What if I record a footage of light than fast forward it, wouldn't it be faster than light?

No. Nice thinking, though.
Actually, you cannot record a beam of light on video. Cameras work by capturing light. If no light enters a camera, it won't capture anything. So, when you try capturing a beam of light, your camera won't see it unless that beam enters your camera.Even if you do capture light as moving, fast forwarding the video would create something faster than the speed of light. But guess what, that would not contradict special relativity at all because the captured light ray would not make any influence in the direction in which it's moving, and thus, information would still not travel at a speed greater than that of light.
