Speed change Bug still alive?

Mm. I'm at the latest version of Color. But running any constant speed change in FCP is transporting wrong to Color. (DVCPRO HD 720p29.97) I've noticed in FCP that the font for the time indicator in the viewer when the problematic clips are selected goes Italic.
Just trying to make sure I'm not missing something simple that could save me the file-management work associated with an already-complex project in having to pre-render?
tnx!

Variable speed clips don't work at all, and there are still a number of issues with constant speed that are expected behaviour, and not strictly classified as a bug.
"Transporting wrong" leaves a lot of room for interpretation. But constant speed does work, after a fashion. Just like Smoothcam, the entire clip is analyzed/rendered. The reason for this is that COLOR does not use time code to calculate clip positioning. So it "renders 'em all and let's FCP sort it out".
Two work-arounds, of course. One is Media Managing the project so that each subclip with speed changes goes out with its first frame coincident with the first frame that will have the speed change applied to it. Handles are another issue. The most labour-intensive is to bake out each clip at its selected speed and re-import as an independent clip. There are pros and cons to using the speed algorithm in FCP, as the frame blending isn't especially attractive. Optical flow looks considerably smoother and keeps images sharper, but as usual the penalty/price is time.

BUG: Speed Change + Audio Transition = No Audio-Video Sync

BUG: Speed Change + Audio Transition = No Audio-Video Sync
If you change the speed of clips (125%) and make an audio transition between them (power), the audio runs out of sync. The longer the transition, the more out of sync.

Index with "or" clause (BUG still exists?)

The change log for 2.3.10 mentions "Fixed a bug that caused incorrect query plans to be generated for predicates that used the "or" operator in conjunction with indexes [#15328]."
But looks like the Bug still exists.
I am listing the steps to-repro. Let me know if i have missed something (or if the bug needs to be fixed)

When $temp is true i expected the result set to contain both the records, but that was not the case with the index. It works well when there is no index!

Hi Vijay,
This is a completely different bug, relating to predicate expressions that do not examine nodes. Please try the following patch, to see if it fixes this bug for you:

Speed changes with REVERSE don't transfer over to Motion on Round Trip

I don't even know if there is a solution to this problem. I have a clip in my FCP timeline that is playing at 80% speed and in REVERSE. When I highlight the clip then "SEND TO MOTION PROJECT," it opens in motion but plays the opposite end of the source footage. It is still playing 80% speed and in reverse, but it's looking at the other end of the footage.
In other words, if I had a 1-minute piece of source footage and 00:01-00:10 of that footage marked in FCP and sent to Motion, Motion is actually looking at 00:50-01:00.
Anybody ever had this happen? How do I fix it?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

Hi!
We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
Thank you!

Hi! And thanx for the tip.
But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
What works:
Drop clip into new comp
Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
Set speed% to something low, like 5.
Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
What doesn't work:
Repeat above steps... up to 5
Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
Has anyone encountered this?
In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
UPDATE:
I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

Black line flicker after speed change

I have this really annoying problem. The DV footage from my cannon XM2 plays fine in the timeline but as soon as i apply changes in speed I get the dreaded flickering black line at the top of my screen. I know there are lots of posts out there about similar issues, but most are with regard to still images as apposed to video which is what I'm using. Does anyone know exactly what causes this during the speed change process and if so, what can be done to prevent this? I have a hunch its to do with scan rates as the problem only occurs within certain speed ranges. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I believe Patrick Shefield posted a method here a while back, for doing speed changes using compressor which gave a much better result. Might try a search for it here.

What happened to the playback speed change option in iTunes U??

I just updated to the latest iOS and installed other updates. That change removed the playback speed change option for both my iPad and my iPhone in the iTunes U app. It is still available in e podcast player. What happened to this option in iTunes U and will it be restored? Listening to some lecturers at normal delivery speed is agonizing. Any insights on is?

This appears to be a regression with the new version of itunes U
Updated: Nov 14, 2013
Version: 1.4
So to get it to work:
you need to have a video with more than 1 option (such as 1 with subtitles)
Afterwards, the speed you set when the button is working is remembered so when you change to videos where the button doesn't work, it will keep the speed you had.
We're testing Apple's software for them!

Users steal ownership of Wiki Articles in Profile Activity -- Is this bug still happening?

Is anyone seeing this Wiki/Profile bug still happening (not just the results of how it happened last year):

This is where the wrong person gets credit for the article (they were an editor but not the author) in the Profile Activity tab and thus, they get the Author points.

Answer an interesting question?
Create a wiki article about it!

You have a macbook pro too (as noted), does this happen with yours? If apple changed things and it's normal, like as you stated that it was lite so you'd know you're computer is 'on' but I'd like to know for sure if that's what it's supposed to be doing. (nip it in the bud if there's a problem)
I know it isn't sleeping (not pulsing) but since the light is on (steady), it is something I noticed right away. For example, right now as I type this, with the MBP on my desk w/ the cinema display plugged in (w/ a keyboard) and the lid is closed on the MBP, the light is ON right now. Not pulsing, but a steady light. Doesn't seem like it should be, to me. (at least in my view)
Thanks for your reply Josh.

Speed change for audio also?

When changing the speed of some video I cannot change the speed of the audio to keep the audio in sync with the video. Or is there a way to sync the audio with the video after the video has had a speed change? This has probably been discussed before but I can't find it.

Thank you for responding. It is very late now and I am just getting to your responses so I can't be sure but I will work on the project tomorrow. However, as I remember the audio and video are still linked and I have not unlinked them but I am only getting a speed change on the video. In your second response you mentioned making a speed change of the audio - I tried using the speed change tool on the audio but got nowhere - IF this is how you thought I should change the audio speed. I will get to the testing tomorrow about the linked audio and video to make sure they are still linked. Again, thanks for your response. This may seem like a lame question but I need help on some of the most simple problems.

HVX200 speed changes in FCP . . .HELP!

So confused here . . . I appreciate any help people can offer . . .
Shot footage with HVX200 in 720p/24p mode at various frame rates (12,18,48,60). Trying to use it alongside my DVCPRO50 project footage (with the speed changes of course). I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
I KNOW that I should have shot in the 720p/24pn mode so that the excess frames would have been removed for 29.97 playback, but I tried using the Panasonic/Apple DVCPROHD Frame Conversion tool and NOTHING happens. I follow the instructions to a T, select the clip in the bin, select the plug-in from the tools menu and NOTHING happens at all, no message, no chime, nothing. I'm running FCP 5.1.2 in OS 10.48, Quicktime 7.13 — everything is up to date. ANY IDEA what I've done wrong? I even tried re-importing the 720 clips to no avail.

Welcome to the forums.
Shot footage with HVX200 in 720p/24p mode at various frame rates (12,18,48,60). Trying to use it alongside my DVCPRO50 project footage
You do realize that you are using HD footage in a standard def project, right? And that the camera does shoot DVCPRO 50. Just curious.
I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
If you drop the footage into a 29.97 timeline and render, it will play back at 29.97fps...it won't slow down or speed up. That is not how you adjust the speed. I often get footage shot 720p60, and if I want to just mix it with my other 720p24 footage, I drop it into the timeline and render. However, if I want it to be slow motion, I use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter.
But you said you tried that and nothing happened...so try this trick. Create a new project and copy the clips into that project, THEN try the converter. It is an odd bug, but that is what I do and it works great.
For more information, I blog about my experiences working with P2 and DVCPRO HD in general. CLick on Underdog to get there.

FCP7 Speed change with keyframes on motion tab

I am trying to change the speed of my video in FCP7 with keyframes. I am cueing where I want the speed change to begin and clicking on the motion tab in the
viewer. next I change the speed percentage and click a keyframe then I cue on my timeline to where I want the speed to go back to 100% and click the keyframe button in the motion tab. I render it to see it and the whole clip in the timeline is in slow motion. This does not coincide with what I am trying to achieve. Just want to start out 100% speed then go to 50% speed then back to 100% speed then the clip ends. Thanks.

that's probably way overkill in terms of the quality of material shot on an iphone. Is that the pixel dimensions of the original file from the iphone?
What's your end use for this material? The web? DVD?
And what are your sequence settings? make the timeline active and hit command-zero. in one of your posts you said 720 30p . 30p is actually 29.97 frames per second.
Because this is a non standard format, you may need to convert them to match your sequence settings. First thing to do is to take them into cinema tools and conform the clips to 29.97. This will slow them down slightly but there is no loss in quality. Each frame remains the same, they are just played slower. It may not work with this format, so you may need to convert them to a standard format as I said above.
If you still have the original files from the iphone, going back to them to do these conversions may be the best way to maintain quality.
If you have a short clip directly from the iphone and would like me to do a quick test of the (hopefully) best workflow, I would then be able to describe it to you concisely.

IMovie Speed Change.. Again? I know :(

I've been looking some topics about speed change and to do that iMovie has to convert the clip thus this will severely kills the quality of the footage.
But one thing I don't understand is, my camera, NEX-3 records 29.97 fps but even then it needs to be converted. Why is this? As far as I understand, if your footage is in NTSC frame rate, it doesn't need to be converted?
I also did try to do color grading in Adobe After Effects and export it in 30fps in Apple Intermediate Codec, still, it needs to be converted by iMovie before I can alter the speed.
Anyone knows the workaround? Maybe what codec / frame rate that I need to convert it to, before importing it into iMovie? Thanks.

Show us a link, please.

Speed Changes / Motion import

I have a particular shot -- I razor bladed in into 7 sections. Most are set to speed 100%, but some are set to 50%, 125%, etc. On two of the slices, I also used the "Curve from beginning" thing in the new speed change window (FCP v7)
OK now -- How do I import this sequence into Motion? I want to replace all the speed change effects in FCP with Optical Flow.
Can this process be streamlined or is is manual? IS there are way to maintain the curves in Motion?
Thanks
Steve

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.
