Create custom variable speed changes
You can manually divide a clip into segments and assign each segment its own speed setting.
1 In the Timeline, position the playhead or the skimmer at the frame where you want to begin a
new speed segment.
2 Choose Blade Speed from the Retime menu in the toolbar (or press Shift-B).
The Retime Editor appears above the clip (If it wasn’t already shown), and the clip is divided into
two speed segments.
3 To set the speed for the newly created segments, do one of the following:
•
Double-click the Retime Editor above one of the speed segments. Then, in the Custom Speed
window, set a new speed by selecting either rate or duration and entering a speed percentage
or a duration. Click anywhere outside the Custom Speed window to close it.
•
Drag the right edge of the speed segment in the Retime Editor to change the
segment’s speed.
4 To create and modify additional speed segments, repeat steps 1 to 3.
You can modify the transitions between segments to create smooth adjustments from one
speed to another. For more information, see
Add transitions between speed segments on
page 307.
