Question regarding Adobe Premiere

Shaye87 · 20 Apr 2008 at 21:45

Hi there, see the following picture:

What these two buttons basically do is forwarding and/or rewinding faster or slower the current file [whether it's audio or video].
What I want to know is how can I do it so it actually effects my current video or audio so that whenever I save my file or export the movie, the same way I hear it when i press those buttons above, I will hear it in the exported file...

Thanks a lot.

I believe those are the 'scrub' buttons - in big editing systems you'd have a physical knob you can turn back and forth to the same effect.

It's not an effect, you'd have to insert a speed/playback effect in order for it to be a part of your finished film.

Yeah well, I can't find it in premiere then. What's the effect called? tried a few but none seemed to do what I want

I'm not sure (i'm not a premiere man) but there will be a speed type effect - or maybe a playback speed as properties of the clip on the track - i have definatly seen somthing in there. Or at least a retime to squash a clip into a track.

Right click the clip on the timeline, adjust the speed.

Great that worked!
Now 1 more thing, whenever I adjust the selected clip's speed, it automatically cuts it.
Say I reduce the speed to 65% from 100%, then it will play the beginning of the clip at the reduced speed, but the end of the clip is kinda "lost"...
any idea on that one?

thanks a lot

You need to drag and extend the clip (as it has a crop marker for the end and your slowed down version extends beyond that)

If you hover over the right boundary of the clip on the timeline you should be able to click and drag it to the right to make it longer.
