- How to change video speed.
Maybe you've got a clip that you want to speed up like this
or maybe you want to slow down your clip like this.
In this video, I'm gonna show you how to change the speed
of your video in just a few simple steps.
Let's get started.
First things first in my internet browser
I'm gonna head over to veed.io,
which is an online video editing software.
If you haven't got an account you can create one for free
and once you're on the homepage,
you can click upload your video, then upload a file
and then I'm gonna select my video clip
from the desktop and hit open.
Once it's uploaded, you'll see your clip sitting down
at the bottom of the screen in the Video Timeline
and now we're ready to make this clip play faster.
To do that I'm going to start by selecting the clip
in the Video Timeline, which opens up the video properties
over on the left-hand side and if you scroll down this menu
you'll see the options for speed here.
At the moment, it's on one
which means it's playing back at normal speed.
So to speed it up, I'm gonna select a higher number
from the options.
By selecting times two, that's gonna play my video back
at double the speed.
You'll see that the clip now becomes shorter
in the timeline and now if I press play,
you'll see that the clip is now much faster
and it has an almost time-lapse effect.
Now let's take a look at how to slow your clip down.
To do this, it's a very similar process,
but let's quickly talk about frame rates.
To get the best possible quality
for your slow motion footage,
you need to be aiming for some higher frame rates.
At the very least, you should be shooting your footage at 50
or 60 frames per second
or if you can get to 125 frames per second,
that's even better.
The higher the frame rate, the better the footage
and the slower you can make it
and it will mean you get some nice, smooth,
professional looking slow motion footage
rather than any stutters or jitters.
I've imported a new example clip into the timeline
which was recorded at 60 frames per second.
So once again, I'm gonna select the clip in the timeline
to open up the properties
and then go over to my speed options
and I'm going to select 0.5
and this is gonna slow down my footage by 50%
and now if I press play, you'll see that the clip
is playing back in nice, slow motion.
But what if you just want to slow down
a small section of your video?
You might want to slow down a small portion of your clip
to highlight a moment or just create some extra impact.
To get this effect, I'm gonna select my clip in the timeline
and then with the blue playhead,
I'm gonna drag it to where I want the slow motion to start.
So I'm gonna start mine about here.
Now I'm gonna use the split tool
which is these scissors over here and by clicking that,
you'll see that it splits the clip in two.
Now going back to the blue playhead,
I'm gonna drag it to where I want my slow motion to stop
and once again I'm gonna hit the scissors,
which makes another cut.
So we've now separated the clip
in the middle of the timeline
that we want to give a slow motion effect to.
So next, I'm just gonna zoom out of the timeline
by hitting this minus icon here
and I'm gonna drag the end clip by selecting it,
clicking and dragging it just to the end of the timeline
because our middle clip that we cut out
is going to get longer so we need to make some space
on the timeline.
I'm now gonna select that middle clip,
go back to my speed options and hit 0.5
and that has now made that portion longer and slower
and I'm now gonna drag my end clip back
and now if we drag our playhead to the start of the clip
and hit play, you're gonna have a finished video
where it plays at normal speed
and then when it gets to the middle portion,
it's going to go slow motion.
And if you want to make a portion of your clip faster,
you can copy that exact same process
by selecting a faster speed from the options.
So you're done editing
and it's time to export the final product.
All you need to do is head over to the top right-hand corner
of the editor, hit Export and then export video
and Veed will now start the render of your file.
When it's finished, you can review the video one more time
in this window and if you're happy,
you can just select download MP4
and Veed will now download your finished video
to your computer.
And that is how you change the speed of a video online.
So let me know down in the comments below
are you gonna be speeding up your video
or are you gonna be slowing it down?
