Troubleshooting
I don't see the Speed control
Make sure you've clicked directly on a clip to select it. The Settings panel updates based on what's selected. If nothing is selected, the speed option won't appear.
The speed slider isn't moving
Speed can only be set between 0.5x and 3x. Values outside that range aren't supported.
