When to Change Video Speed
Speed up long tutorials and timelapses. Slow down action shots and sports replays. Create dramatic slow-motion effects from normal footage. Fit more content into shorter social media clips by speeding up dead time.

Speed Settings Guide
- 0.25x–0.5x (slow motion) — Best for action shots, sports highlights, and dramatic reveals
- 1.5x–2x (slight speed-up) — Great for tutorials and walkthroughs with dead time
- 3x–4x (fast forward) — Best for timelapses and condensing long recordings
