Slow motion and speedup during a single clip

Is there a way to take a single clip, and slow down portions of the clip, while speeding up other portions of the clip.
Is there a way to adjust playback speed using keyframes I guess is my basic question, so the start of the clip is slow motion, then the middle is played back at an accelerated or normal rate, then the end of the clip becomes slow motion again.

Yes, is the short answer. Using the time remapping feature in the "effects" panel (top center of the screen, second tab from the left) you can set certain portions of the clip to play back at normal speed, then slow it down in certain sections, and then speed it back up. You can also cut the clip using the razor tool (in the tools panel at bottom right of the screen) and just reduce the speed of that section of the clip. The downside to using the time remapping (if my memory serves me - don't take my word for it) is that you lose audio, but the transitions from normal to slow-mo and back are much smoother. Using the razor tool, you simply place the timeline indicator where you would like to begin the slow motion segment, then cut the clip with the razor tool, the repeat the process where you want the slow-mo section to end. Then, select the section that you want to play back in slow motion, and reduce the speed. This is the method that was used before the time remapping feature was available. The transitions are not at smooth, but you can keep audio for the sections where the speed isn't modified. Just be sure to select the "ripple edit" check box when you modify the speed/duration setting of the clip (right click the video clip to get the speed/duration setting dialog box).

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".

Slow motion and other effects are grayed out

Just switched from iMovie 9 to 11, and can't take advantage of the slow motion, instant replay and other effects, because they are all grayed out in the Clip menu. Why? I do not see the "convert entire clip" option referred to in the help file. What is wrong?

Yes, that is it. The trailers are pretty scripted.
If you want to add an effect to a trailer, first complete the trailer.
Then, in the Project Library List view, right click on the trailer name, and select DUPLICATE. (This will give you a copy of the trailer in case you want to edit it some more.)
Then, with the trailer name still selected, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
This will turn your trailer into a normal project, and you can use any of the capabilities of iMovie, including the slow motion and instant replay effects.

Slow motion and Normal speed?

Can I take video shot 720p at 60 fps and use both slow motion and normal speeds in the same video??

Time Stretch is where I would start. If you need to apply that Effect to only part of a Clip, just use the Razor/Scissors Tool, to Cut that Clip, into the segments, where you wish to apply Time Stretch.
Posterize Time can be effective, as well, but from my reading of your needs, I think that Time Stretch (Rt-click the Clip, or Clip segment and apply).
Good luck,
Hunt

My imported avi file plays in slow motion and staggers. what do i need to do to correct ?

My imported avi file plays in slow motion and staggers. How do i fix this ? I am newbie, just started AE but pretty ok with Photoshop. its AVCHD , 50 frames per second

You can update the latest drivers for Nvidia Card.

Slow motion and reminder setting

Guys,
Is there a function for slow motion and for setting a reminder for a program rather than recording?
Cheers

No slow motion that I've found.

Slow motion and trailing in premiere pro cs6

attached is a sample of a clip edited years ago with liquid edition.
In liquid edition "timewarp editor" you could create slow motion together with trailing effect as it shows in the attached clip.
I wonder if it can be done in premiere pro cs6
thanks arikw

Well, you could do it manually if you wanted to. Just pile up a few tracks of the same clip and offset each one by a frame or two from the others. Then set the opacity to something low, like 25%, and see how that looks.
There may be an effect for it that I just am not familiar with.

IMovies 10.0.4: How do I get Slow Motion and Fast Forward (Speed Editor) to function?

I am using iMovie 10.0.4 and cannot get fast-forward or slow-motion functions to work. I have organized my clips into a Project and attempting to edit them in the Timeline. With the target clip selected in Timeline, I am unable to access the fast-forward or slow motion functions in the menu bar nor by right-clicking to select the Speed Editor. Example screenshot below. Thanks for any help you can throw my way.

Hi,
I have this problem too.
Do you have the issue only on new projects ?
Do you still have an old project where you used slow motion ? if so, just duplicate the project and cleanup all clips from the new project and you have a clean empty project with working speed controls. It works for me.
Let me know.
I've created my own question about it because I didn't see yours at first.

Odd issue with slow motion and exporting

Hello,
I have a project with footage taken at either 24p or 60i settings on a Canon HF200. I'm using 7.0.1, ProRes 422 selected. Frame size is set to 1920x1080. I'm exporting using the "Share" menu and the Apple TV preset.
The project is divided into sequences. One of these sequences (whose source material shot using the 60i setting) is set to play in slow motion using the "change speed" option set to 50%.
Here's the odd part, to me at least:
When I export just the slow motion sequence of the project, it plays perfectly (good quality, smooth not jerky, no shadows/trails). But when I export all sequences joined together, the slow motion sequence (and just the slow motion sequence) appears stuttery, with trails on every action by the actors.
Another odd bit: when I export just a subset of the project including the slow motion sequence and everything after it, again the slow motion sequence plays as intended, after export. So the problem only occurs if I export the slow motion sequence with anything before it included.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Problem solved, but I'm not sure if it was my re-importing the clips, or un-checking the "frame blending" option that did it. I did both for no particular reason, and one of them worked.

Imovie shakes on Slow motion and transitions

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me.
I recently went to a wedding and my mum video'd it. As part of the present for the bride and groom I wanted to get a nice song and put snippets of their day into a small video. I have used either cross-disolve or the other one (overwrite or something its called) in between the clips and I have also slowed one of the clips down to make it look like slow motion. On the computer this was fine and then I put it onto DVD and when I played it through the DVD the transitions and slow motion are really jerky as if its shaking. It doesnt do it all the way through, its really just at the beginning of the DVD and then it settles and the last 30 seconds or so are wonderful. Can anyone advise as to what to do?
Thanking you in advance
Tracey

Slow Motion and Frame Rates?

Hi I have a Sony NEX-VG20EH camera and it has an adjustable frame rate. I have put the frame rate on 8000 and recorded some footage. When i load it into Premiere it is still showing as 50.00 fps. I want to do some slow motion stuff but when i slow it down to 10% it is still quite "jumpy". Any ideas?

While many cameras DO offer the ability to "overcrank" for a short duration, such as to capture a golf swing in slow-motion, I looked at the specs for your camera and don't see that feature listed.
Raising the shutter speed means that the shutter is open for a shorter duration during the exposure of each frame of video. At slow shutter speeds, fast motion will look blurred on a freeze frame or during slow playback, because the subject moved quite a bit during the time the shutter was open. A fast shutter will "freeze" each moment in time clearly, but also lowers light sensitivity, so best used outdoors in good light.
It can be fun to play with shutter speeds - on my honeymoon, I was shooting the airplane prop out my window and cranked up the shutter speed until the prop STOPPED and I could read the serial number off of it in my viewfinder!! Note this was in the old days with CCD sensors - the new CMOS sensors have skew which warps the image in many cases.
Note that very high shutter speeds will result in choppy motion, so only use as needed.

Slow Motion and iDVD

I have looked through various questions and answers for months now and have never been able to sort out the fact that iDVD won't create watchable DVDs of my .mov files if they contain slow motion. I'm using iDVD6.
I used to do this all the time on my old G4 iBook without any problems, but the encoding on that seems to have been updated as well.
It's infuriating to be able to watch a nice smooth movie in Quicktime at full resolution, then have iDVD create a rubbish DVD version with flickering and juddering. I video sports activity and use slow motion a lot.
I've tried switching between Best Performance and Quality, have tried creating a disk image first then burning slowly.
So many people seem to have huge frustrations trying to do simple things with iDVD. I have been a Mac fan for years, but my DVD problems and the swathe of DVD problems experienced by others has really tarnished my view of Apple. There is clearly a problem with the way iDVD encodes video, so where's the fix?
Should I just give up and use Toast? Any warnings about that?

Welcome to the forums.
Here are a couple ideas: If your video is under 60 min, use Best Performance for the highest resolution. Import your video from the iMovie file rather than exporting or converting the file (use the Import command or drag the file into your menu area).
Please advise where the .mov files originate; Quicktime is a container format and your .mov file can be more or less compressed... and break down during slow motion if it's substantially compressed or has a low frame rate.

Slow motion and audio

Hi everybody:
How can you slow mo a clip, and keep the same unaltered audio. I thought detaching audio before doing the slow mo would do it but no the audio is distorted/ and or shortened in length and cannot be lengthened to cover the entire clip again. Is there a way??????
Thanks,
Luis

I go back to the events , take an area surrounding the same clip that is long enough to fit the slow motion clip's length. Drag it up to the slow motion clip in the project and choose audio only when the dialog box appears. then adjust the length of this audio clip to fit. Remember to set the slow motion clips audio to zero in the audio adjustment menu.
Covering the slow motion audio used to be a real pain in iMovie6 and is now one of the best features of iMovie9.
I make mostly sports videos so getting background sound from anywhere in the events is easy.
you could also use stock clips of ambient sound from the sound effects area

Intermittant problems with slow motion and crash of Premiere Pro

Many complain about Premiere Pro's instability.
Since a couple of days I have the same problem. Every time I want to navigate from A to B, Adobe seems to either introduce a severe SLOW MOTION effect on it's own accord, that I never put in !!!, or it just CRASHES with an error message along the lines "Problem, Try again" or similar.
This is utterly frustrating !!! I have been trying for over 6 hours today to get this remedied, but no luck.
Looking back over the past days, the problems seem to have grown exponentially both in frequency and in duration.
Of course, this is not about the program, but about the Premiere Pro Forums.
Is there a 300-day refund period for Jives???
I suggest you use that opportunity Adobe. This is

OK, that makes sense.
OS: Vista 64 Business
Browser: Firefox 3.5.2 and IE 8.06
Symptoms:
1. The connection has been reset, try again. Often after 15 minute waits.
2. Nothing happens, just waiting for Adobe and even after 30 minutes, still waiting.
3. After posting, nothing happens. You press the post button, nothing for ages. You press Cancel, nothing.
4. All other pages load without problems and are responsive.
5. Top participants listing and most popular discussions are not displayed.

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.
