Video Speed Adjustments

It doesn't seem to be working as it should at the moment.
You need to Tick the Box 'Speed Keyframes' to be able to add them. This then disables the Speed Adjustment box.

In previous Beta's (7 & 😎 I could add the keyframes at the Start to slow down, or Hold, the video.

But as the Green bar does not change in duration to match the new Video time, it was difficult to add the Keyframes at the end in the right place once the Speed had been adjusted.

Now in Beta 9 I am really struggling to get the Keyframes at the Start. I can add them, but when moving one to a Zero Speed it seems to move the Start Position of the Video.

Jill, I agree, something wrong with changing/adding first keyframe and scale of the timeline. 
Please wait, we'll improve the code.

Dave,

Ealier, slide duration never changed automatically when the duration of a video object changed. Because a slide may contain other objects with their own durations.
The only case when a slide duration automatically updates is when replacing a video object file name throught the Open file window, if its duration matched the slide duration.

You need to tick an option "Speed keyframes" before adding any speed keypoints in the timeline.

Thanks Igor, I found the "Speed Keyframes".

I wondered if there was a case for changing the video duration if the video was a Main Object??

May be a moot point for me now since I figures out a way within Google Earth Tour Maker to sort of accomplish what I was trying to do.  Still I find the Trim & Adjust subwindow operations within the O&A window to be somewhat inscrutable, or at least the results are.

We'll publish Beta 10 with significant improvements for this editor tomorrow.

Try new Beta 10.

We fixed all known issues with speed keyframes and included other improvements:

Hi Igor, Thanks for the new Beta.

However I am still having problems, please see email with a description.

Hi Jill,
Thank you for checking the new Beta 10! I've replied you by email.

We'll try to improve this editor to make it easier for you to determine the final video playback time.
Currently, editing focuses on working with the original video's timing.

I am still stumped with the Trim and Adjust property feature with a video.  I have a video clip that is about 38 seconds long.  I add it as a slide and then add it as another slide right next to the first just to play around.  On the second slide I go to the Properties and choose Trim and Adjust Speed and move the start and end points and it shows doing so changed the duration to about 23 seconds.  HOWEVER when I go back to the main screen the duration shows the same on both slides and then when playing the second slide which I thought I reduced to 23 seconds it still shows the 38 second duration and it plays for 38 seconds although the last 14 seconds or so is just really a freeze frame.  

What am I misunderstanding or doing wrong since it seems that the Trim is not really having the desired effect?

When you trim a video, the clip duration changes, but the slide duration remains unchanged.
