That will open up the Speed Change function and allow you to adjust the speed of your clip as a percentage. Right-click on your clip and select the option that says Change Clip Speed.

If you are taking a video, all you have to do is start your recording and remember to come back to stop it when you are finished. Look through your viewfinder or on your camera’s playback screen and set markers just outside of the shot so that you can line that exact shot up again later if you do move your camera. If you do not have one available, find a sturdy and secure place to set your camera so that it can remain completely still and untouched.
