  • Variable Speed on audio

    Posted by Igal Mizrahi on August 19, 2006 at 2:25 pm

    I am trying to use normal speed on the first 5 secs and the last 5 sec of a speech, in between I want to speed it up at least to 180%. I cant manage to alter the audio speed and the video speed at the same time. I tried to Nest them but all it does is let me change the speed only at a constant speed. Anyone know if what I want to do is Possible???

    Thanks

    Don’t believe it’s possible in FCP. Try a third party program perhaps.

    Is the audio and video in one clip or separate audio and video clips? If they are both in the same clip, have you tried keyframing with time remap?

    If they are separate clips, join them with command-L, then export them and re-import them and then try to apply keyframes to time remap.

    Once I wanted to slow down an audio-only clip, but I couldn’t affect a speed change. So I joined the audio with a piece of video, exported that clip and re-imported. Then I slowed down the clip which worked. Then I separated the audio and video and used the slowed down audio. (When I tried to slow down the joined clip without exporting it didn’t work.) Hope this helps.

    Do the vari speed, trim the audio to where you want it to start and stop. Lay the normal speed audio (just the audio – deselect the video) where you want it.

    Easy way to do this is to select your clip in the viewer, press APPLE+OPTION+F to load the original normal clip into the viwer (without the speed up), mark and then overwrite. Might be safer to put the normal audio onto a seperate track.
