To make a video slow motion, you can follow these general steps using various tools or software, many of which are available online for free:

How to Make a Slow Motion Video

• Upload your video to a video editor or slow motion tool. This can be an online platform like Canva, Adobe Express, VEED, or Kapwing, or software like Movie Studio Platinum or Premiere Pro

• Select the part of the video you want to slow down if you don't want the entire clip in slow motion. You can cut or trim the video to isolate the segment

• Adjust the speed by slowing down the video using a speed slider or input. Most tools let you slow down the video to a fraction of the original speed, such as 0.5x (half speed) or even slower like 0.25x. This creates the slow motion effect

• Preview the slow motion effect and fine-tune the speed as needed. Some editors allow you to add keyframes for dynamic slow motion effects or apply transitions and filters to enhance the video

• Mute or adjust audio if slowing down the video affects the sound quality; many editors offer the option to mute or edit the audio track

• Export or download the edited slow motion video in your preferred resolution and format. Online tools often allow direct sharing to social media or downloading without watermarks

Tools You Can Use

• Canva : Upload your video, use the speed slider to slow down, add filters or music, then download

• Adobe Express : Upload video, choose slow speed, trim if needed, mute audio if desired, and download

• VEED : Upload video, click to select, adjust speed to slow motion, and export

• Movie Studio Platinum : Import video, cut the slow motion section, apply speed effect by moving slider left, then export

• Premiere Pro : Right-click clip, select Speed/Duration, set speed percentage based on frame rate ratio for smooth slow motion

• Kapwing : Drag and drop video, adjust speed slider to slow motion, export in high quality

Tips

• For smooth slow motion, footage shot at a high frame rate (e.g., 60fps or 120fps) works best because slowing it down retains fluid motion without choppiness

• If the video looks choppy after slowing down, it might be due to a low original frame rate

• You can create dramatic slow motion effects by slowing down key moments like action scenes or emotional highlights to emphasize details

This approach lets you easily create slow motion videos for storytelling, sports highlights, or artistic effects using free online tools or professional software depending on your needs and skill level.
