Is it possible to slow down (or speed up) a video played in VLC media player? If not, what free media players (if any) are able to reduce or speed up video play rate? I’m using Windows 7.
By default, the speed is set to twice normal speed (2x), but you can click any speed button. Set a custom speed for the selected part of the clip: Click the Speed pop-up menu, choose Custom, and type a number in the field.
The speed change is applied to the selected range, and speed sliders appear above the selected range and any areas of the clip outside the selected range. When you play back the clip, it begins playing at normal speed, then changes to the speed you set, then returns to normal speed again at the end of the clip.
To have the speed changes occur gradually, select the Smooth checkbox. To adjust the speed of the selected range or an area outside it, drag any of the three speed sliders at the top of the clip. By default, iMovie automatically slows down the speed of high-frame-rate clips when you add them to the, adjusting them to play back at the same speed as the rest of your movie. You can turn off this setting in.
High-frame-rate footage appears to play in slow motion when slowed to regular playback speed. If you have added high-frame-rate clips to your movie with the automatic slow-motion preference turned off, you can apply this setting to selected clips. In the timeline, select the clip whose frame rate you want to slow down. To show the speed controls, click the Speed button.
Click the Speed pop-up menu and choose Slow. Click the Auto button. The frame rate of the selected clip is adjusted to match the frame rate of the rest of the movie.

I Option click the QuickTime Player Fast Forward button to speed up playback a smidgeon. Open a video into QuickTime Player. QuickTime Player is in the Applications folder on all new Macs. If necessary, move your mouse over the video itself to call up the Controls. Click the Play/Pause button or press the Spacebar to start and stop the video. Click the Fast Forward or Rewind button once to double the playback or rewind speed. Click it again to change to 4x speed and again to change to 8x speed.
If you click the button again the video will go back to 2x speed. Click Pause and then Play to revert to 1x speed.
Or hold down the Command key and press the left or right arrow keys on the keyboard for the same effects. Each time you change speed the speed is displayed at top left of the video window, with an arrow showing direction of play. Naturally, both audio and video speed up. Hold down the Option key while clicking the Fast Forward or Rewind buttons (or using Command + arrow key) to instead increment the speed by a tenth of a point. For example, 4x becomes 4.1x, 4.2x and so on.
Use the left or right arrow keys without the Command key to step through the video frame by frame, but without sound. The right arrow key moves the video forwards, the left arrow key moves it in reverse. Press and hold the arrow keys to speed up the frame by frame stepping.
These are simple little tricks, but they can be really handy for speeding through a long-winded video or having the time to really analyse the detail in a single frame.
