Q: How can I slow down a video that was recorded too fast as well as the audio so it sounds at normal speed?

Hello,

 

So I recorded about 40 film slides without realizing that the speed needed adjustment on the projector. So the audio sounds pretty fast. I was wondering how I can slow it down a tad without making it sound too slow? I tried to adjust it in FCP with the retiming deal but it make it too slow and still made the audio sound like chipmunks. I want to adjust the audio to where it sounds normal. I could take it out of the video and adjust it in audacity but I don't want to do that because then it will take me forever to align it back to the clip in FCP and even then it may not work right. I attached a small clip for y'all to see what I need help with.

    If, from the Retiming dropdown menu, you uncheck Preserve Pitch, you should lose the chipmunk effect.

    Ok so that worked. Thank you! Now how do I export multiple clips that are in my timeline instead of loading each one by one and exporting them manually. Basically, I have 40 clips that I need to fix the pitch and then I need to export them back into 40 clips. So how can I do that without exporting them all as one clip and without having to do one by one?

    I don't know. There is an inexpensive  app called Clip Exporter, but I don't believe it supports re-timed clips. Perhaps someone else can help.
