Ahh ok solved it, just hat to reset to 100% then set to 50% and it worked hmmm..not sure why it did that in the first place tho.

Good question, but I have no answer.

Perhaps the frame rate has something to do with how the additional fractions wind up tagged onto a speed change.

I suspect it's just that EDIUS (currently) forgets to hide the absolute value of percentage. Consider that in a division equation, frames cannot be a fraction - they must be a whole value.

Although you request 50%, in the background, you may actually be getting 50.04% because the number of frames has to be rounded up or down. The GUI merely hides the additional .04% from your value...or at least, that's probably what it should be doing.

Of course, if you choose instead to do a fit-to-fill on a time-based value, EDIUS wouldn't need to worry about hiding percentage fractions, because the user is probably expecting the result to include additional fractions of a percent.
