-----------
Time Stretching is very useful but hard to wrap one's head around initially; this is an attempt to make clarify the concept and showcase it's use by doing the following:

- Clarified the core concept of "remapping" in easy language
- Include the idea of using the inputs not as absolute values but as a ratio
- Gave an example which highlights the relationship between the values
- Added a warning regarding the relationship with //Frame Start //and //Stop// which may save a lot of frustration

These changes reflect the concepts which I had to understand before using this feature successfully and also attempts to answer confusions I encountered in forums while researching the feature, thus I think a more verbose explanation for this feature would help a lot.

 Time Remapping
 ==============
 
-Use to remap the length of an animation.
+Use to remap the length of an animation; making it run slower or faster.
+The *Old* and *New* settings may either be used as absolute values or as a ratio:
+For example, setting *Old* to a value of 2 and *New* to 1 will run the animation twice as fast.
 
+.. warning::
+
+   Using *Time Remapping* will not influence the *Start* or *End* frames set above,
+   so make sure that your animation is not cut off or has extraneous still frames at the end.
