Removing time-remapping deletes clip

I'm doing something wrong here, and I know it's probably a very simple mistake.
I implemented a time-remapping segment in a clip in CS6. Then, I attempted to remove it using the following instructions from the site:
Remove the Time Remapping effect
You cannot toggle the Time Remapping effect on and off like other effects. Enabling and disabling Time Remapping affects the duration of the clip instance in a Timeline. In effect, Time Remapping performs an edit. However, you can use the Toggle Animation control in the Effect Controls panel.
Click the Effect Controls tab to make this panel active.
Click the triangle next to Time Remapping to open it.
Click the Toggle Animation button next to the word Speed, to set it to the off position. This action deletes any existing speed keyframes, and disables Time Remapping for the selected clip.
The problem: instead of just deleting the speed keyframes, when I clicked "okay" it deleted the entire clip from the timeline.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the quick response. I just repeated my steps exactly:
Loaded sequence with single video clip in Timeline track Video 1.
Right-clicked on clip to display - Show Clip Keyframes/Time Remapping/Speed
Added two keyframes to the clip.
Lowered the yellow control line to 40% between the two keyframes
Stretched the right side of first keyframe and left side of second keyframe to create more of a transition in speed.
Reviewed the clip to see the effect. And then went to remove it.
Highlighted the clip in Timeline
Went to Effects Control panel and clicked on the “stopwatch” next to Speed to toggle it.
Got a prompt: “This action will delete existing keyframes. Do you want to continue?”
Clicked OK and the entire clip disappeared from the sequence.
Any help appreciated.

Repeated frames when time remapping AVCHD clips in AE

I will try to explain the best I can. Keep in mind I am a novice and by no means highly technical. First some background: I edit sports video for college bound athletes. I put together highlight videos for them. When I am filming I start/stop the camera at the beginning/end of a play so I can easily identify/edit "clips". I have imported 10 AVCHD "clips" from my Sony HDR-SR11 to a Premiere Pro CS4 project. I am using the "AVCHD 1080i anamorphic/29.97fps" sequence setting as my output for this project will be a 1440x1080 mepeg2 file. So I get my clips in the timeline add some transitions, no major edits, render the work area and playback. Everything looks fine, all clips play smooth. Now here's the rub. I want to freeze play, highlight an athlete then continue play. To do this I am using AFTER EFFECTS (NOTE I have done this with HDV footage off my Canon HV20 camera with no problems) so anyway with the new CS4 edition I can right click on a clip in my timeline and choose "replace with after effects composition"....I do and the clip migrates to AE into a a composition ready for me to work my magic. So my method for freezing play is select the "clip" in the composition, Ctrl-Alt-T for time remapping. I add 5 seconds to the duration of the composition since I am going to add time when I freeze the clip. I find the point in the clip where I want to freeze it. I place a "time remap" keyframe at that point. I then drag my mouse to highlight the keyframe I just placed and the keyframe at the end of the clip......I drag them to the right 2 seconds, then cut/paste the keyframe I added which is placed by the CTI (which is still at the original point). Now I have a 2 second freeze in play. I add a white solid and do some masking to highlight the athlete during that freeze. And that's it.....I press "O" then "N" to define the work area then I choose "trim comp to work area" from the composition menu. I repeat this process to all my clips and here is where I see the problem. I go back to my timeline in PP and I play the clips......I see my freeze/highlight edits from AE just fine but on SOME clips......2 out of 5 for example.....I get jittery playback. So I decided to scrub thru the clip frame by frame to see what is going on. So within 29 frames this is what I see. Girl is getting ready to serve a volleyball....Frame 1-15....she steps forward to serve THEN at frame 18 she pops back to the starting point...IT LOOKS LIKE FRAMES 1-12 ARE BEING REPEATED. I scrub the rest of the clip and this happens at random points....a small block of frames gets repeated throughout the clip which in the end looks like "jitter" or "jumpy" motion. I follow the same workflow in AE for each clip BUT this "jitter" does not happen on every clip...only some. So is my workflow at fault or is AE/PP/Adobe still buggy when it comes to working with AVCHD codec?? Anyone else experience this, if so do you have a fix?

I haven't tested your theory yet Andrew but I did do this. In trying to track down exactly where these repeated frames are occurring. In AE I redid one clip that was repeating frames. I went frame by frame in AE and see no repeated frames. These changes should occur automatically in PP since the AE comp is still dynamically linked to my PP timeline. So I scrubbed the "source" (AE comp) file from the PP project panel frame by frame. And low and behold there are repeated frames, so it appears the problem is the handoff from AE to PP Sooooooo, ok I deleted the source file in the PP project panel and reimport it via dynamic link. Open the clip in the source monitor and yes...repeated frames at same point....recheck the comp in AE....no repeated frames. Delete the clip from PP project panel and this time import the clip directly instead of dynamic link.....repeated frames still there. So how about rendering the clip in AE the old fashion way then import to PP. AE Render Queue best settings - lossless.....blah blah blah. I ended up with an .avi file with no repeated frames. So to me the problem is the handoff between AE & PP. So rendering my AVCHD comps in AE first is my work around for now. Andrew...thanks! I will try your theory of converting the clip prior to the comp asap...right now I am trying to meet a deadline.

Dropped Frame Errors When Time Remapping DVCPRO HD 720p60 Clips

Wondering if this is common due to FW800 throughput limitations or abnormal behavior.
I'm editing several DVCPROHD 720p60 projects and cutting them in FCStudio is like butter on a Dual 2 G5 connected to a FW800 G-Raid. I needed to time remap a clip and lo and behold, some dropped frame errors. Recreated and retimed several times with the same error. Dropping down the playback quality fixes this but wondering if it would be a normal occurance to see this with DVCPRO HD footage.
Any thoughts?
Dual 2 G5, 17 & 15 PB Mac OS X (10.4.7) Monitors, G-Raids, and Cameras, oh my!

It may be normal... a lot depends on which machine you're using, but If it drops frames, render it...

Undesired time remapping

This one has me stumped. I'm thinking it's related to render files, but can't quite figure it out.
Had a piece that contained several clips that were speed-reduced to 40%. Not strictly time-remapped with keyframes and all, just speed reduced.
Piece was great, rendered all, compressed, delivered. All was well.
Then, to open up some space on the hard disk for the next project, I made a couple of poorly-thought-out stabs at removing unused clips with media manager and/or find:unused. These didn't really go anywhere, and I don't believe I actually ended up removing any clips. Some were briefly offlined, then reconnected, but none were actually removed.
What did happen was FCP gave me some funky time-remapping in clips that were never time-remapped to begin with.
Any ideas how this might happen? When I play the master sequence down in FCP, everything looks great, but when I double-click on some of the clips in the sequence and view them in the viewer, they're all screwed up; time remapped, jittery, just weird, and not at all like they appear in the sequence.
When I export the current master sequence to compressor, it doesn't come out looking like it does when I play it in the canvas...it comes out with the individual clip weirdness that I see when I view the clips individually in the viewer.
So I'm wondering if when I play the sequence I'm looking at the render files, but when I open the clips I'm looking at...something else?
And to add to the weirdness, when I open my backup project file, I get exactly the same weirdness.
Ideas?

are the original QT capture files normal or have they been affected?
i know when i have done time remapping (just reducing speed) and then have dumped the original files only to recapture them later that if I dont recapture them on the exact hard drives listed during reconnecting the media, that fcp screws everything up.
7 second clips contain minutes and minutes of footage.....that or a 7 sec. clip will be a still shot that I never used.
I have found media manager to never work properly so i just dont use it anymore.....
if you have time try and recapture all the original footage on the original hdrives and see if that helps.....
thats the best i can do....so i hope it helps.....

Fiters applied with Time Remapping don't work?

Guys,
I'm finding when I use the "Time Re-Mapping" on a clip and then apply another key-framed filter it doesn't work .. although they do work if you don't key frame them. I guess it kind-of makes sense... but is this purely because the clip is time-remapped? Is this a 'bug' or is it like that with any NLE? As a work-around, I can export that time-remapped single clip to an AVI (or other format), re-import the now remapped clip and apply the key-framed filter and it works fine .. which I suppose proves my hypothesis.

The way Premiere works.... probably so. I think it could be reasonably argued either way. If it is "normal", I guess I'd like to see an error message or something say "hey, you can't do that on a time re-mapped clip" .. or something like that.
But then, I'd like to see a progression bar fill up as AME loads a project too just so I'd have that warm & fuzzy that something is happening and know my machine hadn't frozen.
Thanks...

FCP clip time remapping / speed ramping question re realtime after changes?

Hello All,
My first post here! I tried searches for this topic but didn't find....
I wasted hours today messing with the keyframe editor to try and ramp parts of a single clip... first time using this feature and couldn't follow the manual! way too difficult to grasp without fluency in 'techygeekconfusic' lingo. Anyway, I don't think the topic was covered from what I read in my version of the manual.
So I went straight for the keyframe editor graphic display under the clip in timeframe and put in a few points with the pen tool (using time graph blue line) and seemed to be going great until I realised that the segments in the single clip (ten minutes long) that I was adjusting were affecting what came after - ie slowing down the remainder of the clip. And that was all I could get from my manual that this happened without any explanation about stopping it happen by letting the outpoint of the clip readjust automatically for the changes made to that part of clip so that altered clip would be shorter in timeline...
I then tried again from the start but noting the minus time on pentool arrow when I slid each keyframe point back and subtracting it from the duration in motion tab and that seemed to work for a while...
but God bless my little brain! what I really wanted to happen - for the blasted thing to readjust itself automatically after I had adjusted a segment of the clip so that the remaining non-adjusted part would play in realtime with a new shorter outpoint in the sequence timeline - just couldn't be realised in my little brain or in the 'user friendly' control panels of FCP.
I tried to get hold of the 'bezier' point at the end of clip and drag forward at the same rate as each change but could'nt get hold of it! I tried to put two points with pen tool at same time but couldn't isolate them from one another to create four points for adjustment without having still frames between.. blah blah.. I tried to get snapping to the pen tool points for further control but couldn't... duh!
Please! how do you do it! obviously I have limited intelligence but I need to do this now. I want to adjust the 10 minute clip (DVCproHD 720p24N format - not that this should matter as my sequence settings are same) adjust the clip at maybe 10 different places so that it ramps in speed to cover up some boring areas and then back to normal speed after the changes - not back to some slo mo **! speed.
I tried cutting with the razor tool to isolate and that didn't work either and other analogue brain type stuff ok I know you are laughing at me now but please help?!! I'm pretty new to this stuff, give me the old reliable Steenbeck and a few real bins and strips of film hanging on clothes pegs and I'll be ok...
Help will be most gratefully appreciated!!!!!!!!

Andy did a very good job explaining the underlying problem with the time remap tool.
The key thing to remember is the first and last frame are fixed in time. If you speed up the clip, time after that keyframe will have to slow down to compensate. Imagine the clip is a rubber band that has been cut so that it is a long string-like form. Now imagine anchoring each end of it with a push pin to a board. If you grab a point on the band and pull it toward one of the pins, the part of the band on the side you are pulling away from the anchor will stretch (run slower) and the side you are pulling toward will bunch up (run faster). But, when all is done, the start and end will still be at the fixed points.
The way I've worked through this is to make a general guesstimate of how long the clip will be once all the ramping is complete. For example, I want the clip to start at normal (100%) speed and ramp up to 300% and back down to 100%. I might start with a clip having a constant speed of 200% and then change it to variable and play with it. The key concept is if you can get the overall LENGTH to where it should be, the rest works out fine.
I have repeatedly asked in the FEEDBACK/New Features page that they add a toggle to the speed/time remap tools. This toggle should allow you decide whether the playback TIME for the clip should be fixed or flexible.
For example, if you were working with a 4 second clip and wish to slow it down by 50% -
If 'Maintain Time' is toggled ON, when you decrease the speed of clip by 50% - the clip will still play for 4 sec (but will show only half the total frames).
If the toggle is OFF, the 4 sec clip will now play for 8 sec and will display all the frames.
Where this concept becomes really powerful is when it's applied to time remap. If you have 'Maintain time' toggled OFF, as you adjust speed, the end point of the clip will float in time. If you increase the speed, the overall time of the clip will shrink. If you slow it down, the end point moves out in time.
We need to keep asking ...

Motion Effect doesn't always work with Time Remapped clips

Hello all. I used Premiere 4 extensively (yes, '4' not 'CS4') and I'm just getting back in to it with CS6. Lots of cool new stuff to learn but I'm happy to see the basics are pretty much the same!
I'm wondering if anyone has much experience using motion effects on time-remapped clips. If I set 'position' or 'scale' keyframes in the Effect Controls, the changes are not always reflected in the program monitor, depending on the clip. If I try and set keyframes by dragging the video around the program monitor, it puts keyframes in places where I don't expect.
This doesn't affect all time-remapped clips, just some of them. Or maybe it does affect them all, just to varying degrees, depending on how extreme the time remapping is. I'm guessing now.
If I were to speculate further, I would say that the motion effect is operating on the clip before the time remapping gets applied. Again, just a guess, which is why I'm asking if someone more knowledgable has any insights before I pursue this much further..
Many thanks!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your response! Nested clips, you say? I have heard of these things but I can only imagine what they are and how to use them. Sounds like it's time for me to RTFM!
There's so much new stuff, it doesn't surprise me that I have to not only figure out the new feature, but the proper workflow to utilize it. I gotta ask: Do you know of any documents along the lines of "how to use modern premiere from the perspective of an antiquated premiere professional"? 4.2 was my bread and butter for many years and I knew it like the back of my hand. As such, it's kind of hard to stay awake sifting through Adobe's docs which generally assume no prior knowledge; although you giving me a place to start is a big help! But like I said: I gotta ask because it'd be great if there was something just for 'people like me.' (ain't it always the case? )
Again, thank you.

How to apply Time Remap to multiple clips simultaneously

Quite often after trimming many different clips for a wedding video I will then want the majority of them slowed down to a 50% speed. I know how to apply the Time Remap Speed % change in the Motion Tab, but have yet to figure out how to make the change to multiple clips simultaneously.
Thanks for your help!

You can apply a speed change from one clip to multiple clips by copying the first one, then pasting attributes (option + V, then select speed from the list) onto as many clips as you have selected.
Just be aware that this will ripple your timeline by extending all of your clips. FCP keeps the original out point of the source clip, not the out point of each cut on the T/L.

Time remapping in After Effects using Premiere Pro clip

I'm probably losing it cause this should be idiot proof. I watched the Creative Cow tutorial but he must be using an earlier version of the suite.
The problem: I want to remap an 8sec clip and more radically slow down the footage then use the frame blend mode. When ever I dynamic link
the clip into AE and enable time remapping, the program does not give me the two set key frames at the clips beginning and end as the tutorial said it would. Now when I drag the footage to make it longer, it doesn't freeze frame at the end of the clip but instead brings in footage from the source file. What am I missing and is there a manual way to achieve this so that I can remap the premiere clip only?
Thanks for any help.

the program does not give me the two set key frames at the clips beginning and endThat is not true in general. As Mylenium told you, in PrPro and AE you are working in non-destructive way. That means when you replace your short clip in PrPro timeline, the whole footage is still there, but AE composition is properly trimmed according to your PrPro timeline.
When you enable time remapping, AE DOES create two keyframes, but you don't just see them because your original footage is much longer and the keyframes are simply out of your AE comp ongoing borders...

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously?

Is there a way to apply Time Remapping to multiple clips simultaneously? I'd like to uniformly speed up and slow down two different clips that are playing in a picture-in-picture setup. I’m hoping there’s a more elegant way to sync them up than just editing their Time Remapping functions individually (I already tried using an Adjustment Layer. It didn’t work).

you can try nesting the two clips together, then control the time remapping of the nest.

To "widen" time remap clip - possible?

Since i'm new commer from APPro i wonder if it's possible to move the out point of the clip when u make time remap? In APPro (Premiere) it's possible to widen the clip up to the phisical OUT point of the captured footage. In FCP i can't do that

Anton
I think you're not getting an answer because your question is a little difficult to understand for anyone who hasn't seen how PP handles it ... I think you're asking if you can simply pull the end of a clip to stretch (slow it down) or shorten (speed it up) it in time? If thats what you're asking then the answer is no, not with the Time Remap tool, but its easily worked around using "Fit to Fill" (Shift-F11). Use "F" to match frame into the Viewer, remark the are you want to fill in the timeline, then press Shift F11.
Hope it helps

Red numbers top left of a clip - time remapping?

when i move a clip backwards or forwards it displays on the top left hand corner of the clip red numbers, which say plus or minus numbers depending on if i move it backwards or forwards. I think it is time remapping, how do i turn this off and return my clips to normal ? thanks
The video and audio are not unlinked however when i move the video it seperates from the audio

It sounds like you may have unchecked the Link Selection button. Make sure to check it and you should be good to go. See image below.

Show Time remap clip key frame

Hi,
Is tehre a way to set the default show clip key frame to time remap instead of opacity in the timeline ?
Thanks,

Any way to STOP Time Remap from rippling clips?

Hi Guys,
I'm editing a music clip right now that requires a fair bit of slow-mo and fast-mo and I am using Final Cut's very capable time remapping tool to acheive this. Please bear in mind that I am using the "Constant Speed" option.
One thing that really spoils my day is the way re-mapped clips ripple through the rest of the sequence, moving all the rest of my clips up or down. As you can imagine, I've got everything going to the beat and when I remap a clip it screws up my timing.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
All the best
Iain

One thing that really spoils my day is the way re-mapped clips ripple through the rest of the sequence, moving all the rest of my clips up or down. < </div>
I've been kvetching about this silly design decision for years. This is the only extend-length-of-clip function FCP treats as an insert. It's lame. Or, if it's not lame, at least the operation should be user-switchable.
Time changes are handled much more efficiently in every other NLE. The workarounds described here are all kluges and require many additional steps. But the workarounds work and you get used to them. My method is to have a special sequence open dedicated to only time remapping and speed changes. Bouncing in and out of the TIMING sequence ain't that tough but it sure bugs me.

Odd behaviour when automating opacity on a time remapped clip?

I simply cannot automate opacity on a clip that is time remapped....the edits show as normal but the clip either doesnt go opaque or goes black.
is this a bug or is it just my system?
windows 7
i7 cpu
12 gig ram
Premiere pro cc 2014 version 8.0.1 (21)

it works if i nest it but that is not good for fast workflow. but it did work before the update so thinking about it it cant be my system.
