Speed Ramping: What you're doing wrong.

[@JesseDriftwood]

While waiting for this video to upload youtube told me to watch a video Daniel Schiffer made about Speed ramping almost 2 years ago. It has almost all the same info, but is half as long and twice as good. He's also significantly better on a skateboard. Might as well pin this comment lol.

[@OmarHamati]

JesseDriftwood great video!

[@mr_shultz]

JesseDriftwood Yes! Yes! I just got home from a 15 hour Indian wedding. Everyone is asleep in my house and I’m watching this with headphones. Thanks for making this! I look forward to them.

[@MattAzzarello]

Ah Dan is so sick! He's actually a crazy good teacher! Love the video though Jesse, I use premiere but still lots to take away from the vid!

[@derrekord]

haha! But we LIKE YOU TOO. Sometimes we just want to spend time with our internet editing bud.

[@JayneNicoletti]

Wait. You use FCP??? I thought it was just us old ladies (and DS of course).

[@ZachDriftwood]

Wish I could speed ramp through the day we shot this so I could slow it down and find my wallet.

[@JesseDriftwood]

I wish the same so I could get my wallet back from you.

[@SabexTiger]

Lost your wallet while shooting

[@tylermorgan4344]

Got y’all premiere pro users just right click your clips and select “enable time remapping” then make your clip taller till you see the line, and you can raise and lower that line to give more or less speed, hitting “p” will enable to pen tool and wit this you can add key frames where you want the amount of speed to change 🤙 Clicking & gragging a keyframe will split it in half and let you ease your speed for a smoother speed ramp!

[@rodanus7112]

Thanks bro!

[@tylermorgan4344]

BEACH BUM BO It’s on my channel!

[@KnifeModders]

Thank you!

[@joelhypponen]

Nothing sounds more buttery and nostalgic than a good slomo feeble!!! Loved this Jesse!

[@JesseDriftwood]

Soooo nostalgic!

[@LookitsTook]

Jessie i love your content, Please make more, ive rewatched all your videos too much.

[@CorbanLaFon]

John Hill does that speed ramping to hit tricks on the beat all the time. I love it.

[@kccstar]

I've been editing on FCPX for 5 years and I had no idea I could adjust the start and end frame. THANK YOU!!!!

[@JesseDriftwood]

Thats the thing most people are commenting that they didn't know! It is SO helpful!

[@anthonynelson1699]

Jesse, you look overwhelmingly excited about being on that board. Even with all the falls. Super cool to see you on one again!

[@FacundoDCorzo]

I like so much the way you explain things bro, so funny and entertaining!

[@eddiejaoude]

Great advice and examples, thank you 👍

[@Christinamychas]

Also, couuuuuuud you do a tutorial on how you do you do voice audio + sound design? Always crispy.

[@OninCelestino]

Thumbs up 👍 this speed ramping tutorial is 🔥 Now I’ll practice speed ramping disney animated movies ..

[@NoraSvet]

Best video entrance ever😄👍

[@MortarMike]

No, no no! **Wags finger**. You MUST teach us how you hid that mic to capture your audio lol. That hallway shot at 1:27 had great audio for skateboarding down a hallway. Oh yeah, the rest of the video is awesome lol, no shade at all. Also, finally someone who did a really awesome job of fully focusing on Speed Ramping. A lot of youtubers have done a great job explaining, but the in-depth detail you dug into for this video makes a world of a difference in me "getting it." Oh, the Frozen 2 Travel Edit was HILARIOUS bro! Thanks again for making this vid.

[@JesseDriftwood]

I can’t remember exactly how I hid the lav mic in that shot (sometimes I tape it to my chest, sometimes I use a vampire clip to the inside of my shirt) I still haven’t found my ideal way of hiding it BUT I was also surprised at just how well the audio came out considering I was on a skateboard!

[@CaseyGray58]

Dude that frozen 2 remix was fire af

[@dunnadidit]

* Boom Pah Boom To The BEAT * 8:41

[@JesseDriftwood]

I meant to add drum sounds there but it was late oops!

[@dunnadidit]

JesseDriftwood - it felt more “you” this way for sure.

[@machajohn]

LOOOL that Frozen 2 trailer stylized with speed ramping

[@andrewma9975]

2 years in final cut really confused me! 😂 After one year of struggling, you just saved me with this masterclass video! I should’ve found this video one year ago!

[@AlliandWill]

That kicker is so weird to skate, how are you popping off of it so high?! Also, the stock clip with the dog and the person in rubber boots, that's Alli's legs hahah

[@JesseDriftwood]

Alli and Will Hahaha is it really?! That’s amazing! Also if the weather gets better at some point let’s go for a skate!

[@AlliandWill]

@@JesseDriftwood Let's do it! Or the Loft, I've been skating there the last few Thursdays in the day before they open and its been fun

[@JesseDriftwood]

Alli and Will that’d be a blast! There’s also a small chance we may end up building something indoor at some point 🤫

[@AlliandWill]

@@JesseDriftwood Oh man! Even just flat ground in an indoor spot would be sweet to skate during winter in this city

[@DuncanSmith]

I really want a Frozen 2 travel video 😂

[@NEWBREEDFILMS]

Thank you for sharing!!!!!! I'm looking to mess with more speed ramping!!!

[@finnagainandagain]

If the frozen 2 trailer was like a travel edit part had me in tears 😂

[@GonzaloB69]

0:10 I would love to see a tutorial of THAT. It looks amazing

[@PatBurnz]

loved the skating! more of that 🤟🏼

[@breeandstephen9321]

dude you’re a badasssssss! been loving your IG story course- your info has been game changer. appreciate you 🤘🏼

[@dannyderrick]

This really makes me want to switch to Final Cut. Speed ramping in Premiere is no where near this user-friendly. Another awesome tutorial!

[@michaeldatuin15]

Speed ramp frozen? SUBBED

[@StudioMograph]

bin using fcpx for how long and never knew how to speed ramp correctly? Shift+N ftw! 🙌🏻

[@MKBontwikkeling]

The ending was perfect 👌🏼👍🏼

[@nicorempel6014]

Love the video dude! And THE SKATEBOARDING!!! Yeees dude! I love it! Saw you with Shaun the other day on his Snapchat! So cool to see you with friends of mine!

[@JesseDriftwood]

Aye! Shaun is a real good dude!

[@Iamshaffer]

just wanted to say you're a beast. this video was so dope and informative, appreciate it

[@AmritaBhortake]

Jesse, thanks so much for this video! I was struggling with the timing and placement of speed ramps after taking your course with moment. You make it look so darn easy. My edit looks so choppy that might as well take the speed ramps out. Lol 😂

[@scootydub]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@nasenrabe]

servus jesse. greetings from vienna / austria. thank you so much for your inspiration and your help.

[@ArmandoN]

ok...the frozen travel edit got you a new subscriber lol

[@travel9to5]

seems much easier in Final Cut to be honest.. another useful video

[@Christinamychas]

The Elsa travel vlog really sealed the deal for me ❄️

[@benjones5799]

lol... frozen travel edit... So true

[@der.turbanator]

thanks a lot for a great tutorial. can you also make on sound effects and using them

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

I know that Toque anywhere. Zach Driftwood, I miss you. Jesse Driftwood, I miss you. Let's hang in February. In HamOnt.

[@digitalcyclopsvideoproduct867]

Hahaha loved the ending!!!

[@danielgarcia7447]

Good vid! Finally a creator that’s not cheesy lol nice info on the speed ramping I thk you nailed it w the “ practice practice practice “ I hv FCP but just don’t use it enough lol Not sure if you have a vid on how to work faster or your workflow when you’re editing in FCP Thxs again

[@JesseDriftwood]

Haha thank you!

[@MattEllis4]

Havent been to Turner in a longggggggggg time. Solid vid brotha

[@JesseDriftwood]

It’s a weird parka but surprisingly fun.

[@Featherlightstudio]

While shooting most things at 60fps, what does your project Frame Rate in FCPX end up being then? Love the Frozen Clip!! lol

[@JesseDriftwood]

I always edit a 24fps timeline!

Great video!! We will have to hit the skate park some time.

[@andrejames9066]

My first step. Thanks

[@SpencerFitzgeraldProductions]

Somehow I didn’t realize you could skate like that !

[@NeikoNation]

It's so cool to see another Hamilton creator! You literally filmed that down the street from my old house lol

Great video. very helpful.

[@benjaminwhatever]

Love this dude! Awesome tips and so damn gooood to hear

[@ChefJoeSasto]

Probably longer than it needed to be, but I really enjoyed the whole thing nonetheless - thanks!

[@MattJacques]

5:12 for the start of hands-on in FCPX (not that any Jesse content needs to be skipped - 💯 epic intro!). Excellent tutorial... just to be clear, grabbing the section's handles and dragging them in/out is what controls the actual ramping part of speed ramping, right? Is there a way to control the curve, or is the transition always linear across the duration of the 'handle'?

[@JesseDriftwood]

It isn’t exactly clear what the curve is that fcpx uses (it isn’t linear, some sort of ease) but all you can adjust for now is how long that curve takes rather than the shape of it. I’d love more fine tuned control (like what you can do in premiere) in the future.

[@MattJacques]

@@JesseDriftwood Aha! Thanks for clarifying... I thought the curve was a bit more nuanced than pure linear, but would totally be awesome to be able to control it a bit more. I'm just getting the hang of FCPX, coming over from Resolve. 💯 loving the transition so far.

[@CristianRodriguezz]

Amazing brother you are a gem 💎

[@bill29456]

Hey Jesse: Quick question,\: I noticed you said you shooting at 60fps. So when played back your "normal watching" is actually in slow motion. Then you speed clips up to normal or fast. Ive tried to slow down footage filmed at 30 fps and i start dropping frames around 75% and it comes out choppy. So is my thought process ,correctly i hope, that every thing is slowed down and filmed slow by half. then speed up. What happens to the audio back at normal watching speeds of 30fps?

[@DylanKJohnson]

If I understand your question correctly, he has a 24fps timeline and when a 60fps clip is used the "extra frames" get dropped. However, when you want to slow down any footage you can only slow it down equal to what your timeline is before things get choppy. The chop comes from a lack of frames. In your example of a 30fps clip you can only slow it down to 80% before dropping frames. To find out the minimum speed you can make a clip just divide the frame rate of your timeline by the frame rate of the clip and you'll get the percentage you can slow that clip down (24/30=0.8 or 80%).

[@bill29456]

@@DylanKJohnson Thank you for your reply.

What is the name of the song called under the Frozen travel remake?

Im an alight motion user and it makes me sad when i spend days looking for ways i can speed ramp on this editor but theres just no ways to do it because theres no way for a smooth transition into speeds

hi why use final cut and no premiere? what is the difference? thx

[@gauravgosai]

Which gimbal is best for canon 200d in dji ronin sc budget ?

[@Shalaco]

I really tried FCPX, but the magnetic timeline just kills me. Is there anyway to keep it from bungling up the workflow?

[@JesseDriftwood]

You just have to figure it out! Once you get used to it it’s fantastic.

[@Shalaco]

@@JesseDriftwood I started on OG final cut, and have spent the last 3 months giving it a solid try. It still drives me crazy that I can't keep an audio track in the timeline without it being connected to a video track. Either I'm missing something, or it's just not for me.

This is great tutorial

[@LacrosseWorld]

Is a video considered art? Yes? Then there’s no way you’re doing it wrong. Would you like to use your tools in a way to help enhance the story you tell? Yes. Then you’ve provided some great tips! But no ones doing it “wrong” lol

[@JesseDriftwood]

I get what you’re saying, but if that’s the case I’m also not “wrong” to title a video this way, since I can call it art. BUT the point is there are lots of people who are making videos “wrong”. And by that I mean they aren’t achieving the look they want because they don’t know how to make it the way they want. If I wanted to make a painting purple, but didn’t realize what colours to mix in order to make it so, than my painting was done wrong if I mixed blue and yellow. Does that make sense?

[@julkur9]

That youtubelize frozen 2 trailer looks decent 😅
