Frequently Asked Questions

  • Create a slow motion video by accessing our free online video editor on the app or a web browser. Adjust the playback speed of your clip using a simple slider or typing a custom speed. Our slow motion video maker is available on both desktop and mobile, so you can edit your videos seamlessly from one device to another.
  • Slow motion captures a moment in time and freezes it. It adds a sense of drama to a scene and allows viewers to see more detail than they would if the video were played at regular speed. You can use slow motion for many purposes, from showing action-packed scenes in sports broadcasts to moments of tension in a film, or highlighting details about a product that might otherwise have been missed.
  • Slow motion editing plays a clip at a slower frame rate than captured. In essence, each frame becomes "extended" to lengthen the time they're played. If a video is shot at a low frame rate, this leads to more grains and pixelation. If you're planning to slow down a video, it's best to shoot at your highest frame rate. You may also explore video-enhancing tools to bump up the quality of your clips. But remember that results may vary, and your output may not be as crisp as you would like.
