Retiming Clips

Speed effects can serve many purposes in a project. For instance, you might want to suggest the compression of time in a training video to more quickly demonstrate the entire action of a time-consuming process. The slightly faster playback speed can demonstrate that process without boring your viewers. Speed effects can also exert an emotional impact. In a narrative piece with a character or narrator reflecting on past events, slowing the playback speed may visually heighten the emotion expressed in the voiceover.

Regardless of your reason for applying a retiming effect, always make sure that you do have that reason. Using speed effects merely for the sake of adding an effect will distract viewers, and distance them from your storytelling.

You already applied a constant speed change to a clip when you previously reversed playback of the first clip, the reflection of the hangar door opening. That speed change was very easy to apply by choosing Reverse Clip from the Retiming pop-up menu. The Retime Editor set the clip to play at normal speed, but backward.
