Video speed function not available in Photoshop CC

I'm trying to create a 'speedpaint' video.  I've brought several clips (.mp4) into Photoshop CC, lined them up and trimmed them.  They were filmed in real time at 1080p and 25 fps.  Every resource I can find online makes it sound as simple as right-clicking on the clip, which should then give a dialogue box that provides options for speed and duration.  However, when I right click on the clips (or left click for that matter), all I get is a box called 'motion,' with no option to change the speed of the clips.

I haven't found anything about this being the case, but I'm wondering whether converting the clips into Smart Objects is causing this issue.  Due to the way my camera is currently set up, the videos were filmed upside down and I had to convert the clips to Smart Objects to allow for them to be turned up the right way using the move tool.

Any guidance is appreciated!

    If you double click on the Smart Object, it will open the content as PSB, which contains the original video layer (that you can change the duration/speed.)

    Hi Kenneht,

    I've uploaded the video seperatly as a videogroup

    Is there a second way to change the speed? I'm working in the videolayer of the videogroup and nothing changes. It keeps the speed @ 100%. Audio is no problem to change apparently.

     

    Thanks for the info

    Sorry I don't know any other way to change the speed. Can you use a video editing software instead?

    Right-clicking the layer in the Timeline will give you the duration/speed control:

    Thank you for your reply,

    however as I advised, this doesn't happen when I right click on the clip, I just get a box that says 'motion.'  On further research, it appears that the conversion to a Smart Object does cause the clip to no longer be seen as a video file, hence it doesn't give the speed functions.  Looks like I have to start again and adjust everything else before I convert to smart object. to rotate the image.

    Thank you again for taking the time to respond.

    If you double click on the Smart Object, it will open the content as PSB, which contains the original video layer (that you can change the duration/speed.)


    Must this be done prior to making it a smart object?  Is the duratio/speed fixed afterward converting to a smart object?

    Thank you in advance.
