Input a numeric value to manually adjust your video’s speed to a more specific speed.

How to use the new speed selector
Step 1. Add media to the timeline
Drag and drop your media assets from the Your media tab to the timeline. Make sure to place your video above your audio file. Collapse the left sidebar when you’re finished.

Step 2. Select the video asset and select speed
To change the speed of your video or audio file, click on the asset on the timeline, so it's highlighted green. Editing options will appear on the right-hand side of the editor. Next, click on the speed tab on the right-hand side of the editor to open speed controls.

Step 3. Edit the speed of your video
Drag the slider left and right to adjust the clip speed. Choose from 0.1x to up to 16x speed options or input a value. Moving the slider left and right will also edit the length of the asset on your timeline.

If you have multiple media assets on your timeline that you would also like to speed up or slow down, repeat the same steps. Don’t forget to edit the speed of your audio as well.

Step 4. Save and share your video
Click on the Export button when you’re ready to save and share your new video. Select a video resolution to save. We recommend saving your video in 1080p video resolution for the highest quality. Share your video directly from the editor using Clipchamp’s saving integrations.
