Retime your footage

Y

ou can enjoy using iMovie’s retiming tools to change the

speed of your video clips. This enables you to slow down

time and analyse an action (such as a running dog). You

can also speed up time and present an event in a new way (such

as creating a time-lapse style clip of speeding clouds or rushing

commuters). However, before retiming clips in iMovie it’s worth

setting up your iPhone to get smoother flowing footage. You can

also control the ebb and flow of time within a single clip so that

it starts playing in real-time, then fast forward to an interesting

moment before returning to normal speed and even freezing at

theend.Thisspeedrampingtechniqueis oftenusedin dramato
