What is fast motion?

Fast motion is a video editing technique where a video is sped up, making actions appear quicker than they actually occurred. This effect is achieved by recording at a normal frame rate and then playing it back faster or by capturing fewer frames per second (FPS) than the playback speed.

Fast motion is commonly used to:

  • Show the passage of time 
  • Create a sense of urgency or energy
  • Compress lengthy activities into a shorter, more engaging sequence.

Can I speed up videos in Riverside's editor?

Yes, by turning off "set pace" in Magic Clip. Set pace refers to cutting all the pauses, gaps, and silences identified in your recording.

When generating a Magic Clip, set pace, is automatically applied to make your content feel faster-paced and more engaging. However, you can easily adjust it or entirely remove it from the clip in the Editor.
