How to control the tempo of a shot in Adobe Premiere using the Rate of Stretch tool

Adobe Premiere Is a time-line based video editing software. The cs6 tools present in this software provides users with options they can use to edit their videos. This allows videos edited by using this software to have an edge over others of its kind. One can increase or decrease the tempo of a shot using the stretch rate in order to make the shot appear in a different manner. The speed at which the shot goes will automatically change the overall appearance of the video and thus this technique is used.
Adobe Premiere cs6 tutorials allow you to learn about various features of this software. In this tutorial we will guide you on how to increase or decrease the tempo of a shot by using the rate of stretch tool in Adobe Premiere.



Step 1 – Syncing the sequence with frame
Here you can see a sequence where every frame is synced with each other on the timeline. Now if we want to replace the second clip with any other, it should be of the same length otherwise it will exceed the time frame of the sequence.
In order to sync the sequence according to the time frame we have, you will be required to pick up the rate of stretch tool from the tools menu present towards the left side of the timeline.

Step 2 – Changing duration and speed of clip
Now, click on the clip from its end and drag it towards the left side in order to reduce its length. This will not clip the frames but instead speed up the clip, which in this case is up to 130%. If you drag the clip towards the right, it will increase the duration of the clip and reduce the speed of the clip.
