Video Speed Adjustment

Adjust video playback speed using each::sense. This skill enables speed manipulation for creative effects including slow motion, time-lapse, hyperlapse, speed ramping, reverse playback, and frame interpolation for ultra-smooth slow-mo.

Features

• Slow Motion: Reduce playback speed (0.25x to 0.75x) for dramatic effect
• Speed Up: Accelerate video (1.5x to 4x) for quick recaps
• Time-Lapse: Extreme speed increase (8x to 20x) for long processes
• Hyperlapse: Stabilized time-lapse with motion smoothing
• Frame Interpolation: AI-generated frames for smooth slow motion
• Speed Ramp: Variable speed within a single clip
• Reverse Playback: Play video backwards
• High FPS Output: 60fps or 120fps output for smooth playback

Best Practices

Slow Motion

• Source Frame Rate: Higher source FPS (60fps, 120fps) produces better slow motion
• Frame Interpolation: Use AI interpolation for smooth results from 30fps sources
• Output FPS: Request 60fps output for smooth playback on modern displays
• Avoid Extreme Slow-Mo: Going below 0.25x may produce artifacts

Speed Up / Time-Lapse

• Audio Handling: Remove audio for extreme speed-ups (4x+) or use pitch correction
• Motion Blur: Add slight motion blur for smoother fast-forward appearance
• Stabilization: Apply stabilization for handheld footage before speed-up

Speed Ramps

• Smooth Transitions: Request gradual speed changes over 0.5-2 seconds
• Mark Key Moments: Describe which parts should be slow vs fast
• Audio Sync: Consider how speed changes affect audio/music sync

Quality Tips

• Mode Selection: Use max for final exports, eco for previews
• Resolution: Higher resolution sources produce better results
• Compression: Request high bitrate output for quality retention

Mode Selection

Prompt Tips for Speed Adjustment

When requesting speed adjustments, include these details:

1. Speed Factor: Specify exact multiplier (0.5x, 2x, 10x)
2. Frame Interpolation: Request if needed for smooth slow motion
3. Output FPS: Specify desired frame rate (30fps, 60fps, 120fps)
4. Audio Handling: Keep, remove, pitch correct, or reverse
5. Transitions: For speed ramps, describe how transitions should feel
6. Quality Priority: Mention if smoothness or detail is more important

Example Prompt Structure

"[Speed effect] this video to [speed factor].
[Frame interpolation requirement].
Output at [fps] for [use case].
[Audio handling instruction].
[Additional quality requirements]."

Error Handling

Technical Notes

• Client Timeout: Set HTTP client timeout to minimum 10 minutes for video processing
• Video Length: Longer videos take proportionally more time to process
• Frame Interpolation: Adds processing time but dramatically improves slow motion quality
• Maximum Speed: Practical range is 0.1x to 20x depending on source footage
