To make a video slower, use a video editing software or app that offers a “speed” or “tempo” control feature. First, import your video into the software. Locate the timeline or speed adjustment tool, which might be labeled as “speed,” “tempo,” or “duration” adjustments. Decrease the playback speed by dragging the slider to the left or entering a percentage less than 100%. Preview your video to ensure the desired slow-motion effect, then export or save the edited clip. Many tools offer tutorials for beginners if you're unsure where to start.
