Controlling speed
- [Instructor] Now let's address the duration issue with these embedded animations. We've got a straightforward situation with the elephant model and the more complex challenge with the eagle. Starting with the elephant in the room, um, I'm sorry, under the bridge, we have a nine second animation in a ten second comp. The simplest solution is to stretch the clip to match that comp length. There are a few ways to approach this. You can use the time remapping and adjust key frames, which is perfect if you want to tweak the playback speed dynamically. And since these are 3D files rather than video footage, stretching the key frames will result in a smooth natural interpolation. So feel free to experiment with some extreme slow motion effects. However, in this case, we don't need to over complicate things. The best approach here is to simply hold down option on the Mac, alt on Windows and drag the end of the clip to extend it to the full 10 seconds length. This way, the animation will…
