Automated retime effect handling

Offspeed Footage Handled Automatically

Slow-motion and mixed-frame-rate workflows have one universal truth: retime work is incredibly easy to get wrong and astronomically time-consuming. Developing Tank automates your retime-oriented tasks, ensuring perfect accuracy every time.

Manual Retime vs. Automated

Without Developing Tank

  • Setting timewarp/speed effects by hand for 50+ clips
  • Hand-calculating frame-rate conversions (error-prone)
  • Re-doing setup when metadata changes
  • Verifying math on every single clip
  • Manual subclip organization for editorial

Result: 2–3 hours per dailies cycle, zero guarantee of accuracy.

With Developing Tank

  • Upload your Avid bin or AAF once
  • Retime effects applied automatically based on metadata
  • Subclips generated and organized instantly
  • Math is deterministic and verifiable
  • Frame rates locked to project specs

Result: 10 minutes. Perfect accuracy. Every time.

Assistant Editors

Eliminate take-by-take retime setup on every slow-motion clip. Your dailies prep drops from hours to minutes.

Picture Editors

Start cutting with ready-to-edit clips. No waiting weeks for retime setup on shots from yesterday's dailies.

Online Editors

Receive sequences with retimed subclips already separated. No hunting through bins for manually-created retime clips.

The automated process

Three Steps to Perfect Retimes

Upload your dailies in Avid bin or AAF format. Developing Tank automatically detects slow-motion materials, applies retime effects consistent with your project frame rate, and generates subclips ready for editorial. What once took hours of manual setup now takes minutes—with verifiable accuracy every time.

  • Detects offspeed clips from source metadata automatically
  • Applies correct Timewarp/Speed effects based on frame rates
  • Generates subclips matching your project specifications
  • Creates sequences of retimed subclips for easy syncing
  • Supports 24fps → 480fps, fast-motion, variable-speed ramps

Accurate conversions

Frame-rate math that's deterministic and verifiable, not hand-calculated and error-prone.

Organized subclips

Retime subclips are automatically separated and categorized for editorial workflow.

Multiple Cameras

Support multiple cameras by stacking all cameras in one sequence along with any external audio to be synced and grouped.
