Video FX slow/fast/reverse

Hi again,
I am having trouble with the slow /fast setting in FX.
When setting the speed if I try to change it there seems to be no way to do this without returning to the original state.
I am sure this was possible in past I movie versions, you could just change the speed at any time during the editing stage.
Am I missing something?

if your project is located on some external harddrive, it has to be formatted to "MacOsExtended" with Disk Utility, otherwise strrrange things coudl happen..

  • 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!

  • Slow/fast/reverse problem

    sorry if this has been posted before. when i try to apply this effect it does one of multiple things. it either renders and then the clip turns black and won't play, it wont render at all, or the clip renders and then when i click to play it it plays the previous clip instead of the one i rendered with the effect. any suggestions or fixes? is this a bug or virus? also i lost an entire video project out of nowhere. i had it saved on an ext. HD and when i clicked the file it just dissapeared and now i cant find it anywhere. any thoughts would be great. thanks in advanved.

    welcome fiestacitykid to the  boards ...
    update your Public Profile.. I assume, your project is located on an external harddrive, right?
    ext. HDD have to be erased/formatted BEFORE usage via the Disk Utility (Utilities Folder...) to 'MacOsExtended' ...

  • Slow motion, reverse playback and others

    Dear members:
    After doing some research that included help files for Final Cut Express HD and Apple's support pages I haven't been able to find a straight and definited answer to my question.
    I am trying to find ways to add slow motion, reverse playback and fast playback effects to my sequences in Final Cut Express HD but haven't found a way to do it. Some pages I found seem to indicate that these functions may not be available in Final Cut Express HD but they are not specific enough. I honestly can't believe that an application that is meant to provide professional results wouldn't offer these which are probably some of the most used effects in video.
    Do any of you know if and how these effects can be used with Final Cut Express HD ?
    In case it can't handle these effects, how much would an upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD cost if I am coming from Final Cut Express HD ? Is there an (reasonable) upgrade path ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Joseph Chamberlain

    I'm sure you can do this w/ FC3xpress - although I haven't used that app in years- but you can try this:
    -Select the clip you want to add the 3ffect to then press Apple-J
    -That should bring up the menu where you can determine the new speed percentage.
    -If it doesn't have the Reverse checkmark option (I don't think it did in earlier versions) you can do a negative percentage to make the clip play in reverse.
    Also it looks like there is no way to upgrade from Final Cut 3xpress to Final Cut Studio
    You can upgrade from a few apps but Express isn't included in that list.
    The list is here if you'd like to see for yourself.
    http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
    And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

  • Neo Bios 1.6 and Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra Modes

    Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra modes in Bios 1.6 on the Neo boards?
    The only mode I can get to work is the Slow mode.  On all the rest, Win XP boots OK, but when I would run programs, the screen would lock for a few seconds, then come back in low resolution stating I had an unspecified "device failure", and I had to restart my computer for it to work properly.
    In any case, I have no clue what the difference is between modes.  I was able to complete a 3dMark test while in Turbo mode, and compared it with one run in Slow mode, and the differences were minimal.
    Can anyone enlighten me?

    No OC, Timings = by SPD, DRAM Frequency = Auto (200/400)
    Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra-Turbo results

    Timings 2.0,4,4,6 2.0,3,3,6 2.0,2,3,6 2.0,2,2,6
    "Slow" disables PAT/MAT and reduces the chipset bus frequency to 66Mhz (quad pumped)
    "Fast/Turbo/Ultra-Turbo" Overclock your video card!!!
    If you set your memory timings manualy or use a ratio other than 1:1 there will be no difference between Fast/Turbo/Ultra-turbo (only difference being "by SPD" memory timings) -as far as i can tell
    There maybe other differences but not found them ....yet

  • .flv videos load slow.  Can it be sped up?

    I have four videos on a page that two of them load
    imediately. The other two take about five minutes to load. Is there
    a way to make them all load at the same time?
    By the way. The videos all load faster in FireFox. The videos
    load slow IE, which I think is what most people tend to use.
    http://www.liquidfirefishing.com/videos.html
    Also, if anyone can tell me how enable a full screen button.
    Thanks in advance.

    there is no way to control the 'speed' of the DL - however
    you may be able to 'stream' the video - in this way it will only
    pause until properly buffered and then begin playback.

  • Is it possible to my play my uploaded videos in slow motion?

    Hello All,
    I have the macbook pro and I am trying to figure out how to play my uploaded videos in slow motion.
    I am using the quicktime player version 10.1 and I am only seeing the ability to playback, pause, play, enlarge screen and fast forward through my videos.
    If it is not possilbe to get the videos to play in slow motion using quicktime, I would appreciate suggestions on software that I could get. Nothing complicated, I just really need that slow motion feature! Thank you!

    I have the macbook pro and I am trying to figure out how to play my uploaded videos in slow motion... I am using the quicktime player version 10.1 and I am only seeing the ability to playback, pause, play, enlarge screen and fast forward through my videos.
    This capability is dependent on the media player. QT X.1 does not have either a slow or fast motion playback feature control. The closest you can get is holding down the right arrow key in which case the "slow motion" spped will be dependent on your computer's CPU power and the clip's frame rate.
    If it is not possilbe to get the videos to play in slow motion using quicktime, I would appreciate suggestions on software that I could get. Nothing complicated, I just really need that slow motion feature!
    The QT 7 Player (free) can play files with sound between 0.5 and 3.0 times normal speed. The VLC player (free) has a wider range of speed variations with sound but audio usually drops out at below 0.25 times normal playback speed. The TV player also has three slow speed (and fast speed) playback options but I don't know their exact speeds and it is without sound.

  • Quicktime plays video in slow motion

    Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
    I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
    Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
    Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?

  • SLOW, FAST, TURBO, ULTRA TURBO

    Hey Guys
    Nice forum....Just have to get used to it. I find the searching isnt as good as the lats one but look gr8.  
    Anyways I have just got 1024MB Corsair PC3200 2-2-2-5 RAM. Its amazing made my PC so much faster and timings have made it so responsive.  
    Anyways I have a 875P motherboard like you can see below but in the BIOS I can select different options (Performance Options)
    SLOW -> FAST -> TURBO -> ULTRA TURBO.
    What exactly do these do? On my last generic RAM I had it on FAST and not have it on TURBO. Is it worth goin onto ULTRA TURBO? Also how kinda effect with these setting have on the life of the PC.
    Cheers guys
    SASpaz

    Here is a review, there is also a lot there to take in but,
    http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/memory/corsair_twinx3200xl/page3.php
    The settings you are referring to are associated with PAT.  
    There are different levels of PAT, if you choose slow, is it off in CPUZ?
    FAST
    TURBO
    ULTRA TURBO
    CPUZ will report PAT to be enabled on all of these settings but it may not be fully enabled.
    ULTRA TURBO = FULLY enabled PAT mode.
    Run this program to tell you the level of PAT
    ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/ctiaw.zip
    Extract it to a folder, run the lowercase version.
    See what PAT level it is running at.
    Then change modes and run the program again.
    What it does, going back to the INTEL link,
    The setting adjust the memory/chipset timings to achieve higher system performance.
    It should not be a problem if you have good memory.
    Now is this starting to make sense

  • Question about "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo"

    Ok, on the 875P Neo board, what does "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo" do to the settings in the bios? Ok "slow" is probably default (shouldnt they just call it "default"?)... but what will the rest SPECIFICALLY do to my system?

    No one knows for sure, MAT is enabled in 1.6 on turbo and ultra turbo, it also seems to use more agressive memory timings - the sisoft sandra scores at turbo and ultra turbo are excellent.
