What is speed ramping?
Speed ramping is a technique in which the playback speed of a video is dynamically altered within the same clip, transitioning from normal speed to slow motion or fast motion. It adds a dramatic or stylistic effect to specific moments in a sequence.
How does speed ramping work?
Speed ramping involves gradually adjusting the speed of a video clip over time, either speeding it up or slowing it down. It is commonly used to emphasize moments, create smooth transitions, or add a dramatic effect. Speed ramping is done by adjusting the frame rate of a clip within video editing software.
What is ramping up?
Ramping up means increasing the speed of a video. It’s typically used to fast-forward through less important moments or to create a sense of urgency or energy in a scene.
How do you use a speed ramp?
- Import your clip into the timeline of your editing software.
- Right-click on the clip and choose the option for adjusting speed/duration or apply a time-remapping feature.
- Use keyframes to set points where the speed should change.
- Drag the speed control handle to increase or decrease the speed between keyframes.
- Smooth the transition for a more gradual ramp effect by adjusting the curve between the speed changes.
