Re: [Avid-L2] Fluidmotion Edit very iffy with box shape?

As long as the lwr 3rd has no transparency, I'd use 2 layers...

On the top layer crop to your lwr 3rd, and let it remain the source speed.
Just edit it back in to extend the time as needed. Then use the motion
effect on the bottom layer to extend the time.
