Question

Cannot change speed/duration of animated stills videoclips!

Hi.

I built up an animation containing several layers of animated elements in my video timeline - only to realize that the animation's overall duration is way toot long.

It looks like there is no way to select all the video tracks and stretch the duration of their clips simultaneously. To make things worse, one cannot even change one clips Speed/Duration - this option only seems to be available for real video clips! So, does this mean that I will have to select and stretch the keyframes for every individual track, hoping that they will stay in sync with one a another.

The only way around this is probably to export the whole animation first as uncompressed video - then re-import it to the timeline again and then change it, but I'm sure all will agree this would be an unproductive way of doing it.

It is almost unthinkable that there is no easier way to do this.

    To me it seems you mix up terminology in such a way that I cannot say for sure whether you are talking about Frame Animation or Video Timeline.

    Posting a meaningful screenshot might have clarified that right away.

    O, I thought it would be clear by referring to the "video timeline" instead of "frame animation".

    It is the video sequence timeline indeed - here is an attachment.

    Nope - looks like the only way is to export the video and re-import again.


    One more option might be the Frame Animation conversion, then using a Script to remove every x-th frame.

    Though creating the Script would likely be more work than your originally described workaround.
