Preserve audio pitch in retimed clips
By default, Final Cut Pro is set to preserve the audio pitch of a clip that has been
retimed. However, if you want to accentuate the retiming adjustment’s eect by
allowing the pitch to change in accordance with the retiming adjustment, you can
turn this feature o.
1 In the Timeline, select a range, a whole clip, or a group of clips whose speed you plan
to change.
2 Choose Preserve Pitch from the Retime pop-up menu in the toolbar.
A checkmark to the left of the command name indicates that Preserve Pitch is turned
on. Choose Preserve Pitch again to turn it o.
Change the end frame of a speed segment
You can change the end frame of a speed segment in the Timeline.
When you drag the retiming handle of a speed segment, you’re adjusting the speed of
the segment, not trimming it. The Change End Source Frame command allows you to
trim the end point (end frame) of a segment.
1 In the Timeline, select a clip that has speed segments.
