How do I change clip duration, marker timing and pauses?

How do I change duration without losing the camera framing?

Set the clip duration in seconds. In Track Following, JJ uses the track and duration to calculate camera altitude, so a duration change can alter the view as well as the pace.

1. Set the duration you need.
2. Play a recognisable section of the route and check the camera height.
3. If the longer clip now follows too many small bends, increase altitude or adjust the angle.
4. Recalculate the timeline and replay that section.

The walkthrough shows the camera moving closer to the track when duration increases. Do not keep adding time solely to fix a winding camera path; check altitude as well.

How do I show a marker before the route reaches it?

Points Appear sets the lead time for a marker relative to the animated track reaching that place.

1. First make the point visible in the clip.
2. Set Points Appear to the number of seconds of advance notice you want.
3. Move the playhead to just before the route reaches that point and play through the arrival.

• 2: the marker appears two seconds before the route reaches the point.
• 0: the marker appears when the route reaches the point.

If the marker still never appears, check its visibility. This setting schedules an enabled marker; changing the value does not show a point that is hidden. The Track Following walkthrough demonstrates these visibility and timing controls together.

How do I pause the track at a place?

Use breaking points to create stops and separate shots within a clip. When the animated track reaches a breaking point, it pauses and the corresponding shot is shown.

1. Set breaking points at the places where the route should pause.
2. Play through each approach, stop, and departure to check the sequence.
3. Export and check the completed clip.
4. If you need individual inserts for a larger video, cut the exported clip at those stops in your video editor.

Save the clip version after checking its duration, marker arrivals, and pauses together. That gives you a scenario you can return to when making later timing changes.

Breaking points divide the action inside a clip. They do not replace cutting the exported file into separate inserts in your video editor.
