time remapping jumpiness
hi,
i’m working with ae7pro and have the following problem.
i’m producing a video in which a footage is shown that, at one point, becomes very repeptitive and boring before it goes on with more interesting stuff.
i’d like this part to be played as a “fast forward” for ~10 seconds, then slow down to normal speed again and go on.
when i use time remapping on the layer and just make two keyframes, put them closer together i’ll get what i want but there’s no soft transition. from one frame to the other, the video just plays faster.
if i set both time remapping keyframes to “easy ease” there’s a soft transition, however a jump occurs.
the speed of the footage goes down to 0, then rises and rises until it reaches the peak to then drop and drop until it reaches 0 (which is the second time remapping keyframe) and after that plays at normal speed again.
this is very ugly. how can i get rid of the jump?
how can i just make the video smoothly play faster until it reaches a certain speed, keep that for a while and then slow down to normal speed again?thanks for your help.
hope this hasn’t been covered somewhere. didn’t find anything though. -

It sounds like basic bezier curve editing on the time-remapping value graph is needed. We should not assume that the job ends at adding “easy ease”.
(this is 6.5.1 — I’m not on the AE7 machine)
Your time-remap speed curve should look like a hump. At each end of the hump is a little handle with a circular end. Grab each handle and pull it up so you don’t see the extra little zigzag where the handle was.
If you want the ease to be more smooth, drag each little handle towards the other. Things will move more quickly in the middle of the action, but that’s what you’d get if you slowed it down at the ends.
Does that make sense?

hi,
if you are using ae7, try using the timewarp filter.
i have had very good results with that, especially changing speeds at certain points, as you discussed.
real smooth.good luck, frank

Hi the solution is quite simple,
you need a custom ease as follows:
(Just Alt-double-click on the keyframes and enter these values)Ougoing Velocity on the first keyframe: 1sec / sec influence 33.33%
Incoming Velocity on the second keyframe: 1sec / sec influence 33.33%If you use “easy ease”, it will slow down to 0sec/sec, then suddenly start again at 1sec/sec, that’s the jump you see.
you can try lower influence percentages, but stick with these velocity values.

wow, great new effect.
however it doesn’t affect audio? -
ah, i’m sorry, i hadn’t tried your version earlier.
it works perfectly.thanks guys for the help 🙂
