A smooth change in playback speed within a shot, like easing into slow motion.
A speed ramp gradually changes the playback speed of a clip — for example easing from normal speed into slow motion and back. Clean slow motion requires footage shot at a high frame rate. Speed ramps add drama and energy and are popular in music videos, montages and gaming edits.
Speed ramping is the craft of smoothly accelerating and decelerating playback to amplify impact, emotion, and rhythm in any edit.
Frame rate is one of the most fundamental settings on any camera — and choosing the wrong one can kill the look you're going for before you've made a single cut.
