Video FX- fast/ reverse/ slow problems?

Why is it that when i slow down the speed of a clip, it seems to jitter/ shake just a bit? Is that how it is supposed to happen.. Shouldnt the movement be smooth?
Thanks!

We wish!
At 29.75 pr 25 fps iMovie has to show each clip for a bit longer than normal, hence the jitter.
Professional slow motion is shot with a high speed camera, perhaps as much as 10,000 fps. Played back at 25fps gives the slow motion effect.

Making video start fast and slow down?

I am trying to avoid doing this in FCP because I know speed changed video can be jumpy...
Basically I have video that pans and I want to start fast, lets say 600% speed and slow down just at the end to 100%.
I know that in motion it doesn't work with percentages, so how's the best way to go about this. I tried variable speed, but It starts slow then speeds up...
Also, I would like to add a motion blur, is this achieved with activating motion blur in the render tab?
Thanks

Well, I had a bunch of videos that I overlaid with mattes to make it look like one continuous video... But the resulting video was 30 seconds and I needed it to be 5 seconds..
So I exported a QT movie and re-imported it into Motion. Then I just went to the Timing property and changed the speed to variable. This gave me a key frame at the beginning and end of the clip. So I just dragged the keyframe at the end to 150th frame (for 5 seconds).
But since I wanted to slow down the video just a tad at various points, I added a key frame to each area I wanted to slow. I then went into the Keyframe editor and made the interpolation to bezier, then just rotated the bezier to be horizontal. This slowed the video just a tad in each part.
I also changed the frame blending to motion blur blending.
Pretty straight forward once I got the hang of it.

Slow/fast/reverse in video effects

Hi I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?

I've just got the new iMac with iMovie 08. Does anyone know how I can get into the video effects and the slow/fast/reverse function?
Download and used the complementary copy of iMovie HD v6.0.4 if you want special effects/third-party plug-ins. iMovie '08 has no command structure for the threading of delayed third-party rendering modules. If you must use iMovie '08, create your special effects as either pre- or post-edits.

Slow/Fast/Reverse DOES NOT WORK

I have read other posts on this issue. When I attempt to apply this effect, it does not work. This is a new project in iMovie HD 6. Clips will not take this effect. It shows up in the preview fine but will not apply. Below is what I sent Apple. Any and all help (solutions) appreciated. Is anyone else using this effect successfully in HD 6?
I select a clip (it is selected), click on the Editing tab, then click on the Video FX tab, and then select the fast/slow/reverse option. I am correctly using the slider to slow the clip down just one tick past the default position. The effect shows up in preview but will not apply. The red progress line (that indicates the effect is being rendered) shows up for about a tenth of a second and then stops. I am using the latest version of iMovie (6.0.3). I have a Dual 2 Ghz G5 Tower. I have 1.5 GB of ram. I am using OSX 10.4 8. All my software is up to date.
The camera I am using is a Sony VX2000. Never had a problem with iMovie 4 and 5. I have two internal drives. I have an external drive that is for backups only. All three are Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) format. The drive i am capturing to is the original drive that came with with my computer. It is 160 GB. 147 GB is free. I keep this drive clean and only for current projects.
I did have some plugins installed for iMovie from GeeThree. They are the updated versions for Intel and PowerPC running OSX 10.4.8. Again, all software is up to date. I did remove those plugins from the plugin folder. Also, I have ran Disk Utility and permissions are fine. I have not removed the preference files yet (plist) because I wasn't sure which ones to remove.
A third thing I did was to create a new project (after unstalling the plugins, restarting, using Disk Utility), reimport some footage and see if the slow/fast/reverse effect would work then. It did not work. I then saved all my current work and saved to tape. I NEED THIS EFFECT TO WORK! Please who can solve my problem? Dinner is on me!! LOL!
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Video controls in Aperture: slow motion? 1/4 speed? Reverse?

Hi. I don't use Aperture for video, but might. My search of the User Manual and the forum turned up nothing. Is there any way to play a video in Aperture in slow-motion? At any speed but normal? In Reverse?
Thanks.

I don't believe so.
Video in Aperture is extremely limited. Apart from trimming the length of the clip there is't much else you can do with it. I think it's meant mostly as a place to store the clips and integrate them with your stills. For any real video work you need to export to a real video editor.

Itunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a

TOPIC: iTunes 9 – Backup doesn't function, Video playback is now slow, Requires a reboot to find the super drive when changing CDs or DVDs.
iTunes 9 has been difficult to say the least. We have a very large Video and TV library, backups are critical. When starting a backup to disc, we put in the blank DVD and the software reports that it will take XX (39 in this case) discs. After the first DVD ejects and the second blank is inserted, iTunes hangs.
Second: Watching programs on hulu.com the video drops frames and a very jerky playback experience sometimes including audio. iTunes 9 now works the same way, gone are the smooth video and audio. An authorized computer in our house can no longer play back any movies or TV that are located on the MacMini.
Third and most disturbing: Since the iTunes 9 upgrade, when listening to a CD on the Apple and it completes, if you want to listen to another one – it requires a Restart of the computer. It no longer knows that there is a super drive attached to the computer. After the restart, it works just fine for one use, CD or DVD and then you must restart to listen or watch another one. Using the super drive for data or programs works correctly and no problems experienced.
I want to be clear - none of these problems were happening before the forced upgrade to iTunes 9. After reading several posts, I don't want to sync my iPod Classic (80GB) for fear of what it will do to it.
The above is happening on a MacMini, G4 PPC, 1GB RAM, 80GB internal, 2 Terabyte external, OS-X 10.4 fully patched for operating system and applications.
We need to know when the 9.1 bug fix will be released? As long as it took to convert our library to 9.0, we don't want to try and back convert to version 8.x. In our case that would take feeding 221 backup DVDs and repurchase of several 9.0 only, episodes.
WE need the bug fix and fast!

I am running iTunes9 on WinXP, and I also cannot get it to back up. It either hangs on the "initializing" phase, or it thinks that my blank disks aren't blank and keeps spitting them out.
Also, I've brought this up before, by why MUST we back up to DVD? Why can't we backup to a folder location (such as network share or external HD)? DVD backup is slow, problematic, and wasteful. Especially if it fails, and you need to throw out the disks it's already burned, and will not resume where it left off before the failure.
For a company that's usually known for its design and "it just works" philosophy, how can you keep making such a broken, buggy product? Here's a thought, before cramming more crap into iTunes, let's just get it working as advertised for once? That would be nice.

Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

I had my pc reformatted two days ago but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that! Please help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Capture playback is fast then slow

I have read similar posts, but no real answers.
I capture video from my mini dv camera and when i play the video back and try and edit it starts off too fast then slows to a crawl. When I stop the video it jumps back a few frames like it is jumping to a keyframe (it has no keyframes).
I am editing on a brand new mac pro. it is dual quad core with 6gb of ram. i can't imagine that the system can't keep up. i know people like to blame the graphics board, but i have 512mb of video ram. my pc with the same amount of video ram plays back just fine. my laptop with less video ram plays back just fine. I am using CS3
is there some setting i need to adjust?

My Adobe notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM includes information on my computer
I have never had a crash with this computer (or with the slower one I replaced) which I think is at least partly due to picking a well designed motherboard and not trying to overclock
Mine is not the fastest there is today... so when I'm rendering from video to DVD I just start the process and go to bed... and when I wake up in the morning, the job is done and the .ISO is ready to burn to DVD
Someday, when Windows 7 is at SP1 or SP2 and Premiere is certified for Win7 64bit, and the price of the Intel i7 has come down, I will build another computer for 4-6 times the speed I have now
I will, again, pick a motherboard that has good reviews (maybe another Intel... maybe Asus... maybe ???) and most likely another ATI video card (I have had better results with ATI -vs- nVidia) and I will NOT overclock the CPU or memory!!!

Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast

Hi
I have just updated to the lastest version of flashplayer 11.3.300.257. Now, all vidoes in youtube and bbc iplayer etc that use flashplayer run very fast and without sound (just like fast forwarding x4).
I am on Windows Vista Business Edition (all updates included)
Browser is IE9.
I have tried a clean reinstall of flash player a number of times but same issue.
I have cleared caches and deleted all history etc via the advanced section of the software.
I have also removed the hardware acceleration. Nothing has helped.
However, if i run in "safe mode" it seems to run at the correct speed. I have uninstalled all recent software updates (such as skype) but still the issue remains. Is it likely to be a conflict issue?
I have tried to install a previous version of flashplayer from the archives page but get an error message 1722.
Can anyone help?
Nigel

For my reference, here's the bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3217331 - Flash player 11.3.300.257 plays video too fast
In order to get traction on this, they're going to need to be able to reproduce it.
It would be great if you could do two things:
- Provide direct links to a couple videos that reproduce this problem.
If they're on different sites, and based in the US, even better. (Geographic restrictions make it hard to troubleshoot. We can VPN, but that can mask/introduce network and timing problems.)
- Provide the output of dxdiag.exe
Go to Start > Run > and type "debugdiag" no qoutes, then hit [Enter]
Save the output and attach it to the bug above.

High Res-Videos run choppy and slow

Hi!
I don't know if that's normal, so i ask - yesterday i downloaded Big buck Bunny in a high resolution ( 1920x1080, i just wanted to see the difference )
But - as the title says - it runs very slow, actually the sound works fine but the movie is just 1-2 frames, then nothing.
Low resolutions work fine, all codecs are in place and my computer is a Athlon 3500+, 1 Gig ram and an GeForce 8600 - ok, not THAT fast, but it should manage it shouldn't it? I mean i could play Warcraft3 in this resolution with more fps.
I use vlc and kaffeine/xine for playback

thanks for the reply - i just realized (after i downloaded the video as a .avi) - it't ogg-video that runs so slow!
The same Movie in 1920x1080 and avi runs very smooth.

Could not complete the Render Video command because of a problem with Adobe Media Encoder.

So initially, my problem was solved, but it stopped working again. Same issue. I tried installing the media encoder app, but no luck please help!
Here's the original post:

Ipod 4th gen volume buttons not working. Volume bar not showing in music or video apps, not a speaker problem as this works fine when testing built in alarm tones???

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store is in order.
