Overview

CaseGuard Studio makes it easy to adjust the playback speed of your video so you can create fast-motion or slow-motion effects for export. Whether you need to review footage in slow motion for accuracy or speed up lengthy recordings for presentation, the Change Speed tool gives you full control over timing while preserving audio and video quality.

Use Case Example

Suppose you’re redacting a long surveillance video and want to quickly review sections where no motion occurs. You can use Change Speed to double the playback speed for those parts, helping you complete your review faster. Conversely, you can slow down a key section to clearly show a specific event during an internal report or evidence submission.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In CaseGuard Studio, navigate to the video you’d like to speed up or slow down.

  2. On the left vertical toolbar, click Tools > Video > Change Speed.

    Export-FoSM1

  3. In the Change Speed section (below the timeline), type your preferred speed in the Speed field.

    • You can also use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the speed precisely.

      Export-FoSM2

  4. (Optional) Under Reasons, add an exemption or reason if required for documentation or reporting purposes.

  5. Set the Start and End times for your speed adjustment.

    • You can manually enter times or use the up and down arrows to fine-tune them.

      Export-FoSM3

    • Or play the video, click Start, then click End where you’d like the speed change to stop.

      Export-FoSM4

  6. You can create multiple sections of varied speeds (faster or slower) throughout your video.

  7. You can also:

    • Press and hold while playing the video to temporarily change speed on specific segments.

      Export-FoSM5

    • Highlight over the audio waveform, right-click, and select Change Speed.

      Export-FoSM6

    • Extend or reduce the purple highlighted segments to adjust duration.

      Export-FoSM7

    • Click a purple segment to edit start and end times directly in the fields for precise control.

Tip: The purple segments on the audio wave represent areas where you’ve changed the speed.

Tip: Double-clicking a purple segment on the audio wave will remove the selected adjustment.

  1. Once you’ve made all desired adjustments, click Export to save your video.

  2. The exported file will reflect your chosen speed changes, resulting in a fast-motion or slow-motion version.

Conclusion

The Change Speed feature in CaseGuard Studio provides a simple and flexible way to adjust video playback speed and export the result. By customizing specific time segments, you can produce professional-quality fast-motion or slow-motion exports without leaving CaseGuard. This tool saves time and enhances the precision of your redaction and review workflows.
