Use Speed Change to play a clip faster or slower than normal.
e.g., 50% is half normal speed, 100% is normal speed, 200% is twice normal speed, etc.

Usage

Changes to clip playback speed as a percentage can be applied as follows:

  1. Right-click on a clip in a bin and select Change Clip Speed... (See note about sequences below.)
  2. Select Effects -> Change Clip Speed...
  3. Right-click on a clip within a sequence and select Change Clip Speed...

Type in percentage number to change the clip speed relative to the original speed.

Alternatively, click on the duration and stretch the clip to the desired duration.

Check the Keep audio pitch unchanged check-box to keep the audio pitch the same when speeding up or slowing down. If this is unchecked, slowing down audio will reduce the pitch and speeding it up will increase the pitch.

The clip speed settings of a clip can be changed at any time.

Speed change will modify the way other effects work. e.g., Using speed change to play a clip in reverse when the clip has an animated Motion video effect applied will cause the motion to play in reverse. This is true regardless of whether the other effect was added before or after the speed change was made.

Sequences can only have changes applied to their speed by adding them to another sequence, selecting the sequence on the track, and using methods 2 or 3 above.
