Slow Motion on Multiple Clips

Ok so I'm newish to Premier and starting to get frustrated by how slow it is to edit in this software. Surely there must be an easy way to make a whole sequence of clips run in slow motion at 50% speed. I've copied down the clips to the timeline but it seems I have to time remap on a clip by clip basis and moreover there's no easy way to stretch the new longer clip in the timeline without moving it first to its own track and then inserting it back into the original.
Please tell me there's an easy way to do this!!!!

Hi Craig - totally understand why you are a little confused as to why I'd want to apply a job lot action but as a wedding videographer, I end the film with a slow motion film sequence of their day. Although each clip does need fine tuning to fit both to the music and to the general feel of the clip as well as fine tuning the in and out points, I do generally use a 50% slow mo as a rule of thumb and work from there. If this facility was available I could then do all the work from the timeline to fine tune which would be so much faster.
I had a look at the frame rate interpretation and while this does allow me to make a multiple quick change in the way that using a nested sequence would also allow me to do the job, the same restriction seems to still be there, in the fact that any fine tuning of the clip thereafter would be either difficult, impossible or quality would be compromised.
I've got to say though - I am impressed with these forums, in less than 24 hours I have had three or four suggestions all of which may work in a different scenario which I may be able to use, so thank you very much again.

  • How to apply basic motion to multiple clips

    Hello!
    How do I apply basic motion parameters to multiple clips? ie Scale, center and crop? Do I have to set the parameters for each specific clip or can I apply the parameters to multiple clips at once?
    Thanks

    I'm going to assume you want to assign the exact same motion tab setting to additional clips.
    Set one of your clips as desired in the motion tab
    highlight the modified clip in the timeline
    type Cmnd-C to copy
    highlight the clips you want to have the setting applied to
    type Option-V to paste
    in the pop-up window uncheck all boxes except Basic Motion
    click the OK button

  • How do i access the speed slider so i can slow motion in video clips?

    i an having trouble accessing this function.  I have CS6 (windows) and i can't access the 'speed/duration sliders' to slow down my clip to look like its in slow motion.  I know this can be done...it says so in the help file in photoshop.
    thx

    thx, i can't see where you do that (access the function to slow the motion of a clip).  in the help file it says to 'right click' on the clip to access those functions but when i do i get these optios below (no motion, pan, zoom, pan and zoom).  i want access the speed/duration sliders.
    i would say the function isn't available at all, but i could be looking in the wrong place (although i have tried everything).
    thx for your reply.

  • Make slow motion with a clip shot at 25fps

    I shot a bunch of clips at 25fps, but now I want to add them to the timeline so they will playback in slow motion but the audio (speech interviews) remains at normal speed. Is this possible, or did I need to have shot the clip at a faster rate in the first place?

    Maybe I didn't explain my question well enough, but it does work. I placed my audio recording in it's own track, and placed the video action shots in their own video track, selected the video track only and used rate stretch and dragged it to the length of the audio. Voila, audio plays at normal speed and the separate video clip plays at 45%.

  • Slow Motion Problems

    I've been using FCP now for many projects, and this is the first time I have had this problem. I will use slow motion on a clip and render it. But when I play the clip back, it will skip ahead in the clip, and then freeze. For example, people walking down the street. The clip is 3 seconds and I slow it to 6 seconds. As people are walking, about every 5 frames the picture jumps. Then at 4 seconds into the clip it freezes and plays that frame for the remaining 2 seconds. I never had this problem before, and I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm almost at the point where I want to just reinstall the whole FCS!

    It depends on the formats you import. Are you slowing your footage down -100%? make sure you have constant speed checked. Maybe your time remapping it.

  • Best way to do Slow motion scene from Canon XHA1S (HDV)

    The Canon (XHA1S UK version (PAL)) I have records 25f (progressive) and 50i at various shutter speeds and I have, until now always used optical flow in Motion or Change Speed within FCP to create slow motion effects of clips in my sequence. I almost always capture at 50i then bring it in transcoded to ProRes 442, and as I say either change the speed or send a clip to motion and roundtrip it with an optical flow apllied. Is there a better way or more appropriate codec I shlould use to ingress/transcode the origional captured tape to make the the sequence clips ? I know there are some Plug-Ins such as Twixtor out there but given the fairly small amount of times I need this I do not want to spend hundreds of bucks on that if I can get a better result with the FCP / Motion I have. FYI my system looks like this FCP 7.0.2 , Motion 4.0.2 (FCS3) on a MP 2009 Quad Core 2.26,12Gb RAM, Graphics ATI HD4870 (512 Mb VRAM) -
    Many Thanks in Advance - Jim

    you could try this Jim, a plugin called 'Too much too soon"
    Like yourself I also have a XHA1, and use slow mo quite a lot. I never use motion for it, but I have twixtor too. Twixtor is definately the best - but the process to go about getting a slow mo clip is a joke! When you select the clip and apply say a 50% speed it doesn't extend the length of the clip on the timeline, and you can't drag the edges out either side either!! Instead you have to take the original clip, create a new sequence, duplicate the clip, and then bring that sequence back into your edit - and then apply Twixtor!!!You can imagine if your doing that with a whole editied 'montage' of slow motion it's a total nightmare! (Twixtor seemingly claim that this is apple's fault for not 'letting then' have the tech to do it!)
    This may be the next best thing though TMTS
    http://www.mattias.nu/plugins/
    It's FREE! The quality is somewhere between FCP slow mo and Twixtor, but a LOT easier to apply than twixtor.
    You can see video comparing them here:

  • Can anyone confirm this Slow Motion Bug

    Hi All,
    in a PAL project if I apply slow motion to a clip then that clip becomes distorted - looks like every other line from the clip has gone.
    I am using an iMac core duo, and have all latest OS and iLife patches applied.
    I cannot find a work around to this.

    Sounds about right. Discussion and fixes can be found here...

  • 60fps Reverse Slow Motion Bug?

    I have been playing with slow motion in iMovie using 60fps source footage (i.e. 60fps clips in a 30fps project).  It does a decent job but I have come across some strange behaviour when playing the slow motion clips in reverse.  It appears that iMovie losses it's nice smooth slow motion when the clip is played in reverse.  By this I mean that in reverse the nice smooth 60fps@50% clips look the same as 30fps@50% clips, they are choppy.
    Take a look a this clip for an example: http://vimeo.com/27162470  (just uploaded and currently being processed by Vimeo, may or may not be ready for viewing yet)
    I cannot figure out why.  Wonder if this is a bug/limitation in iMovie or if I'm missing a setting somewhere.  I suspect the former.
    Message was edited by: DigitalOxygen.ca

    One possible workaround is to reverse the clip before importing into iMovie but I have yet to find a tool other than iMovie that will let me do that easily.  Some quick investigation into MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, and ffmpeg didn't turn up much. 
    Anyone know of a tool that will allow me to reverse the clip before importing into iMovie?

  • Slow motion: PPro v After Effects

    I'm new to the CS3 products. In previous versions I found After Effects slow motion (time remapping) to be better quality output than PPro slow motion on a clip. Has anyone done a comparison for slow motion in CS3 between PPro and After Effects?

    Oh, right on. I hadn't played with Time Warp in Premiere. Yes, I have tried the PPro Time Reampping, but I still find the keyframing really cumbersome. I guess I've been working with After Effects too long for this sort of thing. Can't teach an old dog, eh? I suppose I'll delve into it more deeply when the need arises.
    I've been having another issue with Premiere that precludes me from using Time Remapping, Time Warp, Speed, etc: Since I upgraded to CS3, whenever I apply speed changes (of any kind) the clip are automatically deinterlaced -- whether I've checked "deinterlace" or not. Sometimes this problem goes away when I deselect Frame Blending, but more often not. Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

  • Smoothing slow motion

    Hi everyone. I'm using fcp7 and I do skateboarding videography. I'm using a Sony PD170 at 29 frames per sec. When I add a slow motion to a clip it doesn't look really clear, I'm slowing it down 65%. Is there an effect or something that I can add to it to make it smoother? Thanks for your help.

    We see this post from-- interestingly, skate auteurs-- often so there is some searching you can do to discover past threads.
    The issue is probably your shutter speed, not the number of framesper seconds. The 170 can only shoot NTSC at 29.97fps. Fast action requires more frames per second to allow more descreet slices to spread out. But if you were shooting at the default shutter of 1/60th second, your skater has moved a great distance while the shutter is open creating image/motion blur that cannot be removed.
    If you were shooting at, say, 1/250 or 1/2,000th second, your individual frames would be crisp and you might be able to separate the fields out from the frames for twice the number of discreet slices of time at the cost of the loss of half the vertical resolution resolution, only half of the horizontal lines would be available in each field.

  • Slow motion clips drastically reduce editing performance

    I wondered why one project was slower than a similar sized other project (20 min). I moved the project cursor from the end of the project systemmatically towards the start. As I moved it, response got slower and slower. This was the clue. I started to set 50% clips back to 100% as I went backwards through the project and performace rapidly increased. I had both sound and video tracks in the project. Therefore, the more slow motion clips you use the slower editing will become as you progress towards the start of your project.

    Did they import as a single long clip?
    I would recommend dragging the long DV clip into MPEG Streamclip (a free app from Squared 5).
    You can drag the long clip into MPEG Streamclip and divide the long clip into multiple shorter clips. You might divide it into logical events (all clips shot on the same day) or you could make a new clip every time record/pause button is pressed.
    Move the playhead to the in point and press I, move the playhead to the Out point and press O. Then File/Export to DV. Repeat until you have all the clips.
    Hint: If you know the date and time the clips were shot, give the files a name in the form clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.ext where hh is hours in 24 hour time and ext is the current file extension (in your case DV).
    Then use FILE/IMPORT/Movies... to import into iMovie as separate events.
    That should give you good performance.

  • 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?

  • Why are my clips shaking after slow motion?

    I captured clips from my Canon 7d and converted the clip through mpeg stream clip, pro res, 60 frames, full HD. When I imported it into FCP and set the speed to 50% (or any speed, except normal) the top of the clip shakes the entire time, before I made the clip in slow motion there was no shake.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Did you shoot 720p 60? That is the only format that shoots 60fps.
    Conform with CINEMA TOOLS. doing a speed change in FCP doesn't do it right.

  • Video editing 'special effects': can you apply a fast/slow motion effect to video clips?

    I haven't been able to find a way to create the effects of fast or slow motion in the video clips. Is there a way to do this? If not, please consider adding it in the full version - I use these effects alot when editing videos.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    When working with a video layer (clip) in the Timeline panel, either 1.) Context-click on the selected clip (right-click or ctrl-click for mac) or 2.) Click on the flyout button located at the top right corner of the clip.
    The "Speed" option should show up in the flyout menu.  This is only available for video layers.  If you're working with still or smart objects the speed option is not available.
