  time compression

  Howdy.

  I have about 20 minutes of video I need to condense into 30 seconds. I was able to condense it into about 4.5 minutes. I then rendered it, and tried to condense again to no avail. How can this be done? Is it even possible?

  You can speed up a clips two ways:

  1) Hold down CTRL and resize the clips smaller. This will give you up to 4x faster.

  2) Apply a Velocity Envelope. This will give you up to 3x faster (you have to manually shorten the clip to match the new speed)

  You can then combine the two to get up to 12x faster.

  If you need more than 12x, render this out, add the newly rendered clip to the timeline, and the apply the above again to that new clip until you’ve reached the desired speed.
