For illustrators and digital artists
Turn an hours-long drawing session into a watchable speed-paint.
You recorded the whole illustration — sketch, block-in, hours of rendering. An auto time-lapse flattens it all into one blur. Speedup fast-forwards only the slow stretches and keeps the moments worth watching at full speed.
An auto time-lapse speeds up everything — including the parts people came to see.
Procreate’s time-lapse and a blanket 2× treat the first sketch line and three hours of texturing exactly the same. The reveal, the linework, the color drop — the moments your viewers actually want — fly by with everything else. What a process video needs is different speeds in different places.
Three steps. One file. Five minutes.
- 01
Open your recording
Drop in the screen recording or the clip you exported — .mp4, .mov, or .m4v. It plays right away — no import, no project file.
- 02
Mark the slow stretches and pick a speed
Drag across the long rendering and detailing passes and give each one 2×, 4×, 8×, or 16×. Sped-up sections are muted automatically, so your music or voiceover stays clean.
- 03
Export one .mp4
Trim the ends, press Export, and get a single full-resolution .mp4 — ready for YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok.
Speed up the grind — keep the linework, the reveal, the color drop.
A single speed across the whole piece either buries the good moments or drags through the boring ones. Speedup is built for variable speed: each rendering pass gets its own speed, and the moments worth watching play normally, with their audio intact.
A few common questions
Will it speed up the whole drawing or just parts?
Just the parts you mark. The sketch, the linework, the reveal — anything you want at full speed stays there; only the long rendering passes get sped up.
How is this different from Procreate's time-lapse?
A time-lapse speeds everything up uniformly and you can't choose what stays slow. Speedup gives each stretch its own speed, so the moments worth watching play at full speed and the grind flies by.
What happens to my music or voiceover?
Sped-up sections are muted, so your audio over the normal-speed parts stays clean — no chipmunk effect.
What can I open?
Any recording — .mp4, .mov, or .m4v — whether it's a screen recording of Photoshop or Procreate or a clip exported from your tablet.
Do my files stay private?
Completely. Nothing is uploaded; your recordings never leave your Mac.
