Procedures
To prepare to warp a clip's time:
1 Open the Motion Mixer, add a biped to the Mixer, and load a clip on a
track. See
Adding Tracks to the Mixer on page 3704.
2 Scrub the time slider to find a motion you would like to occur earlier or
later in the clip. Note the frame number. This frame number is the original
time.
3 Scrub the time slider to find the frame on which you would like the
motion to occur, and note the frame number. This frame number is the
warped time.
With a time warp, you will cause the motion to occur at the desired frame
by moving the original time to the warped time within the clip.
To warp a clip's time:
1 In the Motion Mixer, zoom in on the original time for the time warp.
This is the frame number you noted in step 2 of the previous procedure.
2 In the Motion Mixer, select the clip.
3 From the Motion Mixer menu, choose Clips > Add Time Warp.
The appearance of the clip does not change when a time warp is added.
4
On the Motion Mixer toolbar, click Editable Time Warps.
A series of evenly spaced dashes appears on the clip. The lengths of the
dashes indicate the relative speed of the clip at various points. Right now,
all dashes are evenly spaced to indicate the clip is playing at its original
speed from beginning to end.
