Imovie - slowing down and speeding up videos?

Hi, i have the latest imovie and i'm having difficulty knowing how to speed my videos up and slow them down. I can't find the option to do that. On the older version of imovie, i clicked ' media '
but the one i got from ilife..i'm just not sure.
Anybody know?

.. hmm, well.. nor sure about that 'better'.. I'm receiving a lot of 'help' mails esp, for that advice.. that JESDI app is a beast, and some people fail to mangle it
but, IF you manage to use it, the results are superb due to the pro-feature of 'frame blending', I excessively use it now for all my soccer-videos.. the iMovie slowmo often fails to avoid stutter on final DVDs.. with JESDI, I feel like a broadcast director

How do I speed up a video in iMovie 11?

If anyone can explain to me how to speed up or slow down a video in iMovie 11, it'd be appreciated.

Click on the small gear icon (cogwheel) at the start of the clip and select Clip Adjustments from the pop-up menu. In the Inspector that opens, in the Clip tab about halfway down you will see a slider named "Speed". It's best to choose a speed from one of the slider settings, that is, 12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400% or 800%. Typing in your own custom speeds may cause audio glitches in your exported movie - however, these may not be apparent in preview. This was an issue with iMovie '09 and may still prevail in iMovie '11, but I've not seen any posts about it in the iMovie '11 forum, so it may be safe to use custom settings now. But better to be safe than sorry I guess!
Note that just under the Speed slider there is a Direction check box labelled Reverse. Check (tick) the box to reverse the clip.

IMovie Troubles - Speeding up video

Is there any way to speed up video or apply slow motion in iMovie '08? I think there is in '06, so I'm frustrated that it isn't intuitive or existent in the new version.

Yes but im08 is basically a new application, it has some stuff im6 doesn't have and doesn't have some stuff that im6 does.

How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

How do you speed up video clips for Imovie 8?

Do you mean get 55 minutes of real time footage to show in only 55 seconds?
One way that might work but it will take a fair bit of work in multiple repeated steps.
Select all the footage on the timeline and then use the Turtle/Rabbit slider to speed it all up to the maximum speed allowed. This of course won't be any where close to 55 seconds.
BUT... export your movie back out to video tape or to a full quality DV format quicktime file. This speeded up version becomes "normal" time. Now reimport to iMovies. Since this is now normal speed as far as iMovie is concerned, you can again use the slider to speed the whole thing up to the max.
Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.

Why can't I speed up video clips in iMovie for iOS?

in iMovie 2.0, it allows me to slow down the video clip, but how come it doesn't let me speed up the clip?

Looking at the article you linked, this is all it actually says about video speed:
You can change speed on videos and even do picture-in-picture on iOS devices. The changing speed setting is great for iPhone 5s who can record slo-mo video at 120 frames per second.
As this states, you'd think that 120fps would be necessary to slow down video, otherwise it starts to look choppy. If you speed it up you're basically just dropping frames, right? Still a mystery why we can't speed up in iMovie.

MPEG4 video from imovie is sluggish and audio out of sync

Hi y'all,
I am new to this. So I need some hand holding here. I am working with video that was exported in MPEG4 video from imovie on a mac.
The Camera I used is a Sony FX7 HD camera with SD tape.
So Now I am trying to edit the video using Premiere Pro CS3 creative suite.
Import into CS3 is fine. Playing the imported video in the source monitor is fine as well. All looks well.
However, here are the challenges I am having:
1. When I try to play it in the Program monitor its very sluggish. Audio plays fine but picture lags behind.
2. And once I edit the the video and try to export it as flash video or as a windows media, the video and audio are out of sync.
The video is choppy as well.
Details: source video is 720x480 and trying to export to 320x240
My project details are:
DV-NTSC standard 48khz
Video is 10 min long

OK, not my choice of workflows, but... I assume that the MP4's are H.264 encoded. There are many of these. Three common ones are Lead, MainConcept and Apple. Some find that one works better than the others. These are not the ONLY versions, but are common. You might want to explore others, depending on which one you have installed. G-Spot can tell you which you have.
Next, you can Render your Timeline, to get things as smooth as possible.
Note that the MP4 files are heavily compressed already. Quality has been lost, and there is nothing that can be done about that. When you Export to, say DVD, you will recompress that material, and loose even more.
In the future, have your Mac-person do the Capture to .MOV [Animation CODEC]. Or, do it yourself to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio.
Not sure of any other ways to get the MP4's playing more smoothly. Much will depend on both your CPU and on your system's I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type and how they are utilized.
Good luck,
Hunt

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing

Download and import YouTube videos to iMovie for editing
YouTube always provides people with raw video materials on all sorts of things happened worldwide in real time. Video lovers are fond of downloading these files as private collection, even using video editors like iMovie to do further editing of their favorite ones, so as to import them to portable devices like iPod, iPhone, PSP, Blackberry, etc. for playback, or upload to their own websites to share with others, or do something else as they like.
However, not all the people have found a proper way to download YouTube videos, not to mention how to add these files to iMovie for editing. YouTube videos are in the format of FLV, which is not a workable format in iMovie, so if you want to import YouTube videos to it without trouble, you should convert FLV files to iMovie compatible formats such as MPEG-4 and MOV in advance. With the special intention of solving these two problems, this guide will show you how to download YouTube videos and import them to iMovie for editing step by step. If you are in need, just feel free to go along with it.
Step 1: Download, install and run Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac
This converter can process downloading and conversion simultaneously. Once you launch it, the interface below well pop up.
Step 2: Add URL, select output format and set save path
Press tag “Add URL” in the above interface, and then the following window will appear. Just copy and paste the URL of the YouTube video file which you want to download and convert to the text box after “URL”. Then select a supportable format for iMovie by clicking the drop-down list of “Convert To”. Here I choose MOV for example.
Afterwards, you can insert the storage file name in the text box of “Save As”, if not, the program will generate one automatically. Here I save my file as “mycollection”. Meanwhile, you are allowed to hit “Browse” in the opposite side of “Save To” to specify the destination folder. By the way, if you want to save the original FLV files, you are allowed to tick the checkbox “Save FLV File” to achieve this goal.
Step 3: Custom
This program enables you to adjust video and audio parameters like codec, bit rate, aspect ratio, frame rate, sample rate, and channels, so that you can change them randomly according to your own demands. Generally speaking, the options which refer to values are always in condition of the larger values, the larger file size, but better quality. Do remember click “OK” to save your custom settings.
Step 4: Download and convert
Once all the settings are done, you can click “OK” button to start. The following window will show you the progress of downloading and conversion.
Step 5: Import the output MOV files to iMovie
As soon as the YouTube video files have been downloaded and converted to MOV or other iMovie workable format, you can click “Open” at lower right corner of the above interface to find out the output files. Afterwards, launch iMovie, and click File > Import to add the output files to iMovie for editing.
Tips:
1. This program supports batch tasks so that you can download multiple YouTube video files in batches at a time.
2. Pavtube YouTube Converter for Mac adopts multi-threading technology, which makes its download speed is faster than any other similar YouTube downloader.
3. Besides YouTube.com, it can also automatically detect and download online videos in the format of .flv, and f4v from many other video-sharing websites, like Yahoo Video, Myspace, Google Video, Fox and more.
4. It also provides users with conversion function, with which you can convert any YouTube FLV/F4V files to other formats like MP4, MKA, WAV, AC3, MKV, FLV, MP3, M4A, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MPG, etc. at will.
5. If you only use it as a YouTube downloader without format conversion, you can take it as a piece of freeware.
All right, this guide is ending up now; hope it will do you a favor while downloading video files from YouTube as well as importing them to iMovie for further editing.

It's a clip from CNN (with all credits etc. added). When one refers to it as a clip posted on "YouTube", then people understand the quality will be poor.
I've watched television go from everything shot on a tripod with clean, meticulous editing rules, to almost anything goes. It has to do with cultural reference.

New ipad 3 & transfering & editing HD video in imovie....

I LOVE the new ipad 3 and want one. My question is...with the iPad 3....will you FINALLY be able to transfer HD 1080p video shot with a canon dslr like the T3i to the ipad via the Apple cam kit....and then BE ABLE TO EDIT THAT VIDEO IN IMOVIE?!!!! Lol
Thats all i wanna know. Love my ipad 1st gen....but skipped the ipad 2nd gen cause it couldnt do this. I am a photographer/videographer/blogger who travels alot, and I LOVE the form factor of the ipad and all it does.
But this is the one sticking point for me. I know there will always be things a laptop or desktop can do that an ipad isnt meant for....however...Tim Cook keeps stressing about a "Post PC world"....and this is a real world application. People shoot high quality video with dslrs and would like to edit that video while on the road. It seems like the umbilical cord has been cut btwn the ios devices and computers with the icloud and syncing....but not being able to load and edit video directly onto your ipad keeps the device stuck in the umbilical cord days. I find it very annoying.
The new retina display and faster speed make it the perfect device to edit videos while on the road. I just hope i will be able to upload my 1080p video shot with my canon dslr directly to my ipad and edit it in imovie. I dont want to have to wait to get home to my imac.

iPad only plays AVIs that conform to this spec:
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
I am not sure what iMovie will edit though.
Once you open iMovie and select start project-you should be able to select video from camera roll.

How to make a time lapse video in iMovie using a point and shoot camera?

I recorded an approx. 45-minute long video on my Canon point and shoot digital camera, then imported it on to my computer. (The file format is .MOV)
Now I would like to turn this video into a time lapse, of about a minute or two long. I know that iMovie HD has a time lapse feature, but it seems to only be for camcorders?
How can I import this .MOV file and turn it into a time lapse?

Kirk, I think Nancy wants to just take a frame from her video every minute or so, so that the 45 minute video runs for, say, 45 seconds.
I don't think she wants to "speed it up" and make it run at breakneck speed, but wants to put together frames taken at a particular interval ..e.g; one frame per minute.
I'm sure you know how best to do that using QuickTime. Any suggestions?
(..Otherwise, Nancy, choose a point in your video - using iMovie - about one minute into the video and then use 'Create Still Frame' (or ShiftApple'S') and make the new still frame just a few moments long ..repeat through your 45 minute movie. Drag all those 45 stills together and you have a time-lapse movie. You could make each of them one-and-a-half seconds long, and apply a half-second Cross Dissolve between each of them. You'd then have a less "stuttery" and smoother time-lapse video..)

D-Link iPhoto '11 videos from iMovie '11 - SLOW SLOW SLOW

Hi there,
I have a slow workflow in iMovie at the moment. I have only 1 project (having cleaned out to isolate the issue). But many videos in iPhoto. That are not needed for iMovie. They're just clips from my phone. Is there a way that I can permanently d-link iPhoto videos from iMovies event library? Without moving the iPhoto library or iMovie projects and Events to another location? I want to use iPhoto in just the same way as I am, and iMovie too, but without the 2 slowing each other down!
I have rejected all of the clips. This has not worked. Moving rejected to trash doesn't seem to work either. Either does nothing or crashes.
This link discusses the issue in earlier versions. Have we a solution yet?
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=477746
If i absolutely need iMovie to run 'like a pro app', can I just temporarily rename the iPhoto library, and then run iMovie. Then revert when I have finished. Will this cause further problems?
I have trashed preferences and caches.
Thanks in advance.
Ben

I dont have an answer, but at least your not alone. I am having what sounds like the same exact problem. I have tried shifting more memory ect w/o success.
Please include me on any solutions.

FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

I have been using iMovie HD and it looks like its corrupted and cannot re-install it since I lost the disk image.
I am thinking of going to FCE over upgrading to iLife 09.
Does FCE helps making better quality videos than imovie?

if your source is miniDV/Standard - yes.
if your source is 720p or iFrame - no.
in terms of speed and simplicity - iM09 is 'better'.
in terms of options and feature - FCE is by far superior.
note: iM09 is no 'upgrade' of your version, but a from ground off new app.
another note: FCE has a very steem learning curve, but after managing that is a fantastic tool!

How do I speed up video clips?

I have iLife 08 but just downloaded iMovie HD 6 so I could do some more video editing features.
I have about 5 clips that total about 55 minutes of footage. I want to shrink this down to 55 seconds. The Video FX in iMovie don't really help me do that.
How can I speed up the video?

Now just repeat as often as needed to get it as fast as you want. Export back out, reimport, adjust speed, export, import, adjust, etc.
