changing speeds
Hello all,
I’m working on a project where a person who was shot against a green screen will speed up or slow down during certain times, but return to normal speed inbetween. I believe what I’m trying to achieve is called “ramping”? Can someone point me to a tutorial or just explain the basics of how to achieve this in AE6.5 PB.
Sorry if this is a pedestrian question, but this is the first piece of work where I need to try and pull this off.
thanks in advance,
Kell -

Search for “Time Remapping” on this forum. It will bring up quite a few topics where this has been covered.

AE has a feature called “time remapping”. If you are using AE 7.0, right click on your video footage in the timeline window and go to “time>enable time remapping”. This creates two initial keyframes: one and the begining of your footage(representing the first frame of your footage), and one at the end(representing the last frame of your footage).
Now all you have to do is find the point in time you want to slow down, and create a new keyframe. Then commence to adjusting your time until you are satisfied.
I hope this is helpful and not too vague.

Although time remapping is a nifty feature in AE, it also isn’t perfect. Often you will see your frames double up and the end video can be somewhat choppy.
If you truly want to play with the speed of video, try REALVIZ retimer. It will actually create in-between frames by correlation the pixels from the previous and next frame thus creating TRUE fluid slow-motion.
