There are different ways to adjust the speed of a clip in After Effects and in this video I’m going to show you what I think is the easiest method.

Right-click on your video file, go to Time, and click “Enable Time Remapping”. This will create 2 keyframes in your video layer, one at the start of your clip and one at the end of your clip.

Now, simply drag one of the keyframes closer to the other one to speed up the clip or further away to slow it down.

If you click the Graph Editor button you can see the new speed of the clip.
