Um, divide the duration by "2" or by "3", respectively?

Thanks...although I think that just shortens the clip.
The effect I am trying to achieve is the slow-mo effect like the first battle scene in Gladiator which is in real-time but looks slow-mo because they are only showing every third or fourth frame ....does that make any sense ?

Same thing, yeah, but when you blend frames, I think you'll actually create new material between the frames and I didn't think you wanted that in your original question.
If you shorten a 5 minute clip to 1 minute, you'll throw out 4 of every 5 frames (as long as you don't use frame blending). If you shorten a 3-minute piece to 1-minute, you'll only show 1/3 of the clips.
Ah, I think I know what you want to do. Try this:
For a 3-minute scene, retime it such that it is one minute long (one third). Then export to sequential frames. Then adjust the single image import duration to 3 frames. Then import your folder full of frames and place the folder back on the timeline. Voila -- 3 minutes of 1/3 the video, but stretched. It's like watching the action using a strobe light, except fewer seizures!
