Possibility to Speed Footage, PItch Shift Voice?
A quick question here, can’t find anything on it.
I have a client who is on camera giving product demonstrations, for the most part you see the product and her hands, not her lips or face.
Is there a way to speed up the footage and keep her voice pitch the same? She would like to have the video sped up a little if possible. In the future, we’ll have her record at a faster rate with a well paced Teleprompter, but if there can be had a way to increase the speed to 120% and then in SoundTrack put the pitch to normal, that would be superb.

Use Soundtrack Pro to handle the audio and FCP for the video.

20% is a big pitch correction. I have done voice up to 10% using MPEX3 but 20%? I can’t imagine why you need to go that fast. She must have been speaking underwater.

Okay, so it’s doable then. Cool. I guess I speed the video up in Final Cut, then send the audio to Soundtrack, and there I will be able to pitch shift it back where I want it? I’ll read up on how to do that.
Should be interesting to see the results.

I would be far more interested to hear the results.

If there were not a render issue, it seems like much of content (like talk radio archives, educational lectures, etc.) might be sped up a bit. I tend to notice a few Youtube Commentators seemingly speeding up their video’s, or at least that is the perception I have when listening to them.
I, for one, like to download content and play it back double speed with Quicktime. An hour lecture becomes 30 minutes. 3x speed can be problematic with some speakers, but 2x speed is comfortable. I love to compress time on some content where it’s merited.
