How to make a video in slow motion on an iPhone
All iPhone models, starting with the iPhone 5s, support a slow-mo video option. Technically, this means recording a video with a higher FPS (frame per second). You can set up this parameter in camera settings; the exact location depends on the device model. Just open your cam, choose the "SLO-MO" option, and select the needed FPS. iPhones with iOS 13 or higher can shoot such recordings even with the front camera.
While you can do slow motion on your iPhone "from scratch", making a normal video slow motion is more challenging. Luckily, you don't need any fancy and costly software or complicated applications, as this editing action can be easily performed with the help of free online tools, such as Clideo's Video Editor.
With its user-friendly interface and a broad range of features, Clideo's Video Editor is a versatile tool accessible to all. It's the perfect choice for creating video projects from scratch and editing existing recordings. The editor accepts a variety of inputs, including less common video and audio formats, and works online without the need for registration or sign-in.
Here is a brief and to-the-point manual on how to slow down a video on an iPhone in three steps.
Upload the video
Open Clideo's Video Editor in your browser and tap the "Get started" button.
Upload your recording by hitting the plus icon at the bottom left in the "Media" tab. You can also import the file from various cloud storage accounts.
Turn the video into slow motion
You will see your video in the timeline and in the preview screen.
Tap the video thumbnail in the timeline and open the "Speed" tab. Then, slow the recording down or speed it up, if necessary. You can change its speed rate from x0.25 to x4 using the speed presets or drag the slider to find the value you need
You can also edit your project in other ways: add more assets, use built-in stock libraries, combine it with music or voiceover, change its aspect ratio, or alter the whole project or its parts in different ways.
Save the result
When you have what you need, hit the "Export" icon at the top right and choose the output resolution. If you need better quality or Clideo's watermark bothers you, consider upgrading your subscription to Clideo Pro.
Then, save the processed video to your iPhone or import it to the cloud.
If you prefer using dedicated apps rather than browser-based services, you can achieve the same editing results using Clideo's Video Editor app for iPhone.
