Definition

Slow motion is a video effect achieved by recording footage at a high frame rate (typically 60, 120, or 240 FPS) and playing it back at a lower standard frame rate (24 or 30 FPS), causing the action to appear slowed down. Slow motion is used in creator content for dramatic emphasis, tutorial clarity, action sports footage, and cinematic storytelling.
