Copy retiming

Hello,

first of all i'd like to thank you the fcp.co community, full of nice resources and tips.

I would like to know if there is a way of copying variable speed ramps from one clip to an other. I worked on a clip exported from after effects, made my different speed changes and i had to do a new export from the same clip again in after effects (with a small change) and i'd like to replace it in my fcpx edit withe the same different speed ramps. I already tried copy paste effects and attributes but nothing works.

Maybe someone knows a trick or a workflow to make this copy possible.

Thanks in advance

You can only copy/paste regular speed changes from one clip onto another. This does not work for variable speed ramps.

I use a workaround for this, but unfortunately this won't work in your case:

When I apply speed ramps to a clip and I know I might have to replace this clip one time or another I first turn the clip into a Compound Clip and I apply the speed ramp to the CC. Then, if I have to replace the clip, I open the CC in its timeline and I replace the clip there. The speed ramp will remain on the CC with the new clip.

Send feedback to Apple about this. They do listen to their customers.

Double post.....

Thanks a lot,

i'll try to delete and reconnect to the new media.
