3 When you’ve found the source frame in the clip that you want to remap to another
time, hold down the Option key and drag the chosen frame to another time in the clip.
While you drag, a new keyframe is created that is visible in the motion bar at the
position of the source frame being dragged. The Timeline speed indicators also change
to show you the modified speed to the left and right of this keyframe, and a tooltip
appears with the following information:
 Source Frame: The timecode number of the frame you grabbed with the Time
Remap tool.
 Old Time: The Timeline timecode number where the source frame was originally positioned.
 New Time: The new Timeline timecode number to which you’re moving the source
frame. This number changes as you drag the Time Remap tool to the left and right.
 Speed Left: The playback speed, in percent, of the section of your clip defined by
the first time remap keyframe immediately to the left of the currently remapped
source frame.
 Speed Right: The playback speed, in percent, of the section of your clip defined by
the first time remap keyframe immediately to the right of the currently remapped
source frame.

Tip: To gear down while using the Time Remap tool, hold down the Command key.
4 When you’ve moved the selected frame far enough to place the source frame at a new
time in the Timeline, release the mouse button.
The Timeline speed indicators show the clip’s new speed settings.
To scrub through a clip in
the Canvas, hold down the
Shift key, then click a clip
with the Time Remap tool.
