Preserve pitch in retimed clips in Final Cut Pro for Mac
By default, Final Cut Pro preserves pitch when retiming clips so that the pitch doesn’t sound higher when the clip is faster or lower when the clip is slower. You can turn this feature on or off before or after a clip has been retimed.
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select an entire clip, or a range within a clip, whose speed has been changed.
Click the Retime pop-up menu below the viewer and choose Preserve Pitch.
A checkmark to the left of the command name indicates that Preserve Pitch is turned on. To turn it off, choose Preserve Pitch again.
