  Speed change quality

  Posted by Chad Green on February 25, 2008 at 7:50 pm

  Hi,

  I have a segment of a sequence that I have to slow down, the sequence contains some multiclips. To avoid the hassle of reducing the speed on the individual clips, I want to nest them and reduce the speed on the nested sequence.
  Will I loose quality doing the speed change on a nested sequence as opposed to individually and will the frames blend as well?

  Thanks,
  CG

  There is no quality loss. FCP always renders directly from the media file itself.

  All the best,

  Tom

  You may easliy wind up with frames blending from different clips.

  Has anyone tried speed changes in Motion?
  I was really impressed.

  I’d export the sequence as a self-contained movie and remap the imported movie.

  You will see slight image degradation because some fileds are gfoing to be double printed.
