Hi, I'm making a video and the song I am using - Feeling A Moment - has some parts in it which are fast and jumpy, and I want to be able to speed up my clip so it is quicker, and put lots of small clips like this together for one part of the song, with fast video transitions. Does anyone know how to do this??
If this is confusing just ask me to explain again and I'll try to make it easier )
Thanks!

I'd try to help you but I always had the same jumpy problems with my sped up clips in my WMM days

Heya Janie! A couple of questions for you: are you're looking to match the fast and jumpy parts of your song with some quick cuts (short clips)? Or are you looking to run the speed of the clips themselves faster? Or are you looking for a combination of the two? Or do you want the clips to look jumpy? Or are they looking jumpy and you want them to not look jumpy? And what sort of transitions are you looking for?

Sorry for all the questions!

Heya Janie! Hopefully this is what you're looking for!

To just make the clips go faster, use the Speed Up, Double effect. You can either drag the Speed Up, Double effect out of the Video Effects area down onto your clip or you can right-click the clip you want to speed up and click Video Effects, then scroll down to Speed Up, Double, click Add, then OK. You can add that effect onto the same clip more than once but unless it's a really long clip, then just speeding it up once is usually enough.

To quick cut clips, just trim the length of your clips to about a second or so long and you'll get a quick "rolling flash" of images. You can of course, put the Speed Up, Double effect on a short clip but it'll go by so fast it'll be hard to see it unless the clip is a little longer than that.

I hope that makes sense!
