Copying Speed Change Attributes
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2022 7:50 pmIt has been discussed before but I would like to ask BM to take another look at copying and pasting speed changes form clip to clip.
It looks there are a couple of bugs (or odd behaviour) that go with it.
To simplify let's say that the clip we are copying from is the "donor" and the clip we are pasting to is the "receiver".
First, when you copy speed change from "donor" to the "receiver" it doesn't copy keyframes and speed changes from trimmed clip on the timeline, rather, the speed changes are bound to "donors" total lenght and timecode position so when it transfers this data to "receiver" it tries to copy exact keyframes on the same timecode of the "receiver". Of course it results with wrong speed changes if the clip is not the same total lenght as the "donor" clip.
I tried a workaround with compound clips. I would first create a compound clip from the "donor", then do speed change on it. Then I make a compound clip from the "receiver" and copy from comp "donor" to comp "receiver". It works almost ok. But then there is another weird issue. Copying results with one extra keyframe at the end that is reversed and cannot be reset or deleted.
Please BM, take a look at these issues.
Thanks in advance,
Oggy
