It's easy to speed up a video on your iPhone - or return a Slo-Mo video to normal speed - using the iMovie or Photos apps, respectively.
- You can speed up a video on your iPhone in two different ways.
- If you want to speed up video recorded at normal speed, you'll need to install Apple's free iMovie app, which lets you speed up or slow down any video.
- If you want to speed up a slow-motion video, you can edit Slo-Mo video in the Photos app on your iPhone, where you can speed up the slow-motion section back to normal speed or remove it entirely.

3. On the Projects page, tap the plus sign to start a new movie.
4. On the New Projects pop-up, tap "Movie."
5. Find the video that you want to speed up, and then tap it. Then tap "Create Movie" at the bottom of the screen.

How to return a slow-motion video on your iPhone to normal speed
1. Start the Photos app and tap "Albums" at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap "Slo-Mo" to see the list of videos you shot in slow motion, then choose a video that you want to speed up.
3. Tap "Edit" at the top of the screen.
4. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see the video timeline. The dashes that are tightly spaced represent normal speed video, and dashes that are further apart represent the part of the video that's in slow motion. The slow-motion section has slightly larger drag bars at either end.

You can see and edit the slow-motion section of a Slo-Mo video in the Photos app.
5. To return the video to full speed, put your finger on the first drag bar on the left and drag it to the right, pulling full-speed video all the way to the end of the video. The slow-motion section should disappear.
Dave Johnson/Business Insider
To eliminate the slow motion in a video, drag the start of the slo-mo section to the right, so the whole video is normal speed.
6. Tap "Done."
Your video is now saved at full speed, but you can always come back later and use the drag bars to restore slow motion anywhere in the video if you want to.
