Change the clip speed

Play a clip a little faster or slower. Here is how to change the speed, and when it helps.

Sometimes a clip is better a touch faster, like when someone talks slowly or a moment drags. Other times a slower moment lands harder. You can change the speed of any clip.

Steps

1. Open the Speed controls

Open the clip and tap Speed.

The Speed tab, with speed buttons and a slider.

2. Pick a speed

Tap one of the buttons, from a touch slower than normal up to twice as fast. Want something in between, or even slower or faster than that? Drag the slider. As you change it, Cliphi shows you how long the finished clip will be.

When to use it

  • A little faster keeps a slow stretch moving, so people do not scroll away.
  • Slower gives a big line or a reaction room to land.

Most talking clips feel natural just slightly sped up. There is also a quick Speed button on the row of controls down the side that steps through the most common speeds.
