The duration of a clip is the length of time it takes to play from the In point to the Out point. You can set a duration
for video or audio clips, letting them speed up or slow down to fill the duration. You can do the same for still-image
clips, but without the changes in speed.
You can change the speed and duration for one or more clips at a time.
You can also set clip speed to fill a duration by performing a four-point edit.
In a Timeline panel or Project panel, select one or more clips. Shift-click to select clips in a Timeline panel or a

contiguous group in a Project panel. Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) clips to select a non-
contiguous group of clips in a Project panel. To change speed or duration of all the clips in a bin in the Project panel
and its nested bins, select the bin. The change does not affect non-media clips, such as Sequences and offline clips,
in the bin.
Choose Clip > Speed/Duration.

• To keep the audio at its current pitch while the speed or duration changes, check Maintain Audio Pitch.

option is available only when changing the speed or duration of clips in a Timeline panel.)
