Because Reels can be made up of multiple clips, you may repeat this process as many times as you would like, even using different speed settings for each clip, until you are happy with the finished product. Note that your chosen speed affects both the video and the audio of your clip.
Search “InShot” on the App Store (iPhone/iPad) or Google Play Store (Android), and install the app entitled Video Editor & Maker - InShot. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can also use the iMovie app to increase the speed of your video clip before uploading it to a Reel. Check out our guide on speeding up video clips in iMovie.

InShot also allows for “Curve” editing, in which you can set several checkpoints throughout the video and adjust the speed in between each point.
InShot may also ask you to enable notifications before continuing.
