Sports events like the NFL and the WWE can cut to replays almost instantly, but when you are editing home movies, it may take a little longer to do. If will have a great effect seeing one of your family members jumping into the pool in slow motion or one of the younger ones hitting a home run in little league.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
Open up Adobe Premiere Pro. Choose a file name for the project, something like "slow_motion," or whatever you please.
Step2
Right click on the file bin in the let hand corner and click on the import. Select all of the video files that you wish to import and create a slow motion replay out of
Step3
Go through all of the files and decide which one you want to use first. Click and drag that file into the Video 1 line on the editing Timeline.
Step4
Using the navigation bar, drag to the exact moment where you want the replay to begin. Keeping that bar there, click the slice tool on the far left of the timeline. This tool looks like a razor blade. Bring your cursor back over and click right where the navigation bar sits.
Step5
Go back where you clicked the slice tool and click the selection tool arrow.
Step6
Drag the navigation bar to the point that you would like the replay to end. Once again click the slice tool and click the mouse right over the navigation bar. Choose the selection tool after you have completed that. Now there should be a section of your video that has been separated from the other part.
Step7
Click once on the separated section without dragging the mouse and the selection should be highlighted.
Step8
Press CRTL+C on your keyboard. The selection will now be copied. To paste it, drag the navigation bar to the right of the clip and press CRTL+V. Now a copy of that selected video will be on your timeline.
Step9
Click and drag it to the left until it right against the end of your video. Now right click on the newly copied video and select the option that says “Speed/Duration.” Here there will be two options. You can either adjust the clip by the percentage or the time. I’d suggest doing it in the amount of time, because then you will know how long the clip will be before you render it.
Step10
Try out different times to pick the best slow motion. For example a three second clip may look great at six seconds in length, but a little too long with eight seconds. Once you have set your desired time, click on the OK button.
Step11
To see what the clip will look like, just hit the enter button and your project will automatically render. Then you can play it back and preview the slow motion part easily.
