Speed Change setting
Trying to change speed on some clips. I type in 175% and it gives me 175.42% one time, I try again and then it’s 175.36 and so on.
How do I get the speed change I actually type in?Thanks

It’s rounding to the frame. Perhaps 175% doesn’t translate to a specific frame. But the number of frames chosen probably translates to the fraction of a percent.

Ah, I see in this case that may be so. But it happens on many occassions when I use other percentages. 40% becomes 41.2%, and so on.
Is there ‘set’ speed changes that translate to the frame accurately?

Same thing. It has to do with the number of frames you have chosen to slow down in relation to the number of frames you are trying to ‘create’ or fit into a specific time. Why do you need an exact percentage?

The HD conform place keeps grumbling about why the speed changes are such fractional numbers.

So you are doing an offline?

Yes. The speed thing hasn’t really been a major problem, it’s just that the on-line editor wondered why I always had such weird speed change percentages.

Got ya, tell them it’s all math. Are they doing the online in FCP?

Yeah, this particular facility been a FCP shop for a number of years now. All-in-all the process works fine with FCP. This is my second MOW with them but I’ve done over 60 TV episodes there as well. All pretty much the same process: Shoot film or HDCAM-24p, off-line in SD with DVCAM downconverts, email media managed project file or EDL back and on it goes.

Cool, then they should have ‘no’ problems with the online then, right? They should understand if they work in FCP.
