A 1-hour lecture at 2x speed takes 30 minutes. A fast tutorial at 0.5x speed becomes followable. Changing video speed is one of the most useful editing operations, and you should not need to install software for it.

Speed Up vs Time-Lapse
Speed up keeps the audio (pitch-corrected). Time-lapse drops frames and removes audio. For content where you need to hear the speaker, use speed up. For visual-only content (construction, painting, cooking), time-lapse produces smaller files.
Change video speed - free, instant, with pitch correction.
