The freeze-frame effect stops your video clip for a few seconds, creating a dramatic pause. These will speed ramp your video down from normal speed and back up at the end. As you make the pace slower, you will notice that the duration of the overall clip increases.įinally, we recommend checking the “Ease in” and “Ease out” checkboxes to create a smoother slow-mo effect. You can now use the “Speed Multiplier” slider to adjust the speed during your designated selection. Once you have adjusted the effect to fit your clip, select the “Speed” dropdown on the left-hand side of the screen. Open the “Effect” tab at the top of the window and click “Create Time Shift.” The time shift border will appear at the beginning of your timeline, and you can drag it to cover the period you would like to slow down within your video. Next, click on the “Tools” dropdown and select the “Action Camera Center.” Your first step is to import your clip and drag it down to the editing track. PowerDirector’s Speed Ramp tool makes it quick and easy to apply a slow-motion effect to any clip. Adding a slow-motion effect to your video is an easy way to dramatize the moment and leave viewers on the edges of their seats, waiting to see what happens next.
