Create jump cuts at specified frames
To compress time in a long clip without playing the clip at fast speed, you can create jump cuts
to periodically skip over a specific number of frames. For example, if you have a 10-second shot
of a person walking down a hallway, rather than playing the entire 10 seconds, you can create
jump cuts every two seconds that skip 30 frames each, so the action happens in twice the time.
Speed up a clip with jump cuts
1 In the Timeline, select the clip that you want to speed up, and add a marker at each frame where
you want a jump cut to occur.
2 Choose Jump Cut at Markers from the Retime pop-up menu in the toolbar (shown below), and
choose a number of frames from the submenu.
