Speed Up or Slow Down Your Video

With Flixier's video speed up or slow down feature, you can adjust the speed of your videos to create captivating content, whether you want to add emphasis to a particular moment or create a time-lapse effect.

Changing the Speed of an Entire Clip

‍There are two ways to change the speed of a clip in Flixier:

• Using the Properties Panel: Select your clip in the timeline, go to the Video tab on the right-hand Properties Panel, and expand the Video Speed menu. You can quickly click one of the preset buttons (0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x) or use the slider below them to dial in a precise custom playback speed.
• Using the Timeline Shortcut: Select your clip, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard, and click and drag the right edge of the timeline asset. Dragging the edge inward will shorten and speed up the clip, while dragging it outward will extend and slow it down.

Changing the Speed of a Specific Section

If you only want to change the speed of a particular moment within a longer video, you need to separate that section first:

1. Move your playhead to the beginning of the section you want to modify and make a cut.
2. Move your playhead to the end of that specific section and make a second cut.
3. Click on the newly isolated section on the timeline to select it.
4. Adjust the speed of that specific piece using either the Properties menu slider or the Shift+drag timeline shortcut.
