Sliding a Frame to a New Time in the Clip
Option-clicking a clip with the Time Remap tool enables you to grab the frame at that
point in the Timeline and move it to another time within that clip.
Note: For simplicity, the clip in the following example is described as having timecode
starting at 00:00:00:00, and the Timeline starts at 01:00:00:00. In reality, the source
frame you select corresponds to the timecode value of the captured media file.
For example, suppose you click a 10-second clip at frame 00:00:03:00 and drag that
frame to 01:00:06:00 in the Timeline. A time remap keyframe appears at frame
00:00:06:00 of your clip.
Frame 00:00:03:00 from the clip’s media file has been remapped to frame 00:00:06:00 in
the clip. A new keyframe is placed at 00:00:06:00, with the left half of your clip being
slowed down and the right half being sped up.
To drag a source frame to a new time:
1 Select the Time Remap tool in the Tool palette (or press the S key three times).
2 Move the pointer over the clip you want to adjust in the Timeline.
∏
Tip: By holding down the Shift key before clicking a clip with the Time Remap tool, you
can scrub though the clip—watching it in the Canvas as you find the specific frame you
want to remap.
An indicator line appears over
the clip showing you which
frame you’re about to select.
