    How do you slow down the speed of an animation that was created in Motion? I have a clip that is 14 seconds and run to fast and I would like to make it take 28 to run….

    Hi Frank –

    Let me preface this by saying that I know nothing of Motion. But if you want your animation to go from 14 to 28 seconds, you have to cut your playback speed in half. This means that you are going to get some very chunky looking playback – stutter city!

    You can set the speed of your playback when you import your clip by setting it to 15fps in the Interpret Footage dialog you get when you right click the clip in the Project. This will make your clip show up in the Comp as 28 seconds long

    The only way I know of to smooth things out is to turn on frame blending in AE. You turn it on in the icon bar at the top of the Comp, and then you enable it on with the checkbox to the right of your clip after you put your clip in the comp. There may be other ways to achieve this that I’m not coming up with. Anyone feel free to weigh in with other opinions.

    Re-open the clip in Motion, extend the outpoint keyframe twice as far to the right, render mov.file, import new file.

    throw it into after effects and rerender at the length you need creating a comp at that running time and using time remap.
