How to Speed Up or Slow Down a Video Clip in Shotcut
Howto & Style
Introduction
In today's tutorial, we will learn how to change the speed of a video clip using Shotcut video editing software. This feature allows you to make your videos play faster or slower according to your preferences. Follow the steps below to adjust the speed of your video clips easily.
To start, drag your video clip onto the timeline in Shotcut. If you don't have a timeline, Shotcut will create one for you automatically. Right-click on the video clip, select "Properties," and then adjust the speed parameter. The default speed is set to 1, which is standard playback speed. You can increase the speed by entering a value greater than 1, such as 2 or 5, to make the video play faster. Conversely, entering a value less than 1, such as 0.5 or 0.25, will slow down the video playback. Additionally, you can enable pitch compensation if your video clip contains audio to maintain the original pitch even when changing the speed.
