Video speed and clip play preview.

Hi, looking for some help.

In the image I have
attached is my nearly completed video.

But there are changes I want to do. For example change the video speed on one clip.
But I do not want to change the position of any other clip. Its very synced to the audio track.

How can this be done? The only way I have managed to do this is too drag the clip to
another track. Lock my main track, change the speed, adjust the trim,
and unlock the main track and drag back. Seems a long winded way.
I understand the clip length will change. But would like a trim
to fit if longer and leave a blank space if shorter. (Maybe that’s
a message to Cyberlink if its not there)


Which leads on to my
other question, I use the lower tracks to hold clips I may not use.
But how do I view them. PD has two modes of play, Clip and Movie
mode. Except clip mode doesn’t allow you to view a clip if the track
is disabled (Which sort of makes sense.) I would have thought the
track disabled stops the clips playing in movie mode, but if a clip
is selected it should be playable in the main view. I am sure there's
a setting for this but I can’t see it.

Many Thanks

Maybe try using the Ctrl key while clicking on the edge of clip, a double arrow will appear, expand or contract to change video speed.

I didn't know that. Thanks Jeff that does help.

Any idea about previewing a clip?

Thanks again

No unique setting I know of, you'd have to simply check the eye on the left side of the track to enable viewing.
