Slow motion jerkiness when rendered to DVD

I've upgraded to iMovie HD 6 and I am working on projects that I started in iMovie 4. This has happened because I am working on 5 or 6 projects at the same time and I have only now got to the point where I want them on DVD.
All slow motion clips look fine in iMovie, but when they are rendered to DVD they are incredibly jerky. BUT, not all of them. This seems ridiculous, if they were all jerky OK, but only some of them.
Does anybody have a solution, or do I have to re-install iMovie 5.
Please don't suggest JSE software as there are far too many clips to be exporting and re-importing.
IMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

As a bug, some early iMovie HD version (AFAIR v5)didn't deinterlace slo-mo clips. This produced terrible shaky motion on an interlaced TV if the source material was interlaced.
Later versions fixed this. If this is the case, then you must re-render those clips, re-import and render them or use JES Deinterlacer to deinterlace the shaky clips.

Field Flickering when rendering to DVD or TV

I'm running into the same problem over and over again. And I can't seem to figure out how to solve it.
The problem I'm having is:
I load my video using the Matrox RTX.2 card, CS4 recognises this as an Upper Field footage (previous versions always were Lower Field). I edit the video, add some effects, and speed up or slow down some files.
Now, when rendering this to DVD Mpeg (or any other DVD compatible extention), creating the DVD (in Encore CS4) and burning it to a PAL DVD format then playing it on TV the slowmotion parts and speedups are Flickering back and forward (the usual field problem)
I've done everything to check it.
- I rendered everything upper field
- I rendered everything lower field
- I changed footage in Premiere CS4 to upper and lower
- I rendered in AVI, MPG (DVD and Native)
- I rendered on a PC using the DV codec (so without the Matrox Card)
- I rendered on a Mac with Premiere CS4 (and a Blackmagic card)
- I done Interpret footage inside Encore with all the variations above
On the end it came down to this, I had to remove the fields in Premiere, I rendered without fields. Now, obviously it's not jittering anymore, but it is less sharp and smooth (because it's more flat and half the frames it supposed to be). That is a solution for now, but not on the long run. Premiere CS3 and previous never had any problems with fields, as long as the production pipeline stayed the same it's no problem
- I also checked the sequence settings
Does anyone has these kind of problems, or does anyone know how to solve this? I tried on 4 systems.. different from eachother.
Thanks in advance,
Ruud Zeelenberg

Try without using anything Matrox related. Likely your problem disappears.

Slow-motion blinking after rendering.

Hey! I have a big problen on Premiere Elements 10. When i time-strech a clip, and i render it. It starts blinking blue! Like every 5 frame or so. I noticed this after editing for while, so it would be best if i did not have to start all over again. Can anyone help me with this? This is a big problem for me sice i edit a lot of skateboarding vids, where slow motion is a must. Please ansver quick

Also, what model of camcorder did this video come from and what format and resolution is it?
When you started your Premiere Elements project, which settings did you select?
If you are using non-camcorder video or you haven't properly set up your project, it could lead to the issues you're describing.
Also, how much did you slow your video?

Motion sequence - when rendered in FCP goes blurry.example picture in post

Im having a strange problem.
Im creating a 20 sec intro graphic sequence in Motion in the PAL format to go into my FCP sequence. When I export and bring into FCP - the video as expected is unrendered and the picture looks sharp-like it did in Motion. However - when I render - it becomes a little blurry (nice technical term...)...
Ive tried using all 3 field dominance settings on Export from Motion - no difference...
When I watch the Intro graphic .mov in the viewer outside the sequence - it looks good quality as it did...so how come when rendering it is loosing so much?
(size increased for emphasis) Left is Outside of sequence - Right is Rendered in Sequence

Slow motion (constant speed) rendering problem. ATTENTION PROs!

I have tried almost everything to try and fix my problem and now I am going insane!
I am editing a short promo featuring constant speed adjustments and video filters. When I render the video seems to drop frames and jutter. Why is this when i have only reduced the speed of the clips by 50% or 75% ? ?
I have put it through compressor several times and printed the video onto DVD to see if the problem lies within any other program, but i believe my problem is with final Cut HD.
The footage is HDV interlaced. I have made sure the frame blending options are checked although this makes no difference and have rendered it I dont know how many time.
Do I need to bring the original rushes out of the bin and adjust the speed again from scratch...essentially start again?
HELP! I am going mad!
Mac Book Pro (2ghz intel / 2gb memory) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Final Cut Studio HD

I have done it!
I firstly made a quicktime movie, using current settings, to create a single HDV clip. I then created a new sequence, titled HDV, and opened up the sequence settings. Going into the video processing tab I changed field dominance to 'upper odd' and motion to 'best'. I then dropped the new HDV clip into the timeline. At this point I sent this new clip to Compressor and chose the 'best quality 90min 16/9', MPEG 2 two pass + Dolby. EXPORT....HAPPY DAYS! The results are great. Perhaps I could make it better by stopping the footage down to SD first?

Shakey Motion Titles When Authored to DVD From FCP

Hi all, i'm having a real nightmare getting motion titles in to an FCP project then authoring to iDVD.
This evening i tried embedding some streak titles in to a piece of a footage in FCP, i use the 'Send to Motion' function. The project looks absolutly fine when played back in FCP but when i author to DVD the section with Motion in is very shakey, it's a very quick shake and it comes more across as very weak distortion. The motion titles look great but it throws out the rest of the footage.
I've tried setting the field order to none and it only slightly helps. Both of my resolutions are 720 x 576 PAL, FCP Footage is DV PAL 48 KHZ.
Can anyone help????

Hey David,
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't have Squeeze...
If I use the crop tool, that leaves a black border around the frame that's visible when I open the exported QT in the QT player. Was there another way of doing it?

Why is my dv video very jerky when its on dvd ?

I did a project with DV frame size then I exported it to MPEG. Then to DVD 4.8 gb using encore, and when I play it in my Pc its fine when I playing it in my dvd player it plays for couple of min. then it start jerkying and pixelisation alot to the extent that its unwatchable ! .. the camcorder is sony HDV HVR-Z5E and Im using CS5.5. How can I fix this ?

Welcome to the forum.
One thing to look into, when a DVD set-top player is having issues, would be the brand of blank media used. What brand of blank media did you use?
I recommend Falcon Pro, Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden.
Another thing to look into would be the burn speed used. What burn speed did you use for that blank media?
Good luck,
Hunt

Error message when rendering a DVD

When I'm burning a DVD (or img file), I get this error message: "Not Authorized. This application cannot be used to play this content. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes."
I'm assuming that there is something wrong with one of the audio files. How do I find out which one and how do I correct it?

This may be because you have added copy protected audio from iTunes to your iMovie project (or iDVD menu).
The solution is to either update your iTunes library to non-DRM status, or burn that audio track to a CD in AIFF format and re-import it into iTunes before using it in iMovie or iDVD.

Movie is choppy in slow motion...

Hi there,
I'm using iMovie HD for movies from my Canon MiniDV Camcorder. Importing and cutting works fine, quality of movie/sound is ok.
After, I use iDVD to burn DVDs from my own movies, works fine too. My only problem: Slow Motion!
When applying slow motion to a piece of movie, it is very choppy. When burned to DVD and watching it on tv, still the same thing.
I'm using a G4 1700mhz, 1gb Ram. What could my problem be?
Thanks alot for any ideas!
-Lucas

Hi Lucas,
there's a simple technical reason: to get a smooth video, you need 25/30 frames per second, so does your camcorder record the video...
apply a slow-mo just doubles (triples...) the frames - in result, you have 12 or less fps... that is choppy...
Grandmaster Dan shows some slow-motion alternatives on his excellent website...

Weird Slow motion effect with Motion4 and FCP7.

Hi everyone,
I was testing a simple slow motion clip when I encountered a weird issue with it.
Basically the clip of a person running in a room where there is a bookshelf and the weird effect is that it looks like there is an "halo" around the person and within such "overlap" everything on that path looks "melted/vibrant" distorted.
To better clarify the issue I uploaded a sample clip here:
http://www.vimeo.com/5891093
After doing some tests I've found a workaround to this. So the sample clip shows the problem and the portion without any problem.
The clip was shot in XDCAM EX 720p 25fps.
After ingesting and importing the MOV file into Motion I had exported the slowed clip out of Motion using the same codec XDCAM EX 720p VBR.
When I imported that MOV into FCP I got that weird effect on both canvas and final export to H.264.
As second test, instead of using the export from Motion, I decided to use the Motion project in the FCP timeline. Once rendered (as the motn clip was in the Motion Codec Decompression) as XDCAM the same issue appeared on both the canvas and final export to H.264.
At this point the strange thing was that if I opened the Motion project in the viewer it was working perfectly fine.
I then decided to export within FCP the Motion project to XDCAM 720p before instantiating it in the timeline.
So did that and I got a 720p clip that I imported in the timeline without any rendering needs.
With that clip the canvas was playing ok and so was the final export to H.264.
As the initial work in Motion 4 was ok and I didn't see any issue, I thought this might be some sort of FCP 7 issue (or some bad settings that I have on my system).
Anyway I've found my work around and just decided to share here just in case someone else could understand the behind the scene of this.
During these tests I have tried to place the Motion project on different timelines (in ProRes 422, ProRes 444) just to see whether the issue was due to a combination of factors including the XDCAM codec, but didn't fix the problem.
Cheers,
Armando.

Just for the record, I made another test with a different material and now I start thinking it could be a Motion4 weird behavior than an FCP7 issue.
I have shot another clip this time with an in camera slow motion (shot @60fps in XDCAM EX 720p 25pfs format), then applied to Motion4 for another 50% optical flow time remapping.
This time after checking well at Motion results, I can see the issue in the bookshelf area with vibrant/melting spots.
After importing the Motion project into FCP and then exported as self contained MOV in XDCAM EX 720p, the issue is gone as in the other tests.
I went back to the previous tests I made and checked better in Motion; the problem was slightly noticeable even there in one test.
So I guess it is Motion producing that weird output and not FCP, which seems btw fixing the issue.
Regards,
Armando.

Slow motion not playing back after 8.02

I have iPhone 6 plus. I shot a couple of slow-motion videos when device had iOS 8.0. I just noticed that these videos are not playing back in slow-mo after the upgrade to iOS 8.02. Anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions?

i noticed this too. Definitely something happened during an update. Whether it be 8.02 or IG update or something.
Before if I wanted to upload a vid on instagram with slow mo, I did where I want the slow mo part in default photos app, then it would apply in IG automatically, now IG or any app just plays the vid at regular speeds.
what gives apple?

I have a 2008 macbook and want a version of iMovie that can do slow motion, which one and how?

I want to edit a short video for fun and the '08 version cant do slow motion. When i tried to get iMovie '11 or whatever it wouldnt let me because i don't have apple's newest laptops.
i'm not buying a new laptop. what do? any suggestions on video editing software? No, i don't want to spend money on this really... i just want to tinker around with short videos.
Thanks!

Slow motion windows movement

Suddenly the windows movement on my macbook pro became slow motion. like when i scroll up and down in safari it is on slow motion! or mission control is loading on slow motion anyone can help? ram 16GB Hard 1Tb CPU Core i7 2.7

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

More frames for super slow motion

Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure something out and I think I need some help.
I do highlight videos of assorted stuff and I wanna do a super slow motion effect. Nothing longer than a second on real time, but blow it to 10 seconds on slow motion.
When I do this I obviously get various issues and it looks horrible.
I cannot reshoot the footage with another camera or with a higher shutter speed. This is stuff done at a particular event and they just give me the footage from the truck.
I was wondering if there's any software, plug-in, effect or technique to achieve this super slow motion look but without the light "blinks" or "stop motion" you get when you go really slow.
I think what I may need to do is to find a way to create extra frames (somehow) to get a smooth effect/transition between frame, but I just can't achieve it.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanx.
PS: If motion or compressor can do this, that would be great too.

you've answered your own question!
both Motion and Compressor can be used to create a better quality slowmo
apple demo motion here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/motion/ look at the "Retiming Behaviours" clip
if your on an older version of FCS look at this:
