When you speed up or slow down, does it change the pitch?
This is a common question that many customers ask when editing videos, especially with music or audio included. It's a valid concern, as changes in speed can often affect the overall quality of the sound, and thus impact the viewer's experience.
At its most basic level, pitch refers to the frequency of a sound wave, measured in Hertz (Hz). The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch, while lower frequencies produce lower pitches. This is why a musical note played on a piano sounds different from the same note played on a guitar or a trumpet.
When you speed up or slow down a piece of audio, you're also changing its frequency. If you speed up the audio, the frequency increases, resulting in a higher pitch, while slowing it down decreases the frequency and lowers the pitch.
However, there's more to it than just a simple change in frequency. When audio is played faster or slower, it can also affect the timing and rhythm of the piece. A fast-paced song played at a slower speed might sound sluggish or out of sync, while a slow ballad played at a faster speed might lose its emotional impact.
Luckily, advanced technologies such as those employed in OneTake's A.I. video editing software have made it easier than ever to adjust speed and pitch without sacrificing quality.
