1Have you tried PiTiVi? It is included by default in Ubuntu.– pl1nkJun 2, 2012 at 19:17

Avidemux
(has GUI for both GTK and QT). (see Video->Frame Rate in application menu)
You could also try Virtualdub
Sorry for that last comment it was the wrong link. Also take a look at this to see if it helps.

Just use ffmpeg - GUI programs always get outdated almost instantly
ffmpeg -i [input video] -filter:v "setpts=[RATIO]*PTS" [output video]
Here you have to replace [RATIO] with the number you get by dividing the duration (in seconds) of the output video with the duration of the input video. So if your traffic video original file is named traffic.webm and you want to name your output traffic-timelapse.webm the command would be (note that 30/(60*60) = 0.0008333 ):
ffmpeg -i traffic.webm -filter:v "setpts=0.0008333*PTS" traffic-timelapse.webm

What does -filter:v does? I have avconv, and it's pretty similar, but I haven't found this option in the documentation. In the end, I have a video where the video goes faster, but not the sound, and the "total time" displayed by VLC is the same as the input.– RodrigoMar 12, 2017 at 18:53
Kdenlive also has a video speed effect.

2@DracNoc I recommend editing this answer to provide more information, or at least a link, for information about how to install Kdenlive and how to use its video speed effect. Oct 2, 2012 at 11:39

1Under Effects -> Motion -> Speed you can set a speedup: userbase.kde.org/Kdenlive/Manual/Effects/Motion/Speed– TullyJan 3, 2015 at 8:13
You could use slowmoVideo
for the purpose.
The description of the software from their site:
"slowmoVideo is an OpenSource program that creates slow-motion videos from your footage. But it does not simply make your videos play at 0.01× speed. You can smoothly slow down and speed up your footage, optionally with motion blur."
You can find the latest Ubuntu build of this application at:

@Jakob, Yes that's true. But as the application's description clearly says, it can also be used to
speed up the footage
