If you slow down the speed of a clip in a sequence with clips on both sides of it, how can you prevent the end of the clip from being cut off?

• A. Ripple Edit
• B. Ripple Edit Tool
• C. Time Remapping
• D. Ripple Edit, Shifting Trailing Clips in the Clip Speed/Duration dialog box

Answer: (D)

When you change a clip’s speed, its duration changes and the timeline around it must adapt. If there are clips on both sides, slowing the clip can push into the following clip and cause the end to be truncated unless the rest of the sequence can move to accommodate. The best way to handle this is to use a ripple-edit approach that also shifts the trailing clips. The option in the Clip Speed/Duration dialog that enables Ripple Edit and shifts trailing clips tells Premiere Pro to automatically adjust the downstream clips as the selected clip’s duration changes. This keeps the timeline continuous and prevents the end of the slowed clip from being cut off, because the rest of the sequence moves to fit the new length rather than being left out of sync. Time Remapping deals with internal speed changes within a single clip rather than coordinating the surrounding timeline, and a generic Ripple Edit alone doesn’t guarantee the trailing clips will shift in this specific context. This combined setting is the precise control needed to maintain continuity when altering a clip’s speed with neighboring clips present.
