If you’re working with video, it’s essential to add different effects to get a desirable outcome from your project. Speeding up or slowing down video clips are two such effects that mostly come in handy for every video editor. And Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, the industry standard video editing software, makes it easy for you to do that.

Here’s how you can speed up or slow down video clips with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6:

1. Import the video clip to Adobe Premiere Pro

The first thing you need to do is add the video clip to the software. To do that, go to ‘File’ and click ‘Import’. Then, choose the video file to be added and click ‘Import’.

2. Add the video clip to the timeline

Drag and drop the imported file to the timeline or right-click on the clip and choose ‘Insert’ to add it to the timeline.

3. Select the clip and go to ‘Effects’

Locate the clip in the timeline and select it. Then, go to the ‘Effects’ tab and find ‘Time Remapping’ options.

4. Choose speed options

Under the ‘Time Remapping’ options, four different speed options are available for you to choose from. ‘Speed’ increases or decreases the speed of the clip. ‘Reverse speed’ makes the clip play backward. ‘Frame hold’ allows you to pause the video frame to add some unique effects, and ‘Time Remapping’ gives you full control of the video speed.

5. Adjust the speed

To adjust the speed, you simply need to select the speed option and drag the speed slider left or right to decrease or increase the speed of the clip, respectively. To apply gradual speed changes, add keyframes by clicking on the stopwatch icon in the Time Remapping section.

6. Preview the video

Once you’re done with adjusting the speed, preview the video to ensure that the speed changes are according to your needs.
