About Change Video Speed — Free Online Tool

Change Video Speed replays a clip at anywhere from a quarter speed to four times speed, with the audio pitch left alone.

The video side is a timestamp rewrite: each frame's presentation time is divided by the speed factor, so no new frames are invented. That matters most for slow motion — at 0.25x you get the same frames held four times as long, not interpolated frames in between, so motion looks stepped unless the source was shot at a high frame rate to begin with. Audio is run through a chain of atempo filters built by repeated halving or doubling, because that filter is only valid between 0.5x and 2x, and chaining it this way is what keeps a voice from turning into a chipmunk at the extremes. Asking for 1x is refused.

The timestamp rewrite and the audio stretch both run on your device, so the clip stays where it already is.

Slowing a golf swing or a technique demonstration enough to watch it, compressing a long screen recording into a quick walkthrough, speeding up a timelapse that was shot too slowly, and slowing speech down enough to transcribe it.
