Where it is
Clip › Pitch and Duration…
What you can do
- Turn on Realtime pitch and duration to keep the change adjustable: −12 to +12 semitones and 50–200 % length.
- Pitch 0 keeps the original pitch; twelve semitones is one octave. Duration 100 % keeps the length; 200 % doubles it, 50 % halves it.
- With realtime off, OmaAudio makes a processed copy: 25–400 % length, pitch kept (needs FFmpeg).
- Reset pitch / duration takes the clip back to the original.
- Later clips and markers stay where they are, so leave room before making a clip longer.
- With several whole clips selected, Apply to all selected clips changes them together, keeping their spacing.
