When I re-time a clip that already has audio, with set speed. The audio of said clip does not change with the videos timing variations. It remains the unaltered and no longer matches the video.

I upload the clip into motion 5 and it consists of an mp4 file that already contains audio.

I move that track into the timeline and attach a re-timing to it with set speed.

I can then change the speed of the video but the audio does not react.

Am I meant to link the audio to the video through another method other than presuming it remains together when I uploaded it? Because the audio plays, just not with the speed variations.

Nothing that i've searched for has helped me thus far.

Thanks

Motion won't do anything to the audio, it only really will effect the video. If you want to retime both, FCPX is what you want. Also, especially for Motion, I'd convert that MP4 to ProRes before working with it. You'll get much better performance, and maintain much better image quality when it is re-encoded.

I thought it was a little odd though as you can re-time the clip through the properties menu of the clip and the audio links with it and slows down. I had jsut hoped the same would apply when I just tried using a smoother effect on it.

Thanks for your help anyway.
