Manipulating Time

Three important techniques that were introduced in the video are time remapping, how to create and move keyframes, and ramping the speed change. Time remapping allows an editor to change the speed at various points in a clip. I will definitely use this technique moving forward, especially in establishing shots, because I think they need to be sped up, but then slowed down when they get close enough to the scene they're introducing. Manipulating keyframes is another important aspect because depending on where you want the speed change to occur, keyframes need to be set so only those portions of the clip have an altered speed. For instance, I would set two keyframes around the portion of my establishing shot where the camera is moving slowly, so I could speed it up without messing up the rate of the entire clip. Also, I would want to know how to ramp my speed changes, which is essentially changing the transitions into and out of keyframes, so the altered speed builds up gradually, and doesn't just change instantaneously. In terms of the establishing shots I plan to make, this technique would allow them to almost flow as they slowly build up speed, so it doesn't catch the viewer off guard.
