glau Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I have a video where I have a section that displays a stopwatch. The segment is pretty long, around 20 seconds. I would like to speed up the middle portion, say from when the stopwatch is at 2 sec to 18 sec. The problem is when I create the splits, the stopwatch effectively splits into three distinct timers, each starting back at 00:00:00. What I want to happen is that the stopwatch displays and counts from 0:00:00.000 to roughly 0:00:02.000 in normal speed, then play 0:00:02.00 to 0:00:18.00 at 4x with the stopwatch numbers also playing at the fast speed keeping the timing sequence, then at 0:00:18.00 to 0:00:20.00 back at 1x. I tried adjusting the three stopwatches with different starting values but that did not seem to work. It kept the same starting value for all three timers.

borate Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Click the + sign at the right of the Sequence 1 tab, to create a new, blank Sequence 2... Lay down the video clip that will be sped up and overlay the stopwatch. Adjust its animation and clip duration to match video length. Click the Sequence 1 tab, to return to the main sequence. Position the cursor where you want to insert the newly created clock clip. Click the Sequences tab in the bin, right-click on Sequence 2 and PLACE ON SEQUENCE AT CURSOR. (Or simply drag the clip to the timeline.) Split-out the segment to be sped up and apply the speed change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalsolo Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi "........What I want to happen is that the stopwatch displays and counts from 0:00:00.000 to roughly 0:00:02.000 in normal speed, then play 0:00:02.00 to 0:00:18.00 at 4x with the stopwatch numbers also playing at the fast speed keeping the timing sequence, then at 0:00:18.00 to 0:00:20.00 back at 1x........" This is too difficult.... Example with just the timer... Place the clock on the timeline and extend it to 20 seconds. It will play then play from 0:00.00 to 0:20.00 Save this as a Sequence by clicking the + that follows Sequence 1 x at the left end of the track. This will clear the timeline and place the 20 second timer clip in the Sequence bin. Drag and drop the "new" sequence from the bin back to the timeline Play the clip to the 2 second point and split the clip Play the clip to the 18 second point and split the clip Right click the central section between the splits and in change the speed to 400% The clip will now play 0 - 2 secs normal; 2-18 secs speeded up 4X and 18- 20 normal You can if you wish save this as another sequence to use in your project.
