Software for pitch and speed video ?

sylvainbd - 2-6-2016 at 07:56 AM

Hi friends

Actually I am working on this video by Serdar Aygun :
https://youtu.be/ZrTZOBn3E90

As always I have two problems to understand in details what happens :
- speed
- tuning (he plays turkish, i play arabic !)

That's why i use Adobe première to change the tuning (2 semi tones with audio effect). And after export video, i use VLC to watch slowly the video ...

Anyone have a simpler idea ? A magical software with both options ?

Thank you for your answer :)

You can change the speed in Youtube itself.
Click on the settings button (looks like a geared wheel) and select the speed you want.

To change the speed of the music/video and the pitch independently, you can use Transcribe! (Which is a great program all around).
The video will automatically change speed to match the speed of the audio, and you can change pitch and speed independently. You can also fine-tune the pitch for all those recordings that are not tuned to A440.

Thank you Brian !
"Transcribe" seems to be a good tool for this kind of operation. Maybe one day just a plugin for mozilla !...
Regards

"transcribe" is excellent

another solution is "amazing slowdowner" but i do not know if it works with video

Brian, using my iMac and Safari I have yet to find a youtube video where the settings button offers a speed option. Is there a "secret" to get it to appear?

Every single youtube video, if you click on the settings button (the gear-shaped button on the lower right side of the video, next to the full-screen button), you get a small dialog. The dialog says:
Autoplay
Annotations
Speed
Quality

If you click on 'speed', it gives you .25, .5, normal, 1.25, 1.5, 2

If you don't see it, perhaps you have an old browser or something, I don't know.
For what it's worth, I have Flash disabled in my main Youtube settings and am using the HTML5 player.

The settings button reveals 1 or 2 of those options for me but speed is not one of them. I'll look into it. thanks.

I have this one on my smarthpone and this software is very good to change the tempo etc. The audio quality is impressive ... even very slowly ! Unfortunately only for audio format (MP3, Wave, WMA, OGG, FLAC, AAC ...) not for video format.

The amazing slowdowner not only changes speed but pitch as well. You can even loop difficult parts. It's been very helpful practicing and learning pieces. You can take a youtube video and convert it to mp3 via google search and put that track into the amazing slowdowner

Hi Folks,:wavey:

I use Audacity(Portable) to slow down tracks without changing the pitch-or the opposite- changing pitch without changing the speed.
To convert soundfiles or videos to mp3,wav,wmv,ogg and so on, i use XMediaRecode.
Both softwares are freeware and work very good, for me.(To do tempi- or pitchchanges in Audacity go to "effects".)

Cheers,
Marcus

marcus and bulerias1981, thank you to give us your method but my problem is especially for video, not audio format.

bulerias1981 - 2-11-2016 at 07:40 AM

I know, but as I said you can convert videos into mp3 using this site https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=youtube+to+mp3

Brian Prunka - 2-11-2016 at 08:29 AM

I think he means he wants to watch the slowed-down video, not just get the audio files.
Transcribe! can do that. If you have a Mac, iMovie and Quicktime 7 can both do it I think. IMovie is a bit of work though.

sylvainbd - 2-12-2016 at 08:18 AM

Thank you bulerias1981 but i already used youtube mp3 converter. Very usefull !
Maybe i wasn't clear in my problem but as Brian said, i would like to work on video. For me audio file is not always sufficient. I have a windows computer so Transcribe is a good deal.
Thank you all ;)
