Premiere Pro Time Remapping Problem

[David.A]

I have currently have the Problem, that when I want to time remap one of my clips and make it for example 250% speed the clip gets longer instead of shorter. So it does the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do. The other clips work perfectly fine. The one Clip with which I have the problem is reversed speed which is probably why it does it. I want the start of the video to be 850% of the speed. How can I make this work?

 

Many thanks in advance!

There are 2 settings, clip speed and clip duration. Sounds like you used the duration one instead of speed.

I tried instead of upping the speed %, decreasing it and even if I just lower the speed% by 1% out of a 10 second clip becomes a clip that is just 1 frame long. If I increase the speed % by just 1 % it suddenly becomes a couple of minutes long the clip (original clip 10 seconds long) which makes no sense to me

thanks for the reply. but I just triple checked and its speed not duration. exacly the same as on all other clips. just this one doesnt want to work

Just figured out that nesting solved the problem. Still weird that Premiere Pro reacts that way when you want to time remap a reversed clip

so you want a reversed 850% clip to be played 250% faster? am i reading this right? o_o

 

if so, the number you'd be looking for is actually 2125%, as in change 850% to 2125%

no i want the start of a reversed clip to run at 850% speed for a transition (250% was just an example, maybe should jhave just written 850)

 

problem was that when I changed it the clip duration got longer instead of shorter which made no sense to me. but i fixed it by nesting the clip

(sorry i'm kinda tired so i'm not that sharp right now. your workaround definitely works though, but if it happens next time it'll be better to find out what is actually going on)

just saw your msg in the brackets now  and all good. i would like to find out why that is happening aswell but I found out that a lot of other people had trouble with that aswell. seems like premiere pro just doesnt like time remapping reversed clips
