Tips for Better Speed Edits

Simple habits that make speed changes look intentional.

Slow down the best part

Use a slower speed on the one moment you want viewers to notice, and leave the rest of the clip at normal speed.

Speed up the slow stretches

Walking, driving and waiting shots often play better a little faster, so the clip keeps its energy.

Play it back before you save

Watch the clip once from start to end to make sure the pace feels natural, then adjust the slider if needed.
