Even though 2× speed followed by 0.5× brings timing back to normal, the audio has already been resampled and interpolated twice, introducing quantisation error, phase distortion, and lossy compression artefacts. Because these transformations aren’t perfectly reversible, the signal degrades and sounds warped even at the original speed.

As someone who watched this video in 2x speed, you lost me

When you double the speed of the video you’re basically deleting half of the frames in your video, and when you try to slow it back down, you can’t just add those frames back in, instead, you show each frame for more time (double), which effects how you’re video looks and sounds

You lost data when you sped it up

To go 2x speed you have to remove half of the “frames” of audio. Then slowing it back down, you’re still missing that audio you already removed, which makes it sound different

moazrofl :
speeding a video up/slowing it down works by removing/adding frames to it. when you sped your video up it removed half your frames and when you played it again the original frames werent there thats why its sounds so choppy/doubled

Imagine taking every other pixel out of an image, cutting the images length in half. Then you stretch the image back to its original length. You don’t now have the same image because there was data lost when you cut the length in half

If you just leave it at 1x speed, it will sound normal like how you want it to sound. Hope that helps 😁

compression, in 2x the audio the audio gets compressed then when you go to 0.5x it's missing data to sound normal again

Imagine it like this. You build a Lego car, someone takes it apart and tries to build it really fast, they would probably miss out on a couple things or add things somewhere. It’s like that if you think about it. When you speed up the video and slow it down, the computer needs to try rebuild the original voice and can add things or miss out on a couple things.

Same reason video will get choppy when you slow it down. Lost information. A low quality MP3 will kind of do the same thing.

Same reason if you take a photo, compress it, and then try to make it full res again

The speed change algorithm is also running a pitch preservation algorithm so you don't sound like a chipmunk. This is where the reverb issues are introduced

I think its because of how the speeding up and slowing down works, cuz I tiktok for example when you put it in 2x it modifies the sound so it wont get pitched up, and I assume that is causing problems
