How to change the speed of a video and audio
Step 1. Drag and drop the video and audio onto the timeline
Drag and drop your media assets from the Your media tab to the timeline. Make sure to place your video above your audio file.
Step 2. Click on the asset you would like to speed up or slow down
To change the speed of your video or audio file, click on the asset on the timeline so it's highlighted green. Editing options will appear on the right-hand side of the editor.
Step 3. Click on the speed tab
Next, click on the speed tab on the right-hand side of the editor. Speed controls will appear.
Step 4. Edit the speed of your video or audio
Drag the slider left and right to adjust the clip speed. Choose from 0.1x to up to 16x speed options. Moving the slider left and right will also edit the length of the asset on your timeline.
Alternatively, you can input a numeric value to manually adjust your video’s speed to a more specific speed.
These instructions are the same for both audio and video files. Make sure to click on the media file you would like to edit on the timeline first.
If your video has audio attached to the video, any speed changes made will also apply to audio files and audio attached to any video clip. If your audio file is unattached from your video like in the example above, you will have to edit each asset separately.

Undoing a speed change
You can return the video to its original state at any time by clicking on the clip in the timeline and resetting the clip back to its original speed of 1x using the slider. You can also use the undo button to undo or redo changes. Alternatively, drag and drop the original video into your timeline again from your media library.
