68 - How To Blade Speed And Speed Ramp In FCPX

As a video editor, I am always looking for ways to keep my videos engaging and interesting for my viewers. That's why I love using blade speeding and speed ramping in Final Cut Pro. In this tutorial, I'm going to demonstrate how easy it is to use these tools to take your videos to the next level. Blade speeding is a technique that involves speeding up a clip to keep the video moving along while still showcasing the content. It's especially useful when you have a long clip that needs to be shortened to keep the viewer engaged. To blade speed a clip in Final Cut Pro, simply hold down the shift key and hit the B key to make a cut. Then, grab the line in the middle of the cut and drag it to the left to speed up the clip. You can adjust the speed by clicking on the clip and selecting "Custom" to fine-tune the duration and speed. Speed ramping, on the other hand, is a technique that involves slowing down or speeding up a clip at a certain point to create a dramatic effect. It's a great way to add emphasis to a particular moment in your video. To speed ramp a clip in Final Cut Pro, make a cut at the point where you want to start the ramp and then use keyframes to gradually change the speed from normal to fast or slow. You can also adjust the ramping duration to make the transition smoother. One thing to keep in mind when using these techniques is to give the viewer enough time before and after the blade speed or speed ramp. This will prevent the video from becoming too jarring or disorienting for the viewer. Overall, I highly recommend using blade speeding and speed ramping in your videos to keep them engaging and interesting for your viewers. With a little practice, you'll be able to master these techniques and take your videos to the next level. #FinalCutPro #videoediting #bladespeeding #speedramping #propertyvideos #tutorial #editingtips #videoproduction #aerialfootage #opticalflow #customization
