Sometimes the action in a video just happens too fast for us to truly process what we are witnessing. That is why slow motion is commonly used in sports to help referees make accurate calls about what happened when it all happened so fast. Making a slow-mo video is a great way to observe the action in your footage without missing anything. With an easy-to-use video editing software such as VideoPad, you can slow down the speed of any video to make your own slow-motion movies and videos.
Changing the Speed of Your Clip
Making a slow-motion video really just means that you have adjusted the speed of your footage to playback slower than in real-time. To change the speed of your entire video clip so that it can be viewed in slow motion, start by dragging your clip into the timeline. From there it is as simple as right-clicking anywhere on that clip and then select the option that says "Change Clip Speed..." This will open the Speed Change window where you can adjust the speed and duration of your video clip.Change Clip Speed |
Clip speed is commonly represented as a percentage in video editing. By default, your video will have a speed of 100% That is to say that 100% is real-time playback, viewed exactly as it occurred. Anything less than that will be slower than real-time and anything greater will be faster. A good place to start for slow-motion videos is by cutting your clip's speed in half to 50% Once you have changed the speed of your clip in the Speed Change window, click on the Set button and your change will be applied. If you find that you want your video to be even slower you can always repeat these steps and set the speed (%) even lower.
Making Only a Section of a Video Slow Motion

its good - but it ends up being a jerky slow motion, shame there isn't a setting to make the end result of slow motion more fluid
