Time remapping in FCP
I’m trying to find a simple way to, for example, slow a clip down from 100% to 50% speed over a period of a second, stay at 50% for a second, then speed back up to 100% over a period of a second. It appears that the time remapping feature within FCP does not allow this level of precision (it does weird things like keep the length of the clip constant even though there’s a speed change, etc.). This seems like a pretty basic effect so wonder I’m missing something.
From a Motion tutorial I saw, it appears that this is possible using “retiming set speed” in Motion. Am I correct?
Does precise time remapping work pretty well in Motion or am I better off using AE for this kind of thing?
Thanks for your time,

Yes, Retiming in Motion is great for doing this. No keyframing necessary, it’s Retiming “behaviors” set to in/out-points.

Jason,
I didn’t get an e-mail from this thread so I just saw your reply. Thanks. So FCP is out for this kind of thing, hugh?
For the project I’m working on, I want the time changes to start/stop exactly on on certain beats beats of the music track. Is Motion precise enough to do this?
