Final Cut Pro – Four Differences in Changing the Speed of a Clip

TIp Jar

There are two ways to change the speed of a clip in Final Cut Pro: constant speed or variable speed .

A constant speed change:

• Always changes the duration of the clip
• Always changes the duration of the timeline
• Changes both the audio and video
• Always plays every frame from the In to the Out

A variable speed change:

• Never changes the duration of the clip
• Never changes the duration of the timeline
• Changes only the video
• Plays the In, after that, all bets are off

Constant speed changes are done from the Modify menu, while variable speed changes can be done in either the Motion tab or Timeline.
