Slow/fast/reverse problem

sorry if this has been posted before. when i try to apply this effect it does one of multiple things. it either renders and then the clip turns black and won't play, it wont render at all, or the clip renders and then when i click to play it it plays the previous clip instead of the one i rendered with the effect. any suggestions or fixes? is this a bug or virus? also i lost an entire video project out of nowhere. i had it saved on an ext. HD and when i clicked the file it just dissapeared and now i cant find it anywhere. any thoughts would be great. thanks in advanved.

welcome fiestacitykid to the  boards ...
update your Public Profile.. I assume, your project is located on an external harddrive, right?
ext. HDD have to be erased/formatted BEFORE usage via the Disk Utility (Utilities Folder...) to 'MacOsExtended' ...

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Video FX slow/fast/reverse

    Hi again,
    I am having trouble with the slow /fast setting in FX.
    When setting the speed if I try to change it there seems to be no way to do this without returning to the original state.
    I am sure this was possible in past I movie versions, you could just change the speed at any time during the editing stage.
    Am I missing something?

    if your project is located on some external harddrive, it has to be formatted to "MacOsExtended" with Disk Utility, otherwise strrrange things coudl happen..

  • 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

  • PD 16.5 SP03 PL03 slowness after reverse engineering

    Little background:
    We were using PD 16.5 SP03 PL01 and faced a lot of problems like error messages, exception error, slowness etc. I was recommended on this forum to apply patch PL03 to solve the problems. I have applied the patch PL03.
    Current Problems:
    (1) When we try to reverse engineer even one single table, first PD becomes very slow and if we don't save and continue to work, we will get 'PDShell not working' message and PD will just shut down.
    It doesn't matter how big the table is, it might have 30 columns or it might have 100 columns. It definitely becomes very slow once reverse engineering has been done.
    (2) If we are creating a new entity in LDM or a table in PDM and we are working on it for some time meaning adding 30 attributes. After a while, it will fail to save and you have to restart PD. If you are working on existing model, doing some modification work then it's fine. But the moment you start adding entities/tables, attributes/columns, it will fail to save eventually so we have to be careful all the time and to save frequently i.e. after adding 3-4 attributes/columns, because we know at some point it is going to fail saving and we will have to restart PD and that is very time consuming.
    I was hoping the latest patch PL03 would have solved these problems. We have a couple of other colleagues facing the same problems, so it's just not me.
    P.S.: We are using Teradata V14 and PD version is 16.5.3.3 and it's 32-bit.
    Is there any solution for this problem? Is it a common problem?
    Thanks,
    Perry.

    Thank you Benoit!
    Downloading now.
    Btw. concerning the PD crashes: it turned out to be a problem with hardware accelerated graphics.
    I ran PD from a Windows Virtual Machine using VMWare Fusion.
    VMWare Fusion supports hardware accelerated graphics in the VM - if and only if you the VMWare tools running inside the VM are properly corresponding to the VMWare Fusion version hosting the VM.
    For me this was not the case, since the VMWare tools did not properly auto-update.
    As a result, with 3D hardware acceleration activated in the VMWare Fusion Settings, every program that potentially makes use of hardware accelerated graphics (PD, Visio, Internet Explorer etc.) crashed.
    Not sure this helps anyone out there. But if you are facing PD crashes and also face crashes of other programs like Internet Explorer or Visio, malfunctioning hardware acceleration might be the cause of it.
    Cheers,
    Florian

  • Slow motion, reverse playback and others

    Dear members:
    After doing some research that included help files for Final Cut Express HD and Apple's support pages I haven't been able to find a straight and definited answer to my question.
    I am trying to find ways to add slow motion, reverse playback and fast playback effects to my sequences in Final Cut Express HD but haven't found a way to do it. Some pages I found seem to indicate that these functions may not be available in Final Cut Express HD but they are not specific enough. I honestly can't believe that an application that is meant to provide professional results wouldn't offer these which are probably some of the most used effects in video.
    Do any of you know if and how these effects can be used with Final Cut Express HD ?
    In case it can't handle these effects, how much would an upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD cost if I am coming from Final Cut Express HD ? Is there an (reasonable) upgrade path ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    I'm sure you can do this w/ FC3xpress - although I haven't used that app in years- but you can try this:
    -Select the clip you want to add the 3ffect to then press Apple-J
    -That should bring up the menu where you can determine the new speed percentage.
    -If it doesn't have the Reverse checkmark option (I don't think it did in earlier versions) you can do a negative percentage to make the clip play in reverse.
    Also it looks like there is no way to upgrade from Final Cut 3xpress to Final Cut Studio
    You can upgrade from a few apps but Express isn't included in that list.
    The list is here if you'd like to see for yourself.
    http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

  • 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?

    No OC, Timings = by SPD, DRAM Frequency = Auto (200/400)

    "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

  • Fast forward problems with Zen Touch (1.01.03 AND PlayForSu

    Device: Zen Touch

  • 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.

  • Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

    I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
    As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
    Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
    Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

    (I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos.  When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
    The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
    Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
    Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
    Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
    As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then  you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
    I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

  • Slow motion, reverse, and speed up

    In iMovie 08, I cannot figure out how to make the video play in slow motion, reverse, or speed up. Is there any way to do this with iMovie 08?

    I have no trouble downloading last December's update directly from Jan E. Schotsman's Home Download Page. As to it's use, see if this Quickie Tutorial helps (I have been told it will either put you to sleep or provide enough information to use it):

  • Firefox 31.0 - slowness and script problems for using websites

    Since Firefox 31.0 is released, some technical problems of slowness and script problems to use
    websites have been noticed from mine. Sometimes it needs up to some minutes to load a website
    and sometimes there are error messages for an unanswered script.
    pemigabo123

    Hello FredMcD,
    thank you for your message.
    But your answer to my question at support.mozilla.org is not helpful,
    although it is a professional technical answer from a Top 10 Contributor
    from mozilla.
    It seems that there is a permanent unfixed problem always if a new
    version of mozilla is released. After all fixed problems of the earlier
    version of firefox, there is no problem at all.
    But if I am already working with the non-problem earlier version of
    firefox, then suddenly the problems of error messages, slowness and
    script errors are appearing, and if I have looked for the actual version
    of firefox, there was signed a new version and now I have known,
    aha a new vesion of firefox was released and it needs up some time
    for every new version until the error problems were fixed.
    Maybe it is combined with the plugins like flashplayer or shockwave.
    But a professional version of firefox should not sign up error messages,
    because of plugins, while working with these plugins.
    Another answer from another support.mozilla.member was for an
    overload problem, because of opening some windows of firefox.
    But to open many windows of firefox was already no problem with the
    earlier version firefox 30.0 or earlier, until the error messages are fixed.
    The same unfixed problems are since firefox 25.0 up to 30.0, but I was
    wondering for how long version 30.0 was actual in practical working.
    And since version of firefox 31.0 was released the same problems
    of error messages, slowness and script errors were appearing.
    At the moment it seems firefox 31.0 works alright.
    But only the following time shows if it works without error messages,
    slowness and sript problems or not.
    In hope to give a helpful answer to yours
    kind regards

  • Video FX- fast/ reverse/ slow problems?

    Why is it that when i slow down the speed of a clip, it seems to jitter/ shake just a bit? Is that how it is supposed to happen.. Shouldnt the movement be smooth?
    Thanks!

    We wish!
    At 29.75 pr 25 fps iMovie has to show each clip for a bit longer than normal, hence the jitter.
    Professional slow motion is shot with a high speed camera, perhaps as much as 10,000 fps. Played back at 25fps gives the slow motion effect.

  • Problem with slow motion reversed clips

    Hi
    I've imported clips into iMovie 11 and can apply slow motion through Clip Adjustments. When I try to do both Slow Motion and Reverse all I get is a still clip. I tried both copying an existing Slow Motion clip and tried to reverse it and tried applying Reverse and Slow Motion at the same time to a normal clip without success. I've tried it with and without Stabilization. Any ideas?

    You are not alone! But I have not found a way to resolve the problem either! Could it be a fps problem?
