Timewarp Distorting My Video Clip?

So I have been using After Effects to edit my video game clips I recorded with a HD PVR for a little while and it has been going great. There is just one problem and that is that whenever I use Timewarp to slow down a clip it puts this weird distortion on the clip and I know its not supposed to do this because every video I see of someone using Timewarp it works fine. Does anyone have any ideas why it is distorting my clip?

Here is the raw video:

Here it is with the distortion

btw I'm using CS 5.5

Adding a video clip

I have a video and I want to add another video clip kind of in the background on top of the original video clip. How can I do that?
Thanks!

Put the video you want on top on V2. In the view popup on the right at the top of the canvas switch to Image+Wireframe. Grab a corner of the image to resize it. Move the image to reposition it. Drag an edge to rotate it. There's more you can do with the crop and distort tools.

How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline?

FCP keeps auto distorting my video when I drag it into the timeline. It keeps setting the motion aspect ratio to -12.5, then when I set it to 0 and render, the video has lost significant quality even though I have my motion render settings to: best. I figure it is this motion distort which is ruining my quality on render because the avi from the camera is ridiculously clean and un-pixelated. How do I keep FCP from auto-distorting my video? It makes no sense that it does, because at -12.5 aspect ratio, FCP is creating a letterbox for my video. I just want the video to fill the entire canvas that I chose! There must be a setting somewhere that I have missed, but I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Please help!
I have a video shot on my Pentax K-r that is 1280x 720p 25fps. When run it in quicktime pro, the inspector affirms this sizing. And in QTpro there is no letterbox present when the original is played.
In FCP I have the sequence settings at:
HDTV 720p (16:9) (which is 1280 720)
Timebase: 25
I have tried to turn anamorphic on, then off in the clip format settings, and also turn the anamorphic on and off in the sequence settings. No combination seems to correct the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you,
ML

Hi I have done some more digging and found this:
1) In the bottom left corner of FCPX, click the film reel so that you can see all your projects:
2) Select the project you are having problems with and then in the inspector window, click on the spanner icon in the lower right side:
3) Finally a window appears so that you can choose the settings for the video you are using:
Hope that helps

IMovie forcing pillarboxing on 16:9 video clip

I have a DV Widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) project and I am trying to import a 16:9 aspect ration video clip that I made in some animation software. I have "Automatic DV Pillarboxing and Letterboxing" deselected in iMovie's preferences, BUT everytime I import the 16:9 video into iMovie, iMovie insists on squishing it horizontally and adding pillarboxing to the sides of the video clip so that the video is distorted and useless.
How can I fix this?

That worked, thanks. MPEG Streamclip has saved the day for me a few times in the past when Apple products weren't cutting it so I am glad it's out there.
iMovie was jealous at first and wasn't playing nice with the clips - when I added transitions, iMovie was cutting parts of the different clips in here and there where I hadn't edited. The solution was deleting the transitions I had added, quitting iMovie and starting it again then adding the clips again after the restart.
Anyway, thanks for the tip Matti!

Rotating a video clip

Is there any way to rotate a video clip in FCE. The video needs to be rotated into an upright position. It is on its left side.
I might add that I found Effects >Perspective >Rotate, but it elongates the video and is now out of proportion.
So is there a way to do this where it doesn't tweak the video itself?
Thanks

Hmmm......something happens to the video when it's rotated. It doesn't play well, and seems like it's in slow motion. The video is of piano playing so now the fingers are way behind the touching of the keyboard and the audio. It's weird. I guess rotating the video also distorts it in that respect?
It also cuts off half of the video image. So where as the entire keyboard could be viewed before, now only 1/2 the keyboard can be viewed.
So is this just something that one has to accept when rotating a video? that it will be changed completely? and will not sync up -- movement to audio? Or should it still sync?

I show U HD records broken video clip on MBP 13"

hi.
recently i bought MBP 13" basic model..(i5)
unlike my previous model (mid 2010-c2d-2.4gz)
i show U records broken and distorted video clip...
oblique , slant lines.. all over.....
maybe it's because of codec...
i don't know...what the problem is..
it creeps me out...
there was no problem on my old MBP...
i think it is related with intel chipset (intel HD3000) ..
does any body have a solution to this ??
i really needs your help!!

What Studio X said, this sounds like an issue you should take up directly with iShowU's technical support.

How can I create a video clip that has multiple copies of the same subject playing at the same time? Basically like one person became 50 backup dancers!

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a single video clip where my original subject (dancer) is multiplied on the screen many times. Basically I am trying to create a background video for a dance team and want to make it look like an army of the same person dancing behind them. Amy guidance would be great!
Thanks

Motion ($50) can do this with a replicator.

HT4589 How do I move video clip clip up or down after setting letterbox, i used to be able to do this until i upgraded to 10.0.6

I used to be able to manually move my video clip up and down in the event the browser using one of the settings. It was a vertical settings that i would use to pull a video clip down after i applied a letterbox to the clip, so I could see the top of the the video clip that got blocked out by the letterbox. Still looking no luck....I used to be able to do this just upgraded to FCPX 10.0.6 now i dont have the setting..

think i might have solved my own problem the feature is not there i have to upgrade again to 10.0.7...this is getting annoying...

How do I sync multiple audio clips to one video clip?

I have video (with stereo audio from a camera mic), and for each take, there are also four additional mono audio tracks that line up with it. It was footage shot outdoors in the city, so I guess the filmmakers just wanted to have as many options for sound mixing as possible given how much background noise there would be. I have tried selecting the video clip and the four audio clips at once and selecting "synchronize clips," but it doesn't work. It spits out a synchronized clip that seems to have converted two of the mono tracks into one stereo track... and then disregarded the remaining two mono tracks. It's a mess. It's likely someone else will fine tune the audio once I'm done cutting the video together... but I'd like to get all the audio tracks properly synced from the start. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

CS5 Video Clip no longer auto plays

Hi,
I have a video player that I'm creating in Flash -- my video clips are on different scenes and I wanted a "menu" bar to allow the viewer to pick which scene they wanted. I found tutorials for various scrolling thumbnail menu bars and I eventually found a code which allowed me to click from scene to scene.
However, now that the menu bar works, the video clips do not automatically play anymore and I'm not sure why.
This is the link to my file: http://www.mediafire.com/?y7oofbwg444lnp8
I only have one action script on the scene, which is the top layer that has [AS]stop();[/AS]
I have two buttons on either side of the video clip:
[AS]on (press) {
          nextScene(); play();
}[/AS]
[AS]
on (press) {
          gotoAndPlay("SI", 1);
[/AS]
This is the coding for the scrolling menu bar:
Frame 1:
[AS]// Photoscroller 2.0
// Original Author: Barry Driessen
// E-mail: barry@e-factory.
// Upgraded by: Rob Gungor
// Email: [email protected]
// I don't care if u use this thingy, you don't have to
// give me credit for it. Just knock yourself out with it!!
// If you like it or have suggestions, just drop me an e-mail!
// **stupid people tip**
// to use this scroller as is --
//copy all the frames in the timeline (by right/(control //for mac) click, copy frames)
//then right click on your timeline and paste frames
//sorry if that is insulting, but when I first started this stuff, I was dumb too :-)
// Okay... First let's set some variables......
// Xphoto = startposition of the scoll image
xphoto = 258;
// Widthmovie = This variable hase to be set to the
// same amount of the moviewidth
widthmovie = 325;
// Scrollspeed = The scollspeed of the image (high numbers result in slow scrolls 10=average)
scrollspeed = 25;
// widthphoto = the width of your scrollable image in pixels
widthphoto = 2116;[/AS]
Frame 2:
[AS]// Setting the xmouse to 0 in the centre of the movie:
xmouse = _xmouse - (widthmovie / 2);
// Setting the speed:
speed = (xmouse) / scrollspeed;
// If the speed is negative, the speed will be made positive here:
if (speed < 0) {
          speed = -(speed);
//new function courtesy of Rob
//basically says that if the mouse isn't betwen these two y points it won't work
//**stupid people tip**
//make sure that you figure out the top and bottom y points of your "photo" and insert them accordingly!
mouseposition = getProperty("/myself", _y);
if (_ymouse < 330) {
          speed=0;
if (_ymouse > 390) {
          speed=0;
// If the mouse moves to left, the photo will scroll to the right:
// (That makes sense.... Doesn't it!! ;-)
if (xmouse < 258) {
          xphoto = xphoto + speed;
// If the mouse moves to the right, the photo will scroll to the left:
if (xmouse > 258) {
          xphoto = xphoto - speed;
// Checking for the left end of the image:
if (xphoto > 258) {
          xphoto = 258;
// Checking for the right end of the image:
if (xphoto < -(widthphoto - widthmovie)) {
          xphoto = -(widthphoto - widthmovie);
// Placing the moviclip (photo) on it's new postition:
setProperty("photo", _x, xphoto);
[/AS]
[AS]gotoAndPlay (2)
// make sure this clip this in your movie when you copy it.
//**last stupid people tip**
// if you copy these frames into any other frames other than 1, make sure you change the frame that it repeats (ie. if you copy these 3 action frames into 5,6,7 "gotoAndPlay (6)")--
///ok duh-i know. :-)
// The mouseovers are quite simple. Just open the Movieclip "MouseOver"
// to see how it works...
//                                       Have fun!!!!!
//**i realized that it's more fun when drinking beer.
//-rg
[/AS]
Then inside the thumbnail, to make it serve as a button:
[AS]on (rollOver) {
          button2.gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
          button2.gotoAndPlay(16);
on (release) {
          // You can assign an actionscript to each Button in here:
          _level0.gotoAndPlay("my_target1");
}[/AS]
Thanks!

you need to remove:
gotoAndPlay (2)
so your video can play. you've embedded your flv into your timeline so it only plays when the timeline plays and that goto is preventing the timeline from playing.
of course, if you remove that the thumbnail code won't work.
bottomline: your project code is a mess and using an flv in a timeline is not what you should be doing.
you should have no code attached to objects, no frame loops and no flvs embedded in a timeline. you should attach your code to a timeline, user an enterframe loop and use an flvplayback component to play your flv(s).

Importing xbox 360 video clips into imovie 6.0.3sk

Hi, I have an xbox 360 that I would like to import some video clips off of onto my computer using imovie. I have a Powermac G4 with a dual 1.4 ghz cpu, 2 GB of RAM, and lots of HD disk space. I am using an ADS Pyro A/V link for capturing video. I have used this many times in imovie to capture video directly from a TV, VCR, DVD player, etc. For some reason when I hook up the cable from the xbox 360 to the Pyro (using either component connection or composite/RCA connection) and hit play in imovie to preview what's being converted, it can't process it. Sometimes it will show a bunch of pixelated squares, sometimes it won't show anything. Every once in a while it can process the sound, otherwise it doesn't show anything. After a few times, it says the pyro has been disconnected, although it obviously hasn't been. I've also tried directly importing without previewing it during the import, but that doesn't work either. I'm not sure if I need to set something a certain way? But I know you can import from the 360 because there are obviously many video clips floating around the internet taken straight from the xbox.
Anybody know anything about this or have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Nevermind...I figured it out. There is a little button on the video cable that toggles HDTV on or off. Apparently it has to be off. So if anyone else has this problem, hopefully they can learn from my mistake.

Sony DCR-DVD505 Handycam: Unable to get video clips, audio

Evaluating Adobe Premier. Hopefully helpful for other Sony DCR-DVD505 users.
Objectives:
1) Get videos from Sony DCR-DVD505 handycam into Premier Elements
2) Drag and drop various clips into Sceneline
3) Insert menu markers
4) Burn DVD
Stuck in Step 1, getting video from handycam, unable to get video clips (with audio)
First Try: NO AUDIO.
The Sony DCR-DVD505 burns a mini-DVD (1.4 GB) while recording. After "finalizing" the disk, the media may be imported into the computer. Streaming was supported by Windows XP driver but is no longer supported in Windows Vista. In fact, Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) does not even recognize the camera as a DVD drive! So downgraded to Vista SP1 and used the Sony Picture Motion Browser to import media into computer as MPG files. Each MPG file is a clip (corresponding exactly to camera record on-off sequence while shooting). Then opened up Adobe Premier Elements 8. Used get media to import all the MPG clips into "Organize". Dragged and dropped various clips...inserted a menu or two and...burned the DVD. PROBLEM: VIDEO OK, BUT NO AUDIO(?!). The MPG files on computer play fine (with audio) inside Windows Media Players. Read all sorts of nonsense about why Adobe Premier (probably old versions) cannot work with "low-quality/compressed" MPG and needs to be a particular type AVI soo....
Second Try: Capture VOB directly
Forget the camera. Insert the mini-DVD directly into computer DVD drive, create a new project and followed directions from "Lowdown on VOB" http://forums.adobe.com/message/2117743 and "tools to convert to DVI" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/415317. I loaded the VOB directly and dropped them into Timeline as advised by the second post (only hitch being the first VOB pertaining to the DVD menu is not recognized and is neither needed).
However, File > Export is always GREYED out (unusable). And the status at bottom right seems to be looping on "Background Rendering". DO I WAIT? In any case, the whole video is showing up as a single continuous stream and what I want are the clips from the camera?!
Then I tried Prism (again as per the second forum post mentioned above). It simply did something to process 30 minutes of video and crashed in the end without explanation - saying there was an error in conversion.
Is this AVI conversion even a good idea? How would I get my clips back??
Bottomline. My mini-DVD and imported MPGs plays fine in Windows Media Player. However unable to extract the camera clips (with audio).

Dawg, I have the Sony DCR-DVD305, and have been using it successfully for quite a while with PE7, with few issues, once I had a workflow nailed down.
I believe the 505 is basically the same camera, with some additional features.
This workflow worked for me in the past so I'll pass that along:
Sony Browser to PC as Mpeg.
Mpeg to Windows Movie Maker, output to DV-AVI, taking default settings.
DV-AVI imported into PE7.
This should also work for PE8.
Upon getting Cyberlinks PowerDirector v7, my new workflow changed to this:
I take the min-DVD directly from camcorder to my PC, and capture the disk via Power Director.
PD will convert the VOB's directly to DV-AVI Type 2 on one pass.
I then load this DV-AVI into PE7.
(PD v7 was pre-installed on my new PC from HP, or it can be purchased from Cyberlink).
Other options to try:
Copy the VOB's directly from the mini-DVD to your PC and use Prism to convert these to AVI.
Or load the VOB or Mpeg into PE, then use that to convert to AVI.
(Export to DV-AVI with PE8 is done with SHARE/PC, not Export under the File Menu, which is greyed out).
I've had many issues trying to work with Mpeg's and VOB's when loaded directly to PE with limited success.
So if you can get it converted successfully to AVI outside of PE, I've found this to be a better approach.
Post results, if any of this works for you...
Note: One other thing, if you are working directly with VOB's to PE, especially multiple VOB's from a single DVD, you can encounter out-of-sync issues between video and audio. If this occurs, review this link from Muvipix:
