Effects

When you put all this together, you can start to understand what is happening in more
complex time remapping keyframe graphs. For example, in the following graph, you
can see that the clip begins by playing in slow forward motion, gradually speeds up,
and then goes in reverse briefly before going back into slow forward motion just
before the end of the clip. Each speed transition is smoothed out by a Bezier keyframe.

For more information on using Bezier handles to smooth keyframes, see “

Smoothing

Keyframes

” on page 310. For more information on working in the keyframe editor of the

Timeline, see “

Working with the Timeline Keyframe Editor

” on page 325.

Tip: The keyframe editor area of the Timeline can be resized vertically, allowing you to
have a more detailed view of the keyframe graph you’re editing. For more information,
see “

Working with the Timeline Keyframe Editor

” on page 325.

Time Remapping in the Motion Tab

You can also make adjustments to a clip’s speed using the keyframe graph in the Time
Remap parameters in the Motion tab of the Viewer. For more information about
settings in the Motion tab, see “
