Cannot understand Speed up/Slow down workflow!

I have hours of footage to sift through. As a timesaver, I sped up my clip to 400%. Then I found an interesting point, made a cut on the 400% clip and slowed down that cut clip to 100% problem is that I expect the 100% clip to be 4x larger after slowing it down, HOWEVER!!! the length of the clip remains exactly the same after the slow down and I lose 3/4's of the clip.

I am new to premiere and I suspect I have a huge gap in my knowledge. Can anyone help me understand what I am failing to do, and maybe how to accomplish the workflow that I am intending to achieve?

Thank you!!

Hi hunterp75995293,

By default, if there is no space available for the slowed clips to expand to its actual length, it won't expand overwriting the adjacent clips. In these cases, you may use the Ripple Edit Tool to expand the slowed down clips to the required duration.

You can use the JKL keys when viewing your clips, if you keep pressing "L" the playback will keep increasing in speed, press K (or spacebar) to stop, press "J" to go backwards and keep pressing it and it speeds up, or if you were going forward fast J will slow you down a bit, and press keep pressing it, etc...

If you just cut that within the sequence it may not know to push the next bit over. This is a ripple type change, although sitting on my phone I'm not recalling exactly how that might work.
