Speed ramping is a popular technique used in video editing that involves changing the speed of a clip to create a specific effect. In this blog post, we will be discussing the speed ramping technique in Premiere Pro.

Import your footage into Premiere Pro: Before you can begin speed ramping, you need to import your footage into Premiere Pro. Once your footage is imported, drag it onto your timeline.

Apply the time remapping effect: To start speed ramping, apply the time remapping effect to the clip you want to edit. You can do this by right-clicking on the clip and selecting "Speed/Duration."

Add keyframes: Once you have applied the time remapping effect, add keyframes by clicking on the stopwatch icon. This will allow you to change the speed of your clip at specific points in time.

Adjust the speed of your clip: Now that you have added keyframes, you can adjust the speed of your clip by moving the keyframes along the timeline. For example, you can slow down the speed of your clip at the beginning and then gradually increase the speed as the clip progresses.

Fine-tune your speed ramp: Finally, fine-tune your speed ramp by adjusting the position of the keyframes and the speed of your clip. You can also add or remove keyframes as needed to achieve the desired effect.

By following these simple steps, you can easily create speed ramp effects in Premiere Pro. Remember to import your footage into Premiere Pro˝
