    Posted by Phil Huizen on January 1, 2011 at 11:52 pm

    Hello COW’ers,
    This is my first post, I’ve made a account especially for my question because I tried for hours to figure out. I have a clip which I want to slow down in motion (not in compressor btw) and then send back to FCP. But I can’t seem to find a way to smooth in the slow motion clip. So I want from 100% speed to 50% speed (with keyframing, but how?) i don’t get variable speed because you can’t put in: 50%. I’ve tried everything but it doesn’t seem to work. Does somebody of you pro’s know? 🙂 I’m still an amateur

    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    Meaning you ramp the speed from 100 to 50%?

    It deacceleres from 100 to 50 for. About à second and THE Goes 50% for THE rest of THE clip

    FCP doesn’t have great slow motion tools. You might want to think about Twixtor for this type of work.

    Are you try to use Speed Ramping?

    Try Opt+T in the timeline and you will get the keyframe>toggle clip keyframes overlays will appear on the timeline.

    you will see a series of tick marks on the clip, evenly spaced means 100% speed, closer together means
    faster than 100%. If you click on the tick marks you will create speed segments. Right Click in between the segments and you can change the speed of just the segment.

    try watching this video:

    watch the speed tools video, short sweet and to the point.
    enjoy.

    No I want to fade in slow motion. So from 100% to 50% fade and then constant 50%. I can do it with a behaviour but than I can’t set an amount of ‘%’ and I can’t precisely choose HOW to fade in. With keyframing I don’t get it.. Thanks for your post
