Speeding up footage

How can you speed up the footage you have on Imovie? to clarify - if i have footage of someone cutting hair and its runs 15 minutes but i want to show the whole cut in fast motion and condense it to 2 minutes how would i do that?
Is it even possible?

Yes you can. Click the editing tab on the bottom right side. click on video TX, then scroll down till you see fast/slow/reverse. Click that and you can do what you want to the clip you have highlited. Play with all the effects, its kinda fun, no wait it is fun!

  • CS4 - Source window showing red, black & speed up footage

    Hi people
    We are editing some HDV footage using PP CS4.
    Has all been going well ... but ...
    We have captured footage using HDVSplit (to eliminate issue of video and sound getting out of sync) and the footage plays fine thereafter via windows media player and VLC ..
    Then using PPs Media Browser to import into the project several things seem to be happening to some clips ..
    We are experiencing PARTs of an imported segment of footage are coming up red or black in the source window... and in some instances the source timeline shows the footage compressed (speed up) and with the rest of the segment on the timeline showing diagonal lines.  The speed up footage (100 frames per second rather than 25) can be corrected by adjusting the speed, just unsure why it is happening.  We haven't found a way to correct the patches of footage which are coming up red or black in the source window.
    Welcome any suggestions ..
    Kind regards
    Jen

    hi

    Has all been  going well ... but ...
    you mean most of the time everything works OK...but sometimes you have bad things happening?
    I think you have to supply more info re: what you are capturing and what computer you're using ( specs ) and so on.
    I didnt feel like I had enough info to make any suggestions but hope you get things fixed up OK

  • Speeding up footage: Best in FCP or does Optical Flow work better?

    Quick consensus guys: I have footage of a woman rolling a burrito, but unfortunately she did it verrrrrrrry slow! I know in FCP I can simply change the speed there, but I was wondering if Optical flow also works better for "Fast-motion"?
    I know optical flow is more for simulating a smooter "over-cranking" effect or ramping, but what about for my application here?
    As always, thanks for your time and advice.
    -Mike

    And I forgot to imply, using optical flow would be in Motion.

  • How to force a shutter speed on footage that strobes due to LED lighting?

    I shot some footage of a speaker against a projected backdrop that had LED lights and didn't have time to find the right shutter speed before it actually started. So now the background strobes quite frequently random colors due to them being out of sync. During the break I found that 1/60th of a second shutter speed evened it out enough to be watchable. So part 2 is okay but part 1 is horrible. I've already tried a slew of plugs in FCP and am stuck. I shot some burlesque footage a while back that had this same issue but turned it into old aged film and you can't tell. But this is for a client that kind of needs this to be clear for training. Help please! I know Shake has the power to do this, but not sure where the tool is...???

    The best way to deal with stuff like this is to be creative with it. I'm sure some of the regulars to this forum have heard this story many times before but I'm going to tell it again anyway. I was working on a movie in Seattle that was shot on 35mm. We'd shoot one day and get the telecined tapes back the next day (or the day after if there were a lot). The last day of shooting came along, and the crew packed up and left for LA the next morning, with the post guys staying in Seattle to continue the edit. We got that last tape back after they'd left and guess what? One of the camera angles in a conversation scene was completely out of focus. The other guy was fine but every shot of the main character was unusable. Everyone had left - there was no way we could reshoot it, so we put our thinking caps on and ended up cutting in the good angle as a flashback during another scene. The result was awesome and far more powerful than the original scene would have been, and we'd never have found it if that angle hadn't been out of focus. I want to shake that AC by the hand if I ever see him again.
    So try to think of a creative way around the problem and it could end up being even better.

  • Every fifth frame is repeated when speeding up footage

    Hello, I have some footage recorded at 29.97 fps and I am trying to speed it up to make a timelapse. I import the footage into my sequence and click the 'match sequence settings' option so the sequence is at 29.97 fps as well. The problem I have is when I right click the clips and change the speed/duration to 2000% (I also tried 1500, 1800, 2400), every fifth frame is repeated. Is there a better way of going about this? Thanks.

    Hello, thanks for your response. I am using CS6. I have done some troubleshooting thanks to Michael MTT and have tried importing some footage from my 7D at 29.97 as well. It seems to have the same issue. However, if I export the footage and import it back into premiere, all of the frames are there, so it seems like it is just doing this for the preview.
    If I view my sequence settings, the preview file format is P2 1080i-1080p 50Hz DVCPROHD, the codec is DVCPRO HD 1080i 50Hz, the width/height is 1920x1080, and the maximum bit depth and render quality are both unchecked. It seems to me that it isn't previewing the fifth frame to run more smoothly, which is fine with me. Is this normal for Premiere to do? If it doesn't seem like there's a problem I'll go ahead and mark this as resolved.
    Thanks for the help and suggestions.

  • Speed Up Footage

    Hi
    I've got some video clips in Motion and I want to change the playback speed of the clip. Is there a way to do this?
    Preferably, I'd like to keyframe the speed, but a static speed value would also do fine.
    I'm pretty new to Motion, but so far I'm liking what I'm seeing.
    Thanks,

  • Speeding up the footage more than 1000% but with transitions

    Hey there,
    I am trying to speed up the footage of a view out of an airplane window in Premiere Pro CC. I basically want to have a view over the whole landscape, let's say in a height of 300m, and then speed this view gradually up until the airplane lands, and all this within around 3-5 seconds seconds.
    The first problem I have is that I seem to not be able to speed my footage up to more than 1000%. If I wanted to have a time lapse between being up in the air and landing on the runway within like 5 seconds that is definitely not enough.
    The second problem is that I don't want to start the timelapse sudden, but have a transition when changing the speed. Normally, I do that with these blue little handles to get a S-curve for my speed of a certain clip. When I tried googling it considering a higher speed than 1000% someone only suggested to export the speeded clip, import it again and then speed it up again. But then there is no gradually speed up possible, it only works for the same speed over the whole clip
    Summarizing these problems, I can't find a way to speed my footage up to more than 1000% without loosing the effect of a gradually S-speed-curve.
    Does anyone have an advice on how to solve this problem, especially focussing on my specific clip?
    Thank you and sorry for my english.
    Peter

    You should not have to render your captured material. If the capture settings match the sequence settings (conform this by checking item properties for both) then no rendering is necessary except for effects and filters.
    Offline editing (editing in low res and capturing in full res) is not a function available in FCE.

  • Footage not rendering that i have modified in 24fps

    I am trying to export and render footage that is at 24fps on my timeline.  I took my clip that was gopro3+ footage shot at 48fps and 1440x1920 and slowed it down to 24fps and created a short video.  However, I had to get a few clips back up to normal speed and not the slow motion at 24fps.  So I sped the speed up 1000 times on a few clips.  Now, those clips won't render or export. 
    I am using MAC OS X 10.9.2 software on a brand new computer with the latest version of ADOBE PREMIER PRO on the Creative Cloud.  I am working with gopro hero 3+ footage shot at 1440x1920 and 48fps that i have modified to 24fps. 
    Please let me know if you need any other details. 
    And please don't delete this thread Mr. Simon.   I would really like to actually get some help to solve the issue. 

    I tried to re-edit the original file and render it as 48fps instead of 24 but it seems the issue is just when I speed the footage up.  Any footage that is sped up won't render and then premier will shut down periodically too.  It seems the problem is isolated to the speed issue.  I also have some shadowing, time mapping and levels I have worked on within the clip. 

  • Playback of 720 24pn footage

    I have a project that was shot on the Panasonic P2 camera, I have the footage in my timeline and it plays at 100% but the actual speed seems to be less than 50%. I'm not sure why. Compressor seems to be correct and the files are straight from the P2 card. also it seems to be a bit stuttery how can I smooth that out. I'm using FCP7.
    Thanks
    Mark

    That may be as I did not change the settings on the camera when I rented it. I saw that it was 720 24pn and expected that would be ok. Guess I'll have to manually speed the footage up. It's a good thing I didn't need the audio.
    Thanks

  • Optimal settings for encoding HDV 1080i footage to SD dvd

    I have footage recorded from an HDV camcorder and edited in FCP 1080i 60. It is fast moving sports footage shot with a high shutter speed the total running time is 40 min. I have encoded it to DVD by taking the HDV 16:9 FCP sequence dropping it to a 4by3 DV sequence to get the window box 4by3 aspect ratio and exporting this sequence as an mov. This mov was then encoded with compressor dvd 90 min best settings
    I was not able to find a quick way to do the aspect ratio change in Compressor 3. Please let me know optimal settings.
    The big problem however is how compressor has dealt with the high speed moving footage. Played from the DVD on a sd tv the motion is terrible. It looks like the interlacing is all off and the image doubled up. The slow mo footage used in the piece is fine.
    What are the optimal settings to smooth out the motion?

    this ones been discussed to death many times in the past John

  • Footage is 'jerky'

    Hello,
    I exported my film from encore and watched it to discover the footage appears 'jerky'. It isn't horrid, but noticeable to the trained eye. My test audience didn't seem to notice, but I can clearly tell. It looks like the footage is missing a few frames per second. I hope this makes sense. I'm not sure if it is the storage device (standard 4.7gb dvd), the burn speed, the footage, etc.
    I am unable to successfully use Dynamic Link (long story short it causes a glitch for no darn reason).
    Details:
    I exported uncompressed from PP2.0
    Imported into AE to add a 'film effect' (Film Magic Pro) and then exported uncompressed. I wasn't sure what format to use in AE for the output moduel so I used the default Video for Windows. I posted on the AE forum, but have not been able to determine if this was the proper format to export for intended DVD use.
    Then imported into Encore, which demanded transcoding for 24 fps (23.### fps) footage. I then built the dvd for a test viewing and it turned out 'ridged/choppy'.
    Any clues/suggestions guys? The footage was shot 24p using a DVX-100a
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The pans when capturing will be jerky.
    How do the clips play in the canvas, viewer and QT Pro Player?
    In addition, how about some specs for hardware, RAM, dedicated internal media drive for footage, FCP and OS versions?
    You have a couple of configurations in your sig, and I trust you aren't playing the footage off the internal HD of either the MP or MPB and that you don't have the cam and external HDD playing off FW.

  • Best Formula for Timelapse footage

    I have heard everything from rolling on say some clouds for set amount of time with the camera locked down on a tripod and then speeding the footage up to like 2000% in FCP. I have heard some people achieve a smooth time lapse by using a still camera to capture the images. For those that have done smooth timelapses please share your thoughts and suggestions. There is a show I watch on A&E called "The First 48" that uses a ton of smooth timelapse footage during the show. I want my footage to look like that.

    Hello DVX100Shooter,
    the most important factor for me is the location - make sure you film somewhere, where nobody will step into the accidentally
    It all depends very much on what you want to shoot. If your timeframe for filming is not longer than 15 min you can easily get away with simply importing the clip and speeding it up in FCP - it does look smooth enough.
    For shots up to an hour, I would recommend a different capture software that actually captures your footage at a rate of, say, 1 frame/sec. I like to use BTV Pro for that (http://www.bensoftware.com/) and the results are very good. I then import the resulting clip into FCE and adjust the speed/duration to my needs. This has the obvious advantage that your HDD is not being filled up with hours of video, in order to create a few clips.
    Another capture software is iStopmotion - it kept crashing on me, but others have reported excellent results.
    If you want to produce the kind of amazing clips, you see sometimes in documentaries (e.g. from sunrise to sunset in 10 sec.), you'll have to employ different methods of shooting, as you will have to get all the footage on one tape (changing tapes will interupt - unless you're very fast :-)). A major problem can be power supply, when shooting outdoors .... you'll need good planning and logistics here.
    Professional camcorders can capture real time lapse, whereas consumer and prosumer models only do so-called "interval" filming (e.g. they shoot 1 sec every 30 sec). This will result in a very stuttering video.
    I have read somewhere on discussions that Adobe Premiere has a function that lets you control the camera, so you can capture single frames at reguar intervals. That would be an excellent tool for extended timelapse capture - granted you keep the power up and running.
    I've heard good things about building timelapse shots out of single photos taken with a still camera, but have to say I have no experience with that.
    hope this helps

  • VARISPEED FASTER PRODUCES JUDDERY FOOTAGE

    Hi,
    I'm cutting some footage shot on P2, HVX200, in the States, brought back here to edit in UK in FCP.
    The DP shot a lot of footage at 48, idea being we could use some slo-mo and speed up 200% to use at normal speed.
    Trouble is at 200% the image is way too fast for normal speed.
    Any any speed lower than 200 (121, 142, 180 etc. I've tried 'em all!) is super jerky without frame blend and super blurry with frame blend.
    Shot 24fps and editing at 24 so that shouldn't be a problem?
    I really need to speed this footage up and have it look OK so any ideas MOST welcome!
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The speed changing in FCP is not that good. You can get much better results
    in Compressor by turning on the Frame Controls.
    Here are some excellent and concise explanations by Jon Chappell:

  • Quality Issue - 1h 36min DV (FCP)movie on idvd6

    In the 1h36min (plus motion menus) movie I've tried burning, I have lots of speeded up footage that tends to pixelate and cause some dvd players to stutter over certain parts worse than one of GWBush's speaches.
    Is there anyway I can reduce the data rate myself without taking out the speedy clips in the movie? I guess I can't use "Compressor" with idvd, or have "compression markers" provided in Final Cut to help, right?
    Any tips or links to tips would be appreciated!!
    Sincerely, Mr. Coasters!
    (PS-Sorry George - I stutter too sometimes.)

    I have lots of speeded up footage that tends to pixelate and cause some dvd players to stutter
    Have you tried rendering your speeded-up clips as DV stream video, and then importing the rendered clips into your FCP project?
    Speeding up your clips means dropping frames, potentially creating very large frame to frame content changes. Since MPG-2 compression works on the difference between adjacent frames, I can see how you might get pixelation as a result of the large changes.
