To scale a clip from the Trax Editor

1. Drag the lower corner clip hotspots to scale clips.

The Scale mouse pointer appears when you are scaling clips. See also Clip interaction controls.

When you reduce (<100% of the original clip length) or scale down a clip, you are actually compressing the animation on the clip, so that the resulting animation appears faster or sped up.

When you scale (>100% original clip length) up a clip, you are actually extending the animation on the clip, so that the resulting animation appears to be slower.

To scale multiple clips at a time

1. You can select multiple clips ( -click) in one or more characters and scale them all at once using the scale handles of the clip manipulator.
