SLOW MOTION 3

Hey Ya'll,
I have recently purchased the FCP2 and loving it (having been a fan for a few years now)....except for this thing called (slow-effing) Motion 3.
This program works so slow, it's almost impossible to watch. (I can seriously leave and go apply for a loan before it moves the frames that I ask from it.)
Does anyone know why this is happening -moreover how to fix it? I have been reading some threads lately on this same issue. But I thought I'd revive the issue, hopefully Apple will pick up on this. That or we can fine-tune it as a community.
Hope to hear from others out there...
(especially those with answers)
thanks!

The community doesn't really exist. We're more like a dysfunctional family than a social entity.

And all you got was me. So sad.
The issues we have as individuals with Motion are impossible to diagnose by remote control. After slogging along with Motion since v1, there are moments when my machine suddenly turns glacial. No explanation. Sometimes a relaunch solves it, sometimes a restart is required. Sometimes I must begin anew.
If you want to figure out how Motion works on your system, you start the same way we all did: slow, easy, small. You add layers, effects, elements, and levels of complexity. Eventually you begin to get a feel for how your hardware behaves and where the limits are.

  • Slow motion lost after sync from mac to iphone

    Hi,
    I can capture videos in slow motion but those videos play at normal speed once Sync them via iTunes.
    1. Capture videos in slow motion.
    2. The videos first play in slow motion in the iPhone. There is a time line slider to move the slo-mo effect back and forth.
    3. I do a back-up via iTunes including videos.
    4. After syncing, the videos in the iPhone appear in one album called "Slo-Mo".
    5. In the thumbnail of the video clip I can see the small dial icon that all other slow motion videos have.
    6. Playing the video shows a normal speed clip without the timeline slider under the video frames view.
    The videos DO retain the slo-mo "effect" in Aperture and iPhoto also. Not in the iPhone after syncing.
    Any hints to solve this?  thanks

    iPhone 6 iOS8

    Hi,
    iOS 8.1 didn't fix the issue so here is my workaround to " show-off " my slow motion clips:
    I have tried to open the clips with iMovie in the iPhone.  ( I guess not everyone has iMovie installed...?)
    So, you can create a new project in iOS iMovie and import the clip you want. Slow motion clips preserve the little dial icon so you can see which ones have the slo-mo effect. It will preserve the slow-motion sections of the original clip and will play "slow".
    If for some magical reason your clip doesn't play "slow" in iOS iMovie click on the small "tachometer" icon and select the desired speed.
    So. iMovie does know the clip has enough frames to play in slow motion... why the camera app doesn't ?
    good luck,
    jp

  • Slow motion on windows xp pro

    Hello,
    I'm on windows xp pro by boot camp and I have sometimes some slow motion. It's a problem when i'm listening music. I didn't find virus with avast antivirus and my computer used to be clean with Ccleaner and Spybot search and destroy.
    What can i do?

    I would post in the Boot Camp forum area here:

  • 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.
    Thank you.

  • SAP B1 Patch 42 GUI, Vista SLOW MOTION

    Hi,
    I just don't know if I'm alone with this.
    I didn't find any thread about it.
    I've successfuly installed SAP B1 2005A SP001, Patch 42 on Windows Vista Home Premium.  Everything works find
    Except
    When windows pop, its slow like hell.  You know this animation when you open let say Sales Invoice window.
    Well in Vista, it takes at least 10 seconds like if everything was in slow motion.  But when the window is there, everything still works as normal !
    Any idea ? Any patch ? Anything ?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Nice link but I'm not on version 10 but 42 and there's no error and no problem.  Just the GUI is slow.
    I don't think Vista is to blame but rather the poor SAP GUI which really need a fix since a LONG LONG time
    that would also probably fix the problem of .NET WinForms not sitting on top when called from SAP
    I'm more looking if someone knows something about it, a patch for the GUI or even a registry key that would disable the SAP window animation.

  • How can I flip my iphone videos on my PC? My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion

    My videos from my iphone are horrible when I transfer them to my PC. How can I improve the video on my PC? Can I just convert the files to WMV? When the video plays the speed is off, it's half slow-motion and staggers into normal play. The clips are slightly cut as well, the clips do not roll continuously.  I'm taling about videos that are no more than 2 minutes long.  I'm frustrated and I could really use some advice-my kids basketball games is what I'm recording and I'm trying to send them to my family (they are not very tech savvy). Thanks

    Not it's only function but one for which it was most admirably suited, which is why I really hope someone can find a work around. I am hoping my post to the Apple feedback may prompt a useful response from Apple and I live in hope that my post here will elicit a useful response from another user. I did not miss the the text at the top of the feedback form but you presumably missed my initial text, 'someone here can explain' or my subsequent 'work around from another user'
    Just in case anyone reading this has a large collection of music videos, video podcasts or iTunes U then DO NOT upgrade your iPad to iOS 5. If you are considering purchasing the iPad as a useful mobile device to experience these media organised in your iTunes please don't as you will be wasting your money. (unless someone on this forum knows of a way to undo the mess created by those infallible folks at Apple)
    Yes I know it does other things but the purpose I bought it for doesn't work anymore

  • 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!

  • HT4437 slow motion video to TV

    I have problems transmiting a video with slowe motion from my iphone 5s to my TV through apple tv. I just hear the sound. Do not see image. Any idea???

    Hi. After after trying too upload from the Facebook app, I found out that the video isn´t saved as a finished video. (you can still edit it)
    I used the iMovie  app to save the movie as new finished movie. Open iMovie , those video, select your video, click the share button i down right corner. Push create movie (I guess, mine is in danish) play the movie or not, push the back button, change the name or not, push the share button, save the the movie. Now you have a finished movie, that can be shared as any normal movie.
    Hope this helps
    Maybe there are other ways I don't know

  • Hdv with slow motion does flicker

    I´m editing now some clips at 1080 i and I need to use some slow motion clips. I use speed at 60 % and also active frame blendding and all it´s ok and I haven´t any trouble with the video. But when I do render I can see a big flicker at the picture. I put some deinterlace or flicker filter and all beccomee good but when I do render another time and export the movie I can see the flicker. The trouble is like final cut can´t apply the filters because if I mark frame blending at speed and save it, when I open fcp another time the effects was not in this place.
    Sorry for my English

    Maybe it has something to do with HDV? Can you switch your sequence rendering to ProRes? CMD+0 to enter your sequence settings. Click on the Render Control tab. Under Codec, choose Apple ProRes.

  • Is it possible to play back an After Effects composition in slow motion? (CS6)

    Hi,
    I'd like to play back the composition in slow motion so I can make sure the animations are smooth.
    I find that sometimes you see gaps in your animation when you play it back frame by frame but you only just notice that something might be off when you play the timeline back in real time. So this would be for "proofing" your footage. I find the frame by frame approach a bit tedious for a lengthy composition.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

    You can enforce a different framerate on the Preview palette.

  • 16:9 JES deinterlacer slow motion

    I am trying to use JES deinterlacer to slow down a clip but cant seem to get the output in 16:9. I have followed the instructions below and keep checking the 16:9 box but the output is always squashed 4:3. I've tried fiddling with the options and cant seem to find an answer.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    From JES instructions.,..
    Slow-motion and fast-motion: In JES Deinterlacer's Project tab select "Project kind: Standards conversion". Select "Custom" and set "Movie speed: 0.5" for 0.5x slow-motion, 2 for 2x fast-motion and so on for other speeds. You can select speed ratios in the range of 0.1-10x with 0.01 decimal precision (with v2.7.1 the 0.1x may stall and with 0.2x the audio is out of sync. 0.25-10x are OK). THEN set the other options:
    For NTSC use "Settings/Height: 480, Width: 720, Frame rate: 29.97".
    For PAL use "Settings/Height: 576, Width: 720, Frame rate: 25".
    Check "Blend" and let "Scale only" remain unchecked.
    In the Output tab set "Video output/Compressor/Export: DV Stream.../DV Format: DV, Video Format: NTSC/PAL, Scan Mode: Interlaced, Aspect ratio: 4:3/16:9, Audio Format: Unlocked/Locked, Rate: 48.000 kHz".
    Let "Progressive (out)" remain unchecked. (Leave the other options as defaults).
    Select the output folder via "Put..." and click "OK" to start processing.

    I exported the clip as a full quality clip from iMovie5 (had to go back to it after audio trouble importing from my HDR-HC1). I get a .mov file and then use that as an input file for JES. The 'converted' file is a .mov.proj.dv file which looks like a squashed 16:9 in 4:3 window in QT. I tried importing it back into iMovie and it imports as a 4:3 with black side bars - no letterboxing. The project I am working on is a 16:9 HD format.
    I havent tried any other exporting yet as I'm fairly sure if they look that way in QT and imovie then that's probably how they are.
    I do notice that when I make all the settings in JES, as I outlined in my question post, once I change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and then close that window and open it again, the setting seems to have defaulted back to 4:3. I tried it several times... (Ver 2.7.3 - I think that's the latest)
    I really appreciate any advice.

  • How can I make slow motion work in iMovie 10.0.2?

    Is there a way to make effects such as slow motion work in iMovie 10.0.2 (OSX 10.9.2)? In Modify drop down, Slow Motion is black, but the speed options are grayed out. Same with Fast Forward, Instant Replay, and Rewind. Anyone know why some capabilities were delted with the new versions of iMovie?

    Jim,
    The menu options (slo mo, fast wd, instant replay, rewind) are black; however, once I select one of these, all the speed options are gray and ineffective. Right click of a clip does not have a "show speed editor." And I am working in the timeline and not the event browser. Any other suggestions? Do we both have the same version (10.0.2)?
    Thanks

  • Imported Video not in sync with sound. Video in slow motion...

    Hello,
    I am fairly new to Premiere and I wanted to spend some time playing around with it. When I import my videos, the playback is out of sync. The sound is normal but the video is in slow motion so it doesnt sync together. Am I missing something? Using Premiere Pro CS4 and filmed it on a Sony Xacti with MPEG4 AVC sequence.
    Thanks in advance.
    Steve
    Oh by the way, it seems to open and play just fine in any other media player

    Steve,
    Glad that you got some material to practice with. That was your goal here.
    Now, file conversions from compressed source material will usually not yield great quality. Unfortunately, the conversion process, unlike what some would love to believe, does not restore quality to the compressed material. It only changes some of the characteristics, but imporved quality is not one of them. Also, depending on the actual conversion program used, the quality can suffer even more. This is a fact of life in Video.
    Now, when you go to get your camera, there are many great threads on many camera makes and models already posted. If you cannot find info on your considerations, post to get recommendations, based on your budget and what you wish to use the camera for. I'm not positive, but I think that the new Equipment sub-forum would be a good place to ask. Previous posts will not be there yet, but will be in the general forum. Many, but obviously not all, cameras have been discussed in length, and their pluses and minuses have been debated.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
