Time-remapping distorts time for range of frames within clip.
Note: It is best to apply time remapping controls to a clip in its own video track, or at least one not followed immedi-
ately by other clips. Slowing any portion of a clip will make the duration of that clip longer. If a second clip immediately
follows the lengthened clip in the video track, the lengthened clip will be automatically trimmed where the second clip
begins. To recover the frames trimmed from the lengthened clip, click the Track Select tool, then Shift-drag the second
clip (this will drag all clips lying to the right) toward the right to make room. Click the Selection Tool, then drag the
right edge of the lengthened clip to the right, exposing its trimmed frames.

1 In the Timeline panel, click on the Clip Effect menu and choose Time Remapping > Speed. (The Clip Effect menu
appears next to the filename of every clip in a video track. You might have to zoom in to make enough room in the
clip to display it.)
A horizontal rubberband that controls the speed of the clip appears across the center of the clip. The clip is shaded
in contrasting colors above and below the 100% speed demarcation. A white speed-control track appears in the
upper portion of the clip, just below the clip title bar.
Choosing Time Remapping > Speed from a video effect control
2 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) at least one point on the rubberband to set a keyframe. Speed
keyframes appear near the top of the clip, above the rubberband in the white speed-control track. Speed keyframes
can be split in half, acting as two keyframes for marking the beginning and end of a speed-change transition.
Adjustment handles also appear on the rubberband, in the middle of the speed-change transition.
Moving a speed keyframe up or down. Note its separable halves.
