how to 1) speed up more than 4x and 2) slow down gradually
Hello
I see a lot of videos these days which fly very quickly through some action super fast to slow it way down to slow motion at some more interesting part of a video. I’ve tried to do this but it seems you can only speed up 4x the original speed. How do you go really fast such as showing a sun setting or people in a long line moving really fast? I can’t believe that Sony would make you take a clip and keep rendering it every time 4x faster. There must be a better way to speed up a portion of a clip more than 4x and then at a certain point slow it down gradually into slow motionPlease let me know your ideas on :
1- faster than 4x
2- taking a single clip and going fast, then decreasing speed until it’s going in slow motionThanks

I like to do this a lot for certain pieces and have found the TIME BANDIT plugin invaluable. Of course you can also do the 300% velocity envelope render it out and do it again and then use another velocity envelope to slow it down.
Of course you can also use PLAYBACK RATE in properies but you are limitied to 300% like the velocity envelope.
All in all Time Bandit really is the best to achieve those really fast speeds.
Check out Excalibur if you don’t already have it as it includes Time Bandit or you can get it seperatly.

Playback rate (i.e. CTRL-Resize) goes from .24x to 4x.
Velocity Envelope goes from -1x to 3x.
Combine both of them for up to 12x in one pass. Then you can do as Don suggested – either render and apply the same to the new render or use a script to go faster.
