Is there a video editor that can speed up a movie clip?

I want to speed up video clips say 10x and save them back to my pc. (Eg. clouds or flowers speeded up show unseen movement.)





I used to use Cyberlink PowerDirector 2 for this.





I have tried out Pinnacle Studio 11, Magix MovieEdit 12 and Video Edit Magic but all modern vidio editing software seems not to have this 'effect'. I don't think PowerDirector 6 does either.





Anyone use a program that can speed up/ slow down the vid stream?

Is there a video editor that can speed up a movie clip?
I use Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8, and can most certainly do that with the "Time Stretch" effect, or something with a name like that. Ulead's VideoStudio programs are likely to have this feature, as well. I do recall being able to do it in Ulead VideoStudio 7 (they're up to 11 now).





I'd recheck Pinnacle Studio 11. Their manual discusses a "speed" effect on Page 120, it seems to be what you're looking for. It's included in all versions. Not sure how to implement it, as I've never used the program. However, it IS there.

Reply:I know it's a basic program, but the free Windows Movie Maker can speed up and slow down film. Go to the effects in the program and apply the effect to the clip. You can apply it more than once to speed it up even more.
Reply:Pinnacle Studio definately does it. Do the following:


1 - Grag the clip onto the timeline


2 - Double clip on the clip on the timeline you want to edit


3 - Click on the Plug Symbol "Add an effect to the video clip"


4 - Click on Standard RTFX


5 - Double Click on Speed effect


6 - The maximum change you can make is 5 x the normal speed, which is 500 which you type into the box where it will have 100 and change it to 500.


7 - Then click X to get out and save the changes





Now for the tricky bit. Save the video as an AVI at full quality then import the video back into Pinnacle and repeat the steps above. This will effectively give you a 10 x speed change when you add another 5 to the AVI video, then save the video again and so on.





Hope this helps..





I know that Final Cut Studio will let you change the speed to more than this, but its a far more expensive program than Pinnacle Studio.
