Retiming
Hi all,
Just trying to muddle my way through a few things…
Is there anyway of retiming a clip and have it NOT change the duration of the clip and thus the timeline?
Thanks,

Here’s a quick work around that I use. If your clip is in the primary storyline, just select the clip, hit Command, Option, Up Arrow to temporarily move it up as a connected clip. Then adjust your retiming and correct duration that you want so it fits back in your primary storyline the way that you want it. When you’re ready just hit Command, Option, Down Arrow to move it back down to the primary storyline. It’s a pretty fast way to do it without screwing up the timeline. If any one knows of another way, I’d like to know too. Hope that helped!

Personally, I just let it change the duration. If I need the resulting clip to be the same length as the original speed clip, then I place the playhead at that point. Then I retime the clip and use tops and tails (OPT+]) shortcut to trim a slo-mo’d clip back to the same length. Or else I use the trim tool to extend a sped up clip to the same length. The playhead doesn’t move unless you make it so you can easily perform retime actions and use it as a place holder.
