How to Speed Up or Slow Down a Video Clip in Shotcut
Hey everyone. In today's shotgun video, I want to show you how to change the speed of any video clips. So you could make things go faster or you could slow things down. Let me show you right now. So I have my clip here. I'm going to drag it down here just to my timeline. If you don't have a timeline, it will create one down here for you and if I press play, this is playing at regular speed. To change it. Go ahead and right-click on this clip and there's an option here for properties, click this, and right over here is show speed by default is just one, which is the standard. So if I change this to five and press enter five X, let me go ahead and press enter on that.
It takes a second and if I press play now, it's going to go much, much faster, and you could see it changed the duration of the clip. It was like 12 seconds. Now, it's just about two, two, and a half seconds. If I want to slow it down, I have to do less than one. So 0.25. For example, if I press enter, that is going to be a quarter of SB point five zero is going to be half the speed you could see made it much, much longer. So now if I press play on it, you could see it's going really, really low here, and it's not rendered. That's why it's a little bit choppy here and the option that says pitch compensation. If you have sound and you reduce something that has sound, you'll need to click the pitch compensation here.
So it doesn't make, you sound like a chipmunk. If you make things fast or really slow, if you change things, it's going to try to keep the pitch of a sound, but I don't have any sound here, so it doesn't matter. So that's how you change speed. I shot cut and I have a more complete tutorial on this application, for editing for completely free on Mac and PC.
So I'll put that in the description. If you want to check that out. Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time.
