Question

Speed/Duration % not inputting correctly...

I have several video clips in Premiere CC that I'm intending to speed up by 200%. I'm using the Speed/Duration dialog box to achieve this. I was able to make this happen with the first video clip, but the subsequent clips will not allow me to input the correct number.

Instead of displaying the percentage I type into the box (200% in this case), I'm seeing the same number each time: 2.59%. No matter what number* I input into the box, this is the result. Any additional digits I add are added to the beginning of the number.

For instance: Inputting 200% gives me 002.59%; Inputting 123 would give me 232.59%, inputting 0135 would give me 1352.59%.

* Correction: To further complicate the matter, this only happens when inputting numbers 0, 1, 2. Typing in any number 3 or above does not have this issue.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME??

Still happening in August 2025, we're nearly reaching 10 years since this post has been made

Hi Jonzy,

I tagged the engineering team on this post. I hope they will respond. Thanks for bumping it.

 

Cheers,

It's not a bug. Maximum clip length is 24 hours. You're seing 2.59 becouse your clip's length slowed down to 2.59% gives you sth like 23h59m59s. Thats why everyone below have different values and thats why cutting clip helps. You can also instead of typing 2 0 0, type, zeros first and the end and then change the first characer into 0, so the value never gets below 2.59 in your case.

Read the post. He's trying to speed clips up. Clearly, they're already shorter than 24 hours, and he's trying to make them shorter yet. I had the same issue, again with clips nowhere near 24 hours long. Read what people are saying. The issue (and there is one!) has nothing to do with maximum clip length.

For anyone still having this issue, I think I found a workaround for specifically adjusting Speed and Duration.

 

If you copy and paste the numbers instead of typing the digits it works.

 

I had a very specific case where I had to input exactly 252.54% and couldn't use Time Remapping for this. Hope this helps anyone who's still having this issue.

The cut/paste workaround worked for me but honestly, this is a bit ridiculous that this issue has been kicking around since 2018. That's SIX years. I can't believe they can't find a fix in six years.

I have the same issue. I drop in images for intro screens and attempt to set the duration -- no matter what I do, PP reverts to 4.05 seconds per image. I have tried restarting PP, the entire computer, etc, to no avail. It's a bug for sure.
