How to work with HDV timelapse clips
Hi all- I recently shot a classic timelapse cloud scene with using my Sony HVR-V1U. I now have ~30 sequential clips on my FCP timeline. Is there a way I can join all the clips so I can adjust the speed (I want to speed up the sequence for effect)? I can’t believe I would have to adjust the speed of each clip…right?
Maybe the better question is: how do I adjust the speed of all 30+ clips in the sequence?
Cheers!

Three ways come to mind:
1. Select all of the clips and select Sequence – Nest items. That will put all of the clips into one nested sequence. Now just adjust the speed of the sequence.
2. Export the sequence with the clips in it as a QuickTime Movie file that isn’t self-contained. This will make a reference movie. If you do this, be careful where you movie the original files as that can make the movie unreadable. (Or just export it as a self-contained clip if you have enough space.)
3. Change the speed of one clip. Select the clip and select Edit-Copy. Now select the rest of the other clips and select Edit-Paste Attributes, select Speed. That will change the speed on all of the clips.
