How to speed ramp in Premiere Pro
Short answer
Right-click the clip's fx badge and choose Time Remapping > Speed. Cmd-click or Ctrl-click the rubber band to add keyframes, drag the section between them up or down, then drag one half of a keyframe to ease the change.
In Premiere Pro
01
Show Time Remapping
Make the video track taller, right-click the clip's fx badge, and choose Time Remapping > Speed.
02
Add keyframes
Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (Windows) the horizontal rubber band where the ramp starts and ends.
03
Change the speed
Drag the band between the keyframes up to speed up or down to slow down. The value shows as a percentage.
04
Ease the ramp
Drag one half of a keyframe apart to turn the jump into a gradual change, then drag the blue handle to curve it.
05
Smooth slow parts
For slowed sections, set Time Interpolation to Optical Flow in Speed/Duration.
- Time Remapping doesn't change the audio. Unlink it and handle the sound separately.
Eddie AI
Do it in Eddie
Ask Eddie for a ramp, and it arrives in Premiere as a real speed change.
Say "Ramp into this shot and back out again." Speeds run from 0.25x to 8x. A retime mutes the shot's own audio except between 80% and 125%, and Eddie won't ramp while someone is talking unless you insist.
Back to Premiere
Open the edit, click Export and choose Premiere. You get a Premiere project (.prproj) or the older Premiere XML. In the desktop app, Send to Premiere Pro builds the edit inside Premiere through Eddie's panel, which the app installs for you.
If you imported the footage through the desktop app, the timeline points at your original camera files, so Premiere relinks to them. If you uploaded on the web or pulled from cloud storage, it points at Eddie's proxy media; relink to those, not to the camera originals.

Questions
- Why can't I see Time Remapping?
- Make the track taller and right-click the fx badge on the clip.
- What footage is best for ramps?
- High frame rate, such as 60 or 120 fps, so the slow parts stay smooth.
