Premiere Pro Guru: Speed Changes

Course details

Edit the pace and the flow of your video with even more confidence than before, after learning how to use Premiere Pro to change the speed of footage with ease. This course explores how to use features and tools in Premiere to freeze frames, blend frames, change frame rate, change clip speed, and even create a clip with variable speeds. Join Jeff Greenberg as he takes you through timeline adjustments, clip speed changes, interpolation with optical flow, remapping, shooting at a high frame rate (HFR), and more.
