Are you looking for an effortless way to give a unique cinematic effect? Speed ramping is an approach to adjust the clip speed to send the message across and give the audience an element of suspense.
It's an approach that can be used to increase or decrease the speed of a video clip. Filmora has a masking transition which makes it easy for the user to speed ramp their videos.
This is useful for creating a smooth transition between two clips. It can also be used for adding attention to a particular moment in a clip.
The super-speed video effects develop the required pace of the film. To create a cinematic effect by speed ramping. Before editing installs Filmora. Once it is installed it'll start and run automatically. First of all, make sure that you have updated your Filmora software to the latest version, which is version 11.
The latest version, which is 11, is very important because in this version you have the speed ramping feature. One more thing that is necessary for speed ramping is that the footage must be more than 50 FPS (frame per second). So footage less than 50 fps (frames per second) will not be considered.
The term "frame rate" refers to the number of frames that are displayed per second. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video will appear.
You can check your video's fps (frame per second) by importing it into the Filmora. Then right-click on it, select Properties, and here's the frame rate information for your footage.
The frame rate of a video can impact the quality of the video, but it is not only a factor. Other factors such as resolution, bit rate, and Codec can also affect video quality.
Drag your video to the timeline. Keep the timeline to 25 or 30 fps (frame per second ). Double-click on the video goes to the speed tab, then the speed ramping category. So we can see here are some presets you have to choose for the montage.
Now let us try the second one, which is named hero moment. If you want to create your custom speed ramping effect. Just click on customize option here. Drag these points up to increase speed.
If you keep the points on the middle line, there will be no change in speed. If you want to create new points, just click on this plus icon, and now just keep adjusting the speed as per your liking.
Let us say if you want to add a freeze effect then just click on this snow icon here and then adjust the time of the freeze effect. But if you want to change the freeze time later, you can change it by double-clicking on the square-shaped point.
