Time remapping issue

I have a clip that I want to play at a regular speed and then slow down at the end. When I make keyframes and adjust them in the time remap menu box I am running into problems with it slowing down to the desired speed but then speeding up the last couple of frames. What gives?
PS I have already watched Captain Mench's video....

It's a difficult concept. Your clip is, say, 120 frames, four seconds long. If you change the frame rate to something else, all of those frame must still play. You can get around this at least two different ways. Place your clip in an empty sequence and make your adjustments. Copy and paste only the piece that you want back into your main sequence.
Or you can place one additional time remap keyframe just a few frames before the end of the clip. This forces all of your unused frames to play between the second and final keyframe.

  • CS5 time remapping issues

    I have two problems with Premiere CS5 time remapping causing errors
    When I apply a normal speed change using the duration box from the pull down menu, the speed does change and the clip plays fine.
    When I apply the time remapping feature from the timeline, the clip either plays at the normal 100%speed and ignores the keyframes or it plays an altogehter different clip.
    I am editing HD footage 1920x1080 from a Sony Z1u captured via blackmagic intesity as motion jpeg.
    If I change the duration of the clip to 101% the keyframes are applied but the video is choppy and impossible to watch.
    The problem is unique to CS5 as far as I can tell, I used CS3 before with the same setup and that function was fine, but I have some avchd footage in this project and so I switched to cs5.
    comp specs
    Intel Core 2 quad

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your post Harm.  It is good to see that you still troll the forums.  You have helped me several times in the past.
    Using the blackmagic card solves a couple of problems.  ( in theory)
    First it gives you a true 1920x1080 video capture instead of of the hdv space.
    Secondly the mjpg functions as an intermediate so that the processor does not have to decompress the footage from hdv on the fly, and it takes up less HD space than 8bit uncompressed would.
    In addition the BM card allows for HD monitoring on an external HD TV and surround sound system for 5.1 audio.
    I have discovered a workaround for the time issue, and that is to apply an affect to the clip and it forces premiere to render the clip and that seems to fix the time issue.
    The black magic website probably explains this better than I can.  But under CS3 which I moved from a few months ago, the combination really worked well.

  • Is there a time remapping issue in After Effects CC?

    I use time remapping for mouth animation among other things.  I have 15 mouths that I was using with the “toggle hold keyframe” selected and “preserve frame rate when nested” box checked.  I had been working for about 12 hours (always replaying each sentence after animating it.  Out of nowhere, I went back to check the last sentence I had just animated and it was all messed up -  replaced with random mouth shapes - not the ones I chose.  Then I went back to the beginning and it changed the first several hundred time remapping key frames to the same shape.  I’m freaking now because not only did I lose the work but how do I know that if I redo it it won’t just happen randomly again?  I’m using a mid 2010 Mac Pro with 96 GB of ram.  Thanks for any info.

    Thank you very much for your responses!  Dave LaRonde, I'll be sure to give more spec info up front next time.  Mylenium and Rick - makes sense, I'll keep that in mind going forward.
    Luckily, and I totally forgot this in the moment, I turned on Time Machine that morning after months of having it turned off for hard drive space reasons - and so I’m back in business! 
    Thanks again Gents

  • Time remapping issues

    Has anyone had this problem?... I open an old FCP file to make some changes, but when I play back the timeline, some sections appear to have been speed up via time remapping. I end up trying to re-edit the whole thing. This has happened on at least 3 occasions.
    Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

  • Time remapping issues Premier Elements 11 windows 7 PC

    I submitted some clips into my timeline that are about 2 minutes long. I used the remapping tool and specified that the whole clip be played in 10 seconds. It works. The problem I have now is a grayed out clip that follows the remapped clip and plays as a blacked out screen until the next clip comes into play. I am assuming this is the unused time slot from the remapped clip. I have tried to move my clips in front or behind the grayed out clip, and tried deleting and closing the gap. Nothing is working. How do I resolve this issue?

  • Premiere Pro CS5/Twixtor Time Remapping Issue

    Hi,
    Would like some help on this issue if possible thanks
    Anyway.  Right now I am playing with Twixtor and applying the slow motion effect to one of my clips.  However, I am experiencing some issues as the more I slow motion certain parts of the clip, the clip as a whole shortens from its original length.  Intuitively, I went to my timeline and clicked on the right hand edge and attempted to drag it out in order to extend the clip.  However, It won't expand as I thought it would .  I know this issue is easily solvable, can somebody lend me a hand?
    Thanks.

    Your intuition to lengthen the sequence is sound since the plug-in is not able to change the length of sequence as required if you are trying to slow it down. There are a couple of ways to solve this. See this video starting at 3:42:

  • Time remapping lip sync issue.

    I'll try to explain this the best way I know how.
    I created a pre-comp for my character mouths (as shown in the picture below). I then created a Null Layer and parented the Time Remapping of the mouth pre-comp to the Null Layer "rotation" using the principals of this video:
    Part 1: "Using Time Remapping For Lip-Sync Part 01"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5GIOtfYWpQ
    Part 2: "Using Time Remapping For Lip-Sync Part 02"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNJgUz1t2rU
    I'm sure this is not new.
    My problem is that when I render the video the mouths do not reflect what is shown during editing... While I am editing I can ram render a small portion and the mouths will line up as I intend but once I do a final rendering they are slightly off at times... What am I doing wrong here?
    The screen shot shows that I am in my 'Mouths, LG' pre-comp and the cursor is situated to show "layer 23" in the "Mouths, LG pre-comp"... Now the preview window is showing one mouth for layer 23 (the wrong mouth) and when I open layer 23 you can see that a different mouth is shown towards the top left side of my attached image. I believe whatever is causing this is the problem but I don't know how to make it right.
    I'm running windows 7 64bit if that matters and I am running After Effects CS6 Version 11.0.2.12
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you nesting your Mouths comp in a main comp, enabling Time Remapping on that nested Mouths precomp and then animating?  I can't tell from your screen shots.
    And BEFORE nesting it, I'd also make that Mouths comp 1 frame shorter to eliminate that one empty frame at the end.
    Nothing like instructions in the wrong sequence, right?

  • Adobe After Effects CC Time Warp Issues

    Anyone on here proficient in After Effects CC? I'm attempting to mess around with time warping to see if I can mimic the slow motion effects of a high frame rate camera, but the issue I'm running into is that when I slow down the footage at a certain point in the clip, it will slow down, but when it's back to real time speed the frames don't match up. And I haven't found a way to stretch out the length of the clip so the frames do match up. Any advice?

    You need to read up on time remapping. For example: you have a 30 second clip shot at 30 fps and you want to play a clip at normal speed for the first 10 seconds, then, and heres the hard part to wrap your head around, slow down the next 10 seconds to 1/4 speed to simulate shooting the clip at 120 fps, then play the last 10 seconds at normal speed. The hard part to wrap your head around when you do this is that the middle 10 seconds will now take 40 seconds to playback.
    Here's what you do:
    Enable time remapping
    Note that there are 2 keyframes, one at the first frame and one that is 1 frame past the end of the video (I won't explain why it is there but trust me it makes sense)
    Move your CTI to the 10 second mark and set a new keyframe by clicking the diamond in the Keys column in the timeline
    Move the CTI to the 20 second mark and set a new keyframe
    Extend the length of the composition to one minute and ten seconds (this is some of the hard part to wrap your head around)
    Move the CTI to the end of the extended composition and set a new out point for your video by pressing Alt/Option + ]
    Now move the CTI to the one minute mark (one minute because the middle 10 seconds is now 40 seconds long so the end of the slow mo section will move from 20 seconds to 1 minute
    Select the last two keyframes and drag them to the left until the keyframe originally set at 20 seconds snaps to the one minute mark and the last keyframe is one frame past the out point of the clip
    That's all there is to it. Your new modified video plays at normal speed for the first 10 seconds, 1/4 speed for the next 40 seconds, then resumes normal speed. You can check out the speed graph to verify the speed change and even modify the curves so the change in speed is smoothed out, but if you do that you should have decided before you moved the last two keyframes and set two additional keyframes at san 10:10 and 19:20 to give you a few frames to ramp up and ramp down your slow mo.
    The thought process is the same no matter what technique you use to change the speed in the middle of a clip. If you want to return to normal speed after the speed change you need to define the outpoint of the speed change and move the outpoint and the end point of the speed change down the timeline for slowing down a clip or up the timeline for speeding one up to return the clip to normal speed.
    Now all you are stuck with is how to make the slow motion segment look smooth because you are repeating four frames at a time. Twitter is probably the best tool for this but it is expensive. AE's frame blending does a fairly good job on most video. Some video will not successfully slow down more than 1/4 speed no matter what software you use. Some video will slow down to 1/10 speed just fine using nothing more than Time Remapping. It all depends on the shot.

  • Time Remapped Dolly Shot, Smooth in AE, but Jerky in Rendering

    Hi,
    My workflow:  Canon h.264 original footage transcoded to ProRes 4444 in Compressor.  Imported to HD project in AE, footage time remapped to smooth out uneveness in dolly speed, with Frame Blending turned on.  AE 5.5 Mac OS 10.6
    My question is that the ram preview  below is relatively smooth, but when I exported a PR4444 sequence to FCP, once in the timeline it's jerky and stutters. (Forgive the sloppy mask, it's now fixed).  The stutters and jerks also appear when playing the 4444 clip back in QT10, and Vimeo.
    Any suggestions?  Pixel Motion needed?

    Depends on what your set up is in FCP. I'm going to assume you know what you're doing in FCP as far as how to set sequences properly and you know the limitations of your machine.
    > Yes I'm aware of the timeline issues, and had hoped that once exported/rendered out of fcp that it would go away.  The above link was a Vimeo compressed RAM preview out of AE And that plays smoothly!.  Not out of fcp however. <
    Well, exporting out of FCP is not really part of this equation. If you export to the codec you're using for your playback of the finished project, say, H.264 or MP4 or MPEG2, the clip will play perfectly within the capabilites of your machine and the player app you are using.
    > Would it help to see what it looks like out of fcp on Vimeo? <
    Nope. The vimeo clip will always play fine because, regardless of what it started out as, when you upload to vimeo it is transocded to the vimeo-friendly codec.
    > Do you think this is because of the heaviness of the 4444 clip?<
    Not liekly. Heavy, maybe, but ProRes is designed to be used without issues in FCP on Macs in Quicktime. One uses 4444 only if one needs the alpha. If you don't need the alpha, any of the 422s will work fine. I didn't see the mask you mentioned so I don't know why you're using 4444. It is not often that 4444 cannot be played in FCP unless the pixel dimensions are just too large or you've chosen a weird frame rate. In that case, the clip must be heavily processed before it can fit the timeline's settings.
    I find the time remapping and motion smoothing capabilites of Apple Motion's optical flow functions are completely adequate for all but the most extreme screwups encountered while shooting.

  • Time-remapping audio artifacts - pops/crackling/static

    I'm still not entirely sure why it happens but when I slow footage down with time-remapping in AE CS5-6 I can most of the time get these 2-3 frame audio popping sounds ( best way I can describe it, you could also describe it as a static spike or crackling sound, something that is noticeable different from the slowed down audio ). However I don't get it at anytime during ram previews, I'm only hearing them with rendered footage. Normally I'd just take those rendered clips and reduce the audio levels for those 2-3 frames but I'd like to see if there is a way to avoid it entirely.
    I've tried rendering in various codecs and matching the source footage settings exactly but haven't had any success in that direction. Again it's not in the source and it doesn't show up in ram preview, only after it's been rendered do you hear any of it. Any input and possible alternative approaches to solving this issue would be great I've run out of stuff to try.

    I don't believe the source is using MP3 or AC3 for the audio but I do believe it has some slight compression. It's nearly lossless so I don't understand why rending something with heavy time-remapping using something like Lagarith would cause these types of artifacts.

  • Premiere-AE copy paste and time remaps

    Hi!
    I'm trying to copy paste footage from Premiere CS 3.2 in to AE. Some clips contain the time-remapping effect and those clips are not turning out in the right way in AE. I just upgraded AE into 8.02 because I read somewhere that it should help, but that didn't seem to correct the issue for me. Any tips on the subject? Is the only way to get time-remapped footage from Premiere in to AE to export it out as lossles clips or is there some more workflow-friendly way to accomplish this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Good point. As a a not-so-much Premiere user except for capturing my HDV footage at home, this never has occureed to me, but I certainly can see that this may be important for other users ;-). They'll certainly get it right one of these days...

  • Keyframe irregularities with time remapping

    Just thought I'd post a screen grab of keyframe issues I've been seeing in case anyone at Adobe is paying attention. I can't recreate these bugs as they seem to only happen once in awhile. In this screen grab my selected clip is  00017.MTS and it's effect conrols are open in the source side monitor. At the point of the playhead the opacity is set to 0% but it is not fully transparent, it's opacity seems to be more like 50%.
    My system:
    Adobe CC Premier Pro
    Macbook Pro mid 2012
    2.7 GHz Intel core i7
    Nividia GeForce GT 650M 1024MB
    OS X 10.8.5

    The workaround is to do your time remapping keyframes and then nest it into a new sequence. Then apply the opacity keyframes to the new sequence.

  • AE CC:  Time-Remapping Glitch

    This was a problem in AE CS6 that I have complained about before.  It is not nearly as bad in AE CC, but it's still there.  Unfortunately it can be difficult to replicate with consistency.  It may have something to do with the conversions between "time" and "frames".
    The problem occurs when you have a sequence of layers (each layer taking up a single frame) that is precomped.
    For example, this expression can cause problems:
    thisComp.layer("frame controller").effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value*source.frameDuration;
    This is abstracting the time-remapping to another layer with a Slider Control.  It then takes the slider value (which represents frames) and converts it to a 'time' value.  I have found this to cause unpredictable results in CS6 and CC.  Sometimes it shows the correct frame, sometimes it doesn't.
    However, if I modify the expression as such:
    thisComp.layer("frame controller").effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value*source.frameDuration + source.frameDuration*.5;
    The result is always the same, and correct.  Here I am telling it to look at the 'middle' of the frame, rather than the 'start' of the frame.
    I hope this is helpful in some way.  I wish Adobe would fix this.
    I will remind you that this problem has never occured in all previous versions I have used.  I am fairly confident it is related to the new image caching system introduced in CS6.

    Sorry guys, I think I have done a poor job explaining this bug.  It has nothing to do with lip sync, or expressions.
    Mylenium seems to express some knowledge of the problem - that being the image caching feature introduced in CS6.  I did notice *less* of these problems with CC.  So it means that Adobe is aware of it and trying to fix it.  But I think something remains unstable in there. 
    When I considered the upgrade to CS6, I did a number of tests -- rendering out lots of our old work, to see if anything didn't render correctly.  And wow, was that something.  Most renders showed some kind of glitch -- all in our layer sequences (eyes, eyebrows, mouths, anything time-remapped basically).
    With CC, I did the same test, and the renders were all perfect, as they were in CS5.5.  So I figured they must have fixed the problem, and they did to a large extent.
    But now after using CC for a few weeks, I am seeing these problems crop up again.
    AE has no problem with 'image sequences', that is, a series of still images files, which are treated by AE as actual footage.  It seems to have issue with the sequencing of layers in a sequence, that is taking 20 layers, and using Keyframe Assistant - Sequence Layers.  I think this is because of the way AE treats Comps differently from Footage.  Footage is composed of discrete frames, with nothing inbetween each frame.  Comps however are treated with floating-point time.  Which is great when you *want* to 'slow down' a Comp, because it can do so smoothly.  But when that Comp contains a layer sequence, I think this floating-point time makes AE confused, because the Comp doesn't contain nice, infinitely-scalable interpolated keyframe animation, but instead discrete pieces of artwork with no interpolation possible.  My solution to this problem -- and it works -- is to add a 'half-frame' to the calcuation.  This I think reduces the likelyhood of incorrect math going on with the image cache, because it's less likely to 'round down' to the previous frame.

  • New development with time remap tool

    It turns out my time remap tool works just fine in other projects just not this one.

Is there a way manage rendered footage better? Compress it? I'm new to this motion graphics and would appreciate any help.
    thanx
    John

    John,
    Keyframing smooth moves takes a little bit of practice and a BIG Canvas window to really see what you're doing. You'll be using the Canvas window and the Motion tab of the Viewer window a lot for this.
    Once you have the Canvas window up-sized (but still keep it at "Fit to Window" or smaller), set it to Image+Wireframe mode. When you click on or highlight a clip in the Timeline, you should see the Wireframe for that clip in the Canvas window (as long as the playhead remains over that clip). But first, double click a clip in the Timeline to load it into the Viewer window then open the Motion tab.
    Depending on what you want to do, you can approach most keyframed motion tasks two ways; move the Wireframe in the Canvas window, or enter values in the Viewer window. I usually do a bit of both.
    When you set a keyframe that shows up as a green dot (Scale, Rotation, Crop, Opacity, etc), you can right-click on that keyframe and select "Smooth" from the contextual menu. You'll see the purple bezier handles added to the keyframe. You can leave them as they are, or you can move those handles to manipulate the desired action. But for items like the Center control (black dot keyframe), you don't have this option in the Viewer window. Say you want to move the center point over the duration of the clip. Set the beginning and ending keyframe - or just set the beginning keyframe then move the playhead to the end point and manually drag the Wireframe in the Canvas window to the new location and FCP will automatically add a new keyframe. You should now see the path of the clip shown in the Canvas window displayed as dotted line. Right-click on the end or beginning keyframe and select "Ease In/Ease Out" from the contextual menu. Now you should see the same purple bezier handles added. Again, you can use the handles to smooth out movement, or slow down or accelerate a clip (by extending or shortening the length of the handle). If you have a multiple keyframed motion path, you can make wonderfully smooth curves with the bezier handles.
    For more info, look up Bezier in the user's manual, or better yet, go to Amazon.com and buy Kevin Monahan's book; "Motion Graphics and Effects in Final Cut Pro."
