  2. Pick a speed — Drag the slider from 0.25× (slow-mo) to 4× (hyperlapse). 1× is original speed.
  3. Click Change speed — FFmpeg's setpts filter handles the video and atempo filter handles audio pitch-correction so it doesn't sound like a chipmunk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will fast-forward make voices sound chipmunky?

No — we use FFmpeg's atempo filter which pitch-corrects audio. A 2× speedup sounds like fast speech, not a chipmunk.

What's the maximum slowdown / speedup?

0.25× (4× slower) to 4× (4× faster). Beyond that the audio quality degrades noticeably and most viewers can't follow.

Does it work for slow-motion footage?

Sort of — for true high-quality slow-motion you need video captured at higher FPS originally. This tool stretches the existing frames in time, so very slow speeds get a duplicated-frame look.
