What speed range is supported?

You can set the speed from 0.25x (quarter speed) up to 4x. This covers everything from dramatic slow motion to rapid time-lapse effects.

Does changing speed affect video quality?

The visual quality of each frame remains the same. Slowing down a video will not add extra detail, and speeding up will not remove it — only the playback rate changes.

Can I change the speed of only part of the video?

The tool applies a uniform speed change to the entire file. To adjust only a segment, trim that segment first with the Video Trimmer, change its speed, and then combine the clips in a video editor.

Audio Behavior at Different Speeds

When you slow a video down, the audio pitch may drop unless pitch correction is applied. When you speed a video up beyond 2x, the audio can become difficult to understand. For narrated content, staying in the 0.5x to 2x range usually keeps speech intelligible. If you plan to remove audio entirely, consider pairing this tool with the Mute Video tool.
