Drop Segments

In CaseGuard, you can create a fast-motion effect with the Drop Segment tool.

The Drop Segment tool changes the playback speed of a clip by removing select frames, thus shortening your media segment’s duration.

The duration is the total length of time a video plays from its first frame to its last frame.
