Time Remap Parameters
 Setting: This pop-up menu allows you to choose between constant and variable speed.
 Duration: The total duration of the clip in the Timeline, accounting for constant
speed changes. This field always shows clip time mode (as opposed to source time)
and View Native Speed is always deselected.
 Speed %: The speed percentage at which the clip plays back, if a constant speed
change has been applied. If the clip is set to variable speed, the word “Variable”
appears in this field.
 Source Duration: The total duration of the clip, including unused areas at the
beginning and end of the clip. This field shows clip time mode (as opposed to source
time) and View Native Speed is always selected.
 Reverse: When selected, indicates that the clip is set to play backward.
 Frame Blending: When selected, indicates that frame blending is turned on to
smooth out the apparent motion of clips moving in slow motion.
Time Graph Output Parameters
 Time: A timecode value showing the clip’s current playhead position in the Timeline
or Viewer. If the clip is in a sequence, the current sequence timecode value is shown.
If the clip is a Browser clip, the clip’s current timecode value is shown.
 Source Frame: The timecode value of the clip frame that’s mapped to the current
time. This field always shows time with View Native Speed selected.
 Velocity %: Indicates the rate at which a clip is changing from one playback speed to
another when time remapping keyframes with Bezier smoothing are applied to a
variable speed clip.

Tip: Like any other motion parameters, time remapping parameters can be saved as
motion favorites. For more information, see “
Creating Favorite Filters and Transitions
To see timecode affected by speed adjustments to the current clip, select View Native
Speed. The word native indicates that you are seeing the source timecode numbers
as they exist in the media file without any interpretation from Final Cut Pro. For more
information about timecode display options, see Volume II, Chapter 25, “Working
with Timecode.”
If View Native Speed is deselected, the timecode is affected by any speed settings
applied to the current clip. For example, if your clip has been slowed down by 50
percent, the timecode numbers increment at 50 percent speed as well.
Note: Timecode numbers appear in italics when View Native Speed is selected.
