speed adjustments to clips in your sequence, showing you how you’re altering a clip’s

Note: To have the keyframe graph area and speed indicator tick marks displayed by
default in new sequences, choose Final Cut Pro > User Preferences > Timeline Options
and select the Clip Keyframes checkbox and the Speed Indicators checkbox.
