No time wasted
Whether you’re making a lifehack video for TikTok(opens in a new tab or window) or building a creative YouTube montage, you can apply a fast-motion effect with Canva’s nifty video speed controller. Just select Playback and drag the speed slider to your desired speed rate. Speed up your video up to 2x, plus you have the option to mute it or adjust its volume. Change the speed of videos in different formats, including MP4, MPEG, MKV, MOV, and WEBM. By speeding up your videos, you can keep things exciting and make the most of every second.
Keep the pace where it’s needed
Create different speed rates for various parts of your video project. If you’re working on a cooking demo and want to accelerate the process, simply split your video into sections and speed up a segment. Voilà, an instant time-lapse. From slow-paced footage to product ads, you can choose which sections of the video you need to speed up. It doesn’t stop there—you can slow down other parts of the video, as well. With our versatile video speed controller, you can speed up one section, keep the speed of another, or make a slow-mo effect for another. The result? A well-paced video that meets time constraints.
Go the extra mile for your project
With our free, customizable templates and powerful video editor(opens in a new tab or window), Canva goes beyond speeding up a video online. After making a time-lapse, you can edit your video by trimming, cropping, rotating, or applying awesome video filters. Polish it with text or illustrations from our media library. If you want to beef up your video project, upload more clips, add motion paths(opens in a new tab or window), or browse our free B-roll library(opens in a new tab or window). To finish it all off, add a music track(opens in a new tab or window) from our free audio library to capture the full ambiance of your video. Then, download it as a watermark-free MP4 clip, ready to be shared to your favorite video platform.
