I confess I’m a keyboard shortcut junkie. Anything I can do to help me edit faster is a good thing, and nothing says “speed” like keyboard shortcuts. There are well over 600 menu options in FCP X, with hundreds of keyboard shortcuts. But, which ones are the best?

In this article, I share my Top 40 keyboard shortcuts. I use these beauties every day to help me get my projects done faster. Now, you can use them, too. Even better, I’ve categorized them to make them easier to find. Haven’t got FCPX yet? Get your 90-day free trial here.

(And, for those who take the time to count, you’ll discover this list actually includes 53 keyboard shortcuts. But using “Top 40” in the title seemed so much sexier than “Top 53.”)

The amount of video content uploaded to the Internet each day is staggering, as people around the globe create hundreds of hours of videos daily. As a result, the videos you upload to social media must stand out in this sea of content to get thousands of views, shares, or likes.

Speeding up or slowing down the footage is a simple and yet effective video editing technique that can make the content you share online more entertaining to watch. Read on if you would like to find out more about slow and fast motion video apps for iOS and Android devices you can use to process your footage before posting it on your social media accounts.

This app provides a versatile set of video editing tools, enabling you to enhance the colors in your videos, make a soundtrack or even create a PIP effect .

Afterward, you have to drag the Video Speed slider to the left or to the right and the app will automatically adjust the speed of your video. When done, you can import an audio file from your phone and proceed to export the file to the camera roll or upload it to YouTube or Instagram.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch owners can use this app to control the playback speed of all videos they record with their devices. The app’s timeline is designed to help you set points at specific segments of the video, enabling you to speed up or slow down only a portion of the video clip without cutting it.

The Slow Fast Slow app also offers the tools you will need to control the audio pitch of the videos you process and avoid any sound distortions that can occur as the result of altering a video’s playback speed.

Pros

  • An interactive timeline simplifies the process of changing a video’s playback speed.
  • Complete control over the audio pitch
  • Videos can be slowed down to 1/16 of their original speed
  • Allows users to export videos in the square aspect ratio

Cons

  • No audio or video effects
  • Sharing files directly from the app is not an option

8. KineMaster

Price: Free, but offers in-app purchases

Supported OS: iOS 10.3 or later, Android 4.1 and up

KineMaster is one of thebest video editing apps for iOS and Android devices you can find on the market. That’s why it is hardly surprising that the app offers powerful tools that enable its users to create slow-motion videos and time-lapses.

In addition, KineMaster is equipped with EQ presets and audio editing tools you’re going to need to fix the original audio of the video clips you speed up or slow down. You can use this cross-platform app to edit, and export videos in 4K resolution, but all videos you process with the free version of KineMaster will be watermarked.

Pros

  • Precise video playback speed control
  • Advanced audio editing tools
  • Great selection of filters and visual effects
  • Excellent file-sharing capabilities

Cons

  • Requires at least basic video editing skills
  • More expensive than most video editing apps for iOS and Android devices

9. SpeedPro Slow Speed Video Edit

Supported OS: iOS 9.0 or later

speedpro slow speed video edit

Changing a video clip’s playback speed with this app is a simple three-step process. After you import a video clip into the app, you will be taken to the Adjust Speed screen, where you can choose if you want to alter the playback speed of an entire video clip or speed up or slow down a particular segment of a video.

Afterward, you have to drag the Video Speed slider to the left or to the right and the app will automatically adjust the speed of your video. When done, you can import an audio file from your phone and proceed to export the file to the camera roll or upload it to YouTube or Instagram.

Pros

  • Functional and intuitive interface
  • Effortless file importing process
  • Changing a video’s playback speed requires you to drag a slider
  • Solid file sharing options

Cons

  • Supports only a small number of video file formats
  • No video editing tools

10. iMovie

Price: Free

Supported OS: iOS 13.0 or later

You can change a video’s playback speed in iMovie even if you have never edited a video before. After you create a new project and import a video clip into the app, you have to tap on the Speed icon. A slider that enables you to reduce a video’s playback speed to 1/8 of its original speed or make it twice as fast will appear on the screen, so you can drag it left or right to set a new playback speed for your video.

If you are not happy with the results, you can tap on the Reset button, and iMovie will return the playback speed of your video clip to its normal value.

Pros

  • Free and easy playback speed adjustment process
  • The app is compatible with all iOS-based devices
  • Supports 4K video editing
  • Offers a wide range of video editing tools

Cons

  • Lacks the versatility of professional video editing apps
  • Audio editing options could be better

Still can’t decide which video editing app to use for changing video speed? I’ve made a comparison table, hoping that can help you decide.

Relax, you can always do another take – Don’t panic if at first, you have a tough time remembering your lines. Just relax, because the shot is going to look much better if you act naturally.

Less is more – Respect the time of your potential employers by keeping your video resume short. Video resumes that last between one and two minutes often produce the best results.

Don’t improvise, make a script – Put your ideas on paper, that will make them much easier to remember once the camera starts rolling.

Focus on what you’re good at – You have a limited amount of time to explain why you are the right candidate for the job, don’t waste that time on talking about your weaknesses.

Don’t forget your audience – Try to understand what the people who are going to watch the video like and what they don’t like. If you manage to do this, your video resume is going to grab the attention of its viewers.
