Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1151)

The Change Speed Segment dialog appears.
5 Use any of the controls in the Change Speed Segment dialog to create the speed effect
you want.
For detailed information on each of the controls, see “About the Change Speed Dialogs.”
6 Click OK.
The speed effects are applied to the speed segment.
Keep the following points in mind when you use speed keyframes and speed segments:
• Any change you make to an individual speed keyframe will alter the segments to the
left and the right of the keyframe, but it will leave all other speed segments unchanged.
• If maintaining video and audio sync is a priority, select both the video and the (synced)
audio and apply constant speed changes only. Applying variable speed settings to a
video clip (including speed segments, the Curve buttons in the Change Speed dialogs,
and the Curve options in the Change Speed shortcut menu) will break the link to audio
items. Audio and video sync is lost when you apply variable speed changes.
If you use the Change Speed Segment dialog frequently, it might be useful to create your
own keyboard shortcut or button (in a button bar) to open the Change Speed Segment
dialog.
To create a keyboard shortcut or button for opening the Change Speed Segment dialog
1 Choose Tools > Button List.
2 Enter “segment” in the search field.
The Change Speed Segment command appears.
3 Select the Change Speed Segment command.
4 Do either or both of the following:
• While the command is selected, enter a keyboard shortcut.
• Drag the command to a button bar to create a button.
