Inserting and editing videos > Change playback speed

1 Accelerating or decelerating a video's playback speed

Change playback speed

In the Properties window, you will find the item Speed.

For a slower video, enter a value <100%. If you wish your video to play at half speed, for example, enter the value 50%.
The smaller the value, the more “clipped” the movement will be in the video.

To make your video play more quickly, enter a value >100%. For example, 200% will double the speed of the video.
The maximum value for playback speed is 1000%.

2 Dynamically accelerate or decelerate your video in the keyframe track STAGES

Curve for playback speed in the timeline

In STAGES you can have varying speeds for your video object. Set the maximum value of the playback speed in the properties window.

In the matching keyframe track (speedometer icon) you can raise or lower the playback speed on a curve.
The straight line in the keyframe track offers you orientation and indicates where the 100% mark is.
The maximum value of the curve is always that which you have set in the playback speed field.
