  • reverse speed and fitting to fill at same time?

    Posted by Erin Greenwell on March 1, 2011 at 12:04 am

    Hello,

    I’m on an avid sympony nitris vers 1.83

    Have a bunch of clips that I want to reverse the motion within each clip
    then take all those clips and speed them up by a certain percentage

    the emotional effect is tape rewinding quickly past an entire story etc

    I have been googling this problem but want to tripple check I am not missing something:

    I can put the reverse motion filter on all clips in the sequence but then cannot put a timewarp effect on those filtered clips in the sequence

    tried collapsing the sequence and draggin on the timewarp- no dice

    tried alt dragging the time warp filter to the clips with the reverse motion filter- no as well

    exporting a movie of the sequence with all clips reversed and then applying fit to fill on that reference movie into a sequence does the trick but since the footage is offline quality, this will be a problem down the line for the upres

    is there a way to nest sequences and apply speed and reverse effects to the same clip in Avid?

    Advice appreciated

    Use the motion effect as per normal, select fit to fill and then just add a “-” (minus) symbol in front of the fit to fill value.
