2. Accessibility

Google Photos can be accessed from a web browser, Google Drive desktop program, and smartphone app. While you can make only minor changes to the videos such as editing date, time, and location when accessing Google Photos via a web browser, the smartphone app allows you to edit the clips comparatively more sophisticatedly.

How to Make Video Slow Motion? [Complete Guide]

Slow-motion videos are in trend now, especially when shooting for Instagram Reels , TikTok videos, or YouTube Shorts . While many users record the entire video in slow motion, there are others who need only a particular section of a clip to play at a reduced speed. Nevertheless, slowing down footage is no longer rocket science, thanks to the advancements in technology, and the availability and ease of access to relevant apps.

That said, here you will learn what is needed to record a video in slow motion, and how to get the job done in a simple way. In addition, you will also learn how to reduce the playback speed of an already existing video if it was recorded at a normal pace.

03 When to Use Slow Motion?

Part 1: How to Make Slow Motion Videos via Recording?

The fact is, the playback speed of a video is inversely proportional to the frames per second (FPS) it has been recorded in. Usually, to have a video play at normal speed, it is recorded at 24 FPS or 30 FPS. On the other hand, if you increase the frame rate (FPS) to 120 or 240, the playback speed slows down. You can easily check this if you have access to a DSLR camera or an iPhone. These devices allow you to adjust the FPS so the videos can be recorded in slow motion.

For your convenience and learning, the step-by-step procedure on how to record a video in slow motion using an iPhone is explained below:

Step 1: Get to the SLO-MO Mode

Launch the Camera app on your iPhone (iPhone 13 Pro Max is used here for illustrations), and swipe the screen to the left to get to the SLO-MO mode.

Step 2: Adjust Recording Preferences

Tap the number at the top-right corner to switch between 120 FPS and 240 FPS as needed. Tap 1x from the lower-middle section of the screen, and use the rotator to adjust your preferred zoom level.

Step 3: Start and Stop Recording

Tap the Record button from the bottom-center of the screen to begin recording the video in slow motion. Tap Stop when you are done. You can access the recorded video from the Videos container of the Photos app in your iPhone.

Place the skimmer on the frame where you want to freeze the video for a while, and click Add Freeze Frame from the left of the Speed Ramping window. When the time box appears, in the Freeze Time field, enter the duration in seconds you want to freeze the screen for, and click OK.

After adding a freeze point, optionally, you can drag and reposition it in the Speed Ramping timeline as needed. Finally, click OK from the bottom-right area to save the changes.

Part 3: When to Use Slow Motion?

There could be many instances when you want to add a slow-motion effect to your videos. Some of the most common ones include:

• Add Focus

If there is a particular scene in a clip that you want the audience to focus on, it would be a good idea to add the slow-motion effect right before that action appears on the screen, and bring the speed back to normal when the section is over.

• Skill or Style Demonstration

When a clip is playing at a normal speed, many times, the audience isn’t able to see the skills that you want to display. This is where you may want to add the slow-motion effect so that every detail can be noticed clearly and in detail.

• Replays

Mostly used for tournaments and matches where the actual action is to replayed so the audience, umpires, and other viewers can see the movements in detail before making the right decision.

• Observation

Some natural phenomena such as a deer running in the woods, a balloon full of water bursting, etc. occur quite quickly. If you want to witness such things clearly and in detail, it would be good to record them, and then reduce the playback speed for better viewing.

• Add Suspense

When you add the slow-motion effect to a scene, the impulse of the audience is automatically increased, and they take that particular section more seriously and with a thrill.

Conclusion

The slow-motion effect is inversely proportional to the framerate, i.e., frames per second or FPS. Almost all DSLR cameras that are available nowadays allow you to switch between different FPS values (typically 120 and 240) before recording. Also, if you have access to an iPhone, its Camera app has a built-in SLO-MO mode that can capture the footage in slow motion.

In addition, if you already have a video that has been recorded at a normal speed, you can use an efficient post-production software like Wondershare Filmora 11, and exploit its Speed Ramping feature to add the slow-motion effect at different scenes of a clip.

Part 1: How to Make Slow Motion Videos via Recording?

The fact is, the playback speed of a video is inversely proportional to the frames per second (FPS) it has been recorded in. Usually, to have a video play at normal speed, it is recorded at 24 FPS or 30 FPS. On the other hand, if you increase the frame rate (FPS) to 120 or 240, the playback speed slows down. You can easily check this if you have access to a DSLR camera or an iPhone. These devices allow you to adjust the FPS so the videos can be recorded in slow motion.

For your convenience and learning, the step-by-step procedure on how to record a video in slow motion using an iPhone is explained below:

Step 1: Get to the SLO-MO Mode

Launch the Camera app on your iPhone (iPhone 13 Pro Max is used here for illustrations), and swipe the screen to the left to get to the SLO-MO mode.

Step 2: Adjust Recording Preferences

Tap the number at the top-right corner to switch between 120 FPS and 240 FPS as needed. Tap 1x from the lower-middle section of the screen, and use the rotator to adjust your preferred zoom level.

Step 3: Start and Stop Recording

Tap the Record button from the bottom-center of the screen to begin recording the video in slow motion. Tap Stop when you are done. You can access the recorded video from the Videos container of the Photos app in your iPhone.

How to Make a Video by Mouse with Filmora

Have you ever wondered, what if somehow your keyboard just broken or disappeared? And you’re stuck in the middle of your project with just a mouse. Don’t know how to proceed remaining project with a mouse? Then no worries! We got you.

This article will guide you how to use stock videos and stock audio to create a music video. The catch, you say? We will be doing that only with a use of a mouse.

Things To Know Before Editing

Let us be honest, most shortcuts are not available without the keyboard. To counter that, our approach will need to be more general. General here means you need to know all the necessary controls and panels.

Take the challenge and find a solution together

To counter these difficulties, even if you have a keyboard, you can imagine yourself in a situation. A situation in which we have a keyboard but will not be using it.

Therefore, presenting us with a challenge, so if you someday come across a situation like this, you will be prepared. All in all, you would be learning more things by returning to the roots of your practice, which in most cases, can prove helpful.

Get Ready With the Professional Editing Tool

Before getting into the editing process handicapped from resources, you need to be familiar with the software that we will use. We will use Wondershare Filmora You can click the link below and catch it up.

Create a Music Video Without a Keyboard

Let us get started! Whether you have a real mouseless experience or want to take it as a challenge, let’s get the things clear first.

• We need to create a 20 seconds music video.
• We will only be using the footage from the stock library.
• We will be using music from the Wondershare Filmora library.
• We will have 5 minutes to review the footage and the music available.
• And most importantly, we don’t have a keyboard.

Step 1. Review your footage

Our first and most crucial step will be to use our imagination and creativity. So get those neurons firing, and let us go!

• Head to the stock media folder on the bar mentioned above, the Wondershare Filmora.
• Or you can simply look towards the left window, where you will find the sample videos tab.
• Click on the sample videos tab, and a new window will appear on the library screen.
• Here you will find almost more than 20 videos.
• So apart from using the actual recorded footage, we will work our way with what we have from default.
• For the music, we would be scrolling in the stock audio library.
• Click on the audio tab above and start scrolling.
• You will also find some categories in the left window.
• Choose the category of your choice and listen to the audio.

Do whatever suit you best. Keep in mind you only have 5 minutes.

Step 2. Pick music for your clips

Suppose you have found audio that speaks your vibe. The next step would be to find a video that tallies that audio. Let us suppose we have audio that is of the hip-hop genre. Let that creativity shine now!

If you like to add a more classical vibe, pick a classical song or audio from the audio library.

• After picking the song, move on to the sample videos tab and search for videos that match a classic vibe.
• Now random close-up shots of a piano, cinematic footage of a big orchestra, or simple landscapes with minimalistic movement while focusing on a single object, consider the example below.

Now that a scenario is constructed, our next step is to arrange these clips in the Wondershare Filmora timeline.

Step 3. Download the clips and audio

You have 15 minutes to create the music video. Start the timer! Once you have selected a sample video and audio that matches your scenario, you can download them from the bottom right icon on the thumbnail. Only if you still need to download them.

Step 4. Insert the audio into the timeline

• The first step is to drag the audio to the timeline.
• Now play the audio from the start. If you can work with the audio as a whole, then it’s perfect.

If you want your audio to start at a certain point. You have to follow the below-mentioned steps. It is as simple as that!

• Add your audio to the timeline.
• Then move the timer or the slider where you want your audio to start.
• Right-click on the audio file. Select split.
• Your audio file will split into two parts.
• Delete the prior file and drag the file ahead to the start of the timeline.

The next step is to add the videos to the timeline.

Step 5. Add the video to the timeline

When you have your audio in the timeline, your next step is adding the video. After you have trimmed or split your audio to your wish, follow the below steps.

• Click and drag to drop the video clips where you want the video to start.
• Play the audio first is a good feature for where you want your video to insert.
• Then adjust the timeline slider on that point.
• Simply drag your video and drop it into the timeline.

Note: now, remember you have multiple videos to match the audio length as we create a music video. The more, the more optimistic. Now, remember you have multiple videos to match the audio length as we create a music video. The more, the more optimistic.

We will target a comprehensive guide on adding motion blur in Blender using the right way. Therefore, if you seek the appropriate way of adding motion blur in Blender, the following description is for you.

Part 1: What is Blender?

As we start our discussion, we will review Blender as a free and open-source software. Following this, we will continue realizing the benefits of adding motion blur through Blender:

Introduction to Blender

For those unaware of Blender, it is an open-source, free creativity software. You can find it as the perfect designing platform for your 3D content. This software has made itself accessible to the market with ease. This has made it quite famous among professionals, and is recommended for its high-quality, feature-rich design. From modeling to sculpting, Blender provides some great options to work with.

If you are up for editing some videos through Blender, it offers a great course of features, including motion blur. This Blender motion blur tutorial intends to bring you a similar insight into this great software. This will help you know the procedure of executing such facets to perfection.

Benefits of Using Motion Blur Effect

There are many benefits of using the motion blur effect in creative work. The following points are the highlights and benefits of adding the motion blur effect:

· Perfect For Idolizing Speed

The use of the motion blur effect is the best way to show the speed of the object. Using such effects gives the viewer an experience of the swiftness that is contained in the object.

· Resolves Flickering

Rather than trying out fast motion, you can add such effects to your 3D content to enhance the motion blur. This also helps get over problems, including strobing and flickering clips.

· Attenuates Real-Effect

One great thing about our human eye is its ability to bring motion blur in fast-moving objects. Since this is a real-life experience, the motion blur effect highlights this particular effect and brings the edited content closer to reality.

Part 2: How Do You Motion Blur An Object in Blender?

As stated before, Blender can be a great option for adding motion blur to objects. Many properties are involved in setting up the motion blur effect on an object. It includes defining the position, shutter, separation, and several other parameters. In this part, we will be looking for a guide on how to add motion blur in Blender:

Step1 With the video opened on Blender, proceed to the “Render Properties.” Look to enable “Motion Blur” from the available options. Click on the arrowhead adjacent to it to access its advanced blur options.

Step2 Start by setting its “Position” in the start, center, or end, according to the requirements. For those who are not sure of it, they can use “Center on Frame.” If the objects rapidly move in the video, reduce the “Shutter” value or vice versa.

Step3 Following this, define the “Background Separation” according to how you require the foreground and background. Next, you will have to increase or decrease the “Max Blur” pixels to define the blur intensity in the video.

Step4 For objects with complex topology, you might have to increase the “Steps,” hence the “Shutter” time. For simple objects, the value remains unity. To apply the motion blur effect, use the F12 key for rendering the video.
