Retime in the Timeline
You can modify the duration and playback speed of video tracks in the Timeline, using the retime
pointer or loop pointer.
Speed and duration are interdependent; that is, if you increase a clip’s playback speed, its
duration decreases, and vice versa. For example, a 60-frame video clip played back at 30 frames
per second takes two seconds to display its 60 frames. If its In point is frame 1, its Out point is
frame 60. Playing back the same clip at 15 frames per second would take twice as long; the clip’s
In point remains the same, but its Out point becomes 120.
For more detailed information about retiming, see
on page 246. For more
information on using custom Retiming behaviors, see
on page 349.

Option key.
