Tip: By holding down the Shift key before clicking a clip with the Time Remap tool, you
can scrub through the clip—watching it in the Canvas as you find the specific frame
where you want to start remapping. As you scrub through the clip, an outline of the
entire range of frames in that clip appears. If you’ve already applied other time
remapping keyframes, this outline moves left and right to provide you with a reference
to see which frame in the clip you’re selecting.
3 Click the clip to choose the point in time at which you want to start time remapping.
The playhead jumps to the location you clicked.
4 With the mouse button still held down, drag left or right to begin moving a frame from
another part of the clip to the current playhead position in the Timeline.
While you drag, the Timeline speed indicators change to show you the modified speed
to the left and right of the new time remapping keyframe at the playhead, and a
tooltip appears with information about the speed change:
 Time: The current position of the playhead in the Timeline.
 Old Source Frame: The timecode number of the clip’s media file frame when you
clicked the clip with the Time Remap tool.
 New Source Frame: The timecode number of the clip’s media file that will be placed at
the position of the playhead. While you drag, this frame is also shown in the Canvas.
 Speed Left: The playback speed, as a percentage, of the section of your clip defined
by the first time remapping keyframe immediately to the left of the current position
of the playhead.
 Speed Right: The playback speed, as a percentage, of the section of your clip defined
by the first time remapping keyframe immediately to the right of the current
position of the playhead.
5 When you’ve dragged far enough to create the desired speed effect, release the
mouse button.
The Timeline speed indicators show the clip’s new speed settings.
