Lengthen video - here's what you need to watch out for

Numerous video editing programs help you trim your videos and shorten them. Most of the time, this can be done in just a few steps. However, if it is necessary to lengthen the video because perhaps the audio track is too long or you want to add more material, further adjustments are necessary.

How to extend a video

If you want to extend a video, then this is possible without any problems. However, you need much more steps than shortening the video. To extend the video, you can add opening or closing credits. If this is not possible, adjust the video playback rate.

1. To lengthen the video, you first need a free video editing program.
2. Download it and follow the installation.
3. Most programs already have a function that allows you to add opening or closing credits. Therefore, follow the instructions within the software to extend the video.
4. If a pre-credits or credits are too short or inappropriate, you can influence the length of the video via the playback rate.
5. To achieve this, you must first separate the audio track from the video track.
6. Then you can influence the playback rate via the slow motion function.
7. Alternatively, set a lower frame rate. Auch so wird die Abspielzeit des Videos in die Länge gezogen.
8. Wenn es das Video zulässt, lohnt sich das Einsetzen von Übergängen zwischen zwei Szenen.
