What happens to the audio?

It follows the picture. Faster playback raises the pitch of speech noticeably beyond about 1.5x.

Which speed should I use?

For talking-head footage, 1.25x to 1.5x tightens pacing without making the voice sound odd.

About Change Speed

Changing playback speed compresses or stretches time: speed up a slow demonstration so it holds attention, or slow a fast movement down enough to see what happened. The picture is unchanged, only its timing.

How to use it

Select the video file you want to retime.
Pick a speed — above 1x to shorten, below 1x to stretch.
Apply the change and download the result.

Worth knowing

Speeding a clip up drops the running time proportionally: a four-minute video at 2x becomes two minutes. Slowing footage down cannot invent frames that were never captured, so heavy slow-motion can look stepped.
