Dronie
Speed-up video, the fast way.
A free way to turn a long video into a short, punchy clip, a drone-style hyperlapse made in seconds.
How it works
Pick a video. Drag two dividers to mark a beginning, a middle, and an end, the sped-up middle is marked in green, with a fast-forward arrow, so it's obvious which part gets the Dronie treatment. Dial in how fast the middle plays, 1×, 1.5×, 2×, and up, and Dronie keeps the beginning and end at normal speed while it sweeps through the middle as a smooth time-lapse. Prefer to aim for a final length instead? Set "Adjust with" to Total time in Settings and the same buttons set your target duration, with Dronie doing the speed math.
Got junk on the ends, pocket footage, the drone landing, a thumb over the lens? Tap the scissors to trim your clip down first. It's completely non-destructive, so you can get trimmed-away footage back any time.
Great for
- Hiking, biking, and driving footage, keep the dramatic start and finish, glide through the journey
- Cooking and craft videos, full speed for the setup and the reveal, hyperlapse the work
- Drone reveal shots, full speed for the takeoff and the reveal, time-lapse the flight in between
- Walk-throughs of a place or event, drone-style flyover energy without a drone
Features
- Built for speed, pick a video, drag two dividers, tap export
- Set the speed directly, pick how fast the middle plays, from 1× up to the fastest your clip allows
- Or aim for a length, switch the controls to set a target duration and let Dronie do the speed math
- Trim before you speed up, a full-screen scissors view crops junk off the ends, completely non-destructive
- Sound all the way through, audio is kept across the whole clip, at natural pitch, even on the sped-up middle, or mute it with one tap
- A speed that eases in and out, the middle ramps up at the first divider and back down at the second instead of jumping
- Preview before you export, tap the video to play the dronie at its real speeds, with the playhead running along the timeline
- Trim freely, shrink the intro or outro to nothing, or skip the speed-up entirely
