Hi Jerry,

Thank you so much for the post back. Speed changing a copy. That’s perfect.

One more question if I may.

I would duplicate the media in the browser or would a speed change to a duplicate also affect the original.

Thanks again for you great input on this question. It will save me days on my work process.

Warmest,

kevin

Thanks Jerry for posting back. That’s a shame about FCP not being scriptable. I thought all Apple’s apps were. Oh well.

Isn’t there a separate FCP language (that pluggins are written in). Maybe that an avenue to discover.

I routinely create a similar project – a video montage which has x number of slips, 3 secs long and 25% speed.

I would save an early visit to the carpels syndrome clinit if I could scrub the time line and be able to hit a key which gives me the above from the playhead into the time line. I could then finish a project by slipping and fine tuning the shots.

>Typing cmd+j will open a window to set the speed change. Probably should do this first then set the duration…< Can you explain this more. I would set the speed setting in the viewer? When I do this the whole hour off media I'm working with runs ar 25%. I guess I would have to change this back to 100% if I wanted to listen to audio as I scrub through. But already what you've thought me I can tell is going to really speed up the process for me. Many thanks again for your feedback. Many thanks and warm regards, Kevin

Hi Matt,

Worked a treat. Even though I had 702 Pro installed, I guess the old package receipt was confusing FCP somehow.

Thank you SO much for jumping in and sorting that mystery out.

WArmest,
