Problem with change speed duration

Community Beginner ,
Jun 04, 2025 Jun 04, 2025

Hello, I have a problem with changing the speed of a clip lasting more than 20 minutes. When I enter a value such as 200% and 300%, the program automatically gives me a percentage that does not exceed 24 hours (with 20-minute clips, the problem is with entering 200%, with 1-hour clips, 200% and 300%). I have tried many methods, such as changing the keyboard language or testing different versions, and nothing helps. The problem appeared from one day to the next, when I had never had anything like this before. At the same time, I am a fairly new film editor and I do not know if I accidentally clicked some option of the 24-hour clip length limiter, etc.

Please be understanding and I will be grateful for your help

Best regards, Wayfarer

A Premiere Pro sequence cannot exceed 24 hours. That's actually a limit of SMPTE timecode, because it has no way to track DAYS so very 24 hours the code would have to reset to 00:00:00:00.

I'm confused though: you're setting your speed to 200 or 300% but that should be making your clips shorter, not longer. 200% speed of a 20 minute clip would be 10 minutes. But even if you meant 50% speed a 1-hour clip would be two hours. How exacrly are you getting these durations close to 24 hours?

When I enter the first number, i.e. 1 or 2 or 3 (100%/200%/300%), Adobe automatically gives a low %, so the clip suggests a time of 24 hours. I am attaching a screenshot https://imgur.com/a/47bJJpN . I even used the adobe clean tool and the problem still hasn't been solved

I generally have a problem with 20 min+ clips and the longer the recording, the more the subsequent numbers to enter get bugged, e.g. 20 min (only digit 2), 40 min+ (digit 2 and 3), etc., etc.

the first screen is from a project with a 3h 20 min recording but it was cut and I only sped up the part that lasts 20 min. The second screen is from a clip that lasts 54 min.

So if I understand you correctly, you don't want these low % numbers, correct? So you meant to input 272% but it's setting it to 2.72%? Or are you typing in the duration field and it's calculating the percentage wrong?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying other figure out how you're arriving at this issue.

The problem occurs when I want to enter a value and it starts with the first character typed on the keyboard (e.g. I want to enter 200, it jumps to 2.72%). The percentage that you noticed in both screenshots adjusts to the length of the clip, so it is not a fixed rule for specific values ​​that I enter, i.e. when I enter 200 with a clip lasting 54 minutes, it changes to 3.64 (immediately after entering the number 2). I know workarounds, but the problem appeared around May 28, so I don't know if there was an update from Adobe or maybe from the Windows system. If necessary, I have an Asus rog strix g17 laptop, maybe this information will be useful, whether for you or other users reading this topic. so to sum up, I'm going to enter 200 but after clicking the number 2 Adobe changes it to a minimum % depending on the length of the clip that I'm speeding up, I hope it will be understandable now because I know it's hard to explain 🙂
