Want to speed up a video on your iPhone and save the edited version as a new MP4? With a video speed editor, you can choose a video, select a faster speed, preview the result, and export the edited video as a new file.
ClipPace is a simple iPhone video speed editor for speeding up videos, slowing them down, previewing the result, and saving the edited version as MP4.
You can change the speed of an entire video, check the result before exporting, save the edited video to Photos, or share it to Files. ClipPace does not add a watermark to exported videos, does not show third-party ads, and performs video processing on device. Your original video is not modified.
How to speed up a video on iPhone
With ClipPace, you can select a video on your iPhone, choose a faster speed, preview the result, and export the edited video as a new MP4 file.
The basic steps are simple.
Open ClipPace and select a video
Choose a faster speed
Preview the video
Export the edited video as MP4
Here is how each step works.
Step 1. Open ClipPace and select a video
First, open ClipPace and choose the video you want to edit.
You can use it for lecture videos, tutorials, work videos, sports clips, cooking videos, pet videos, travel clips, and social media edits.
ClipPace does not modify your original video file. The edited version is saved as a new file, so you can keep the original video and create a faster version separately.
Step 2. Choose a faster speed
Next, choose the speed you want to apply to the video.
ClipPace supports the following speed presets for whole-video speed changes.
Speed | Common use |
0.25x | Strong slow-motion effect |
0.5x | Slower playback for checking movement |
0.75x | Slightly slower video |
1.25x | A natural, slightly faster video |
1.5x | Faster lectures, tutorials, or explanations |
2x | Standard double-speed video |
3x | Fast-motion work or process videos |
5x | Shortening long clips |
10x | Compressing time dramatically |
To speed up a video, choose 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x.
For a natural result, start with 1.25x or 1.5x. For a clear fast-motion effect, try 2x or higher.
Step 3. Preview the video
After choosing a speed, preview the video before exporting.
The best speed depends on the type of video. A lecture or tutorial can become hard to follow if it is too fast. A work video, cooking video, or process clip may look better when it is sped up more aggressively.
Previewing the result helps you choose a speed that matches the content.
Step 4. Export the edited video as MP4
When the preview looks right, export the edited video as MP4.
ClipPace saves the edited video as a new MP4 file. You can save it to Photos or share it to Files.
No watermark is added to exported videos. There is also no export count limit.
Best speed settings for different types of videos
The best speed depends on what kind of video you are editing.
Here are some practical starting points.
Use case | Suggested speed | Why it works |
Lectures and seminars | 1.25x–2x | Faster, but still easy to follow |
Tutorials | 1.25x–1.5x | Keeps steps understandable |
Work and process videos | 2x–5x | Makes long footage easier to watch |
Cooking videos | 1.5x–3x | Keeps the flow moving |
Travel and daily clips | 1.5x–3x | Creates a faster-paced recap |
Very long clips | 5x–10x | Compresses time dramatically |
You do not always need to use 2x just because you want to speed up a video.
If you want a subtle change, try 1.25x or 1.5x. If you want a stronger fast-motion effect, use 2x, 3x, 5x, or 10x.
How to slow down a video on iPhone
ClipPace can also slow down a video on iPhone.
To slow down a video, select a slower speed such as 0.75x, 0.5x, or 0.25x. Then preview the result and export the edited video as MP4.
Slowing down a video can be useful for:
Sports clips
Cooking videos
Pet videos
Travel moments
Kids’ movement or expressions
Any scene you want to watch more carefully
Use 0.75x when you want a slightly slower video, 0.5x when you want the motion to be clearly slower, and 0.25x when you want a stronger slow-motion effect.
Can you change the speed of only part of a video?
The basic ClipPace features are designed for changing the speed of an entire video.
If you want to speed up the whole video, slow down the whole video, or create a full fast-motion version, the basic whole-video speed editor is the right option.
If you want to change the speed of only one selected section, ClipPace Pro can do that.
With ClipPace Pro, you can preview one selected section and export the full video with only that section at a different speed. The full video remains intact, and only the selected part changes speed.
For example, you can use ClipPace Pro to:
Slow down one moment in a sports clip
Speed up a waiting section in a cooking video
Make part of a work video faster
Change the pace of one moment in a travel clip
ClipPace Pro also unlocks custom speeds from 0.1x to 20x.
For very high section speeds, audio inside the edited section may be omitted for stable export.
Can you save the edited video as MP4?
Yes. ClipPace exports edited videos as MP4.
This is useful when you do not just want to change playback speed temporarily, but want to save a new video file with the changed speed.
For example, you may want to:
Save a lecture video at a faster speed
Share a sped-up work video
Keep a slowed-down sports clip
Create a faster social media edit
Save the edited MP4 separately from the original video
ClipPace saves the edited video as a new file. Your original video is not overwritten.
You can save the result to Photos or share it to Files, depending on how you want to use the video.
What happens to audio and pitch?
ClipPace supports standard pitch preservation.
When you speed up or slow down a video, audio pitch can sometimes sound higher or lower. ClipPace can preserve the pitch by default so the audio sounds more natural after the speed change.
ClipPace also includes an option to change pitch with speed. You can choose the audio behavior that works best for your video.
If you do not need audio, you can also export without audio. This can be useful for work videos, social media edits, or videos where you plan to add music later.
Why use ClipPace as a video speed editor?

You choose a video, choose a speed, preview the result, and export it as MP4.
