![]() The second offering "from 0%" will start the clip at 0% speed and ramp the speed up to 100% by the end of the clip. "To 0%" means that the clip will start off at 100% speed and finish up at 0% speed. As shown below right, I have selected Speed Ramp (variable speed) from the Retime menu which offers two choices. While we can do Constant speed changes right from inside a clip in the timeline, FCP X offers addition speed effects that can be found in the Retime menu, red box below left. Click on the 'X' to close the Retiming Editor. ![]() If you have changed the speed of a clip and wish to reset it back to normal speed, in the Retiming Editor, click on the twirl-down and select Normal (100%). Clips that have been sped up have a blue retiming bar. Below right I have dragged the retiming handle to the left, making the clip shorter, thus speeding it up. Below left, I have slowed the clip down to 68%. The percentage of speed change is shown in the retiming bar as well. Note that the retiming bar turns orange to show that the clip has been slowed down. If we drag to the right and make the clip longer, we will be slowing down the clip. To manually change the speed of a clip, click on the handle at the right of the retiming bar (red arrows below) and drag. When we first open the Retiming Editor, there is a green retiming bar, green denotes that the clip will play at normal speed. We can change the speed to any amount that we want. When we change the length of the clip, faster or slower, all of the clips that follow the affected clip in the timeline, will ripple to adjust for the speed change.Įven though the Retiming Editor provides several speed options for both Slow and Fast, we are not limited to these preset speed changes. Making a clip run faster will shorten the length of the clip and the timeline. Making a clip run slower will lengthen the duration of the clip and the timeline. It is important to point out that changing the duration of a clip will change the total length of the timeline. This will open the 'Retiming Editor' at the top of the clip.Ĭlick on the twirl-down in the Retiming Editor to reveal different speed options.Īs shown below, Slow is given as percentages and Fast is given as speed multiples. Control or right click on the clip in the timeline and slide down to 'Retime'. First we'll look at making Constant speed changes right in the clip in the timeline. In FCP X we even have the option to 'Preserve Pitch' when changing the speed of a clip, for example, if we speed up a clip with 'Preserve Pitch' enabled, our audio will not sound like a bunch of chipmunks.Īpplying a Constant speed change to a clip, either speeding it up or slowing it down, can be done from several places in the FCP X interface. Normal renders quickly, Frame Blending takes longer to render but produces better quality and Optical Flow which takes the longest to render but gives the best quality. We are also offered the ability to choose the process for rendering our speed changes, Normal, Frame Blending and Optical Flow. FCP X provides a few additional speed effects, 'Hold' (freeze frame), 'Reverse Clip', 'Instant Replay' and 'Rewind'. In FCP X a variable speed change is called 'Speed Ramp'. In FCP X, this process is called 'Retiming' and there are two basic Retiming effects, Constant speed, which uniformly changes the speed that a clip plays out, and Variable speed, which will change the speed of the clip over time. There will be times when we want to change the speed of a clip to achieve an effect, either speed it up or slow it down. Download the ePub iPad/iPhone version of this article.
