Ramping Slow Motion in Premiere Elements 7

[Chuck Engels]

Here is a YouTube tutorial that was posted on Elements Village by ATR in response to a user's question.
It is a very interesting effect and process, worth checking out

To create the slo-mo effect with-in a clip, I have just split the clip before and after the sequence I want to slow and then time-stretch the split section until I get the desired effect. Splitting with time-stretch also prevents duplicate frames. What is the advantage to doing it the author's way?

I think the tutorial is showing a way to have various speeds. With Premiere Pro the time remapping feature allows for a gradual slow down and a gradual speed up. With Premiere Elements there is only one speed and have to split the clip. If you split the section in multiple clips and have various degrees of slow motion it may look almost as smooth as if you keyframed time remapping.
