Clipchamp - Change the Speed of a Clip in Clipchamp Tutorial

Adjust the speed of a clip in Clipchamp by cutting a section with the typing action, then using the speed option in the right panel to fourfold its pace. The sped segment creates a gap, which is removed, and the sequence becomes more dynamic while keeping content intact. The method is applied to other slow sections, with caution not to over-accelerate the cursor movement. Slowing the intro is shown, and notes emphasize re-sequencing on other tracks and timing before timeline complexity grows.

loading screens,

00:00:07

or repetitive actions

00:00:08

can disrupt the pace of a video.

00:00:11

Adjusting their speed can make them more

00:00:13

dynamic while keeping the important information.

00:00:16

To adjust the speed of part of my clip,

00:00:18

I position the playhead just before the typing action and make a cut.

00:00:22

I then position the playhead at the end of the section and make another cut.

00:00:27

Next,

00:00:27

in the property panel on the right,

00:00:30

I select the speed option

00:00:32

which allows me to speed up the selected section in this case

00:00:35

by setting the speed to 4 times.

00:00:38

The sped up clip changes the overall timing

00:00:41

and creates an empty space on the timeline.

00:00:44

I remove this gap as well.

00:00:46

Let's preview the result.

00:00:48

That's much better.

00:00:50

Everything is still there,

00:00:52

but the sequence is much more dynamic.

00:00:55

I'll do the same with other sections that

00:00:58

are a little too slow by adjusting their speed

00:01:01

like here,

00:01:02

be careful not to increase the speed too much,

00:01:05

otherwise the captured mouse cursor may move too quickly.

00:01:10

I'll also take this opportunity to make a few additional adjustments.

00:01:15

Now let's look at the opposite example

00:01:17

slowing down my intro clip,

00:01:20

the other elements on the track are then adjusted accordingly.

00:01:24

However,

00:01:24

keep in mind that objects and assets on other tracks may need to be repositioned

00:01:30

to maintain the original structure

00:01:33

and keep the elements on the different tracks synchronized.

00:01:36

For this reason,

00:01:37

I recommend adjusting the speed before your timeline becomes too complex,

00:01:43

so you can avoid having to make multiple adjustments.
