Best Answer

You can either set different in and out points in the clip and then pull the clip down to the time line if you want less video, or you can modify the speed, if you want the same material but over a different duration.

To change in and out points, mark you in point in your viewer window with the "I" key, and your out point with the "O" key. Then grab the clip and pull it to the timeline. You may need to export your sequence at this point, depending on final plans.

To change the speed of your clip, select the clip, go to your modify menu, and select speed. From there you can adjust the speed of the clip. (i.e. If you have 2 minutes of footage that you want to see in one minute, change the speed of the clip to 200%)
