# Change export speed (download your video sped up or slowed down)

> Speed up or slow down the MP4 you download. Export a faster-than-1x version of your video without editing.

You can change the export speed of your video to be slow or fast. The downloaded MP4 plays at the speed you pick, no editing required. If you're looking to create a timelapse, check out [this help guide](/docs/help/export-videos/timelapse-video "/help/export-videos/timelapse-video").

<Note>
  Changing the export speed requires an active **paid plan**. It isn't available during a free trial.
</Note>

<Tip>
  You can also change the speed of any local video with Tella's [free video speed changer](/docs/help/export-videos/change-video-speed-for-free). It does not require an account.
</Tip>

1. Open the video you'd like to speed up/slow down

2. Click on "Download"

3. Under **Speed**, choose **Faster/slower**, then pick a rate under **Playback speed** (0.5x up to 2.5x)

4. Click "Download video"

Your video will be downloaded shortly at your desired speed.
