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.

PLEASE HELP! Thank in advance.

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.
