    Posted by Nicholas Dean on February 9, 2010 at 8:37 pm

    I am adding speed boost to a clip to accelerate the clip, but it gives me no options to adjust.

    Is there a better way to speed up my clip. It is a time-lapse of people walking and I need to speed it up. Thanks.

    Set in and out points for your clip. From the Fast Menu (burger or map it to one of your keys), select Motion Effect. You can enter a speed, % or fit-to-fill.

    Or, from effects, use TIMEWARP, you can ramp up or down the speed changes.

    Hi all,
    I have the speed set in my clip, however, I’d like to “ease” into the maximum speed. So, instead of just hitting the clip at (now) 900% speed, I’d like to go from 100% to the 900% in the 12 frames I have allotted for the effect. How is this achieved?
    Thanks much in advance!!
    Best
    Joey

    ps. Vice Versa. I’d like to know how to “ease” from maximum speed to 100% as well!
    Thanks again!!

    to ease into highspeed:

    add timewarp
    edit timewarp
    click the graphing icon
    set a keyframe a 0%
    then whenever you’re ready for it to start speeding up add another keyframe at 0%
    then add a keyframe at a higher % like 1000%

    the keyframe icon is the pink triangle

    do the reverse to ease out
