Tutorial: Changing the Speed of a Clip

For my tutorial I chose to focus on something I taught myself while working on the video project, changing the speed of clips. I decided it would be beneficial to not only the message of my project but to the audience as well. There are two capabilities that come with changing the clip speed and duration. One can either slow it down for a “slow motion” effect, or speed it up for a “fast forward” effect. I personally felt that slowing the clip speed would display the football action in a manner that accentuated the immediate affect of the brutal physicality of a tackle.

  1. You must upload your clip to the storyline.
  2. Then you have to select the part of the clip you want to alter the speed.
  3. Once you have the part selected, you left click the clip.
  4. Then you scroll down the list and find “Speed/Duration.”Screen Shot 2016-01-29 at 3.30.15 PM
  5. Once you get into this section you are presented with this screen.Screen Shot 2016-01-29 at 3.30.57 PM
  6. Because the clip is at normal speed is it at “100%.”
  7. To make the speed slower, you can lower the number next to speed.
  8. Click “OK.”
  9. The clip you selected will now have a slow motion effect.
