Adobe makes it a little more difficult than that. This is not very intuitive, since you may expect there to be a button to reset your preferences, in the actual preferences menu. While After Effects is starting up, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS), and your preferences will be reset. Resetting preferences is easy, but will require good timing. But there are so many different settings to adjust, that setting everything back to normal may just be the easiest. If something has gone wrong, the After Effects preferences is one of the first places you can look for issues. This will most likely be for troubleshooting. For a variety of reasons, you may find yourself in need of resetting these preferences back to the original. Just remember, the more gradual or smooth you can get the transition and distance between the keyframes, the more pleasing the footage will look in your final product.So you’ve adjusted all of your preferences to be exactly what you need. Simply play with the rubber band, bending and dragging it out as long as you’d like. From here, you can smooth the transition from fast to slow. This will take those parts of the clip back up to normal speed. Then, move the two outside sections of the clip up to 400%. Because the clip is already slowed down, mark the middle section as you did before. This will allow you to play with the speed however you’d like. Now you’ll see a straight rubber band across the middle of your clip. Click Show Clip Keyframes>Time Remapping>Speed. Mark the clip for the section you’d like slowed down, then right click on the clip. Let’s say you want to speed the clip you just slowed down back to normal speed, before dipping into slow motion. It’ll play at the lowest speed it can without dropping frames and becoming choppy. Now your clip should fit into a 24p sequence. Once the setting box opens, click “Frame Rate” and choose “Assume this Frame Rate”. To do this, right-click on the clip in the Project window, hit Modify>Interpret Footage. So, here’s another viable option for altering the pace of a clip. The “Duration” option does just that, by changing the duration of the clip. However, make sure you’re reducing the speed according to what frame rate it was shot at. If you want to slow down a clip, adjust the speed by percentages.
But all you need to know is this is a very basic way of playing with the speed of your clip. Right-click on your clip (pick a stock video clip here if you don’t have one), hit “Speed and Duration,” and from here you’ll see options to adjust the clips speed and duration.
We’ll start with the first and most basic way of changing the speed. Communication is the key to making a good video. If you’re collecting footage from the shooters, make sure they know what type of edit you’ll want to do. If you’re out in the field shooting, make sure you’re capturing the action at 60p or higher. Shooting or working with 24p footage won’t work. It goes without saying that if you want a smooth, slow motion shot, you need to shoot the footage at the appropriate frame rate.
