Slowing the speed of an AVI-file??

[recone]

ive got my hand of an avi file that play like atleast 10 times realtime (not a codecs error), and ive liked to get some tools that could convert and slow the file to more real time like??( dont think its a probs. to loose the audio first though (dosn't matter)?

any ideas would be greets in advanced 8)

I would use Video Studio 7. First, extract the audio as a wave file. Adjust the speed of the video, the add the audio back in and save under a new file name.

Vegas 4.0 will also work...just adjust the pitch.

problem is that when you use a program's "slow motion" to slow it down, it doesn't actually slow the video down, it duplicates the frames, in order for you to slow the video down that much your video is going look almost smeared. You can try it but in Studio 8 anything under 1/2 doesn't look very good. You may need to slow it a little, render it, take that clip back in and slow it down again and repeat the process until you are satisfied with it.

I would take it into a program like GIF Animator 5 and change the time of each frame. You don't have to do each frame individually but after you reset each frame's time, you can output to a variety of codecs.

The first thing I would do is convert it to a 29.97 or 30 frame rate (if it's not already) that way when you increase the time of each frame the time increase is smaller for each frame and the video doesn't look jerky. I would do this even if I used studio 8 to do it. If it is 15 fps, that is a frame duration of .07 seconds, that's only 150 frames on a 10 second clip making that a 20 second clip would duplicate each frame at .07 seconds and your video will start looking still framed jerky. Where as a 30 fps would be 300 frames in a 10 second clip, and each frame has a duration of .04 so doubling would still add 300 frames but at only .04 seconds duration.

The reason I suggested gif animator 5 is because once you duplicate the frames many times you will want to actually speed up each frame to keep the video looking smooth. (usually down to .02 but you can figure out what looks best for your video)
