Retiming the Sequence

To retime the sequence:

1.   By default, Kronos is set to perform a half-speed slow down. To adjust the slow down or to speed the sequence up, enter a new value for the Speed control. Values below 1 slow down the clip. Values above 1 speed up movement. The default value, 0.5, created the half-speed slow down. Quarter-speed would be 0.25.
2.   Alternatively, you can describe the retiming in terms of ‘at frame 100 in the output clip, I want to see frame 50 of the source clip‘. To do so, set Timing to Source Frame. Go to a frame in the timeline, and set Frame to the input frame you want to appear at that output position. You’ll need to set at least two key frames for this to retime the clip. For example, to slow down a 50 frame clip by half, you can set Frame to 1 at frame 1, and to 50 at frame 100. To do a four times slow down, set Frame to 1 at frame 1, and to 25 at frame 100.
3.   If you’d like to add motion blur to your retimed footage, proceed to Adding Motion Blur.

NOTE:  Input Range in the Kronos properties defines which frames are used for the retime. When you first create the node, the range is automatically set to the frame range of the Source clip. If you change the Source clip later, you need to click the Reset button to make sure Input Range matches the current input.
