# Creating Constant Speed Timewarps from the Timeline

When creating constant speed timewarps from the record or BFX timeline, you select a timeline element and then apply a timewarp to it.

Note When timewarping a virtual source, there is no limit to how long a source can be.

To create a constant timewarp from the timeline:

1. Select the timeline element you want to timewarp.
2. Do one of the following:
   - Click the Timewarp soft effect button (or press Alt+5 or Home from the EditDesk record timeline) and then enter the speed for the timewarp in the Speed field.
     NoteYou can change the default timewarp speed from the Module / Soft FX section of the Preferences menu. The Home key is affected by the last or default speed preference.
   - Enter a speed value in the numeric keypad and then enable the Timewarp soft effect button (or press Alt+5 or Home from the EditDesk record timeline).
3. Adjust the timewarp parameters using the Timewarp quick menu.
