For example, clicking a clip at 01:00:02:00 in the Timeline with the Time Remap tool
places the playhead at that frame in the Timeline. Dragging to the left, you move frame
00:00:06:00 in your clip from 01:00:06:00 in the Timeline to 01:00:02:00, which is the
current position of the playhead.
Frame 00:00:06:00 from the clip’s media file has been remapped to frame 00:00:02:00.
A new keyframe is placed at the position of the playhead, with the right half of your
clip being slowed down and the left half being sped up.
To move a source frame from another time to the playhead:
1 Select the Time Remap tool in the Tool palette (or press the S key three times).
2 Move the Time Remap tool over the clip you want to adjust in the Timeline.

Tip: By holding down the Shift key before clicking a clip with the Time Remap tool, you
can scrub though 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 position you clicked.
