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 tried downloading JES Deinterlacer and had a lost url... What to do?
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):

Where or what else could i use?
QT Pro ($30) also has limited use in changing playback speeds. See these Quickie Tutorials:

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.

And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

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?

Slow-motion (high shutter speed) camera to video my golf swing with 240fps

What is the best model to choose? Would also like a shutter speed of at least 1/2000. I had a Canon SD4000IS that did the trick but was lost (don't ask how!).

Wali,
Some of our current models have the Slow Motion Movie mode that allows a 320 x 240 resolution video to be shot in super slow motion at 240 fps. Based on this requirement and the shutter speed requirement, I have put together a list of models that will work for you.

Slow motion, subtitles and extracting freeze frames

hi friend,
had a few queries if someone can help.
1) want to play a single clip in a project in slow motion. how can it be done?
2) can subtitles of the voice be added? there are only three titles and only possibility to have one in a clip.
3) can a freeze frame be exported as a photo to camera roll or photos? or can a still frame in a video be extracted as a photo and sent to the camera roll?
thanx,

1. You will need to buy an slow motion video app.
     There are a few in the app store that slow down video that is already shot.
     Export the slowed video to the camera roll, and use it in iMovie.
2. Subtitling is not an option in iMovie.
     You can add 'middle' titles, but using this to make subtitles would be slow, and add transitions which is anoying.
3. There are apps that can make stills from video.
     Or you can do a screen grab of the ipad; hold power and Home button.

Slow motion recording and playback with Flash Player with web browers

Hi,
I am using a MacBook, have installed Flash Player 10, and everything was great until a couple of days ago. Then, my audio playback with Flash seems to be in slow motion. I record my voice in this program call Voicethread using either Safari or Firefox and what it should be a 3 seconf audio track seems to be elongated to 9, streching my voice like it is on slow motion. I have tried everything that it is recommended (restaring, uninstallins, reinstalling, etc) and NOTHING... I have spent hours already trying to fix this issue that came from nowhere... 36 hours ago was working just perfectly!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Luis

Adobe Flash Player has also been crashing periodically on 2 of my computers, I'm still running XP, one of them a powerful HTPC, Dell Optiplex 755 SFF over a new Cable Internet Connection. Buffering, Lagging, crashing when streaming video for Catchup TV (Freeview) via Firefox Adobe Flash Player Add-On, does not happen on Youtube though. Lagging & Crashing does NOT occur AT ALL in Google Chrome, but I hate that browser.
Have tried the usual disabling Flash Hardware Acceleration + Protected Mode, setting storage to Unlimited, disabling FF Ad Blockers + Hardware Acceleration, cleaning Caches, updating program versions, everything bar reinstalling programs. It's not happening in Chrome, why in Firefox?

Slow motion videos and distorted sound

Hi, using Vista, IE9, latest verison of Flash, video goes into slo-mo after a few seconds and sound distorts. Any ideas?

To help troubleshoot could you give us the exact version of the version of Flash that is installed?
Flash Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
dxdiag report instructions
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

HVX200 and slow motion

Hi,
Despite having read several how-to articles, I am still a little unclear on how to make best use of the HVX200's variable rate feature.
What I have done successfully is the slow motion feature that's described here:
http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomonthly/tutorials/trainup/5993.html
First of all, is that generally considered the correct setup?
If so, what's the best way to handle something that I might want at normal and slow motion? For example, a skating coming towards the ramp should be at a normal frame rate but on the jump, I want to use slow motion. Would I shoot all of it at the faster rate described above, use that directly in the 24p timeline for the slow motion part and convert the rest the clip to 24p? That is what I assume, based on reading this
section of article on the History Channel shoot:
O’Brien added, “The most useful feature of the camera was its ability to shoot 24 or 60 frames for any particular shot. Having 60 frames to use as a slow motion shot in a 24 frame timeline was the closest I've come to the days of 16mm, where you could dial up to 72 frames for slow motion. The 60-fps shots can be easily converted in Final Cut Pro to 24-fps if we decide not to use the shot as slow motion. Knowing this, we were unafraid and shot anything that we might want to be slow motion at 60 frames. This gave us a freedom we would not have had on film, where a slow motion shot would be expensive to convert back to normal.
Just writing this down is making me think more clearly that this is the best path but opinions would be much appreciated.
Regards,
fh

Hello and welcome to the forum.
You adjust speed in the Modify menu. Select Modify>Speed or press Command/J.

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.

60p Slow Motion still jittery and stroby. What am I doing wrong?

I shot in JVCs 60p. When I try slow mo in either an HDV or SD 30 fps time line, it looks just as bad as 30p slow motion. Could it be that once I put the clip in the HDV 30p timeline, FCP treats it just like a 30p clip? I've tried altering the motion blur and speed, but that makes no difference. FYI, in order to use my JVC "SDHD60 p" clips - which FCP doesn't recognize- I had to convert the QT files using the HDV-DV program. But QT files look fine and smooth at regular speed, so I don't really think that's the problem.

Okay, upon further experimentation - I found that once I've created the slo mo in the 60P timeline, I can export the sequence using QT compression to a 72030p clip and import into the timeline. But this is a big pain. It seems it also works to edit everything in a 60p timeline. The 30p material must render, but it doesn't take long. Anyone out there experimented with this??

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 do you create a smooth slow motion

Attached are both the original clip, 2 second long, and 5 times slower clip of the original.
for some reason the slow motion is not smooth. is there a way to make it smooth?
thanks
arikw

If your camcorder can shoot 60p, import that clip, then right-click it and Modify > Interpret. The frame rate should show up as 59.94, go ahead and change that to 29.97 and then put the clip on the timeline. This should have the result of doubling the length of the clip and providing silky smooth 50% slow motion (without adding Speed Change, leave that at 100%).
Just picked up a new GoPro Hero 3 White, and it has 720p60 and I tried the above and it looks nice! The more expensive GoPros offer 720p120 and that should yield excellent 25% slow motion using the same methods. With the waterproof housing and wide angle lens, you could get right up close to that waterfall!
Thanks

How to properly timewarp 59.94 footage for slow motion effect for 29.97 output

I have footage filmed in 59.94 that I want to use for slow motion effects and output to 29.97. Using timewarp I seem to get duplicate frames at times. What would the best workflow to accomplish the cleanest result? I've tried interpreting the footage at 29.97 and keeping it at its native 59.94. At this point I feel like I'm just confusing myself further by just trying random things. Thanks!

Always interpret footage as what it really is. If it is really 59.94 progressive then that's what it should be interpreted as. It will play at the right speed in any comp of any frame rate. IOW, if the footage is 10 seconds and you put it in a 99fps comp and play it back at full frame rate the clip will still be 10 seconds long. If you put it in a comp that's 15 frames per second, the clip will still be 10 seconds long.
Make sure you understand that.
There is a chance, and a good chance, that your footage is actually full frame 59.94 fps video. That's why I suggested putting it in a comp that's also 59.94 fps and checking for duplicate frames.
There is also a chance that your footage is actually 29.97 fps interlaced. If you separate fields and look at the footage in a 59.94 fps comp you won't see any duplicate frames.
To change the speed of the clip you just need to apply Time Remapping, Time Warp, or any of the other Time Time tools in AE. It doesn't make any difference what the frame rate of the composition is, you'll be changing the length of the clip.
To keep from creating duplicate frames you either need software that interprets the new, extra frames or you need to use an exact whole number multiple of the frame rate for rendering.
Where did you get the footage? What Camera? What are you trying to do with it? What is the final destination (delivery) for your project.

Creating slow motion footage

I'm going to need to create some slow motion footage and it seems like I can do this with FCP under the Speed option. If so, just curious why people buy camera specifically to do super slow motion. Are there quality issues when doing it in FCP?
Thanks.

When you take 30fps...and slow it down to 50%, half speed...what you get is 1 frame repeated...it shows up twice. So the action is not all that smooth. Go to 33% and that 1 frame is repeated 3 times.
Now...take a camera that shoots 60fps, slow that down to 30fps, you get frame for frame...1 frame not repeated, so that 1 second shot at 60fps is now 2 seconds, and smooth. Slow that down to 24fps...that's even slower. Shoot 120fps...that's even slower and smoother.
So, if you want slow motion, you need to shoot more fps.
