Re speeding up track then slowing down

Hi..
I have a battery toy ... which I have recorded the sound from. This goes on to an animation and I need the track to distort and speed up and then slow down as for winding down... any help please would be very welcome.
Also it goes underwater from time to time.....

Sort them by cpu usage and if there are programs that are taking up a massive amount of cpu, then you should quit those apps. If you are watching videos on the internet (especially youtube videos) that will take up a lot of cpu.

Copying speed of files has slowed down significantly

copying speed of files has slowed down significantly
and if initiate two different copy processes then it slows so much that 1 GB data takes time like it was 15GB

Again, it depends on file types. Sometimes Apple files are not single files but packages of many smaller files, for example the iPhoto Library. Right-click in Finder, if there's "Show Package Contents", then it is technically not a single file.
For simple file transfer from one machine to another per USB drive, it can save some time to zip the data before and after transfer to and from the USB drive.

How much free disk space do you have and how much memory do you have, running which operating system? Need that information to have any basis to make recommendations.

Export progress bar speeds to 50% then slows way down

While I'm here browsing for answers to another question I just asked, thought I would ask another one about a project I worked on at home...
Home computer specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
AMD Phenom II 6-core 3.2ghz processor (overclocked to 4ghz)
16gb 1600mhz RAM
Nvidia GTS 450
Plenty of hard drive space, all 7200rpm internal
So my problem is with exporting... I was working with a 30 minute wmv file...and really all I did as far as editing goes...was cut off about 5 minutes from the beginning. That's it. No graphics, no effects...nothin.
So I proceed to export it as a wmv, I used stock settings because I honestly didn't care about the quality, I just wanted it done fast. Estimated file size was less than 100mb I think... The export process began
and speedily finished 50% of it in about 10 seconds and then slows to a crawl, where the time remaining was now going up 1 second at a time instead of down. By how slow it was going, it was probably going to
take about a half hour, which is bs for exporting to a crappy file type with low quality settings. My work comp has lower specs than this computer, and it exports 30 minutes of my avchd footage in the same amount
of time...
This seems like Premiere has an issue with certain file types here.
Any help?

yah i was thinking the same thing, the 2 pass is what is causing your timing dilemma, 50% was just the first pass analysis. The rest is the real rendering process.
Being crappy video with a crappy codec has nothing to do with speed, if anything it is going to make it slower. You didn't say how long it actually took to render out your video? With WMV i am guessing it is not multithreaded well and not using all 6 of your cores. try turning off maximum quality on your encoder and check your wmv settings, it is just a container and gives you lots of codec choices. it certainly is not the fastest thing out there but it appears you are being forced to use it anyways?

Internet speed in Snow Leopard slows down because of connected External HDD

I have two external Iomega harddrives that I connect through FireWire 800 to my MacBook Pro 17".
I noticed, when the harddrives are plugged in, safari lags and slows down tremendously. As I eject my harddrives from my MacBook Pro, the internet miraculously comes back at normal speed. The harddrives are just mounted, no data is being transferred.
I am not sure why this is, or why external harddrives would bother my internet connection. I am connected through my Airport wirelessly to my home router. Other computers get wireless internet fine as I notice this problem with my MacBook Pro.
Anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it? I notice restarting sometimes helps, but this problem comes back after awhile.
Also while I am mentioning this, I also notice the internet slow down when the MacBook Pro runs on battery. Anyone know why this is, and how to fix it as well?
Thank you, and Happy Holidays to all!

I do not notice any connection between my external harddrives being connected and internet connection no more. So that is good.
What I have been noticing though, is my MacBook Pro at some points loosing connection to the internet. The Airport icon in the menu bar says it is connected to my wireless internet at full reception. But at times Safari and Firefox are just not working. I try reseting my internet routers and the problem still exists. It comes down to me having to restart my MacBook Pro, which seems to fix the issue.
I have a iBook G3 with Tiger, and a Dell laptop with XP, and they both receive wireless internet fine when in use. And this is while my MacBook Pro is not.
I am not sure what the issue is now. Right now I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to fix this besides contacting apple and using my applecare.
Is there any internet connection problems similar to what I just described I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

Since upgrade to 10.6.7, fans speed up and never slow down

I have an Intel iMac, 2.8 GHz i7, 8GB RAM
Just as the subject line indicates:
After upgrading to 10.6.7, when my iMac starts to heat up, the CPU fan RPM will increase but it will not slow down until I reboot - even if I allow ample time for the machine to cool down and let it sit idle for hours.
Right now, the CPU temperature is only 100 degrees F, utilization is at 1%, and the very loud CPU fan is still running at 4000 RPM.
I've reset the SMC multiple times, and this doesn't help.
The most telling aspect is that in the seven months prior, the fan would slow as the machine cooled off. Not so with 10.6.7
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

Resetting the SMC was my first thought, but you have done that. You might also try resetting the PRAM/NVRAM:

After that if the issue persists, I would call AppleCare.

Photoshop fast in morning and then slows down

Hey everyone. I hope someone can help me with this because I haven't found anything on Google. At least, nothing that works. When I first get to work in the mornings, the big banner files I have open very quickly. However, after about an hour goes by, Photoshop slows down and everything takes so long to open. Any ideas on what might be causing this and how I can fix it? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Yup, definitely sounds like a memory problem, but if you post information about your system, OS, 32/64Bit, Photoshop version etc, someone may be able to give you more detailed help.
I'm assuming that MikeJones11x was talking about an SSD (Solid State Drive) in his answer above, and he's right, adding an SSD to a system with give you a huge performance boost, but you need to be careful.
Never use an OS/Apps SSD as your Scratch Disk; if you want your Scratch Disk on an SSD, install a second one, which is what I've done in my own system. Another thing to be wary of is the Controller in an SSD, depending on whether it's being used for the OS/Apps, or as a Scratch Disk.
This is a fairly complicated subject, and I won't go into any more detail in this reply, but if you'd like to investigate this further please either post a reply here, or e-mail me, I'll be glad to help if I can.
Good luck

Ipod starts to update songs, then slows down ...then wont udpate at all :(

I know this might be previously posted, and if it is I'm sorry but I couldn't find it!!! I have reset factory settings, saved songs and completey erased itunes and started over...It still happens though. I have 725 songs exactly, but it seems like when it gets around 500-515 songs (not one inparticular) it slows down and wont hardly load anymore. Most of the time it freezes and I have to start over, which doesn't help either. PLEASE ANYTHING PLEASE???

anyone?

Why does iTunes rip the first part of a CD quickly, but then slows down for the last few - Why?

I am trying to rip CD's into iTunes so sync with my iPhone. When I currnetly rip the CD, it will rip the first 10 tracks in a matter of moments at 40x. However, the last 4-5 tracks take forever - up to 20 minutes per track. This has happened on multiple CD's and only with the v11.0.1.12.
Any advice out there?

In attempting to burn a playlist onto a new CD, iTunes seems to burn about half the tracks then shuts down and issues an error msg. (4900) - although that msg. has rec'd a lot of attn., there does not appear to be an adequate or workable fix or suggestion

In attempting to burn playlists onto new CD's, iTunes regularly completes half the burn, stops, ejects the CD and issues error msg. #4900. Although there appears to have been similar problems for some time, I cannot locate any suggestions for fixing the problem. I have installed the newest version of iTunes but that does not appear to have any effect on the problem. Thoughts?

I had the same problem after updating my DVD-Drive Firmware.
Disabling the Option to burn "CD TEXT" solved my problem. Hope that helps !!

How to slow down and speed up a track in an arrangement re remix query

Hi, I've been asked to do a house/dance remix for a track where the client wants the track to start at a typical dance bpm and then slow down to the original track tempo 2 minutes in, then speed back up to the dance tempo...here's an example...around 1.20 mins is where you'll see this happening...

How do I do this in Logic 9? I'm clueless...

you can set tempos in the Tempo List which is under the Options menu. In That window there is another options menu where the tempo operations window lives. You can set locators between which you can do tempo fades up or down.

Time mapping in Logic? Want to speed up\slow down track.

I've used time-mapping in Final Cut. But never in Logic. I've got a LOT of slowing-down \ speeding-up to do on a score that will be mostly midi \ sample instrument based.
Could someone point me to whatever it is called in Logic?, and are there choices of how to do it? Complex vs. easy? I vaguely remember finding it tricky in Logic to create a click-track 'after-the-fact' to match a piece of audio.
All ears,
Ben

Hi Erik,
I've got a Bach piece I've midi'd, written in rather than played (it would take me days to learn to perform it decently). There are no dynamics in the piece.
I want to add the dynamics. Volume\velocity is easy. But I also want to start the performance slow, speed up, then slow down.
If there is any 'real' audio I will add it after, so that's not an issue, I'll just follow the scored track.
What I need is the easiest way to control the speed of the performance ... speeding up, slowing down incrementally (rather than just abruptly changing the tempo). I remember the 'beat-mapping' now, as something you do after you've recorded a live-audio piece. I also remember it being really tricky to work with.

Graphite slows down then speeds up

My graphite BS (one of the very first ones) has worked great for many years. Recently, in the past month or two it has started being very very slow then going back to normal speeds then slowing down. It seems to be random--I see no patterns as to time of day, number or types of machines connected, sites being browsed, or anything else. The signal strength is always maxed out, so it's not that. If it just never connected, I would say it's done for, but sometimes it's very fast, sometimes painfully slow. Can it be slowly dying?

I have a snow ABS, but I'm experiencing the same issue. It's worked fine for years but now here recently my internet speeds are tanking. I have a 5 Mbps cable modem but repeated bandwidth tests show that I'm getting 500 Kbps speeds or less on my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. This isn't a Leopard issue because I'm still running Tiger on my iMac G4 which is plugged directly into the ABS and I get similar speeds with that. I also don't think it's a connectivity issue because I have a strong signal (3 bars usually, 4 bars sometimes) on the PowerBook, and as I said the iMac is plugged directly in. Now when I plug the cable modem directly into the iMac and run the same bandwidth test I get speeds in the 4.3 Mbps or more range.
I'd love for there to be some setting I could tweak to restore my speeds to their usual level. Any help would be appreciated. If not, I may have to break down and cop a new ABS. Probably will go for the Airport Extreme even though my PowerBook can't take advantage of the 802.11n speeds. I also have an Airport Express on the network for iTunes streaming to my stereo and it can only do 802.11g. I thought about getting another one to replace the ABS but I can't plug the old iMac directly into it. So I would have to pop in an 802.11b card to get it on the network and that would really kill the overall network speed. So an Airport Extreme should give me 802.11g speeds with my setup, and then if I ever upgrade to a MacBook Pro ... and if Apple ever releases an Airport Express that supports 802.11n I would be in a position to get top speeds. My only concern is will I fork over $180 for an Airport Extreme only to find that it gives me dismal internet speeds as well? I hope the problem is that my ABS is just old and starting to wear out. It has been running constantly for years. But could it be something else that a new Airport Extreme won't address?

Really stuck with speeding up and slowing down clips

Hi gang,
I have been reading the Final Cut manual for the last hour and fooling around with my clips, but I can't get the effect that I want.
I have a clip (CGI of a star field moving towards the observer) that I want initially to be frozen, then I want the clip to accelerate rapidly, and then end at about double normal speed. I thought I would be able to use keyframes and specify the playback rate at given points, but that option doesn't seem to exist. I have been playing with variable and constant speed settings, but these don't seem to work either.
Ideally, the clip would go like this:
1) first frame of original footage is frozen for 2 seconds.
2) the original footage then begins playing, accelerating rapidly from frozen to double speed over 2 seconds.
3) remainder of original footage plays at double speed until complete.
I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I can't get it to work!
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers!

Dude, I have the same problem. I found a picture/text tutorial on how to slow down, speed up and reverse all in one clip w/o chopping it up, but it was for FCP 4. I have 5 and when I ramp the green line down it speeds up, doesn't slow down. Is it just me or is the effect changed from FC4 to FC5.
I'm looking for a great video tutorial for FC5 or similar on how to slow, speed up and reverse a clip using the Time Remap Tool in FC.
If it's a DVD I have to buy so be it.
Thanks everyone.
