FEATURE REQUEST: Speed ramp AUDIO when speeding up VIDEO

Right now when you use the time remapping feature in Premiere Pro, it does not influence the audio linked to the video, so if you want to make a gradual speed ramping, your audio looses synchronization after the point where the speedramp starts. I suggest adding speed ramping for the audio as well - an automatic one that changes the audio pitch to the same extent as the speed of the video, and a separate one - to manipulate the speed of an audio that is unlinked from the video or has no video at all. I'm not talking about changing the pitch but rather changing the speed with the time remap handles like it's done with the video, so the duration of the audio track is changed as well when applying this time remapping for the audio.

I know, I can cut the part I want to change the speed of and use "Maintain pitch" checkbox but this is not time remapping, but rather changing the speed abruptly. Suppose I have a video of a basketball match and I want to speed-ramp the goal moment retaining the sound change as well, make it gradually slow down and lower the pitch - I'll have to do the time remap for the video and then cut the audio of this moment from both sides and apply an animated pitch effect trying to approximately set it to the level where the sound would be as slow and guess its length. This is dreary and ridiculous especially when there's a "software for phonies and tiktokies" - Capcut that does it with JUST a single remapping feature.

PS:  do not sugest After Effects where it works with the sound as well. Capcut loads faster and I'd better go there instead... AND it's done with a SIMPLE custom curve there!

So are we just never going to get useable speed ramping with audio? After Effects has had this feature for over 20 years!!!!

Hi, Ann. Though I generally welcome this new feature, it’s not the one in question here. The problem of this topic has not been solved yet

Adobe, this is a disgrace. Imovie had this in 2010. I had better editing software for my needs from a free app over 15 years ago. Absolutely shameful incompetence.

Adobe please look what kronos did 10 years ago with there plugin kronos in AfterFX an add that in PP with gpu support. Nothing is better than this algorithme for time remapping! it is long long time ago…. stop with bad IA tools and please go on right direction.

I am here because I also want this. In the mean time, thanks for adding 'maintain audio pitch' in the Clip speed/duration pop-up! Very helpful!
