Video Speed Changer

Playback speed is a surprisingly powerful creative and practical lever. Slowing a clip to 0.5× turns a quick gesture into a clear demonstration. Speeding it up to 2× or 4× compresses a long process video into a punchy time-lapse. Video Speed Changer gives you a simple slider — from 0.25× crawl to 4× fast-forward — and re-encodes the result as a standard video file at the new speed.

Unlike browser-side `playbackRate` tricks that only change playback without altering the file, this tool produces a genuinely re-timed video: the duration changes, the audio pitch is corrected, and the output plays at the right speed on any device or platform.

How to Change Video Speed Online

1. 1

   Upload your video

   Drop any MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI, or MKV file onto the page. Files up to 50 MB are supported.

2. 2

   Choose a speed

   Select 0.25×, 0.5×, 0.75×, 1.5×, 2×, 3×, or 4×. Speeds below 1× slow the video down; above 1× speed it up.

3. 3

   Download your video

   Click Change Speed. FileCrank adjusts both video and audio tempo to match. Files are deleted within 1 hour.

How Video Speed Adjustment Works

Changing video speed requires two independent operations on the two streams inside the container. The video stream is re-timed by adjusting the presentation timestamp (PTS) of each frame — for 2× speed, every frame's timestamp is halved, so they appear twice as fast. For slow motion, frames are spread further apart in time.

Audio is more complex: simply stretching or compressing the audio waveform changes pitch as well as duration. The tool applies a phase-vocoder algorithm (via FFmpeg's `atempo` filter) that preserves the original pitch while adjusting duration — so voices don't sound like chipmunks at 2× or like giants at 0.5×. Both streams are then re-muxed into the output container and delivered as a single file.

Speed Changer vs. Video Editor Speed Controls

Professional editors offer speed ramps, time remapping curves, and optical flow interpolation for buttery slow motion. Video Speed Changer doesn't do any of that — it applies a single constant speed multiplier to the whole clip. That simplicity is its strength: no timeline, no project file, no export queue. For a uniform speed change, this is faster than any NLE by a wide margin.
