Tips for Speeding up Videos on Snap

Speeding up your Snapchat videos can create energized content and turn regular clips into out-of-the-ordinary content. Here are some tips for speed clips on Snap:

  1. Experiment with speed settings: Explore what speed will suit your video the best – 2x or 3x enhanced speed can make a difference and create an exciting effect on your video.
  2. Use speed for dramatic impact: The speed feature can highlight the dramatic moment in your video and add additional flair.
  3. Match speed effects with music and sound effects: Add some sound effects that match with speed video or some fun track from the music library. That will enhance the energy of your Snap video.
  4. Create short-speed videos: This feature is better for shorter clips – keep them brief and fast!

How to Capture Videos on Snapchat With Different Speed

Snapchat speed features can add a fun twist to your content, and Snap is offering you different speed options. On the latest version, these features are placed in the filters menu, which you can access by swiping up from the bottom of your screen and scrolling to the right. It’s the same for old videos or new ones.

You have four options, two for speeding up your content and two for slowing it down:

  • Single Rabbit (2x Speed)
  • Double Rabbit (4x Speed)
  • Slow Motion (0.3x Speed)
  • Slow Motion (0.5x Speed)

As we mentioned, Snapchat updates can move the speed feature to the right of your screen in the Scissors icon (Edit), so have that in mind if you have trouble finding speed options.

Also, remember that faster content might require good lighting to avoid blurriness, and slow videos need steadiness when you capture them to keep everything smooth.
