Slow Motion songs

I have a 3rd Generation Nano and for some reason my songs on the ipod have slowed down. I mean they sound like they are in slow motion, like they are being played on "Tape" and someone is holding the tape making the song sound funny.
Has anyone run in to this problem and if so is there a fix?
Thanks

One of two options: iTunes 7.x is a bit sluggish to say the leat. So, either turn OFF the option in Advanced > Importing to "Play songs while importing" or don't play the CD whiles its importaning.
Whats happening is that it imports the music off the CD faster than real time - many times faster. SO whiles its reading the data in for importing you are listening to the music in real time, which means the laser of the CD player has to jump back and forth on the CD to both IMPORT the music and PLAY the music.
Easy suggestion: Start importing the music, wait til it mananges to get at least one song fully imported, then goto your iTunes Library, find that newly imported song, then play the imported copy. Then let the import do its thing. WIth todays machines, the import takes only a few minutes. THis is more the fault of how a CD player works than iTunes.

  • "Slow motion" effect during songs - this is REALLY annoying!

    My iTunes has started to do this thing (usually towards the start of the song) where the song gets very choppy and/or plays in slow motion. This will happen too if I do something like rate one of the songs while music is playing. My pc has plenty of RAM and storage memory, and the processor is not overloaded. Any idea what may be causing this? Thanks!

    if you choose to do this, drag your songs over there, THEN erase them from your itunes library, becasue itunes wont be able to find the songs. After that, you can do
    file > add folder to library > my documents/my music/itunes/itunes music, and it will automatically upload all those songs back onto your library

  • Slow motion/fast motion effect

    Hi guys
    I'm making my first music video for a song I made. It'll be my first time learning and using a video production software, and I'm not sure if iMovie will be able to handle these type of effects or if I should invest in Final Cut Pro X instead.
    Basically I want this type: https://youtu.be/BYbJmQj5VkE?t=50s
    Where I can speed up the pace of the video faster than it's normal speed. Is iMovie capable of doing this? Would I also be able to do the opposite whereas I could slow down a video less than it's normal speed? slow motion I'm sure it's called.
    Please let me know, Thank You.

    iMovie can speed up or slow-down video, read the Manual:
    http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/?lang=en#/mov6c442b2eb
    For sure, you can not adjust precisely as you can do in FCPX ...

    High ambitiions, but: why not?
    You do know, that the effect you linked to, asks for a special way how you record teh scene?
    The clip is speed-up, but singer is lip-sync - that is not done by software/post-production!
    While recording, you need a slowed-down version of your music, and the singer has to 'sing' to THAT sloooow version - which looks (and sounds) incredible silly on set
    Then, in the edit-room, the video gets accelerated to 'normal', which makes the background moving faster........
    Here comes FCPX into the game: there you just drag'n-squeeze the re-timed clips to make it fit to music - done.
    iMovie is limited to a few setting.
    Hint: Make some tests in the backyard, before you try the Big Thing!
    fingers-crossed, happy movie making!

  • 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

  • Slow motion sound in audio - imovie5

    I am so frustrated. I have had so many audio problems in imovie5. This is the worst. The sound is like it is in slow motion!! What happened? I have put it on standard quality. I have used QT 7.01 and it seemed to work on other videos. How can I change it without redoing my whole video. It is a musical from a drama class this summer. It happened after I extracted the sound which I had to do so it is insync with the video. Now every audio sound is slow motion - even songs from itunes. Can somebody help me?
    Thanks,
    Sandy

    I do not know if I have saved the original movie files on one of my two external harddrives. I will always duplicate the original movie now.
    Jeff - my understanding is that iMovie HD saves an original version of a project when it performs an update to the HD version. See this topic in Matti Haveri's site here:
    http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHDbugs.html#format
    So, you may find that you still have a copy of the original project. If you still have your iLife discs, iMovie can be extracted from them. All you need is iLife '04 - iMovie 4 won't mess with a version 3 project (from memory), so it's safe to open in version 4. If you have iLife '04, but can't separately extract iMovie, you can download the shareware program "Pacifist" (US$20) which will easily allow you to install iMovie from the iLife disc. You can download the program here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    You should also be able to extract an earlier version from your OS 10.2 install discs - but I'm not sure what version would be on them. If you do install an earlier version, firstly rename or make sure that your current version is not named just iMovie - rename it to iMovie HD 5.0.2 (or whatever) if necessary. This will prevent the installer overwriting your current version.
    All the best with your latest project "Big Sur In Motion" and thanks for posting back Jeff. This link to Dan Slagle's excellent site may provide some additional information: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/index.shtml

  • Slow motion tips?

    Can anyone give me an idea of how to pull off the slow motion look that can often be seen in music videos. I plan on capturing a shot of singer looking into camera and singing and want it to look like it's in slow motion, yet it is in sync with the music.
    suggestions?

    Hi -
    Get a copy of the song sped up 200%.
    Film the singer lip-syncing to the 200% track with a camera capable of shooting 60 fps.
    Play the video shot at 60 fps at 30 fps, it will now appear slow mo but the singer will sync-able with the music track played at normal speed (100%).

  • Fear: Oddly base sound when putting on slow motion. (single play

    Hmmm, i get this ugly base sound, when im turning on slow motion, and also when i/it turns off. The game runs great, exept for this.
    Is someone else getting this? (I know how it should sound, cause i had good song before the new .07Patch, but this was bad.)
    And if someone else gets this, i wanna know if creative got a soloving of this :smileyvery-happy: hehe
    And if someone wants to know, i got an..
    Amd athlon 64 3400+ (old socket, 754)
    Epox EP-8NPA sli
    ATi Radeon X-800XT (256mb)
    PC3200 536mb
    Creative X-Fi Extreme Music
    (Windows XP Pro. x64)

    I finally found a workable but temporary fix. This keeps the distortions away until you restart the game, even if you quickload or start a new level. I'm not sure why or even how it works, but it works. I've been playing FEAR:EP for about 4-5 hours now, distortion free. In fact I just beat the expansion pack (I played about 5 levels) with no problems. It's kinda tricky how to do it, I'll try to explain it as best as I can.
    Load a level. Got distortions? Go into the sound options and turn off all the hardware sound options (hardware, EAX, advanced HD). Go back into the game and play around some (endure the distorions, please), until the distortions seem to magically go away (getting into some combat and jumping or using a lot of slow-mo helps). We're not done yet! Now that the distortions seem to have gone away, immediately go back into the options and turn all the hardware sound options back on. Don't quickload, change levels, restart the game or continue the game without turning hardware sounds back on. The distortions WILL return. Now, the distortions should be gone until you restart the game. You may have to try it a few times if the distortions don't go away in software sounds. But if you can make the distortions go away in software, then immediately turn on hardware, they go away altogether for this session.
    Good luck!

  • What causes my sound to go into slow motion when I am playing itunes and then disconnect the power adapter on my laptop?

    When the sound goes into slow motion, the only way to resolve this is to perform a Windows restore.
    But there must be a way to keep this from happening.
    I'm using Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 service pack 3 and iTunes 10.5.2.11.
    Not only are the songs in iTunes playing slow, but so are all sounds, including Windows sounds.

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

  • HT204076 Slow motion files not playing in slo-mo after 8.1.1

    I had some slow motion video clips I made of my grandson with iPhone 5S with iOS7. After upgrading to IOS 8.1.1, they will not play in slow motion on the iPhone or in iTunes on my Mac Pro 5.1 (2010). In the 'Master' file I found the clips and the size of the file is much bigger than non slow mo clips of the same time length. Also, when the info tab is selected and I scroll through my photos, the info does list the frames per second as 120 FPS. I cannot find a way to play the clip in slow-mo as I haas before the update. My Mac Pro is running Mountain Lion.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • 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
