Ok, I have discovered that the time remapping tool works on other clips, so it must be this clip that is the problem. But, I do remember having this problem before. Just to set the scene, I have one video wich I have cut into lots of little bits (each bit is effectivly a copy of the original as i can expand each clip to the full video). The clip I am trying to remap is about 2 seconds long. when I apply a keyframe and try to change the elastic bands it either shrinks to 1 frame or expands to virtually the whole video, and there are no keyframes to be seen anywhere. I am only ajusting the % by 5-10. everythig else is working fine.
thanks,
anna
