Frequently asked questions
Do speed up effects lower video quality?
No, VSCO’s processing engine maintains each frame in high quality, so your fast-motion videos stay crisp and smooth.
Can I mix video speed with other effects?
Yes. Pair Speed with film-inspired presets, a VHS effect, or Montage for unique, attention-grabbing edits. You can also use the volume tool to mute or adjust audio independently from your speed changes.
Which speeds can I choose?
Control playback with precision, from subtle 1.1x nudges to a speed up video 10x for mid-range motion, all the way to bold 16x fast-forwarding.
Can I speed up only part of my video?
Yes. Drag the start and end points of the speed tool to the segment you want to speed up, then apply speed changes to just the part you want for precise, creative edits.
