Let’s presume it’s a clip you’ve named SkateTrick. The clip can be any length, though the segment you slow can’t be more than 2 seconds long. Make two duplicates of the clip that includes the segment you want to slow.
Okay, imagine you finally landed a triple giloolie after twenty eight years of skateboarding, and you want to extend your airtime a bit by the miracle of slow motion videography. Since the frames are identical in both clips, the “dissolved” frame pairs are duplicated without any distortion/blending/blurring of the individual images. In brief, you duplicate the segment you want to slow, then do a Slow Cross-Dissolve transition between them.
only works for powers of 2 (you can run 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed…).maximum finished segment length is 4:00 (four seconds).Yep, there’s a fairly easy way to slow mo with iMovie, if you can tolerate some glaring limitations:
