Using the Retime Clip Tool

The Retime Clip tool allows you to trim a shot’s In or Out point and automatically retime the clip to fill the new shot duration. Activate the Retime Clip tool by clicking the tool or pressing R three times.

Click-and-drag the edit point to the new position and release to complete the trim and retime. For example, trimming a 50 frame shot to 25 frames retimes the clip to 200%.

Alternatively, click an edit point and nudge the edit using the , (comma) or . (period) keys or hold Shift to nudge by the Frame Increment set under the Viewer.

Tip:  By holding Ctrl/Cmd and dragging an edit, you can retime past the end of the shot’s handles.
