A slider is the first tool in the speed controls, which may be used to fast or slow a video.

iMovie can double the Speed of your video, which means it may be sped up to twice its average rate. On the right, the slider will display ‘1x’ to indicate the average Speed at first. To increase the Speed, drag the slider to the right until you reach your desired Speed.

The video can be accelerated to ‘2x’.
