Let’s break it down into simple steps so you can change video speed like a pro.
Why Change Video Speeds?
There are lots of reasons to adjust the speed of your videos! Here are a few:
- Make slow-mo magic – Show off a cool moment in sloooow motion.
- Speed up boring parts – Zoom through quiet scenes with fast-forward.
- Add comedy effects – Funny voices and moves? Just change the speed!
- Highlight action – Make sports, stunts, or dance clips pop!
How To Change Speed in CapCut
Ready to dive in? Here’s how to adjust the speed of your video in CapCut:
- Open CapCut and start a new project.
- Import your video – tap that big “+”.
- Tap the video on the timeline to select it.
- At the bottom menu, find and tap “Speed.”
- Now choose between two types of speed settings:
- Normal – change the whole video’s speed.
- Curve – create speed waves for more fun!
Normal speed is super simple. Slide the bar left to slow down. Right to speed up. That’s it!
Curve speed is creative. You can make the clip go fast-slow-fast or slow-fast-slow. There are presets or you can make your own.
What Speeds Can You Use?
CapCut lets you adjust video speed from 0.1x (super slow) to 100x (extra fast!).
- 0.1x – 0.5x: Great for slow-mo effects.
- 1x: Normal speed.
- 2x – 5x: Good for time-lapses or skipping dull parts.
- 10x – 100x: Use for super speedy scenes or long time-lapses.
Tiny Tips for Better Videos
- Use slow-mo for emotion. It makes special moments stand out.
- Fast-forward to keep it punchy. Especially for tutorials or vlogs.
- Match the music! Slow clips for soft songs, fast clips for fun beats.
Bonus: Edit the Audio Too!
When you change the video speed, the audio changes too. Sometimes that’s okay… sometimes it’s super weird.
No worries! You can detach the audio and edit it separately.
- Tap on the video.
- Select “Extract Audio.”
- Now you can cut it, move it, or even add music instead!
This is perfect when fast-forwarding. No more chipmunk voices – unless you want those!
