Easy Slow-Mo - Animate Scene Speed

by Alex Quill in Addons



 


All your motion, one slider

Ever wanted to keyframe the entire scene speed?
Now you can! 

 


Effortlessly sync animations with simulations

You no longer need to cut, slow down or do anything with NLA tracks.
Keyframe one slider the way you want and let the addon do the rest.


Speed Sculpting

Now you can use complex F-Curve shapes to achieve the exact slow-mo effect you want. Best part? You'll get perfect speed sync between all scene elements, no matter how diverse they are.


Supported Scene Elements

Let's put this straght: it's impossible to directly keyframe the scene speed value in Blender. Instead, this addon uses a host of calculations, drivers and other tricks to simulate this missing Blender feature. So far, it works for the following scene items:

 Object and armature animations

 Fluid, fire and smoke simulations

 Particle systems

 Soft body simulations

 Rigid body sims

  Cloth sims

 Animated materials and textures*

 Dynamic paint

 Geo nodes*

 Any animations driven by '#frame'

(*) As long as the animation is either driven by an action, a #frame driver or a 'Scene Time' node


How it works

Step 1. The addon lists all the simulations and animations in your scene

Step 2. You choose which simulations and actions to affect

Step 3. You keyframe the global speed how you want using the timeline, dope sheet and/or curve editor




What are the Pros?


Less keyframes, more control

Control as many moving elements as you want. Easily achieve perfect sync between all of them.


Non-destructive workflow

All your simulation settings, objects and keyframes are preserved; Everything is easily reversable at any needed point



Easy to sync with audio

The addon does not change keyframe playback speed; Slap an audio track on the timeline and sync them up in a heartbeat; Ditch complex calculations and control the exact duration of every slow-mo part


Slow Down... or Speed Up!

Speed your scene up to achieve even more impact in your animations!



User-friendly interface

The addon is very easy to pickup; Everything is clear and concise;

All the buttons have exhaustive tooltip descriptions; You're guided through the entire process



Easy to use

Tired of manually updating simulations after every change to the speed? Tired of visiting the curves tab, finding and keyframing different timestepscutting NLA strips, then managing the whole mess? We've got the solution!

 


Multi-Scene Support

All of the features work for as many scenes as you want, each with its separate controls (which you can sync up by assigning the same action to all Scene Speed sliders, if needed)



Full Slow-Mo Toolkit

Our addon comes fully-equipped and ready for production. Here are some of the key functions it includes:

- Full scene scanner: instantly get and manage a list of all slow-movable elements in your scene

- Selective slow-mo: choose which simulations and actions to affect

- Auto-recalculator: when checked, it displaces the start and end times of your simulations to reflect the scene speed changes; Really useful to sync up things like punches with splashes, hits with glass shatter, explosions with embers, etc.

- Base Speed sliders: lets you adjust the base speed multiplier for each sim individually

- Slow-Mo Slider: and finally, the addon uses over 1.300 lines of code to bring you centralized control over all the motion in the scene; keyframe the slider to shape your project the way you want
