  • Reduce speed of multiple clips – not images!

    Posted by Thiago Moraes on August 4, 2015 at 2:52 am

    Hello,

    I usually reduce speed of several clips in a row (no blanks). I also choose “maintain audio pitch”. Please note that my question is about clips (footage), not still images!

    I can’t find a way to do it all at once.

    If I select them all in timeline and go to Speed/Duration, they overlap forward each other.

    I end up applying Speed/Duration for each one individually, and then dragging side by side to each other.

    Any ideas?

    what about doing 1 and copy and paste attributes to the others?

    Hello, Alex.

    Thanks for your reply. Speed/duration is not copied when copying pasting attributes. 🙁

    For that, I’d have to use time remapping, but then I’d lose the Maintain audio pitch.

    not ideal…

    but select group of clips…

    nest

    then perform speed change on the nest…

    That is a workaround. But really not ideal, since I can’t fine trim after reducing speed. I edit mainly for high level athletes, and trimming, splitting, etc requires editing on the “stretched” clip and I’d have to go back and forth for checking every clip and its result.

    When I reduce speed of a nested group of clips and enter the nest, clips inside the nest are normal speed.

    When there are 2 or 3 clips to reduce speed, that’s ok dragging them around. But when there are tens, there has to be a way…

    On a side not: stills do not have speed.

    Hi Ann,

    Thank you for chiming in!

    I am afraid I didn’t follow you. I am referring to movie clips, not still images.

    You need to use the option, “Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips”

    1. Select all clips in the sequence (whose duration you want to change)
    2. go to Clip > Speed/Duration
    3. change the duration as you want
    4. check on “Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips”
