The velocity edit is the fast-slow-fast effect you see on dance and bike Reels: the clip speeds up, drops into slow motion on the beat, then speeds up again. It looks advanced, but the free VN app has everything you need built in. This guide shows you how to make it from scratch, synced to your song.

What you need

• The free VN Video Editor app.
• A clip with movement: a dance step, a hair flip, a bike pass or a turn. Clips shot at 60fps give the smoothest slow motion.
• A song with a strong drop or beat.

How to make the velocity edit in VN

1. Add your clip and your music to a new 9:16 project.
2. Play the song and mark the main beats on the music track.
3. Select the clip and open Speed, then choose the Curve option (speed ramp).
4. Shape the curve so the speed is high before the beat, drops low exactly on the beat, and goes high again after it. Line the low points up with your beat markers.
5. Turn on smooth / frame blending if your version of VN offers it, for cleaner slow motion.
6. Add a light zoom-in on each beat and a short flash or shake transition for extra punch.
7. Export in 1080p and post with the same song.

Pro tips

• Put the slow part on the most interesting moment of the move (the jump, the turn, the flip).
• Keep it short: 6–12 seconds with 2–3 slow drops is enough.
• If the slow motion stutters, shoot at 60fps next time or use a lower slow-down.

FAQs

Why does my slow motion look choppy?

Normal 30fps video doesn’t have enough frames. Shoot at 60fps, or don’t slow down below about 0.5x.

Can I copy someone’s velocity preset?

If a creator shares their VN project code, you can import it, but making your own curve takes only a few minutes and fits your exact song.

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. VN has the speed curve feature on both.

The 3 layer edit shows the same clip three times on one screen, stacked top to bottom, and it pops in beat by beat. It’s one of the most searched VN edits, and most people look for a “VN code” to copy it. The truth is, you can build it yourself in about five minutes in the free VN app, and then change it any way you like. Here’s how.

What you need

• The free VN Video Editor app (Android or iPhone).
• One vertical video clip of yourself, 5–10 seconds long.
• A trending audio with a clear beat.

How to make the 3 layer edit in VN

1. Start a new project in VN with your clip on the main track and set the ratio to 9:16.
2. Add your music, then mark the beats (VN lets you add beat markers on the music track) so you know where each layer should appear.
3. Add the same clip again as an overlay / picture-in-picture layer. Do this twice, so you have three copies in total.
4. Resize each copy to one-third of the screen height and place them top, middle and bottom.
5. Trim the start of the 2nd and 3rd layers so they appear on the 2nd and 3rd beat, one after the other.
6. Optional: add a quick zoom or fade-in animation to each layer for a smoother pop-in.
7. Export in 1080p and post it as a Reel with the same audio.

Pro tips

• Use a clip with plain background so the three layers look clean.
• Try different colour filters on each layer (normal, black and white, warm) for a creative twist.
• Keep the total edit under 10 seconds; short loops get more replays.

FAQs

Do I need a VN template code for this?

No. A VN code only copies someone else’s project. Building it yourself takes a few minutes, and you can then save it as your own template to reuse.

Can I do this in CapCut instead?

Yes. The same idea works with the overlay feature in CapCut or any editor that supports multiple video layers.

Why is my exported video blurry?

Export at 1080p and upload through the Instagram app with “Upload at highest quality” turned on in settings.
