Add Change Speed for All Players in More → Customize Home Bottom Buttons. Use compatible local videos and turn off Lock and Synchronized playback when adjusting a single pane independently. Advanced actions may require Premium. Screenshots show the English interface on an iPhone 17 Pro simulator.

Tap a video’s speed gauge to cycle its rate and open Video Speed. Use Change Speed for All Players in the bottom toolbar to set every player to a common rate.

Find the individual speed control

Tap a video to reveal its controls. The gauge and value belong to that pane; the upper video starts at 1× in this example.

Temporary speed controls

The toolbar also offers Long-Press Fast Forward and Long-Press Slow Motion. These apply while held and restore the previous rate when released. Disable synchronization before using them; the temporary multiplier depends on your settings.

Viewing speed and exported files

Changing playback speed does not create a new file. Use the separate split-screen exporter and check its timing settings when you need an output video.

Frequently asked questions

Why did another pane’s speed change too?

Check Lock and Synchronized playback. Linked controls can propagate a single-pane change; turn them off for independent adjustment.

How do I keep a different speed?

Use the individual gauge or the global speed action for a sustained change. Temporary long-press controls return to the earlier rate when released.
