TIMEWARP VIDEO SPEED

You can increase TimeWarp video speed up to 30x to turn longer activities into shareable moments. The default setting is Auto, which automatically sets the speed for you.

You can also set the speed yourself. Use this chart to estimate the length of your videos. For example, recording at 2x speed for 4 minutes will give you about 2 minutes of TimeWarp video.
