Speed effect controls set to create a gradual ramp from 0 to 100 percent playback speed
Closing Retime Controls
When you’re finished creating your Retime effect, you can close the Retime controls so that clip
assumes a normal appearance again. Closing the Retime controls has no effect on the timing of
the clip, it just ensures you cannot accidentally modify the speed of the clip with the mouse.
To close the Retime controls in the Timeline:
 Click the X button at the upper left-hand corner of the Retime control box.
 Select the retimed clip, and either choose Clip > Retime Controls, or press Command-R.
When a retimed clip has its Retime controls hidden, a Retime badge appears to the left of that
clip’s name in the Timeline. You can reopen the Retime controls whenever you need to make
further changes.

shows a clip is being retimed
To reopen the Retime controls in the Timeline:
Select the retimed clip, and either choose Clip > Retime Controls, or press Command-R.
Once you’ve retimed a clip using the Retime effect, you can use that clip’s Retime Process
parameter in the Inspector to define how that clip’s retiming is processed, using the low quality
Nearest option, using Frame Blending, or using Optical Flow.
Using Retime Curves
You can also optionally use curves to retime clips, either in conjunction with the Retime
controls, or by themselves. For example, you can use the simpler retiming controls first to create
the overall speed effect you need, and then use either of the available Retime Curves to create
further refinements by adjusting Bezier curve handles to adjust the transition of one speed to
another, or you can expose either of the Retime Curves first and use it to create your speed
effect from scratch by adding and adjusting control points and curve segments.
