Elastic Wave Audio Retiming
Elastic Wave retiming is a fast and easy keyframe-based way of dynamically retiming audio,
squishing and stretching different parts of a waveform to subtly retime audio playback for a
variety of reasons, all while maintaining constant pitch. For example, if you’re using the audio
from another take to replace that of the current take, but the performer’s timing is just a little bit
different, you can use Elastic Audio to make small adjustments to retime the second
performance to match the first.
To use Elastic Wave retiming on an audio clip:
1 In this example, two tracks of foley effects have been recorded, and the bottom one
needs to be retimed to match the top one.
2 Right-click an audio clip and choose Elastic Wave retiming from the contextual menu to
reveal the Elastic Wave retiming controls.
Enabling Elastic Wave
3 Command-click anywhere on the clip to add speed keyframes to parts of the waveform
you want to retime by stretching or squishing. You can also place speed keyframes to
lock parts of a waveform you don’t want to retime.
