Slow/fast motion?

I am a super beginner with imovie but im getting pretty good at it and im almost done with my movie but all i have left to do is make something in slowmotion and something in fast motion. does any one know how to do that and can explain 2 me how?

That is not possible within iMovie '08. Here is one way of doing it:
- Select just the section of the video you want to slow down, and export it as a Quicktime movie.
- Download and install iMovie '06 from Apple. It's a free download for iMovie '08 owners.
- Create a new project, import the clip, add it to the timeline.
- Find the slow motion effect, adjust the speed of your clip.
- Export result back out.
- Import edited clip back into iMovie '08.
- Splice it into your iMovie '08 project.
There will be some quality loss as you will go through some format conversions along the way.

Music video slow/fast motion?

Hey, I'm looking to start shooting some music videos, and I had a few time related ideas, Im looking to see if I'm thinking these through right, or if anyone has any tips to help.
My basic kit is a Panasonic GH2, and final cut pro x.
So the first idea was to replicate the old "super choppy" effect we saw in a lot of Busta Rhymes videos in the 90s. Where the performers seem to be moving extraordinarily fast, but they are in sync with the music. I heard the effect was acheived by slowwing the music down during the filming, while the performers mimed through the song. Then the film was sped up to synchronize with the original audio.
So now to do this in the world of FCPX...
Slow down the music to 40% and shoot my synchronized performance at 24fps.
Then put that footage into a project at 60fps, and then "conform" that footage to the 60fps.
This should speed up the video by 2.5x and (come awfully close to) sync with the original audio
Right?
The second idea is the opposite.
Speed up the music 2.5x and shoot sync'd performance (which will be really hard I imagine.) at 60fps
Bring that footage into a project at 24fps and conform the footage, stretching the time out into super slowmo
slowing down to the speed of the original audio?
My math seems to work, but if there's any clever way to do this quick and right it would be very much appreciated.

I was about ready to throw my system out the window about 75% through.... Its for my brothers band and he was actually still working on the song and ep as I was working on the video and we both finished right about the same time.
This is my first foray into music videos and heavily composited ones at that. I know the next one will be so much easier.

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?

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.
Thank you.

Adding Effects like slow motion, fast motion etc...

On the old imovie you could add animations, slow motion/fast motion, and other graphics to clips. How do you do the same with imove 08 most important the slow motion feature?

I'm currently using iMovie 08 and I would switch to iMovie 06 but when I try to install it but the message "Please install iLife ’08 before installing iMovie HD 6" pops up. My computer went through a hard drive crash recently and when they replaced it I thought they popped in iLife '08 (hence being stuck with iMovie 08) but i dunno... suggestions?

Slow-Motion/Fast-Motion.

Just wondering if there is a way to gradually slow down a clip from keyframe to keyframe, as in add a gradual slow motion from one point to another not just an immediate slow down and that being the same speed between the two points.
Also is there a way to do this for fast-motion as opposed to slow-motion?

If you are referring to the Time Remap filter (...thanks Ian...) you can see the result only in the canvas: make sure you +always render+ the clip after applying or changing parameters, in order to see the final quality (without rendering, you can get very unusual results... even with RT Unlimited).

How to best achieve slow motion and fast motion

Hi - I am new to the forum and a basic user of Premiere Pro CS5. I am working on a project shot at 24 fps, and would like to do slow and fast motion.
From what i understand there are 2-3 different ways to do this in Premiere - choosing speed/duration of the clip from timeline, or choosing time remapping form effects panel ot using rate stretch tool. Wondering how do these compare and which is better - any pointers for this will be great help. Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere. Or any recommended plugins that would work on cs5 and cs5.5. Thanks.

The main difference between using time-remapping and just using time-stretching is that time-remapping allows you to change the speed quite flexibly at different times in the same clip, whereas stretching just changes the rate for the whole clip.
See this page:
"Change speed and duration for one or more clips"
> Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere.
After Effects has far more control, especially with regard to how new image information is created between the original frames when you change speed and require frame interpolation (frame blending). Pixel Motion and Timewarp use a very advanced motion vector method (based on the Foundry's Kronos software) for doing this.
See "Time-stretching and time-remapping".

Fast Motion unsmooth shots ; PLEASE HELP

as when shots are in slow motion...fast motion creates shaky ghostiness too with the footage (i wonder how technologically incorrect that term is).
how do i reduce/fix this eye-piercing problem when i increase speed of my footage.
please help.
deadline imminent.

If you shot this footage with the wrong shutter speed, however, there's not much you can do to make it look good in slow motion.
If that's the case, I've found that doing motion blur on it after the fact can help...

FAST MOTION? Ya know, like Charlie Chaplin-esque?

So I'm shooting some video off a Sony HD handycam, it shoots 1080 at 60, normal speeds, good quality, it's nice. It already does the slow-mo golf thing on its own, but the reverse of that, the fast-motion, is not an option! If I wanted to shoot fast-motion a la Charlie Chaplin or something like that, but even faster, can I do some sort of an effect in iMovie to make that happen from normal speed footage?
Thank you for your expert advice.

iM08 has no slowmo/faster feature.. iM09 has.
for iM08 users, try this free workaround, described on my site.. :

(for faster, use a number >1.0)
additional 'options' to make it more 'chaplinesk' on

Slow/Fast/Reverse DOES NOT WORK

I have read other posts on this issue. When I attempt to apply this effect, it does not work. This is a new project in iMovie HD 6. Clips will not take this effect. It shows up in the preview fine but will not apply. Below is what I sent Apple. Any and all help (solutions) appreciated. Is anyone else using this effect successfully in HD 6?
I select a clip (it is selected), click on the Editing tab, then click on the Video FX tab, and then select the fast/slow/reverse option. I am correctly using the slider to slow the clip down just one tick past the default position. The effect shows up in preview but will not apply. The red progress line (that indicates the effect is being rendered) shows up for about a tenth of a second and then stops. I am using the latest version of iMovie (6.0.3). I have a Dual 2 Ghz G5 Tower. I have 1.5 GB of ram. I am using OSX 10.4 8. All my software is up to date.
The camera I am using is a Sony VX2000. Never had a problem with iMovie 4 and 5. I have two internal drives. I have an external drive that is for backups only. All three are Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format. The drive i am capturing to is the original drive that came with with my computer. It is 160 GB. 147 GB is free. I keep this drive clean and only for current projects.
I did have some plugins installed for iMovie from GeeThree. They are the updated versions for Intel and PowerPC running OSX 10.4.8. Again, all software is up to date. I did remove those plugins from the plugin folder. Also, I have ran Disk Utility and permissions are fine. I have not removed the preference files yet (plist) because I wasn't sure which ones to remove.
A third thing I did was to create a new project (after unstalling the plugins, restarting, using Disk Utility), reimport some footage and see if the slow/fast/reverse effect would work then. It did not work. I then saved all my current work and saved to tape. I NEED THIS EFFECT TO WORK! Please who can solve my problem? Dinner is on me!! LOL!

In addition to Karsten's great advice...

SLOW, FAST, TURBO, ULTRA TURBO

Hey Guys
Nice forum....Just have to get used to it. I find the searching isnt as good as the lats one but look gr8.
Anyways I have just got 1024MB Corsair PC3200 2-2-2-5 RAM. Its amazing made my PC so much faster and timings have made it so responsive.
Anyways I have a 875P motherboard like you can see below but in the BIOS I can select different options (Performance Options)
SLOW -> FAST -> TURBO -> ULTRA TURBO.
What exactly do these do? On my last generic RAM I had it on FAST and not have it on TURBO. Is it worth goin onto ULTRA TURBO? Also how kinda effect with these setting have on the life of the PC.
Cheers guys

Here is a review, there is also a lot there to take in but,
http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/memory/corsair_twinx3200xl/page3.php
The settings you are referring to are associated with PAT.
There are different levels of PAT, if you choose slow, is it off in CPUZ?
FAST
TURBO
ULTRA TURBO
CPUZ will report PAT to be enabled on all of these settings but it may not be fully enabled.
ULTRA TURBO = FULLY enabled PAT mode.
Run this program to tell you the level of PAT
ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/ctiaw.zip
Extract it to a folder, run the lowercase version.
See what PAT level it is running at.
Then change modes and run the program again.
What it does, going back to the INTEL link,
The setting adjust the memory/chipset timings to achieve higher system performance.
It should not be a problem if you have good memory.
Now is this starting to make sense

Neo Bios 1.6 and Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra Modes

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra modes in Bios 1.6 on the Neo boards?
The only mode I can get to work is the Slow mode. On all the rest, Win XP boots OK, but when I would run programs, the screen would lock for a few seconds, then come back in low resolution stating I had an unspecified "device failure", and I had to restart my computer for it to work properly.
In any case, I have no clue what the difference is between modes. I was able to complete a 3dMark test while in Turbo mode, and compared it with one run in Slow mode, and the differences were minimal.
Can anyone enlighten me?

"Slow" disables PAT/MAT and reduces the chipset bus frequency to 66Mhz (quad pumped)
"Fast/Turbo/Ultra-Turbo" Overclock your video card!!!
If you set your memory timings manualy or use a ratio other than 1:1 there will be no difference between Fast/Turbo/Ultra-turbo (only difference being "by SPD" memory timings) -as far as i can tell
There maybe other differences but not found them ....yet

Slow/fast/reverse in video effects

Hi I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?

I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?
Download and used the complementary copy of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want special effects/third-party plug-ins. iMovie '08 has no command structure for the threading of delayed third-party rendering modules. If you must use iMovie '08, create your special effects as either pre- or post-edits.

Question about "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo"

Ok, on the 875P Neo board, what does "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo" do to the settings in the bios? Ok "slow" is probably default (shouldnt they just call it "default"?)... but what will the rest SPECIFICALLY do to my system?

No one knows for sure, MAT is enabled in 1.6 on turbo and ultra turbo, it also seems to use more agressive memory timings - the sisoft sandra scores at turbo and ultra turbo are excellent.

Adobe premiere cs6 - wave in fast motion

i have to cut 1min of 30m TV broadcast
in original ts clip (25frames), the fast motion is very smooth
i tried to cut and export into h.264 format, the fast motion shows full of wave
even i tried to set
higher bit rate
2 passes
possible to cut without re-rendering?
Thanks a lot.

i tried to open the exported video (h.264) in premiere CS6, it is OK
But when playing original clip (ts) and exported video (h.264) by media player at the same computer, the exported video is full of wave.
is it a problem with codec, player....?
how should i do to best keep the original quality? Thanks.

Importing HDV into iMovie, playback turns into fast motion

Everything was going fine..
connecting, recognise the jvc ji hd100, importing the hdv 720p 50/25 clips,
but then when playback, i found out the clips imported was in fast motion..
tried most combinations i can possibly think of,
also changing the cam settings,
didn't work out tho.
stil trying hard..
anyone? many thanks!

Before importing JVC HDV 720p you must select HDV 720p in the 'Create new project' dialogue box:
..otherwise it will play at double-speed!
(..That's because the JVC version of HDV, i.e; 720p, uses single "progressive" - i.e; entire - frames, instead of two interlaced fields per frame.
The fast playback is caused by iMovie playing two frames one after the other as if they were fields. If you choose 720p before importing, all should be well..)
