Open toolFrequently Asked Questions
How long does a 2 hour video take at 1.5x speed?
A 2-hour (120 minute) video watched at 1.5x speed will take exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes (80 minutes) to watch in real-time.
Is it effective to watch lectures at 2x speed?
It depends on the density of the material. Studies suggest comprehension drops slightly at 2x speed for complex topics, but 1.25x to 1.5x is often the sweet spot for retaining information while saving time.
How is the time calculated?
The formula is simply: Total Original Minutes / Playback Speed = Real Watch Time.
