Drag and drop it into the track timeline. Go to the appeared “Effect Controls” window, set the speed value to 100 and press “Enter”. In the next step, open the “Timewarp” options in the “Effects” tab and go to the timeline in order to set the time indicator to the necessary position.
Then create a keyframe by pressing on the “Watch” icon inside the track options window.
