Final Cut Pro Quick Tip #21
Page 2 of 4
The simplest way of Time Remapping is to open the Timeline Keyframe Area and use the Time Remapping Tool (keyboard shortcut sss).

| Click in the Timeline to create a Time Remapped keyframe |
Clicking and dragging the cursor left or right will increase or decrease the speed of the clip on either side of the keyframe.
For example, in the following figure I have a football play about to play out. The quarterback falls back to make a pass and as soon as he does, I would like to have the clip slow down so the viewer can see the ball.
To do this I first create a Time Remap keyframe by clicking just before the quarterback releases the ball.
Then I go to the point where the ball is about to land and create another keyframe by clicking in the Timeline. I then click and drag the cursor to the left until the pop up display tells me the speed of the clip to the left of the keyframe is 50% of its original speed. Of course the speed to the right of the keyframe will speed up to match the original duration of the clip.
