# Controlling the Speed of Objects

You can control the speed of an object along its motion path with the Speed channel. The speed adjustments do not affect the motion path itself. For objects where you control position explicitly, such as the position of media in Action, you can still control speed by manipulating position keyframe tangent handles on the animation curves in the Channel Editor.
