Apply Slow Motion to Video

1) Sign up for Descript for free. You have 1 free hour of transcription per month. No credit card is required.

2) Upload your video to Descript by dragging and dropping it into the project window.

3) Once upload has finished, head to the "Layer" option on the right-hand panel and adjust the speed of your clips under "Duration". You can drag left and right in the "Speed" and "Duration" boxes or — for more precise control — simply type in any multiplier.

4) Share the optimized clip by clicking on Publish and selecting the "Export" button to post it or download the video file to your desired location.

• Highlight Details: Slow motion allows you to emphasize intricate details that might be missed at normal speed, making your content more engaging.
• Enhance Dramatic Effect: By slowing down key moments, you can create a more dramatic and emotional impact, perfect for storytelling.
• Improve Clarity: Slow motion can make fast-moving scenes easier to follow, ensuring your audience doesn't miss any important action.
• Showcase Skills: Ideal for sports and action videos, slow motion highlights the skill and technique involved, adding a professional touch.
• Create Artistic Effects: Use slow motion to add a creative flair to your videos, making them stand out with unique visual effects.

• Choose the Right Moments: Identify key moments in your footage that will benefit from slow motion, such as action sequences or emotional scenes.
• Use High Frame Rates: Shoot your video at a higher frame rate (e.g., 60fps or 120fps) to ensure smooth slow-motion playback without choppiness.
• Maintain Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting when filming in high frame rates, as slow motion can make footage appear darker.
• Stabilize Your Shots: Use a tripod or gimbal to keep your camera steady, as slow motion can exaggerate any camera shake.
• Edit Precisely: Use Descript's speed adjustment tools to fine-tune the duration and speed of your slow-motion clips for the best visual effect.
