Aligning High Speed Video Clips

[rosy]

We're on the second part of assembling our Trekido Trike show. Some of the video clips are quite lengthy so we've speeded them up 500 to 600 %. When adding a second clip to the sequence we drag the new clip left until we reach the last frame of the previous clip, which is a bit hit & miss. I know we are missing an easy way to do this, can anyone explain how they do it?

Don't seem to be getting any answers to my speed query. Maybe a further explanation will create a response? We are producing a show with long video sequences. We want to show all the action but keep the file size & time taken low. What we do is trim the clip to get the piece we want, then speed it up to reduce the time on screen, similar to time lapse. To do this, after trimming the clip, take it back into O&A  click the adjust time range tab, which opens the trim video screen, the default speed is set at 100, to speed this up we change the setting to 500 or 600 which we assume increases to speed 5 or 6 times. We assume this is done in the software by cutting out a number of frames. Having done the first clip & moving on to the 2nd  clip & adding it to the sequence, the final frame extends to the time of the original clip before speeding it up. To make the 2 clips flow, you have to drag the second clipto the left in the timeline view until it reaches the start of the last frame of the first clip. I'm sure there is a more accurate method of doing this, but can't think how.

when you have adjusted the speed, you will see the new Length for the Clip in the Adjust Time Panel.

Make a note of this time & then in Slide View type that time in for the slide.
This will then adjust the length to exactly the time of the speeded up video

You can then drag your next video into Slide View & it will line up with the end of the previous video.
Repeat for each clip

So do everything in Slide View NOT Timeline View

Thanks Jill, we'll give that a try. Just been in the garage to film a bit more but it's too cold so we only took a couple of stills pumping the tires up.

Thanks Rosy.
