Speed change a clip that was imported with an alpha channel
Forgive me if my question drips with avid ignorance as I’m not an Avid editor – i just work with a bunch of Avids next door
Is there a way to take an imported animated graphic that has an alpha channel and easily change the clip’s speed?
Process:
-Import quicktime file with alpha channel
-edit clip in over footage.
-realize it’s playing too fast so we want to slow it down.Is there a quick and easy solution for this?
thanks,

I should mention we’re using Media Composer v11

No quick way, You will have to split the matte and fill then do your speed change to both seperately then do a matte key after that

Oh how tedious. Thanks for the reply.
you’d think that after all these years it wouldn’t be so difficult…
thanks again,

You could run the clip through After Effects I suppose…
The Accom Stratasphere has been able to do this for years, wish my MC could.

Yeah, we get a ton of animations created in Combustion and instead of rerendering for very minor speed changes we want to be able to do it in our Avids. Not a huge deal, really, but it would be nice.

This is just ONE of the small things that avid could do to hold onto their “base”.

You probably know this but ‘subsys monpane debug’in the console would stop ‘Precomputes can’t be loaded..’ message. Can be usefull.
