Slow Down & Create Slow-Motion Video
Slow-motion is one of the magic video effects that bring general video to a new level. Some phones can directly shot slow-motion videos. It doesn't matter if you shot a normal speed video. VideoProc Vlogger lets you slow down the speed and create a cool slow-motion effect in an easiest way. For a smooth slow-motion playback in post-production, you are suggested to film video at a higher frame rate, e.g. 50fps, 60fps, or even higher.
Let's download and install VideoProc Vlogger to create slow-motion effect for your video.

Step 2Split out the original video
If you want to slow down a whole video, please skip this step and continue step 3.

Editing Tips1. You can decrease the speed to 1/72x or slower (or increase the video speed to 72x or faster).
2. Time Stretch tool is helpful when you want to adjust a video clip to fit a known duration, but you have no idea about the specific new speed value you should use.

Select the segment in Timeline. Find Play Speed menu in Inspector Panel which is at the upper right of main UI. You can choose 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 average speed in Linear Speed; select Custom to adjust speed in Constant speed window which allows to select 1/16 average speed, or drag the slider bar to slow down to 0.031 times.
