I guess this reveals how fucking dumb I am. I can’t get the math to make sense in my head. If you watch at 1.25 speed, logically (or illogically I guess) I assume that this makes the video 1/4 shorter, but that isn’t correct.
In short, could someone reexplain how fractions and decimals work? Lol
Edit: thank you all, I understand now. You helped me reorient my thinking.

You need to turn the fractions upside down to how you are thinking about them. The speed is in relation to x1.00 speed, so you divide _into_ 1.00.
1.00 speed is 100% speed, so
– At x1.25 speed this is 100%÷1.25 = 80%
– At x1.50 speed this is 100%÷1.50 = 66.66%
– At x2 speed this is 100%÷2 = 50%
Hopefully the last one is intuitive — if you watch something at twice is speed it takes half as long to watch.
