seconds long after I upload it to YouTube.
One question is whether there is an easy way to see the actual playback time other than doing the math?
Another question is I understand there is supposed to be some way of editing the videos so you can adjust which parts are slowed down and which parts aren't. I can see how to trim, and I see the narrowly spaced bars (normal speed) and widely spaced bars (slow speed) but I don't see any way of adjusting those.
Any hints about this? Or other slo mo recording any editing hints?
Thanks,
doug

End result after talking with AppleCare.
1. Yes, if you record at 240 fps it is 1/8th speed.
2. There is no way in either Photos or iMovie on the iPhone to see the playback time! Just the time it took to record the video.
Doesn't it seem that people would want to know the playback time of a video?
I have submitted feedback.
I figured out how to edit the spacing of the real-time vs slo-mo portions. So that's no problem. But there is no way of knowing what the playback time is other than editing it on your computer or uploading it to YouTube or some place like that and see the result. Or manually timing it I guess.

  • Question about Slow Motion and Running Times

    I am using iMovie '08 to help my boss make a video of the pump and suction cup assembly he has created. He asked me if I knew how to slow it down to a frame by frame type of shot. He also asked if there is any way to have a running time on the video both in real time and the slow motion shot. Can anyone help me?
    At work I am using a Mac Pro with 4 G of RAM and 2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel processor.

    iMovie 08 was primarily designed for SIMPLE editing.
    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.

  • I have a question about my plan due to the iphone.

    I plan on ordering the iphone on Feb. 3 which I am eligible for and whatnot.
     Anyhow once you receive the iphone and activate it can they just switch over the plan I already have?  I have the 39.99 Voice Unlimited data 29.99 and 10 text. 
    I also have a discount through my work.  If they don't switch over the same plan that I already have how does that work? Do they just need to apply the discount to my new plan and verify that I still work there or something?

    It doesn't matter whether or not you have the cheapest or most expensive voice and text plants, smartphones require a data plan to be eligible for a discount. It should be the same for the iPhone 4.
    As for any work discount, I don't think you need to do anything to continue to receive it. I receive a discount for working with the government and I didn't need to do anything when I changed my plan a couple of times before.

  • When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage it is terribly slow to attach photo or take a photo the app does not show camera and slow... like 2 mins at least.

    When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage and then attach a photo or take a photo... the app does not show the camera fully or even to attach a photo does not work. I have about 8-9000 phones and like 10 short videos in there but it is incredibly slow and almost unable. I have the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus with 46 gb still available. I think this should not be so slow with so much memory still available. Please help. I am using 8.1.2. Yes I have set up the phone as a new phone. Apple store even reformatted this iphone 6 plus 2 months ago but it is still terribly slow Thanks

    Hey Bender1031,
    Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    - If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    - If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?

    It does not cover my question about in what order does the sync work?
    Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
    Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
    What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
    If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device?
    What are the keys to the different types of information?

    Hi I have answered you questions inline below:
    Does the first signed on computer copy its information to the cloud?
    Yes when you first set up the account or when you first add a device to the cloud, if it is not the first time, it will merge with the other data
    Does the second computer/pad/cell then download the information from the cloud overwriting the information on the second device even if some of the information is different?
    By default it merges. There is no option to change this.
    What happens to the information on the second device that is not in the cloud?
    It will sync at the next sync interval if that data is selected to sync.
    If you delete a record (eg a bookmark) from the second device how does it then delete it on the first device? What are the keys to the different types of information?
    It resolved the entry the next time the first and second device syncs. Can you elaborate on the second part of this question?

  • New Sequence Question - for slow motion video

    Hi,
    I'm a very new user of Premier.  I've recently had issues with choppy playback of my preview videos.  After much research I believe the issue was down to two things.  Firstly my sequence did not match my input clip, I had it set to my desired output.  Secondly, I was editing video across my network, rather than bringing it locally to my PC.  I've fixed the latter issue by copying video files to my local machine and then moving them back onto the network once I've finished editing.
    The advice out there essentially seems to be to match your sequence to your primary input video.  I've done that and it helps.  However, it's raised a big question for me.  My input video is from a GoPro and is at 1080p 50fps.  I ultimately want my output video to be slowed down to 25fps (resulting in a constant slow motion effect throughout the entire sequence). 
    If my sequence settings are set to match the input clip (50fps) and I slow the video down by 50%, will that result in an unsmooth video?  My basic understanding is that if I slow 50fps video down by 50% then Premier will have to double the amount of frames.  Where as previously, if I slowed it down by 50% Premier had enough frames to play with as the output video was 25fps.
    Hopefully my question makes sense!  Any advice on what the best approach is?  Or is this a complete non-issue when it comes to exporting the video (providing I export to a 25fps formart)?
    Thanks,

    I think you said it OK, you are just missing the right words to do what you want. Let's walk through this for you, and for others that might read it later.
    If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a sequence created from it, then slow it down 50% it doubles up each frame to achieve slow motion. Not what you want.
    If you take a 50 frame per second video and put it into a 25 fps sequence, it drops half the frames to play at normal speed. Not what you want.
    What you want to do is interpret the 50 fps video to 25 fps, then drop it into a 25 fps sequence. Each frame will play at 25 fps and generally be smooth as silk.
    I don't have any 50 fps clips handy, but here are examples of taking 60 fps to 30 fps. (Excuse the idiot way that we Americans do things. Our 30 is actually 29.97 etc)
    First, right click on the clip in the Project Panel, select Modify, and Interpret Footage. Then change the 50 to 25 - similar to this image:

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

  • What is to be done about the iPhone 6 plus bending

    I pre order the iPhone 6 plus and yet to have my item but on searching the internet it's came across that the iPhone 6 plus is bending why being in your pocket.
    now being a builder I will be cancelling my order if it don't her something is to be done to fix this problem.

    This is really disappointing news.  I have seen the you tube videos showing simple hand pressure destroying the iPhone 6 Plus.  I have been waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus on order with BestBuy but honestly, this thing just bent so easily that I don't know how I can justify $1000 on a phone that is very likely to bend on me with just normal use.  You shouldn't have to put your iPhone into a military case just to keep it from bending with normal use.  I was just going to buy a silicon case to help protect against drops.  But that won't stop it from bending based on what I saw in the demonstration video.  Maybe its the curved edge combined with the pliability of aluminum alloy and the weakness where the volume controls are.  Maybe the volume controls should have been smaller and round to make it stronger.  I'd certainly rather it be heavier but unbendable.
    I really miss Steve Jobs.  I don't think he would have let this phone go to market with such an easily detectable flaw and I think he would have been more demanding about bringing out a phone that truly wowed the world after such a LONG wait for the new update.  I was happy with the iPhone 6 Plus overall but I truly think Steve would have had it to market sooner and with more WOW, and without bending like cheap junk.  I know the phone is not junk but a fatal flaw like this makes it just about as useful as junk.
    **** I miss Steve Jobs.

  • I accidentally deleted part of an iphone (4s) note. Is there a way to restore the deleted text? I learned too late about being able to shake the iphone in order to undo my action, so is there any other way?

    I accidentally deleted part of an iphone (4s) note. Is there a way to restore the deleted text? I learned too late about being able to shake the iphone in order to undo my action, so is there any other way?

    Restoring a phone from a backup will put the device back to the state it was when the backup took place, i.e. all info that you had on that phone before using the backup will be gone.
    You could try to restore the phone, which will back up the actual data on the phone, including the passcode, and use this backup to set up a new phone with. The passcode will still be the same, because it is  part of the backup.
    More info here, iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    Not being able to fill in the passcode is not much different from forgetting it.
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Can I use the IPhone 6 plus in Canada if I bought it in Japan

    I am living in Japan for 4months.  I want to buy the IPhone 6 plus. But can I use it in Canada when I go back

    Hello!

  • Tracking number for the iPhone 6 Plus

    My card was charged last night for the iPhone 6 Plus order, and there was a tracking number generated for my order. However, it starts with 1Z047V, and I couldn't track it on Fedex's website (it says the tracking number is invalid). I searched the tracking number on Google, and it appears to be a UPS tracking number, but I couldn't get any information on UPS' website either. Anyone knows about this situation? Thanks!

    Same as mine. You should get an email later with the tracking number again and it will list UPS Business 2-day delivery. It won't show up on the UPS site until after midnight or after it has been picked up/scanned in. Hope this helps!

  • Does the iphone 6 plus actually bend

    I heard that the iphone 6 plus is bending with regular use. I have ordered the iphone 6 plus and just wanted to know if anyone has actually found that the phone bends. If anyone who used the 6 plus can please help me out i would really appreciate it. I am a student and have been saving for a long time to buy this a new phone I just don't want to buy a phone that could potentially bend if maybe i sit on it or if it falls.

    Hi,
    like many people I was opposed to the negative press.
    however........
    I really must tell you of a case. I have had a number of iphone 6 models over the last few weeks and they have all gone back for a number of issues. Overheating, broken speakers, dead pixels and buttons sticking.
    I got an iPhone 6 plus that works in the end. All was good until I met with a member of the family for lunch who wanted to ask me about his iphone. He has the iPhone 6. This phone was not only bent but also twisted!
    I Am OCD about my devices. He is even more so than me. His phone was in a case and tempered glass protector fitted. Having heard the news the phone was never kept in a pocket at all! I really must stress this point, he is one of the most honest people I know.
    Anyway, we took the phone to the apple store in Liverpool One. The manager saw the phone was immediately shocked at its condition. Was sent to Genius Bar to get the situation sorted out. A big fat NO. Our warranty does no longer cover and bends or distortion of the handset! However, for £290 we can remedy the situation for you! After a lengthy discussion with the technician and the store manager they were adamant they would in no way assist without taking £300 off of him. They stated they had never seen a bent iphone 6 before which is baloney as have seen a number of people return them for the same issue. He is now stuck with a phone that is worthless! No re sale value whatsoever!
    As a result I have returned my phone and purchased a phone from a rival manufacturer!
    Having been an apple customer for over 15 years I am absolutely appealed by this. Appalled.

  • I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

    Hi Delecee,
    You can easily do that by downloading the music before you get to that area of weak Wi-Fi and cellular signal by downloading the music directly from the Music app by tapping the cloud button next to songs. The other option is to sync the music with iTunes over USB to have the songs downloaded to your phone. Take a look at the links below to get your music downloaded to your iPhone.

  • What is the status of the iPhone 6 plus 128GB pre-orders?

    Does anyone know the delivery status of the iPhone 6 plus 128GB pre-orders made within the first hour on the verizonwireless.com website?  I fully completed the process online for a silver iPhone 6 plus 128GB and received three indications of a 9/19 delivery date (an order summary webpage, an order confirmation webpage, and an order confirmation email with the correct phone upgrade order).  My online verizonwireless.com account doesn't show any orders (in the past 120 days), but when I put in the pre-order confirmation number and my last name I get the message "We received your order and it is in process. Expected Ship Date: Not available at this time"  During Friday and Saturday the date showed 10/14 (not even the 9/19 on the three confirmations).  The question is what is the real delivery date, and was the pre-order really even received?  Is there a Verizon rep online that might be able to check if I provide the necessary numbers and tell me what is the status of my pre-order?  Thanks anyone for any assistance.

    Thank you so much for that information! That is great news! And the first straight answer I've been able to find!! And it makes sense!! I was able to start my order around 2:57am and then with some confusion over losing my unlimited plan & having to choose a new one I probably didn't get the order in until around 3:15-3:20....But my confirmation email didn't come through until 4:55am and I know I was definitely done ordering the phone WAY before then! So I bet they did the first cut off at 4:55 then sent out confirmation emails for those who made the cut! Phew! It's all making sense now thanks to your information! I ordered the 6+ 128gb in gold btw and I can't wait, my 4s is still 3G and it's long overdue for retirement!!
