What speed change/ramp plug in?

Need to speed ramp up & down a shot and know there's couple of plug in's out there. Any favorites?
Or better to do in After Efx?
Thanks,
p2

Definitely in After Effects... I personally like Twixtor for time remapping.

Can Premiere CC Recognize In-Camera Speed Changes ('Ramps')?

I am editing a project shot in 6K with a Red Dragon. We recorded a number of shots with speed changes ('ramps') triggered at specific times IN-CAMERA during the course of the shot. Premiere CC does not seem to recognize the changes - and only plays the clips back at the slower rate. Is there a way to get these ramps back?
Also - on a more basic level, is it possible for Premiere to interpret the relative frame rate of off-speed clips in any kind of specific way? In the project media window, everything displays at the frame rate i've set for the project (23.976) regardless of the frame rate at which a clip was recorded.
Any help is appreciated.

I thought the idea of a camera ramp was to keep the playback at a set rate so that the motion smoothly went to slow-mo as the camera fps increased. You can interpret the footage to any fps you want, you will get that option if you right click the footage in the project panel.

Upgrade and plug ins migration ? speed changes and transitions to motion 3

I have the FCS2 upgrade on its way soon i hope..
will my natress plug ins and others migrate when i go from FCS1 to 2?
I am mid project - have done all my captures but havent got into the nitty gritty of the edit yet - you reckon its a bit risky to upgrade?
I am super keen to get the ability to easily do ramps (in Motion 3 or in FC 6) and 3d logo fly arounds. Looking fwd to being able to throw transitions and speed changes into Motion 3 - i hear that it can deal with that now - is this true?

Thanks - thats all good

What happened to the playback speed change option in iTunes U??

I just updated to the latest iOS and installed other updates. That change removed the playback speed change option for both my iPad and my iPhone in the iTunes U app. It is still available in e podcast player. What happened to this option in iTunes U and will it be restored? Listening to some lecturers at normal delivery speed is agonizing. Any insights on is?

This appears to be a regression with the new version of itunes U
Updated: Nov 14, 2013
Version: 1.4
So to get it to work:
you need to have a video with more than 1 option (such as 1 with subtitles)
Afterwards, the speed you set when the button is working is remembered so when you change to videos where the button doesn't work, it will keep the speed you had.
We're testing Apple's software for them!

HVX200 speed changes in FCP . . .HELP!

So confused here . . . I appreciate any help people can offer . . .
Shot footage with HVX200 in 720p/24p mode at various frame rates (12,18,48,60). Trying to use it alongside my DVCPRO50 project footage (with the speed changes of course). I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
I KNOW that I should have shot in the 720p/24pn mode so that the excess frames would have been removed for 29.97 playback, but I tried using the Panasonic/Apple DVCPROHD Frame Conversion tool and NOTHING happens. I follow the instructions to a T, select the clip in the bin, select the plug-in from the tools menu and NOTHING happens at all, no message, no chime, nothing. I'm running FCP 5.1.2 in OS 10.48, Quicktime 7.13 — everything is up to date. ANY IDEA what I've done wrong? I even tried re-importing the 720 clips to no avail.

Welcome to the forums.

You do realize that you are using HD footage in a standard def project, right? And that the camera does shoot DVCPRO 50. Just curious.
I imported the P2 clips into my project, they appear to have retained the proper frame rate: 59.94fps. But when I put them into my DV50 29.97fps timeline they of course need rendering, but they DON'T play back at their proper speeds. They look more or less the same. Any idea why this is so?
If you drop the footage into a 29.97 timeline and render, it will play back at 29.97fps...it won't slow down or speed up. That is not how you adjust the speed. I often get footage shot 720p60, and if I want to just mix it with my other 720p24 footage, I drop it into the timeline and render. However, if I want it to be slow motion, I use the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter.
But you said you tried that and nothing happened...so try this trick. Create a new project and copy the clips into that project, THEN try the converter. It is an odd bug, but that is what I do and it works great.
For more information, I blog about my experiences working with P2 and DVCPRO HD in general. CLick on Underdog to get there.

Slow motion and speed changes blurry jittery - SOLUTION!

I Have had a few issues with slo mo and sped up stuff going blurry or jittery on me.
This is from HD from a HC3 down converted (camera does this) to SD anamorphic (pal).
I think i have found the solution - and welcome any exra content from more experienced heads than mine.
Of course there are limitations to how far you can slo mo before you get the jitters - anyway- here is my hot tip!
Change your speed (fit to fill , or modify speed) of the clip in the canvas (leaners - watch your sound timing - it can be thrown off if you have locked off ausio tracks) open up your clip from the canvas by double cliking it, tap the motion tab, cross the motion blur box - adjust the sample setting from 4 to 32 (i dont know exactly what this does but this is the key!, drop motion blur down to 0 %.
RENDER! voila! This has quickly resulted in some speed changed clips that hold their form rather nicely (no blurring or strobing , jitters etc - that have plagued me in the past - i'm doing lots of sport stuff where speed changes are common)
Hope this helps other relative newbs out there! And if anyone would care to comment on why this works i would be all ears!

I know what you mean, I end up with an extra frame if I set an in and out point then insert/overwrite replace or superimpose.
I find the quickest work flow is to
0. mark the in point at start of clip
1. copy the clip, command c
2. go to the end of the sequence, end
3. paste clip
4. change speed, look at duration of clip, change speed %, command j
5. change duration back to original duration,
6. cut clip from end of time line,
7. return to in point and paste clip.
I find this does give me control over the clip, does not affect the timeline and is frame accurate.
I agree you should be able to change the clip speed without affecting the duration.
The alternative is as Andy described, fit to fill, here is an alternitive way of doing/describing this process;
adjust the out point of the clip to the new point you want,
move the clip out of the space on the timeline where you want the clip with the speed change to go,
place the CTI in the space where you want the new clip to go,
double click on the clip you want to adjust, opening it in the viewer,
drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and the fit to fill option will appear along with all of the other options,
this will also do what you want, I believe there is no one click solution.
Someone please prove me wrong! I would love to be able to "command j" in to the speed dialog box, click on a check box that says keep duration or in/out points and simply change the duration.

Speed changes with REVERSE don't transfer over to Motion on Round Trip

I don't even know if there is a solution to this problem. I have a clip in my FCP timeline that is playing at 80% speed and in REVERSE. When I highlight the clip then "SEND TO MOTION PROJECT," it opens in motion but plays the opposite end of the source footage. It is still playing 80% speed and in reverse, but it's looking at the other end of the footage.
In other words, if I had a 1-minute piece of source footage and 00:01-00:10 of that footage marked in FCP and sent to Motion, Motion is actually looking at 00:50-01:00.
Anybody ever had this happen? How do I fix it?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

Changing Ramp color in After Effects

Hi all,
I'm still new to AE and currently using step by step guides from books to practice in AE. In one of my practice, I'm creating a text animation with a ramps shader as the background as seen in my attached file here, and according to the book, no matter initial your color choice from your color picker, the ramp color will eventually default to gradations of black and white as seen in my file here. I wonder if there's any way that I can have more control of my color here, so I'll choose the color of my ramp.
Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for the uploading tip. I've enclosed the image as an attachment here for more clarification. hope it helps

When attaching images, use the camera icon or the pix will get caught up in the virus queue. As I'm writing this, it's not yet visible. Anyway, I'm not really sure what you are describing, since you didn't mention what book and chapter and even then it's probably a newer revision which I don't have. There's a million ways to create gradients in AE, so probably you are simply missing something obvious.
- Ramp effect
- Ramp effect, followed by Colorama
- Layer Styles - Gradient Overlay
- Shape Layers with gradient fills
For some specific cases, the effect may require to be applied to a solid, where the other layer, e.g. a text layer acts as the matte. also make sure to adjust the start and end points of the gradients to fall within the dimensions of the layer to be affected.

How do You Make Accurate Speed Changes To Clips?

How do you apply a speed change to an audio clip in with frame accuracy? I have 2 audio clips, one from a camera and the other from a cheap solid-state recorder. The latter has audio drift and needs a one-off, constant adjustment to sync it with the camera audio.
However, FCP only wants to execute clip speed changes down to 1/10th of 1%, which is not small enough. Does anyone know what to do here - either within FCP or Sountrack Pro? Thanks.

I just know that often when capturing long segments of DV tape for our shows, we occasionally get a clip that comes in at 47.998 or 48.002, instead of the solid 48kHz.
When I export to aiff, it seems to clear up any sync drifting we experience with the original clips.
Might give it a go.
STPro is a solid option as others pointed out. I simply suggested a quick fix to a possible sync/drift issue. (quicker than learning a new interface...though that's something that should be done anyway, for the tools STPro offers).

Speed changes

can anyone offer the smoothest solution to basic speed changes (other then time re-mapping in the Motion tab.
i was curious if there w as a pre-set effect for doing quick ramp ups (and downs).
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The quickest way for basic ramping is, isolate the part you want to speed up/down on the timeline with a couple of cuts, select it, press command(apple)+J and enter a percentage.

Problem with speed change in Twixtor Pro

Using Twixtor 5.0 and After Effects CS6, and I'm struggling with a situation where keyframing the Speed% change causes the slow frames to freeze for several frames at a time.
What works:
Drop clip into new comp
Enable Time-remaping, and extend the length of the comp to a good minute or so longer than source clip
Add Twixtor Pro to clip layer (appears to behave the same if you drop this comp into another clip and apply to that)
Set frame rate to match comp's (and clips)
Set speed% to something low, like 5.
Clip plays back nice and smooth and slow, every frame is interpolated.
What doesn't work:
Repeat above steps... up to 5
Set a keyframe for speed% to 1000
Advance playhead ahead a second, set another keyframe to maintain speed
Move several frames, set keyframe for speed% to 5
When I playback the clip, after the last speed change, instead of nice smooth motion, I get a still frame, then several identical frames, then it jumps again to the next incremental frame, and so on – with NO smooth interpolated frames. The result, as you can guess, is quite jerky.
If you trash all the keyframes and just leave the speed change to 5, it plays totally smooth. Which is just great, except for the fact I want to actually animate it.
Has anyone encountered this?
In the meantime as a backup, I'm using Timewarp, but I would love to sort this out.

Hi Rick, I appreciate your persistence to help. That's definitely another way to use the plugin which I've never used in the past, but does eliminate the need to enable time-remapping. Certainly not as common as the majority of the tutorials out there, including Re:Vision's own.
For the sake of argument I tried this approach, but unfortunately the problem persists. Out of curiosity, were there specific problems you avoided by using the solid method vs applying directly to the footage?
If I can dig up my serial numbers I will install the CS6 update as instructed. I'll definitely update this post if I get any positive results.
UPDATE:
I'm pleased to say upgrading to 5.1.5 fixed the problem!

Magic trackpad tracking speed changes

My Magic trackpads tracking speed changes to slow when I log off. I have to reset it when I log on.
How do I set the tracking speed to stay put?

If you use MagicPrefs, some people believe that causes the Magic Trackpad to default back to slowest tracking speed on restart/relog. Have a look at the Magic Prefs preferences pane for the Trackpad and see if you can change the default tracking speed in that instead of the System Preferences pane.
If you don't use MagicPrefs, there is a fix using Terminal for the same problem with the Magic Mouse, and it may work for the trackpad too. I'm adapting this from Tyler Nicols' post on his blog.
Open a Terminal Window
Enter the following command to see what your current setting is:
         defaults read -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling
This will return a numeric value. To speed up (or slow down) your mouse tracking, you can simply change this number accordingly by typing the following command, replacing the “your_trackpad_speed” with a new number such as 5.0. Notice that read has been changed to write:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling your_trackpad_speed
So, for example:
        defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling 5.0
You may need to restart your mac to see the changes take effect.
Let me know if it works for you.

Usually slowness after one upgrade requires disabling hardware acceleration, or a possible new regression (hopefully not).
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
* Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
* In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
* In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
* Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

Speed change results in stutter/jumpy clip

Hi
If I change the speed of a clip, specifically slowing it down, the reply is not a smooth clip but a sort of stuttering, jumpy,
is there a setting to adjust for this?
Thanks as always,
B

What version of FCP?
What codec does the source footage use and does it match the sequence settings?
Do you have frame blending turned on in your Speed Change or Retiming dialog?

My mac book air no longer supports the audio speakers on my panasonic tv when playing movies? what has changed in the last week for this not to work any more?

I used to be able to plug my mac book air to my tv via mini dvi to hdmi cable to tv and watch movies.
The audio no longer projects through the tv? in system preferences, sound, driver for sound output is not supported for my panasonic tv.
Just a couple weeks ago this was not a problem. I just plugged in my computer to the tv and it worked. what has changed?

Have you tried a PRAM reset?
