Learn how you can vary the speed of the video portion of a clip and create slow and fast-motion effects within the same clip.

The playback speed of the video portion of the clip changes, and its duration expands or contracts depending on whether its speed is increased or decreased. The audio portion of the clip remains unchanged by Time Remapping, although it remains linked to the video portion.

When you lengthen a clip in a sequence by slowing its speed, it does not overwrite an adjacent clip. Instead, the clip expands until it touches the edge of the adjacent clip. Premiere Pro then pushes the remaining frames into the tail of the lengthened clip. To recover these frames, create a gap after the clip and trim its right edge to reveal them.

Before you begin

Launch Premiere Pro and create a new project. Import your selected media to the Timeline panel.

  1. Right-click on the clip you’d like to modify, and then select Show Clip Keyframes > Time Remapping > Speed.
  2. The clip is shaded blue. A horizontal rubber band that controls the speed of the clip appears across the center of the clip. A white speed-control track appears in the upper portion of the clip, just below the clip title bar. If it is hard to view the clip, zoom in to make enough room.
  1. Drag the rubber band upward or downward to increase or decrease the speed of the clip. A tool tip appears, showing the change in speed as a percentage of the original speed.

Result

The playback speed of the video portion of the clip changes, and its duration expands or contracts depending on whether its speed is increased or decreased.
