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. $\endgroup$

You can use the Time Remapping. Since 2.8, go into Properties > Output > Dimensions > Time Remapping. Previously in Properties > Render > Dimensions:

enter image description here

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.

enter image description here

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.

    $\begingroup$ @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. $\endgroup$
