Some of the best Snapchat Filters and effects are also the oldest. Such is the case with the slow motion effect, which allows you to slow down videos for clarity or comedic effects. Fortunately, learning how to slow down a video on Snapchat is as easy as it can be. This is what you need to know.
How to slow down a video on Snapchat
To slow down a video on Snapchat, you simply need to apply the slow motion effect. Record your video first, then swipe left until the snail icon appears. Then your video will play at low speed. Please note that it can only slow down Snapchat videos less than 10 seconds long.
This is one of the most misunderstood effects on Snapchat, mainly due to the length requirement. Any video that exceeds 10 seconds in length cannot be slowed down. That’s one full rotation of the red ring around the record button. The same goes for the filter that speeds up the video. However, the resulting video will be longer than 10 seconds in playback due to the slow motion effect. It can be a bit confusing.
Still, the process is incredibly simple. The slow motion effect and the reverse video feature of Snapchat are two effects that are always available. To get to them, you just need to swipe left after recording a video. Typically, you will have to go through four different color filters to find it; the snail icon is the first to immediately follow the black and white filter.
