SPEED REMAPPING

Premiere Elements Speed Remapping tools make it easy to add drama to action shots

There’s a Guided edit that takes you through the process of changing the playback speed of your videos, but once you’ve done it a couple of times it’s easy to do in the Expert area.

After selecting the clip in the timeline that you want to adjust, click on ‘Time Remapping’ in the Tools section of the Fix column on the right of the screen. Next, you just move the playhead to the point where you want the change to start, and select the area you’re interested in. You can then select the speed change that you want to make and decide if you want it to play forwards or in reverse. Although you can’t control the speed of the transition, ticking the ‘Easing In’ and ‘Easing Out’ boxes makes it smooth.
