About Velocity - Universal Video Speed Controller

Velocity - Universal Video Speed Controller is the ultimate high-performance playback controller designed for power users who want absolute mastery over their media consumption. Speed up, slow down, rewind, or advance HTML5 audio and video across virtually any platform on the web with zero latency. Unlike outdated controllers that break on modern websites, Velocity features a resilient Injection Engine with Shadow DOM traversal β€” allowing it to hook video elements nested deep inside encapsulated custom players and single-page applications without requiring manual reloads. Enjoy seamless speed adjustments on YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Twitch, and educational platforms. Since Netflix's built-in speed controller limits you to a maximum of 1.5x in 0.25x increments, Velocity lets you go beyond that β€” with fine-grained steps as small as 0.05x, all the way up to 16x. Velocity provides full compatibility for complex social feeds where transparent overlays intercept pointer events and break traditional controllers, including Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit. πŸš€ PREMIUM FEATURES & CAPABILITIES: β€’ Input-Safe Hotkeys & Shortcuts: Custom-map keyboard keys to slow down, speed up, rewind, advance, or toggle controls. Our smart typing detection ensures hotkeys never fire when you are typing comments or search queries. β€’ Floating Speed HUD: A frosted-glass heads-up display appears over any video on hover, showing your live playback speed alongside instant controls for speed adjustment, rewind, and skip β€” updates in real time whether you use mouse or keyboard. β€’ Mouse-Wheel Speed Control: Hover the floating controller and scroll to fine-tune playback speed on the fly β€” no clicks required. β€’ Micro-Precision Increments: Exceed native player limits by adjusting speed in ultra-fine increments β€” 0.05x, 0.1x, 0.25x, or 0.5x β€” to match your exact listening or learning pace. β€’ Intelligent Auto-Start & Enforced Speed: Set a preferred default speed applied automatically to every new video element. Standard content scripts lose control when platforms dynamically reload or reset video speeds. Velocity locks your playback rate, preventing custom site scripts from overriding your preferences. β€’ Per-Site Speed Memory: Optionally let each website resume the exact speed you last used there β€” one pace for long talks, another for quick clips β€” while brand-new sites start at your chosen default. β€’ Sleek Glassmorphism Dashboard: A gorgeous dark-mode popup center to adjust speed, toggle parameters, and configure custom defaults. β€’ Picture-in-Picture Friendly: Set your playback speed first, then pop the video into Chrome's Picture-in-Picture window β€” it keeps playing at the pace you chose. β€’ Security Camera Footage Review: Speed through hours of home camera recording history on platforms with no native browser playback speed control β€” including Google Home and Wyze (tested and validated) β€” jump to the moment you need in seconds. (Note: No speed control when viewing live realtime video) β€’ Domain Exclusions: Disable Velocity on specific sites β€” add the site you're on with one tap, and a clear toolbar indicator shows at a glance when the controller is paused. β€’ Absolute Privacy & Zero Bloat: 100% private, sandbox-persisted, and zero tracker overhead. No user tracking, no third-party analytics, and minimal background memory footprint. ⌨️ DEFAULT KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: Open any website containing a video player and use these default global hotkeys to take instant control: β€’ S β€” Slow down playback (by -0.1x) β€’ D β€” Speed up playback (by +0.1x) β€’ R β€” Reset to 1.0x (toggles with your last active rate) β€’ Z β€” Rewind video (by 10 seconds) β€’ X β€” Fast forward video (by 10 seconds) β€’ G β€” Jump to your custom preset β€’ V β€” Show or hide the speed overlay Don't like the defaults? Click the Velocity icon in your browser toolbar to re-map hotkeys, adjust step sizes, manage domain rules, and reset everything to defaults.
