Altering Clip Speeds in Final Cut Pro

[DrMattViolin]

Thanks a lot man!

[xXSammiiStarrXx]

obviously Olphus ppl that have never used final cut before like me would look this up if you have a bs professor that doesn't explain crap yes this is helpful. so thank you MacVideoHelpline for posting this it helped.

[blagit23]

Thanks. That helped

[Alympik]

Thank you Sir!!!

[randomtricksvideos]

can you drag it to a specific length?

[310connor]

Thanks

[rrtickler]

I really like the info that you give. It is easy to understand, but if you could try to move the screen alot less, it would sure be nice.

Thanks! for the help!

[CapitolMediaIllinois]

That made me want to throw up. Hard to make a video much worse than that.

[SantaMonicanVampire]

Why did you need to make a tutorial outta this?

[Dscvncnvmvbnm]

Something about a trim operation, I can't do it. Do you know how to fix this?

[aflockofmusic2]

The audio always mutes when you reverse the clip

[metaphoricrocky]

What if I want the sound to change at the same rate as a variable speed rate change of a video?

[xZiiPPo]

I have a problem; when I put a clip at, say, 50%, it only shows the first half of the clip at half speed, and doesn't change the duration at all. Is there any way to fix this?

[Wubalubaloo]

Any idea on how to do it with the new final cut? I can go to the change speed thing but it doesnt have the option of reversing the clip

[freeeeeemusic]

Hey every1, just foud a great website with huge file collection (PC And MAC) Just google For Aries-Films and u will find it. You can also watch youtube video in my channel and see how many great programs they got

[kebmann]

But what if you wanted to ramp the speed up, beginning at normal speed and going faster and faster? FCP speed cannot be keyframed, as I've understood.

[karatechopkid]

im trying to do the same thing!

[elelamb]

@kebmann This is what I want to do..... could you tell me if you find anything.... thanks

[kebmann]

@elelamb Yes, since FCP 4 there's a function called Time Remap. :)

[SUPERSCHMOO]

thanks a lot, helped me out!

[apodo360]

Frame Blending ON or OFF ? whats the difference?

[jackinsanfran]

good video!!! helps a lot

[Hamhaxx]

How come when I reverse clips in FCP, the audio doesn't match up to the video?

[cleantones]

This could be done easily in camera with a simple practical effect j/k ;)

[imaxnukkaninja]

a short cut to changing the speed is cmmnd j....i call it apple j for some odd reason,lol

[meesaeditin]

Gud one.. A small Suggestion Plz keep ur video tuts to less than 60secs or 90secs.. it wud help us aLL a lot and dat way our frens too can say dats quick tip.... (note:- imagine my god damn ISP who streamsvideos slowly if the duration is tooo long.. I kno its our connection but a small tiny idea :-)

[00Mandingo00]

I agree. your vids are VERY helpful so I don't mean to offend. Ironic that these are videos on editing and you can easily EDIT out about 50% of the video and get these tips down to short, one to two minute vids :)

[FirebrandNIRE]

Or you could hang the clock on a wall with a hole in it, large enough for someone to wind the clock really fast from behind?

This is another free tip from Firebrandnire :)

Just jesting

[scir91]

this video could have been made in 30 seconds instead of you blabbing on and on.

[Herlyskate]

thats soooo cool....i need a mac

[madmaestro43]

ehh, you can also do this in Sony Vegas(without rendering) put the clip on the timeline grab the edge in the right place and shorten the clip to speed up in time or lenthen the clip to slow it down. I have both FCP & Vegas. Vegas doesn't need to render anything and it's fast.

[00Mandingo00]

that's great but this is a video for people with FCP. Would be a bit dumb for a FCP tutorial if it just said "get Sony Vegas" wouldn't it?

[madmaestro43]

I only said this to let others (Herlyskate) know that it can be done on other programs such as Vegas. You don't "need a mac" to do this.

[DaPunisherDemo]

Thanks for posting this.

Very useful and so simple.

[confuoco55]

Can you please help me how to adjust the lightness/contrast and color balance of a video in FCE?

[wndrldy]

thanks! really helped!

[jackinthebox1313]

THANK YOU YOU RULE! coment me if youd like anything in return

[XxidR0pUxX]

no IV just IIII? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

[LozAsaurus]

do you know the advantages of having

Finalcutpro compared to Sonyvegas ?

[shanec2008]

well....i think final cut pro mite be a bit more powerfull in a sence but i think its just like sony vegas was intended 4 windows and final cut was intended 4 mac...

[WiiNutt]

sony vegas is runable on mac too

[yingyangboy89]

There's a shortcut to that. Just 'APPLE' J. It's very simple.

[hoyun]

very helpful tutorial, give me ideas how to slow down some speeded clips that i have, thanks

[the4seasons]

thank you!!! I was looking for help to reverse a clip in the help file, but could not find the answer. It is quite simple once you see it.

[SexyPicho]

this is kind of a stupid cuestion y think but what does "render" means? :P

[DrLemur]

It's just basically a computer process where the computer prepares the image for viewing after you make changes.

[ScratchPatchFilms]

when i put my clips in reverse, it stutters a LOT during playback. how can i get it to be smooth? i have final cut express fyi.

[DrLemur]

Hmm that is weird. What machine are you running there? RAM etc?

[ScratchPatchFilms]

well its a mac powerbook with 1.67 GHz powerpc g4 and 512 mb ddr2 sdram

read that off the 'about this mac' part of my computer hehehehe.

you think it has to do with the ram? i wonder if it just stutters in playback in the canvas but if i export the file if it will still stutter.. i'll test that out.. but if that doesnt work i will have to use the reverse function in imovie instead and the export it back to FCE, cuz it works in imovie just fine for some reason...

[xDrLx]

No that's enough RAM and power.. shouldn't be because of that. There are a few reasons it could happen. I've found I get dropped frames sometimes and remixing the audio or freeing up more HD space has helped. Not sure what's causing your problem but generally when you export it should be gone yeah..

[Gzkopp]

hit the keys Alt R.... what your problem is, it that the footage needs to be rendered

[ScratchPatchFilms]

ha ha. no i no how to render, thats not the issue...

[gskowal]

ok what about when i want to slow down or speed up just a part of the video.. happens in some movies.. from regular speed starts speeding up or from fast going to slow but not jumpy , smooth transition.

[DrLemur]

Usually they use special slow mo plugins but you can fake it a little by chopping your footage up into pieces with the razor tool and slowing down each part incrementally. At least that's how I try to do it.

[gskowal]

do you have any idea what plugins are they? are they available for FCP?

[DrLemur]

I know a friend of mine who works in tv uses something called "Twixster" or something.. they used it in that madonna video clip.. You can get it for FCP but it costs more then I make in a month.

[gskowal]

that means i`ll probably not be able to afford it as well. haha.. Thanks a lot! :)

[AdamJez]

Hi,

Is it possible to do this in iMovie, or must one use FCP? Thanks!

[DrLemur]

You can do this in iMovie but not with this amount of accuracy. To slow/speed or reverse clips in iMovie simply go to your "video effects" tab and you will see the fast/slow effect. Click on it and drag the slider the appropriate way and apply.

[Olphus]

So some of you couldn't figure this out on your own?

[MacVideoHelpline]

Evidently.

[percifield13]

you should use camtwist to show your desktop, when the camera follows your mouse and you move it around to much it is kind of nausaiting. :( good content though

[Bobssecondhand]

@Olphus . So sad, that you have to comment on the fact that some of dont know the things you know.

[joz90]

@Olphus If we COULD, would we be asking??????

[nuttycaramel10]

@Olphus you coudn't either if you're watching this video…lol

[tdyjak]

Stop moving the image all over the place when you're speaking...It makes us dizzy and looks bad. THX

[jdouglas8]

cool clock effect!

[elenacoceva]

interesting

[sabrinadomino]

Very helpful, thank you! and how generous of you to create this project. Well done!

[DrLemur]

Thanks for watching. I've been ignoring this account lately. I should get back onto making videos here again soonish.

[mannybad]

theres a more difficult way to do it um the garbage eight point thing this program is complicated

[MacVideoHelpline]

I've played with that briefly but I don't think I'm using it correctly. Your right it is complex :)

[mannybad]

lol well my mac got busted if a friend cracks the screen am i able to send it bak and get a new one

[emenem91]

lol.

[mannybad]

Hahah im not trusted with a laptop now GREAT WHILE IT LASTED

[mannybad]

do u kno how to mask clips? like with the anchors

[DrLemur]

I haven't got that far into Final cut yet unfortunately.
