Speed Up Apple ProRes

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You have 1 free hour of transcription per month. No credit card is required.

2) Upload your video to Descript by dragging and dropping it into the project window.

3) Once upload has finished, head to the "Layer" option on the right-hand panel and adjust the speed of your clips under "Duration". You can drag left and right in the "Speed" and "Duration" boxes or — for more precise control — simply type in any multiplier.

4) Share the optimized clip by clicking on Publish and selecting the "Export" button to post it or download the Apple ProRes file to your desired location.
