Gradual Playback Speed Increase?

Post by LGO »

I have a video shot from inside a vehicle driving down a rural French road. I would like to increase the speed to 110% to 115% as the video progresses to match the music I will overlay it with.

I know how to increase the playback speed, but I can't seem to find if it's possible to do it gradually. Everything I try increases the speed all a once. Is this possible (gradually increase speed) with the Playback Speed settings, or do I need to make two clips of the same segment, 1 at regular speed and 1 at the final speed, and use a long transition between them?

Any ideas on how to achieve this will be greatly appreciated!

I would suggest you cut the clip in segments and increase the speed in each segment.

Thanks for the reply, Dan.

Thought of that, but was hoping for something a little less than by "brute force" editing. Of course, I'm the same guy who will print out a wav form chart of music to sync photos and videos to crescendos of the background music. :lol: (which works better than any automated attempt at syncing music and images). This would be less effort than that, but hoped someone could enlighten me with a technique I haven't discovered yet.

Appreciate the response!

Unfortunately in VS, the only way to incrementally increase or decrease the speed is to cut the clip. VS's late, great big-brother program MediaStudio Pro had variable speed, which is done through keyframes. I think most consumer editors are not going to have this ability, the higher-end/professional editors do. They also carry a professional price tag..;)
