Time Remapping - Variable Speed Change
Time Remapping is Time Stretch on steroids - it's a fully animatable technique
for adjusting a clip's Frame Rate, permitting such effects as simple ramping of
speed from real-time to slo-mo speed then back again, to extensive random
speed changes and complete time alteration. And when combined with Frame
Blending, you can achieve truly bizarre visuals out of bland dull footage. For this
example we'll abuse our
Bouncing Ball.mov
clip and give it epileptic seizures.
