Some cameras can shoot at even higher frame rates such as 120 fps or even 240 fps. The result will be a video that lasts twice as much and looks slowed down. This means that you can slow down your 60 fps video to 30 fps. If crack up the frame rate to 60 fps you are capturing twice as many frames in the same amount the time – in just 1 second. If you playback every page of that book it will look just like a movie. Your average camera will shoot with 30 still frames every second or 30 fps (frame per second). Plus, to improve the cinematic appeal, and to lay special emphasis on certain action sequences in a scene. Many people opt for slow-motion to highlight minute details and nuances in the film. Why create slow-motion videos? For the simple reason, that slow-motion clips are so appealing to the eye and amazing to watch, especially action and adventure videos. This means that it will take 4 seconds to playback just 1 second of real-time. So if you take your 1-second video shoot with your GoPro at 120 fps and play it back at 30 fps you will end up with a video that now lasts 4 seconds. To achieve a slow-motion effect, your playback frame rate needs to be lower than your filming frame rate. That’s because when your filming frame rate matches your playback you end up with a real-time, normal speed video. If you playback that video at 120 fps it will look normal, or real-time. The last option, it’s only possible to create slow-mo videos at 50% speed.įor example, let’s say you are using a GoPro Black Hero 7 and you shoot for just 1 second at 120 frames per second (fps). The resultant videos are the derivatives of videos shot with higher frame rates (240fps, 120fps, or 60fps). Slow motion comes from the relation between your filming frame rate and your playback frame rate. These cameras are best suited to film amazing slow-motion clips of high resolution and top-notch clarity.Īnd I’m going to start with the beginning. If you’re using the latest models of GoPro – Hero 11 or Hero 10 Black, then you’re already better placed to pull off this task.īoth, GoPro Hero 11 and GoPro Hero 10 are loaded with some great features and some really interesting updates. How does it work? What settings should you use? How can you slow down your GoPro footage in post-production? And what is some video editing software that you can use?

We are going to look at the ins and outs of slow motioning with a GoPro. So if you are wondering how you can create buttery smooth GoPro slow-motion videos this post will come in handy. Not all videos can be slowed down in post-production while maintaining good video quality. Unfortunately, I can’t always do it because the scenes were not filmed with that in mind.
