Make a Slow Motion Video
To make a slow motion video, upload your clip, set the speed between 0.25x and 0.75x, and download the slowed version. At 0.5x every second lasts two; at 0.25x the footage crawls at quarter speed, giving even quick moments room to breathe.
Slow motion earns its keep on fast action — a jump, a splash, a goal, a pet doing something ridiculous. Real time often hides the best part; stretching it out lets viewers actually see it. Smooth results depend on the source: higher frame rates slow down more gracefully.
How it works
- 1
Upload the clip
Add the moment you want to stretch — sports, action, or any fast footage up to 500 MB. Clips shot at 60 fps slow down the most smoothly.
- 2
Pick a slow-mo speed
Choose 0.75x for a gentle drag, 0.5x for classic half-speed slow motion, or 0.25x for maximum drama on very fast action.

Download in slow motion
Run the job and save the slowed file. The effect is rendered into the video, so it plays in slow motion on any device without special settings.
Why use Video-Matic
Three slow-mo intensities
From 0.75x down to 0.25x, you control exactly how much the moment stretches.
No editing suite required
What usually takes a timeline and a speed-ramp tutorial happens here with one upload and one setting.
Clean, unbranded output
The slowed clip downloads without any watermark, ready for highlight reels or social posts.
Short-lived storage
Your footage is auto-deleted within 24 hours from EU servers, so raw and rendered files never pile up.
Frequently asked questions
Which speed makes the best slow motion?›
0.5x is the sweet spot for most footage — clearly slow motion without looking choppy. Save 0.25x for genuinely fast action shot at a high frame rate, like 60 fps sports clips. 0.75x works as a subtle drag that adds weight to a moment without announcing itself.
Why does my slow motion look choppy?›
Slowing a video stretches the frames that exist; it cannot invent new ones. A 30 fps clip at 0.25x shows each frame four times as long, which can stutter. Footage recorded at 60 fps or higher has more frames to spread out and stays noticeably smoother.
How much does slow motion cost?›
One credit per video, and every account starts with 3 free credits, so you can slow three clips before paying anything. Extra credits come in one-time packs from the pricing page — no subscription, no recurring charge.
What about the audio in slow motion?›
The audio slows with the video, so voices deepen and sounds smear — sometimes atmospheric, often distracting. If it bothers you, strip the track with the Mute Video tool or lay music over the result with Add Music for a polished finish.
