Enabling variable time changes
with time remapping
Time remapping lets you vary the speed of a clip by using keyframes.
This means
one portion of the same clip could be in slow motion while another portion of the
clip is in fast motion. In addition to giving you this flexibility,
variable-speed time
remapping enables you to smoothly transition from one speed to another, whether
from fast to slow or from forward motion to reverse motion. Hang on—this is
really fun.
1
Open Lesson 11-3.prproj if it isn’t open already.
2
Open the Practice sequence.
As you add
time adjustments to the clip, it will change length.
3
Adjust the height of the Video 1 track by positioning the Selection tool over the
Video 1 label and dragging the edge of the track up.
Increasing the track height makes adjusting keyframes on the clip much easier.
4
Right-click
the clip, and choose Show Clip Keyframes > Time Remapping >
Speed in the clip’s menu. With this option selected,
the yellow line across the
clip represents the speed.
5
Drag the current-time indicator on the Timeline to the point where the villain
turns and starts walking across the room (about 00:00:01:00).
