Change the Speed of a Video Clip

Slow-motion or fast-motion effects can grab your audience’s

attention as well as break up the rhythm of a movie.

Note: Video clips can be located in either the Video or PiP

track.

To change the speed of a video clip, do this:

1. Select the clip you want to modify.

2. Click Speed. The speed option panel opens.

3. Set the new speed (between .5x and 2x). You may do this in

one of two ways:

• Drag the slider to increase or decrease the speed.

• Enter a timecode in the New video length box. (This

method allows more accurate control, as you can specify

a length down to the frame level.)

4. Click to close the option panel.
