Pick a speed on Clip settings, under SPEED: 0.5× plays the video at half speed, 3× three times as fast. The preview keeps playing at normal speed while you edit. The new speed is applied when you post.

Change the speed

  1. Open the video in the editor. It opens on Trim.
  2. Tap Next, or tap Speed in the row of tools. Clip settings opens.
  3. Under SPEED, tap 0.5×, 1×, 1.5×, 2× or 3×.
  4. Tap Next, then Done.

Next to SPEED you see how long the video is now and how long it will be at the new speed. A badge in the corner of the video shows the speed, and a line under the row reminds you that the preview isn’t sped up.

To go back to normal speed, tap 1×.

Good to know

  • The video’s own sound speeds up or slows down with it. A sound you added from Ayyam’s sounds plays at its normal speed.
  • Slowing down makes the video longer, and the 10-minute limit counts the new length. A 6-minute video at 0.5× plays for 12 minutes and won’t post.
  • The website can’t change a video’s speed.
