Drag the edge of the clip, increasing its length to slow it down, or shortening it to speed it
up. (When slowing down a clip, you cannot stretch it past the edge of an adjacent clip.)
Changing clip speed by using the Time Stretch tool
Because you cannot stretch a clip past the edge of an adjacent clip, it is sometimes
easier to drag the clip to the end of the movie and adjust it there. When you are satisfied
with its speed, simply drag it back into position in the movie.

To change a clip’s speed by using the Time Stretch command:
1
If you plan to slow down a clip that has another clip on its right in the Timeline window,
drag it to the end of the movie in the Timeline window so you can stretch it without
bumping into an adjacent clip.
2
Select the clip in the Timeline window.
Note: If you haven’t yet added the clip to the Timeline window, you can select it in the Media
window instead.
3
Choose Clip > Time Stretch.

In the Time Stretch dialog box, type a percentage for Speed. A value less the 100% slows
the clip down; a value greater than 100% increases its speed.
