Slowing fcp footage down to zero
Is there any way of grading footage so that it slows down from, say 50% to zero or close to? Thanks.

In the Quicktime 7 A/V controls, how fast is the 2x playback really because it isnt twice as fast. I shot a music video on the 2x setting and when we slowed the footage down to half time, it did not line up.
one last thing: I'm also getting this problem here too:

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. -
Corrupt media causing dropped frames? FCP shuts down without warning.
Hello,
I have a project that was working fine, then one day we started getting numerous dropped frame warnings during playback on the timeline (specifically during sequences that have multiclips); then two days later, playback causes the entire project to freeze and FCP shuts down.
We are on 17" MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 667
Mac OS X 10.4.9
External drive: Western Digital 1 TB, My Book Pro Edition, FW 800, 7200rmp, 650GB used
FCP 5.1.4, DV-NTSC project, source media captured from DVCam
I have tried all the normal adjustments for dropped frames issues including boosting the ram allocated to FCP, closing additional sequences and applications, hard drive is formatted OS X Extended, etc. Multiclip squences have only 2 video/audio streams at a time, so I can't imagine that its bottle necking here.
One thing to note is that the second external drive, which has duplicates of all the same media and copy of the most recent project is working fine. The only difference is that the problem drive also has media that was ripped from DVDs using Mac The Ripper, and then compressed using MPeg Streamclip into .dv (then changed to .mov before importing into FCP). We are using the DVD material as scratch until we can obtain the original footage as we get closer to going online. We are in the process of obtaining permissions from directors/distributors/studios, but this obviously takes time.
DVD material is totaling close to 55GB. Also, even though the clips are .mov, we are still getting a red bar and having to render the media. Audio is at 48hz so no problem there. Not sure why it still requires us to render.
Is it possible that the project is somehow corrupt? Is all the rendered material too taxing for FCP? Am I handling this extra footage inefficiently?
I have spent hours on this forum looking for the answer, but haven't come across a solution yet. Thank you for your help.I'm not sure I understand. You have duplicate media on another drive? You're having problems playing back the media from one drive but NOT the other? Sounds like your drive might be failing. Try running Diskwarrior (to repair any possible directory structure problems) and techtoolpro (to see if there's any physical problem).
I have had problems with multiple firewire drives from different manufacturers connected at the same time. Try disconnecting everything BUT the problem drive.
You shouldn't need to do any rendering if the clip settings exactly match the sequence settings. Try this: select one clip, control click and choose make multiclip sequence. Is there a red bar in the sequence? If not, your clip settings to not match your sequence settings in the problem sequence.
Good luck -
Real time effex in iLife 6 slow my video down not bad but some what slow.
Real time effex in iLife 6 slow my video down not bad but some what slow. When I go to try out different effects it makes my prevue slow as I am looking at it in real time seeing what the effect looked like. I am using a i Mac G5 250gb and 1g of ram. Is there something rong are is this the way the i Mac G5 works with video thanks.
Be sure you're using the latest drivers for your Decklink...
If you didn't perform a totally clean install of the studio 2 when you got it, that might help. It's always been my habit to rebuild my startup disk any time a new OS comes out (i.e. Panther to Tiger) and when a new studio is released... I just have a very stable system as are the ones I watch after. I'm totally convinced this needs to be done periodically. At the school I teach at part time, there are about 65 FCP bays. They do this totally clean install every single semester. I'm convinced that this is the reason they are so stable in general, even being used by many user accounts etc...and by novice users to boot.
Also keep in mind that as drives get fuller, they get slower... so need to keep at least 10% free... they actually start slowing down at 70% capacity. As a side note, CalDigit's new HD PRO unit is stripped in such a manner that it doesn't slow down as it fills up... Apparently they stripe it so that every other drive is using the fastest part of the platters and the others start by using the slowest part of the platters or some such...

I have a 1st generation time capsule and an extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down
I have a 1st generation time capsule and an appe extreme b/g. Is the extreme slowing the network down? Should I dump it an get the new n version?
yes it is likely to be slowing down the network because you are using 802.11b/g
from what i recall with b/g a slow client can slow down the entire network to that clients speed.
this was the major improvement with 802.11n and Mimo. each client can be connected to the access point without affecting your speed to the rest of the network
its reccomended to get all new "N" equipment if you have the budget for it. some of those old airports and time capsules can still be worth something on amazon marketplace so you might be able to sell them
if you want to create / join / extend a netwowrk your going to probably need all "n" based equipment.
buy the new 4th generation time capsule or the new 5th generation airport they have better stronger radios
in the mean time configure your base station router to a high multicast rate, so it will prevent devices connecting to it at 1-2 mbps speeds and slowing down your network
if you have an apple care covered mac remember the airport / time capsule rule. all airports and time capsules purchased 2 years before you bought your mac to the 3 years of apple care covers them. if you do not have apple care then the standard warranty applies -

Firefox.exe uses too much memory slowing the computer down, what can be done?
This doesn't happen every time I am using the browser, maybe half of the time. When it does happen it takes a long time for it to clear up. It can slow the computer down even after I have exited out of the program, maybe still not responding because of high memory usage. Is there anything I can do to get Firefox to run smoothly?
Some updates are better handled by Internet Explorer or the built-in updater, such as any updates from Microsoft's Windows Update or Office Update systems. (These systems are not compatible with other browsers.)
You can use the "all systems" page to download a full installer and then copy it over to your XP system.

Problem slowing 60p footage (Canon t2i) in CS4
This is the first time I am trying to slow 720p60 footage in CS4 and I am running into problems.
I have converted my footage to mjpeg for editing in CS4. This converted footage is the same frame rate as the original (59.941fps). I have created a new sequence with a frame rate of 29.97. I then import my videos to Premiere and interpret them to 29.97fps. When I drag the video to my timeline, the length is correct (double the original length) but the playback is VERY odd. The clip is 4:00 minutes long but the first 20 seconds is the entire video in fast forward and the rest of the clip is the final frame frozen.
When I import the original .MOV videos to the same sequence, after interpreting it of course, it is the correct length/speed.
I always edit my videos in Pre using mjpeg proxy files and have never run into problems.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
ShawnIf my computer could handle full resolution .h264, I would. But since it can't I need to use proxy files.
I did find a solution yesterday though. Hopefully this can help anyone having the same problem. My solution is nothing new though. I had a feeling my problem stemmed from the mjpeg codec which for some reason doesnt play nice at 60fps. Rather than converting to videos to mjpeg, I converted my footage using MPEG-streamclip using the settings from gregbrand.co.uk. (I needed to use a NTSC compression though to keep the correct aspect ratio)
Everthing now is working smoothly. This problem was very odd and I'm happy to have found a solution. -
Lion... Seems to be slowing my iMac Down? Tips and Tricks?
Hey everyone, this is my first post so go easy on me
I installed lion as soon as it came out. I'm really impressed so far, loving the new features (except my inverted mouse, that had to be changed pretty sharpish). My only problem is, is that it seems to have slowed my iMac down. I have seen in some posts that spotlight needs to do alot of indexing, but I generally leave my computer on for long periods so it should have finished that by now should it?? I seem to struggle with safari, however im just in the process of re-downloading and installing again.
My iMac is a 24 inch, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. My macbook air doesnt seem to have any problems so any idea why I would be struggling on the iMac??
Any tips, tricks or advise would be much appreciated.
Thanks!Thats what I thought about spotlight. If Im leaving it on for long periods that should of been done and dusted ages ago. I know what u mean about the performance, some times it flies and does what I want, but the more windows I have open on sarfari and it seems like im asking for trouble!
I thought I would be able to re-download safari from here... http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
How ever u can only get 5.1 on the apple site and u need snowleopard for that. So that idea has gone out the window.
Hmmm not sure about the apps. However u can just re-download the ones u have already paid for can't u.
U had any joy? -
How to send ProRes FCP footage to iDVD and get a quality result
Hello,
I am editing on FCP5, for which I used a USB to transfer my ProRes footage. I want to use one of the themes in iDVD as a menu page for my final project, and understand that to do this I will have to export my FCP footage via QuickTime. I am worried about compromising the quality of my footage by doing this. My question is how can I then burn my final product, including the DVD menu, to disk and get the best quality result from my footage.
Thank you!Have a feeling it's MPEG2. I've already spent time this week rendering another part of the movie using my old editing package (Pinnacle) and saving it as a .mov file to USB and it works on FCP without a hitch- Thankfully! I'm just gutted because I know MPEG is nowhere near as good quality as ProRes but I really don't know what else to do- This is literally my first week working on a Mac, let alone FCP!

I pre-orderd the an album last week, and downloaded it when it became available on Monday morning.
However now itunes keeps trying to download the album again which is slowing my phone down and using too much 3G.
Can anyone help?It may be an authentication error.

It may clear up after a while. You can write to Apple but I bet it clears up before you receive a reply.

FCP shuts down when I open my project from external hardrive??

If I install Microsoft office on my mac air 2gb 64mb, will it slow my system down? I also have a macbook pro that i dont take out the house with Microsoft office already installed. Am I best to install Pages on the mac air or will it cause compatibility issues when working on files between the two devices?
Any help appreciatedThe big question I have is this: is it your intention to work on the same documents on both the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro? If so, I strongly suggest that you pick one program and use it on both. Pages and Word are both good word processors but they really are not compatible - rather Pages can read Word files and be forced to create Word files. But the reading and writing isn't perfect and sometimes the amount of work required to re-edit a translated file is substantial.
Installing Office on the MacBook Air isn't going to slow it down unless your hard drive is already very full and Word should run okay on it (though you might not be able to run Word at the same time as you run other programs).
