Time Remapping & the X Axis in Final Cut Pro 5

Video Transcript

This is C.J. South representing expertvillage.com. In this clip we will finish discussing time remapping in Final Cut Pro. So now normally you are not going to want to change that most of the time. A lot of times you might just want to change on the X access. Now the X access has moving our key frame from left to right. Now the frames are always played back at the frame rate of the clip. So you can set a key frame at any point on the X access to specify which media file frame you want to see at that moment in the clip. For example, suppose you want frame 100th of a clip to appear 2 seconds into the clip. In this case, you set a time remap key frame at 2 seconds on the clip then you vertically adjusts this key frame to the value 100. So to add a key frame to this, you just go to the tool pallet. Down onto the bottom, you see this pen tool. All right and grab that pen tool and come up and you can now add a key frame by using this pen tool just by clicking on it. All right, I have now added a key frame. Now you notice when I add that key frame it ramps around that key frame so what is it is basically essentially whats its doing because when this is a straight line across; let me show you here, when this is a straight line across its a freeze frame. Okay, that's a still image. It's not moving in time; it's just showing one image. So when I add that key frame you notice how it has a steeper curve so it is going to speed up a little more than here and once it gets to that point, it is going to smooth out and then speed back up. So let's go ahead and just watch that here right quick. Let me pull up our canvas. Okay, its a little choppy but it went from slow to faster then to slow and then faster again. Let me go ahead and just kind of slide that over here using the slide tool. Going to slide it a bit. Oops you know what, I'm not going to do that. Let's just go ahead and move this key frame down here. Now let's watch it; slow, fast, slow, so that's what's going to happen. You are going to have slow, faster slow, faster and then it will slow down again at the end.
