Why is the graph editor different in AE CS4 than in your version. The bezier handles don't work at all the same way in CS4. You can't curve them, they're just solid, you can only move them up and down. I don't know how to explain it but it's not at all the same.

Andrew you are very smart and creative! I am from Brazil... You are helping me a lot! Thanks for everything. Today I was watching one video clip called "That is my name" of Akcent. I saw what time remapping can do! Of course it´s not simple but it´s a possibility!

Great stuff Andrew.....as usual! Just as a couple of other people have posted, my rendered out comp is jumpy and jittery during the stretched bits, even though Frame Blend is turned on. What gives? My source file is at 24 fps and I'm using AE CS3. Thanks again!

hey andrew i love your tutorial...have seen almost everyone. i watched this one and i now know how to use the time remap, but i was wondering how you created the colors to look like "300"?

i was trying to use the Frame Blending switch used to "interpolate" the frames, but the switch isn't available for me to use. where there should be a box that i can click on to use the Frame Blending, there isn't. im not sure what i need to do to enable the switch.

my question is how long have you been using after effect.
did you have some schooling that helped you become so creative.

I've tried this, but when I right clock on the timeline to add the Time Remap, there is nothing there. Is it because I'm using After Effects 6.5?

Hey guys,
This video on speed variation seems to be down at the moment. If you could get it back up, it would be of great help to me as I'm in the middle of a case that needs an effect like this.
Thanks!

Thank you for making this tutorial! I've been looking around for a tutorial like this for about 3 months now. But hopefully you'll be able to answer this one question: for doing effects like this, and like in 300 what frame rate would you recommend recording in? And how much will the quality of your capture card affect the quality of the slowed down and sped up scenes? If you have a recommendation it'd be great if you'd tell me what one you use, and what might be just as good. Thanks, Kevin (WA)

I have used Timewarp at 50% a few times and what I've learned is that if you change the interpretation of the original clip to loop "2" times the footage can then be dragged out with one simple step.

Good tutorial, one thing I want to point out though is you don't need to precomp your footage in order to use Timewrap. A better and easier way is add the effect on an adjustment layer on top of the footage. OR add the effect to a normal solid and use the footage as "wrap layer" for the effect.

speeding up before the trick, then making it crazily slow during it, then fast after.
Creates an excellant effect.

Thanks a lot, friend. Your tutorials are really helpfull for me. Here in Argentina, we would say "Le ponés onda a los tutoriales". Something like "You give a cool style to the tutorials".
Why don't you put this proyect to download? I knew about the speed variation, but I like the color corrections you applied to the movie. I want to learn about it.
A hug.

Hey, awesome tutorial. But when i slow up my footage, it gets really really jumpy. It is almost as if I'm using the wiggle function on it. Even though i do the frame blending or pixel motion, it doesn't help the jumpiness at all
