> Changing a Clip’s Play Speed
> You can change the play speed of individual clips on the timeline (Figure 30). This option is useful for quickly moving past a process that doesn’t need to be shown in detail or slowing down a quick process which should be viewed in greater detail.
> To change a clip’s play speed, use one of these two methods:

> • | Press and hold the Option key and move your cursor to the edge of the clip. The cursor displays a clock icon indicating that you are changing the clip speed. Move the edge of the clip inward to speed the clip up and outward to slow the clip down.

> • | Click on the gear icon and select Show Clip Inspector (Figure 30).

> Figure 30. Speed Change Icons
> To adjust the speed, use the slider or manually enter a percentage value, as shown below in Figure 31. You can also change the duration to change the speed. Short is faster, longer is slower.
> Figure 31. Using the Clip Inspector
> You can also lock a clip to prevent editing.
> The clip is marked with a speed badge—a turtle or rabbit icon—to indicate that the clip speed was decreased or increased.
