slow motion in/out points got way out of sync
I have a long sequence (90 minutes) with a bunch of slow motion shots. today, I’m going through and noticing that some of the shots have been altered. When going in to the time remap section of the motion tab, I notice that the speed is set to constant speed with a zero percentage. What gives? Is there a way to figure out what it was originally? It’d take me hours to figure it out.

What version of FCP is this? How long are the captured pieces of media that these shots are taken from? Changes have been made to the application along the way, but generally the application does not support speed changes on clips longer than 10 minutes. I think there’s still something in the manual about this.
All the best,
Tom

FCP 4.5. My clips are between 2 and 4 minutes. The project has over 500 clips in it.

Did you insert shots into your timeline and THEN perform speed effects on them? If so, FCP has a nasty habit of simply sliding all the footage downstream of your edit, as if you performed an Insert Edit. This will cause all of your edits to be screwed up and could result in out of sync audio / video.

Yeah, that’s not my problem. I typically find the in/out points, put the clip into a blank area of my timeline, then CMD J to change the speed. Then I put the clip in the correct spot. I’ve had this project for over a year. My workflow is fine and have no problems. It’s just that today I opened the project and played back a section that I haven’t worked on for a couple of weeks. I noticed that it looks like someone went in and messed the the time remapping of about 20 clips. A clip that used to be slow mo, is not in reverse really fast. Or it’s in reverse, then freezes, then goes forward slow. Or it’s just a time remap with speed set to 0%.

There is no way to figure out what it should be if you speed changed and it got messed up. Time remapping had problems in that version with long clips. The Motion tab display often got screwed up. Take a look at the time remapping graph in the timeline and see how that looks. I’m surprised though it had problems with media that short.
All the best,
