Remove slow motion quicktime

When I open a video make with gopro a 120 fps under the timeline( in quicktime) there is a timeline for the slowmotion that show me automatically the video in slowmotion. I don't want this and i'd like to know how i can remove it.
Quicktime 10.4, Yosemite, macbook retina 13(2013)

I know this....but is like close the eyes to don't see the problem.....i need 120 fps.
Had hoped the original poster might provide additional information regarding why high frames rates were required in his or her workflow but not needed for their normal intended purpose of creating ultra smooth slow motion effects as such information might lead to better alternatives than those already provided. However, as three days have already passed, I thought it time to recap this issue for the benefit of other users who might be interested.
BACKGROUND: The basic problem seems to be the fact that the ability to record high speed frame rate video has become more and more common on various consumer recording devices. Originally used by professional and top of the line prosumer devices to provide slow motion sequences during editing, this capability is now available to the average home movie editing enthusiast using the current QT routines built into the latest Mac OS X v10.10 and IOS 8 software. Frankly, I am at a loss to understand why some users are opposed to having these features available to them at the QT X and mobile QT player level. For any persons not familiar with this feature, here are some captured screenshots:
Yosemite QT X Player
IOS 8 Photos App Player on  iPhone 5s
As you can see in each of the images above, when the QT player software recognizes my 720p120 GoPro video file and automatically displays a secondary playback control bar below the standard controller. This controller allows a user to set "in" and "out" points for slow motion playback. In the case of the sample above, the movie begins playback at 120 fps, plays the middle segment at 30 fps, and then switches back to 120 fps for the final video segment. Thus, these players can be used to preview slow motion editing potential. By adjusting the position of the "in" and "out" markers, a user can play all, some, or none of the video clip play in slow motion. Such previews can even be shared as "proofs" with other Yosemite/IOS iCloud users but since they contain the original source data scripted with slow motion playback data/instructions, they are frequently too large for emailing as simple attachments to anyone else.
Such player content can even be saved as a mini QT Player "project"— i.e., saving the file copies the clip as currently edited to a new file container which is paired with an additional AAE (described by the Finder as a "Slow Motion Video Sidecar") file. The AAE file appears to be basically be a PLIST file containing "slow motion" playback data/instructions which I assume represents the embedded modifications to "shared" videos. Here is an image of such file content:
Sample AAE "Slow Motion Video Sidecar" File
It should be noted that these slow motion files apparently cannot be directly exported from the QT X v10.4 player app—or rather, I was not able to do so. (I.e., files exported normally but without any slow motion effects.) However, it is a relatively simple matter to "share" a "com.apple.AVKit.Share" file to the Mail app, drag it to the Desktop, and then re-encode the file as an M4V file suitable for many uses using the built-in system encoder. I.e., export result is a 30 fps file retaining both normal and relative slow motion playback segments. This is a handy, although less accurate, alternative to the use of professional or dedicated video editing software for the creation of slow motion clips to share with friends and family or distribute as "proofs" to clients. If you research the internet, you should be able to easily find several articles and forum topics complaining of the lack of such basic, built-in support for such clips over the past few years.
In any case, the QT X player can play the 120 fps files with or without applying any slow motion effect. Other players like QT 7, VLC, NicePlayer, etc. avoid this issue by simply ignoring the significance of such excessive frame rates and attempt to play the files at their original frame rate by dropping frames as needed to keep up with the data throughput. Therefore, I can't really attach much credence to the idea that the previously posted suggestions "is like close the eyes to don't see the problem" and that the "need" for 120 fps files here (without explanations) may be less of a "need" than indicated. As previously stated, the recording of content at 120 fps (or greater) is normally performed to comply with specific future editing requirements and its indiscriminate use is just a waste of file space and battery life for the average "videographer" who simply thinks that "faster is always better."
BASIC RULES OF THUMB FOR NON-PROFESSIONAL USERS:
Use high frame rate recording modes if you think there is even a remote possibility that you will be creating slow motion clips/segments from your recorded content AND you have sufficient storage media AND battery life to handle the project at hand.
Use the most current QT X or IOS 8 media players to quickly preview or share high frame rate clips with slow motion effects without having to access professional or dedicated video editing software.
Use the most current QT X or IOS 8 media players to create and save slow motion settings that can be recalled later.
Use a professional or dedicated video editing app to create and/or share slow motion project content where frame accuracy and/or fluxing is paramount.
Use an alternative media player to preview high frame rate clips when viewing content at its original frame rate AND it is too much trouble for you to adjust these players for non-slomo playback (i.e., a single swipe of a finger or clicked mouse). But remember that higher frame rates and higher resolutions mean higher playback data rates which may make playback "choppy" at best on some systems. (E.g., my 720p120 sample file has a data rate on the order of a VC-1 encoded Blu-ray disc.)
Hope this post may be of use to amateur videography Mac users contemplating the use of newer, high-speed video recording devices and how to use the basic support now available in the latest Mac OS X and IOS 8 operating systems as part of Apple's QT X modernization program.
Happy New Year to All,

  • Quicktime plays video in slow motion

    Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
    I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
    Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
    Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?

  • Help! Movies from iPhone 5 play in slow motion when opened in Quicktime on PC

    Hi there,
    I was hoping someone may have the answer or have encountered this problem as well, as I have been unable to find anything on it elsewhere on the net.
    I have transferred some movies, taken on my iPhone 5, to my PC. However when they are opened in Quicktime (as recommended) they play in slow motion.
    However, the sound still plays at normal speed.
    I have already tried going into the QT settings where you can speed up the playback, but this doesn't work either, no matter how fast I set it to - they still play super slow.
    Although they are taking up heaps of space, I am worried to delete the movies off the iPhone in case they have not copied over properly and I lose the originals!
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Matthias, thanks for your response!
    We are running on Windows XP, is that what you mean? I will try and download the VLC player and see what happens. Are iPhone 5 movies higher res than iPhone 4, as we can play those?
    If it is the system, do you know whether or not if I save the movies to our PC, then transfer than to another computer, should they play ok? I just don't want to delete them off my phone and have them permanently slow, iykwim?
    Sorry if my ignorance is showing - I'm not overly tech savvy when it comes to this stuff!
    Many thanks again!

  • Quicktime goes to "slow motion"

    Hi all,
    I recently switched to the iMac and can't quite deal with all the tweaks and quirks of it so I would love all the help I could get.
    When I watch videos using quicktime (either from an external drive or from the Internet) the clip sometimes goes to "slow motion" and the audio disappears. Is there anything I can do to resolve it either in the settings of the quicktime or the Leopard?
    I am using a 2.4GHz processor with 2GB RAM (as well as broadband) so I am baffled by the low performance.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tal

    I have the identical machine listed in your profile.
    Those QuickTime settings you mention are only for files served from streaming server software. Like the Macworld Keynote QuickTime file.
    They make up less than one tenth of one percent of online videos.
    The original poster must give us more information about the files. Post a URL or use the Movie Inspector window of QuickTime Player to tell us more about them.

  • Videos play in slow motion using quicktime 7.7 with Iphoto 08'

    I have several HD videos from my Sony NEX-3 camera that will not play very well from within iMovie.  They freeze up, or run in slow motion while the sound track continues without any problem.  I've seen other related comments on this forum, but no one has suggested a fix yet.  I can play my clips just fine from the finder menu using "Quick Look".  Other videos from the same camera work, what has changed?

    After some tinkering, I discovered this solution.  It worked for me, and it was pretty easy....go to system preferences and look at the bottom of the screen for your list of OTHER options.  I had an icon for 3ivx MPEG-4, so I clicked on it and selected the option that reads "I would like 3ivx to decode all of my MPEG-4 videos.".  Now everything is running smoothly again.  Hope this helps anybody else with this situation!

  • IPhone 6 Plus IOS v8.1 Slow Motion BROKEN

    Film in either of the two slow motion speeds and plays back ok on phone.  I put the files in the computer (grab the raw file via explorer), on Win 7 Professional, and played with both windows media player AND Quicktime player (up to date players) and the videos play either no slow motion, plays alternating between fast and slow, one time it played slow but had normal voice pitch, other times played slow with low voice pitch.  On youtube, they don't play in slow motion.  One I shot vertically (which I did just as a test) and it was sideways in the computer, however, youtube rotated it so it's vertical but it is not in HD and it does not play back in slow motion.  This same file that was sideways in my computer stopped playing after about 2 seconds in the computer, but played through ok in the phone.  I noticed that as the video plays in the phone, there are blue vertical lines below the left/right scrub/scroll bar for the video.  This can be set to play only a portion in slow motion.  But WHY does it start each video with the ends nudged in so the first 3 sec is regular speed and the last 2 are also reg speed also w/the slo-mo in between?  It defaults to this each time an you have to spread it out to get all slow motion..
    In Win XP, some of the video files don't show up.  It shows .aae files with corresponding numbers to the videos, but most of the videos are not there.
    I think this is a huge software bug that needs to be tested.  I updated the os on my new phone before I put anything into my phone.  Everything else has been perfect till this.  HELP!

    You said, "...plays back ok on phone."  That's where Apple's software stops.  Your problems with Win 7, Win XP, Quicktime, and YouTube need to be addressed on forums for those programs and/or sites.  Presumably the issue has already been resolved by users on those sites, with different solutions for each.

  • Slow motion / fast motion in Premiere Elements 13

    I read that in Premiere Elements 13 fast motion (and I think also slow motion) ist removed. Is that correct. And if yes: Is there any workaround available?

    rr
    Thanks for the reply.
    Great information. If you have been using Ctrl+R, that is the keyboard shortcut that brings up the Time Stretch dialog.
    Time Stretch (use of the Ctrl+R) has not been removed from Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace.
    Like Premiere Elements 11, Time Stretch is found in the Expert workspace and not in the Quick workspace.
    When you use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+R, I get Time Stretch dialog from where I can create the slow or fast motion effect in the selected clip.
    The following relates to Premiere Elements Timelapse Capture (Stop Motion) which has been removed from
    Premiere Elements 13 as a specific feature that you see in Premiere Elements 11 and 12.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Capture stop-motion and time-lapse video
    Please let me know if you are OK with the above information.

  • IPhone 6 240fps slow-motion import

    Hey everyone,
    I understand when I import the clip into Final Cut Pro I choose 30fps, and then click on the clip and set it to automatic speed. Then I will get my 240fps slow-motion.
    2 issues though.
    I would like to have the same effect as Quicktime Player opens the file for me. Starts in normal speed and then transfers to the slow-motion. I could probably build this with speed ramp, but is there an easier way to just have it like that already?
    Second issue, when I set it to automatic speed, I do not get the sound from it. In final cut pro x it sounds really weird then, just very high sounds (rain), but in Quicktime Player and on my iPhone I really hear the deep sound when the raindrop hits the ground. Any idea how to transfer that sound or how to get it?
    Probably needs an upcoming update FCPX?
    Edit: Now when I would like to export in QTP to YouTube I do not get the slow-motion either, it's just like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkk1DfTcgn0

    There is a misconception about the "slow motion videos" in iPhone.
    In fact, they *really* are videos recorded with a high frame rate (up to 240fps in iPhone 6).
    They are *not* in slow motion per se - even though the iPhone software may play them as such.
    In fact, I'll go so far as to say that there is no such thing as slow motion videos. There are videos played in slow motion.
    What happens when, say, you drop your 240fps video in a 24fps timeline, is that it plays at normal speed. This is as it should be!
    The big deal is that, since your clip has all those extra frames in it, you can use FCP X to slow it down (up to 1/10 the original speed in my example) and it will use all the real frames the camera captured. Plus, you can use all the retiming features in FCP X to obtain perfectly smooth slow motion.
    By means of comparison, if you slow down a video recorded at the same frame rate as the project it is in, FCP X has to make up extra frames that did not exist. Even though FCP X has some great algorithms for this (like "Optical Flow"), it can't match real captured frames.

  • When i try to do slow motion, program crashes

    whenever i try to do slow motion or hold or fast motion, final cut pro x crashes.

    check to see if it works properly on other clips..if it happens on any clip...
    trash the prefs   if that fails...
    remove any third party plug-ins   if that fails
    reinstall FCPx
    I'm assuming you're FCPx Events and Projects folders are on an external drive...if not...there may be some other odd conflict.  Dunno if there are any particular issues with FCPx on MBAir with it's graphics card onboard and all....

  • Slow Motion choppy

    I've tried to slow down a clip in FCP, and also did a trick with Compressor that's talked about in another discussion on here, and with both attempts, I'm ending up with choppy slow motion. What it's doing is holding on each frame for a period of time (depending on how much it's slowed down), instead of flowing smoothly between the frames and giving a nice slow-mo effect. Rather, it looks like a render job or something, frame by frame, da-da-da-da....and on.
    Does anyone have any idea as to why it'd be acting like this? The sequence is set to 29.97 - the footage was captured from a DVcam, firewire, 29.97.
    I got the tape from another person who filmed it - there's a chance that it was shot in 24p - could that be the problem? I took the tape and put it in my Sony Handycam to capture the footage. (I think the camera used to record was a Canon - a nicer, higher-end one, but not quite sure if it was 24p).
    Thanks for any help.

    I found out that the footage was shot at 24p with a Panasonic AG-DVX100. I was given the tape and captured it with my Sony HandyCam via firewire (hopefully that doesn't cause any problems - so far it looks good when playing back at normal speed).
    As far as higher frame rate goes, I am used to doing slo-mo in FCP with footage that I shoot with my Sony cam - at 29.97, and it doesn't behave like this.
    When I do the Compressor trick, it looks very similar to slowing it down in FCP, maybe just a little cleaner, but the timing and "pausing on frames" is the same.
    If I understand you correctly, I don't believe it was "pre-processed" by de-interlacing, unless that would occur in the way I made the quicktime or something (but I doubt it - I did it as you explained).
    Thanks for all the help.

  • 720p 60 fps slow motion

    I have a new helmet cam (Go Pro HD Hero). I have been playing around with the 5 formats for video. I did a 30 second shot with each of the 5 formats. FCP would not recognize 2 of the formats I tried to bring into Final Cut. The two formats are both of the 60 fps formats. Any thoughts? All captured as mp4.

    Ok so the 60 fps formats (resolutions) are not recognized. This seems so strange because the other 3 resolutions shot by the camera import just fine. The 60 fps are not recognized:
    1080p = 1920x1080 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate
    960p = 1280x960 pixels (4:3), 30 fps, 12 Mbit/s data rate
    *720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 15 Mbit/s data rate*
    720p = 1280x720 pixels (16:9), 30 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate
    *WVGA = 848x480 pixels (16:9), 60 fps, 8 Mbit/s data rate*
    Note this is in the paperwork with the camera:
    Video Format: H.264 compression, saved as Windows- & Mac-compatible MPEG4 (.mp4) file
    I am able to bring all 5 test resolution clips I made onto my desktop. They all play with Quicktime, MPEG streamclip.
    Here is the camera:
    http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php?area=2&productid=29
    1- I am having a hard time believing that 2 of these are unreadable by final cut pro. Thoughts?
    2- What format using Quicktime or MPEG streamclip do I export as?
    3- Any simple tutorials on Cinama tools for slow motion? - I have not used.
    This will be used on a vacation in a few days and the footage will be combined/edited with/in a movie with my standard 16x9 footage from my camcorder
    Thanks for the help.

  • Poor quality slow motion

    i have a montage of a wedding set to three minutes of music, all the slow motion video is choppy, when someone walks across the screen they appear to be stuttering. when viewed on the timeline the motion is smooth and just how i need it to be but when exported to apple intermidiate codec and burned via toast 9 the image is jittery, stuttering when we view it on our TV.
    Desperate for answers as the finished production should be inthe hands of the bride & groom next week?

    If this is a standard DVD, I think you'd be better off exporting a QuickTime movie from FCE and burning with iDVD. If you'll create the DVD on the same computer, leave the "self-contained" check box blank for a much smaller file and quicker process.

    Maybe some maintenance will help:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • Slow motion exporting problems

    Hi there I had posted a topic with this same problem a couple of weeks ago and got some great suggestions, but unfortunately have to report that nothing has worked! I have tried deinterlacing, got a plugin from the net which was meant to have smoothed the slow motion, all looks well in the FCP and also in the exported quicktime, so does anyone know why it looks terrible when I watch the dvd back?
    an example is that Someone took a photo of the couple I was filming, the flash looks square! And when I moved the camera around while filming, the edges of people look square. Have an idea it may be something to do with pixels, but I dont know what!
    I am really at my wits end trying to find solutions and am about ready to fire my mac out the window! Can anyone help and save the mac?

    It depends on the formats you import. Are you slowing your footage down -100%? make sure you have constant speed checked. Maybe your time remapping it.

  • Slow-Motion Examples

    Hi there.
    Does anyone know a place where I can find video examples of Motion 3's use of optical flow slow motion other than the FCS2 website?
    I'd also be curious to hear anyone's experience with slow motion on Motion 3. The example on the website looks better, but it still doesn't look great. I'm trying to figure out whether it's just because that footage is zoomed in, or if the optical flow technology just isn't that good.
    I really don't want to invest in Twixtor at the moment so I'm hoping to hear good stories about the program.
    Thanks.

    I've used Motion's optical flow and it was excellent. But YOU asked if I had anything posted or knew of any posted examples online and I don't.
    The great thing about Motion's optical flow is that you can dynamically play with the timing once the analysis has taken place. However as has been mentioned, it can create HUGE analysis files - this is to allow dynamic retiming - that are EIGHT BYTES PER PIXEL. So - 1920x1080x30x8 = about half a GIGABYTE per second for 1080i HD material.
    Because Motion also allows you to dynamically add to and move your clips around and speeding something up makes it chew thru more frames, it analyzes the entire clip, SO - the best way to handle this is to reduce the clip length to the maximum you'll be using by exporting a self contained quicktime from FCP and sending that to motion for optical flow retiming.
