Slow down to a stop effect

[GrassValley_BH]

The easiest (though slowest) way is to upload an MPEG version to a site like YouTube or Vimeo. They'll have to recompress it for web viewing anyway. You may need to shorten the length as there's an upload filesize limit.

And I thought I was the only fully grown-up person around here.

G'day Brandon, I did a test from a very small section of a local TV show just to see if it works but the trouble is that I'm a 71 year old amateur who doesn't know how to put it up on this site. I'm happy to do it if you can help me.
Regards,
Don

Great! I'd love to see what you've done if it's something that can be viewed by others.

Copy the clip to a lower track, then Time Remap to "stretch" the tail-end to a longer time-period.

You'll have to fiddle a little (and put the original-speed cut clip above the Time Remap-ed version) to get the start of the slowdown to match up with the normal-speed section, but it's do-able.

Essentially you'll want to play increasing amounts of source (top) in larger time.

So your Time Remap keyframes might look like:

vvvvvvvvvv
*--------*-*-*-*-*-*
**--*---*----*-----*

You're time-compressing the beginning part of the clip (the v-ed part) to play within the first frame of the result. This is the part you want to cover with the normal-speed clip.

Hey Brandon, it was quite easy to simply cut the clip where I wanted it to slow and simply apply your formula to it - fantastic mate!

Good Old Speedcontrol did this. Still works on SD but probably not on HD.

Thanks Brandon, I'll try it later today after work.

Does anyone know if it's possible with video/audio footage to create the effect of slowing down to a stop such as might happen if a film projector loses power (or with a vinyl record on a turntable)?
