Hello

I wonder how to realize following effects:

I hope you can help me.

I film with a Samsung Galaxy S 8 smartphone in 4k. My pc uses an intel i7 7700k cpu, 107ß0 gpu, 16gb ram, windows 10 64 bit. Dont know if this is relevant.

Thanks a lot!!

0.20:. Its a camera move and several frames have been cut out to make the camera move faster backwards.

1.05:  last frame color inverted.

2.21: clips superimosed and devided by masks, slightly turned which make them offset.

0.38: Its super slowmotion,  i think it is made with something like Twixtor and a 3D program for the glass.

Download the clips and study them frame for frame.

Meg's got your questions covered except for one wee little thing ... that Samsung phone, like mine, creates "VFR" ... variable-frame-rate video. Meaning depending on how much "detail" changes frame to frame, set at 30fps will get frame rates from 18 to 32.4 or so in reality. But constant speed audio. Most basic video players do work mostly ok with VFR, but most pro NLE's don't. Like PrPro, they need CFR ... constant frame rate video for best work. Especially, for the 'jumpy' frames and mis-syncs with audio.

Download & install the freebie Handbrake ...

HandBrake download page:  https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Start that up, and create yourself a preset that sets the Video tab to both "CFR" (the little round button to click) and by setting a specific numbered frame-rate, as if you use any "same as" or "auto" setting, you will get the same as the source ... VFR! Nasty little trick that.

Also ... Handbrake is designed assuming your main goal is to compress things. So it's preset for my phone converted my 4k media into 1920x1080 ... and at a rather high compression ratio. Turning my 49Mpbs video clips into ones averaging about 18Mbps. NOT what I wanted.

So ... while making that preset, see that you also set it to "preserve" original frame-size, and set the compression settings in the "Placebo" range, maintaining your phone's bit-rate.

Further, Handbrake does do "queue" work, so you can batch process entire folders. It takes a couple minutes to figure it out, but then ... you can leave 4 gigs of files to process overnight, come in the next morning, and have some very nice video to work in post.

Import that media into PrPro, in the Media Browser, set it to 'Ingest' media, using the wrench setting there set it to "Create Proxies" using the Cineform proxy preset that's about 960 or something like that, and you should be in great shape. Do NOT use an H.264 proxy codec ... I've not clue one why anyone would choose a "proxy" that's in long-GOP form, and is as nasty to edit as the original media!

1) Place the clip on the timeline, and adjust the speed with Speed/Duration control.

2) Place a clip with one framing of the scene on the timeline, and place another clip with a different framing of the scene on the track above the first clip you placed. Adjust the Opacity/blend mode of the top clip.

3) Shoot with an ultra high frame rate camera like the Phantom:

note: timelapse refers to condensing realtime (speeding stuff up) slow motion or super-slow motion refers to slowing real time down.

4) Likely done in After Effects, here is an old tutorial, but covers the basics:
