How To Add Slow Motion In Final Cut Pro

Applying a constant speed change to a range selection or a whole prune alters the selection'due south playback speed by a uniform percentage. For example, applying a speed setting of 25 percentage to the selection makes the unabridged pick play in slow motion.

Constant speed changes normally alter the elapsing of a clip. By default, if a constant speed change causes the duration of a clip to become longer or shorter, all clips coming after it ripple forrard or backward. If you modify the speed to 50 percent, your clip becomes twice as long, and subsequent clips are moved to the right; if yous modify the speed to 200 per centum, the clip becomes half every bit long, and subsequent clips ripple left. For example, if you set a 5-second clip to play dorsum at 50 percentage speed, Terminal Cut Pro adds frames to the prune so that the clip becomes 10 seconds long and plays dorsum more slowly. If yous increment the clip's speed to 200 per centum, Last Cut Pro removes frames and the clip plays dorsum in only 2.v seconds.

A clip in the timeline appearing twice as long after a 50 percent speed setting is applied

In the Final Cutting Pro timeline, select a range, a whole prune, or a grouping of clips whose speed you lot want to change.
Practice 1 of the post-obit:
- Apply a preset speed setting: Click the Retime popular-up menu below the viewer and choose Slow or Fast, then choose a speed from the submenu.
- Apply a manual speed setting: Click the Retime popular-upward carte and cull Testify Retime Editor (or press Command-R) to display the retime editor above the selection in the timeline, then elevate the retiming handle.
  
  If you drag the retiming handle to the right, the speed of the selection decreases, the duration of the selection increases, and the bar above the timeline selection turns orangish.
  
  If y'all elevate the retiming handle to the left, the speed of the selection increases, the duration of the selection decreases, and the bar above the timeline selection turns blue.
- Apply a custom speed setting: Click the Retime pop-up carte du jour and choose Custom. In the Custom Speed window that appears, select a management (forward or contrary), so select either Rate or Elapsing and enter a speed per centum or duration. If you want to allow subsequent clips in the timeline to move earlier or later every bit a result of the speed modify, leave the Ripple checkbox selected. To prevent subsequent clips from moving, deselect the checkbox.
