After changing a travel shot’s speed, replay the ending of the film. The slower moment may work well on its own while moving a closing title or changing where the music ends. Decide whether the edit should grow or whether the later shots need to stay in place before choosing the retiming operation.
Keep an unchanged sequence to compare. Note the picture, spoken phrase or musical event that should coincide with the closing card. If only a short passage needs a new pace, isolate that passage so the rest of the shot is not changed unintentionally.
Choose what happens to the surrounding edit
In the documented Lightworks 2026.1 workflow, the quick Speed presets resize the clip and ripple later material. This explanation of speed, duration and the Resize options shows how the Custom panel offers a different decision about the clip’s timeline space and its anchored frame.
Preserving a slot does not establish that the same source frames remain visible. Check both ends of the retimed passage, its joins and any black gap. Listen to the associated sound instead of assuming that a better-looking slow moment also leaves the audio right.
Review the ending as a sequence
Start before the changed passage and watch through the final picture. Read the closing card at normal playback speed. Check the music, original camera sound and narration that should still be audible there. If a previously shared timestamp has moved, update that reference too.
For another control question, the editing and export sections at Lightworks Guide for shaping a finished sequence help you find the relevant operation. Then inspect the saved movie. The useful result is an ending whose picture and sound finish where you intended, rather than a speed percentage that happens to look right in the panel.
