So place the Set Speed behavior where you want the speed change to start. You can either slide this in the main or mini timeline or simply hit the 'I' key for an inpoint when you have it selected. OK, play your timeline and watch that speed change take place- How easy was that?

As I said earlier, other retiming behaviors work too using exactly the same technique. I haven't tested them all as this is pretty new news so please post any amazing findings you might come across.

Here is the PROJECT

So lets take one last look at that movie comparison:-



Have fun!

Such a big help! I read this tutorial earlier and it was only days later that I was asked to retime some particle emitters. Thankfully I knew the solutions right away. smilies/wink.gif

clone layer
written by zak peric on July 18, 2008

good tutorial. I new this can be done by using drag behavior, but having to use clone layer makes it easier. Only one problem, clone layer can not be 3d.
Never the less this is a great tutorial, I can see so many different uses to this one. by the way if you go to www.embryo.me.uk see my sparkling globe 10 second animation. this was done by using a drag behavior.
