Title: Timewarp SlowDown
Hello all,

Having problems understanding how to effect the speed of a clip over time. I’ve read the manual and the online help and I’m at a loss.

I’m trying to slow the speed of a clip over time, from 800% and to 100%. It’s a timewarp I created in MC and conformed in the DS that I’m trying to recreate. I edit the source material into the timeline and apply a time warp. Select “Speed”. Keyframe the first frame as 800 and leave the last frame as 100. When I change the first keyframe to 800, the source frame changes to a point in the clip that’s offline. I want the first framed to be anchored, but setting the base frame to “First” or changing it to the timewarp source point doesn’t lock the effect to the first frame I edited in the timeline to begin with. I step into the timewarp and the base frame is on the original first frame that was edited in the timeline.

Conversely, I’m able to do a speed up no problem. What am I not understanding?

Thanks all,

Troy
