Using the Action Editor and in Pose Mode, I am editing the animation of my armature at 30 FPS. Maintaining that framerate, I would like a slower preview of my animation (like play at 50% normal speed) in the Timeline when I press Alt+A. Is this possible? How can I achieve this?

$\begingroup$ I would argue that this is not a duplicate question. I saw that question before posting this and as I understand it, that question resolves the issue of playback at a lower framerate. I would like to know if it's possible to have a playback at a lower speed, as if time is slowed down. $\endgroup$– brain56Nov 19, 2015 at 4:07

You can use the Time Remapping. Since 2.8, go into Properties > Output > Dimensions > Time Remapping. Previously in Properties > Render > Dimensions:
It expresses the animation speed as a ratio of original speed / new speed
, where the speed is expressed in frames. So to reduce the speed 50%, you can use 50/100
, 1/2
, 100/200
or any other ratio which reduces to 1/2
, i.e. 1 frame for every 2 frames
.
Note that while frames are used as the units, this setting will interpolate animations on subframes. Not all features support this, see Which animation features don't support sub-frames? for details.

2$\begingroup$ @AndréSantos No. You'll have to adjust the pitch accordingly (put in the time remapping values as
old/new
). If you want to change the tempo without affecting the pitch, then you'll have to do it in something like audacity. $\endgroup$– gandalf3 ♦May 7, 2017 at 7:04
