fully remove speed attribute?!?
hi,
i’ve come across a strange bug, which may be a feature i guess. it seems like it’s impossible to completely remove the speed attribute of a clip. all the “remove attribute” function does is set the time remapping to 100% constant speed, but the clip is still flagged as a time remapped one. when i roll the edits of such a clip it changes speed. argh!
to explain further, i’m editing a music video that was shot with a non sync film camera. to sync up all the takes i often have to change the speed of the clips by a couple of percent. since it’s a music video i can’t change the audio as i would for a non sync “sync sound” project. anyway, this is just to get the whole timeline in sync, after i’ve made my edits i remove this remapping since there’s no sync drift in the short segments. this works great, but it creates a small gap at each edit. no problem, i just roll to fit? no, that changes the clip speed!?! so i remove again, and roll all edits again, and again, and again, and after three or four times all remapping is removed. but then i decide to change an edit? damn. you see what i’m saying?
shouldn’t remove attributes actually remove them, not just reset them? and is there a way to manually and thoroughly remove time remapping from a clip?

Did you try to set ‘constant speed’ in the motion tab?

yes, that’s not it either. it seem like the problem is that i’ve set the speed of the master clip. when i change the speed on the timeline i don’t get this problem, it seems. however making the clip on the timeline independent doesn’t help either. once it’s “contaminated” by the master clip’s setting nothing changes this behaviour.
can you replicate this? change the speed of a master clip to say 97%, blending off, add it to a timeline, remove the speed attribute and roll the out point a few frames. what’s the speed of the clip now? for me it often ends up at 100.14% or so, suggesting that it’s a rounding error.

Yes, its seems that keeps the speed atribute. Other wise you would get 100%. No much to suggest you. When I get problems with FC (I mean when I know that the problems are not from the system), I open a new project and I select and dragg everything from the brownser of the old to the new project. The most of the times I get rid off this kind of problems.
Salud.

hi, mattius.
i’ve had this, too.
the only way i’ve fully removed them is to match frame, and replace edit. (or overwrite if you’ve already done a remove attributes)
cheers,

thanks. good to know there’s nothing “wrong” with my setup, and doing it the way you suggest isn’t too much work after all.
