5 Right -click Rockshow.avi and choose Time Stretch.

Adobe Premiere Elements opens the Time Stretch

panel. Note that the speed should have increased

to 112.86, which is precisely the correction needed

to make Rockshow.avi the same duration as

Gina_guitar.avi. In most instances, you would click

Maintain Audio Pitch to maintain the pitch of the

clip, but since Rockshow.avi has no audio, this isn’t

necessary in this case.

6 Save your project as Lesson06_videomerge.prel.

Exploring on your own

Congratulations! Now you understand how to apply video settings, change eff ects

and settings, copy eff ects from one clip to another, create an image pan, animate an

eff ect with keyframes, create a Picture-in-Picture eff ect, and composite one video

over another with Videomerge. Here are some eff ects that you can experiment with

on your own.

1 Create a PiP eff ect using two or more clips on the same screen.

2 Experiment with alternative eff ects such as Adjust > Brightness & Contrast,

or Distort > Bend. To get a sense of the diff erent eff ects available in Adobe

Premiere Elements, choose Help > Premiere Elements Help, or press F1 to

access the Help guide. Listed in the Applying Eff ects section is a gallery of video

eff ects.

3 Experiment with the various eff ects presets located in the Eff ects panel,

specifi cally, the Horizontal and Vertical image pans.
