Video Summary
In this tutorial, the instructor demonstrates how to manipulate video timing in InShot using the Speed settings. He covers two primary methods: using a Standard Multiplier for quick, uniform speed changes and using Speed Curves for more dynamic, variable speed (time remapping). He also shows how to achieve “Super Slow Motion” by using AI-driven smoothing to process footage that has been significantly slowed down.
Key Concepts
- Duration Indicator: A handy tool at the bottom right of the speed menu that shows the resulting clip length before you apply the change.
- Speed Curves: Allows for localized speed control within a single clip—making parts of the video fast and others slow for a professional, “ramped” look.
- Smooth Slow-Mo: An AI-processing feature (top left of the speed menu) that fills in frames to prevent “choppy” playback when a video is slowed down past its natural frame rate.
