How to do Time Remapping on FCP

First of you would have to film footage and then upload it to your desktop. Open FCP and your footage. After you have done that, drag the clips into the Timeline.

- On the tool bar there should be a tool called the 'Slip Tool'. Hover the mouse over it and click and hold. New selections will appear and you then can click onto the 'Speed Tool'

- Next go to the bottom left corner and select the 'Toggle clip keyframes', this should allow you to put down control points (little blue dots) on the timeline.

- After you have placed your control points, you should be able to drag the points either further or closer together.

- When you are happy with the adjustment, select the selection tool to avoid making anymore changes.

- Double click on the clip you just applied the effect on and it'll appear in the viewer window, there will be 3 tabs above the clip. Click the 'Motion' tab.

- In the column on the left, the 'Speed' graph should be visible. Click onto that and then the graph changes and there should be your control points that you laid out.

- click on one of those control points and by right clicking, you have the option of either clearing it off or smooth it out.

- Fiddle around until you're satisfied with the ending result and everything has a smooth appearance overall.

You can then view the ending results.
