Time Remap

Time Remap is a freeware filter designed for Final Cut Express HD v3.5 that provides a function, otherwise missing in FCE, that is similar to Time Remap built in Final Cut Pro. This filter allows you to keyframe the speed of the clip so the clip will play at different speeds in different timecodes, or to individually remap frames from the source media into the clip. The possibility to keyframe the filter controls is a basic requirement to make use of this filter.

A main difference between the FCP Time Remap function and this filter is that the filter presented here has Variable Speed control allowing you to keyframe different speeds at different clip timecodes, while FCP implements a kind of speed fade in and speed fade out by applying Bezier controls at the clip ends. In addition, the Position control in this filter allows to select frames by using their position as a percentage of the clip duration, in place of their exact frame number, as in FCP. On the other hand, the Time Remap - Frame n. control in this filter behaves very similarly to the Time Remap function provided by the Motion tab in FCP.
