Make special moments last longer

There are moments so incredible that we wish they could last longer.

For those times, using our AI slow-motion filter can help you relive those special moments in beautiful detail.

The quality of a slowed-down video is significantly affected by the original video's FPS (frames per second) and the degree of slow-down applied.

A high-FPS video (over 60 FPS) slowed down by half will generally maintain good quality. However, a 24 FPS video slowed down by 2x will likely appear choppy and stutter.

While high-quality slow motion is easily achievable with high-FPS video, it's more challenging with lower FPS footage. In such cases, we recommend using the Slow Motion filter, as it will slow down the video smoothly even if the original FPS is low.

Here are rough guidelines:

  • 120FPS, x2 slow down → no need for Slow Motion filter

  • 60FPS, x2 slow down → no need for Slow Motion filter

  • 30FPS, x2 slow down → apply Slow Motion filter

  • 25FPS, x2 slow down → apply Slow Motion filter

  • 20FPS, x2 slow down → apply Slow Motion filter

You can check the video frame rate on the uploaded videos page before you apply this filter.
