Playing iPhone 5s slow-motion video via AirPlay on an Apple TV

DeeRun, it looks like I completely forgot to mention it. I'm a developer and on Mavericks. So perhaps this is further proof this just needs a software update. Give it a few weeks I guess.

That doesn't work because when you import it into iMovie, the slo-motion part of the video is no longer there and the whole thing plays at normal speed

There is a big misunderstanding of what the whole 120fps thing means.

The extra fps are there in order to achieve great quality slow motion.

Playing a 120fps movie at 120fps is real time speed. A movie recorded in 120fps does not equate a "slow motion" movie.

What you need is to put it, say, in a 30fps timeline and slow it down. The extra frames will be used to generate a SMOTH 30fps movie playing in slow motion.

Another workaround: Uploading to YouTube preserves the slo-mo and can be played back in the YouTube app on the ATV.

I'm sure Apple's photo apps will catch up with this feature in updates soon.

Easy way around this is to add the movie with Slo-mo to an iCloud stream, my girlfriends in my case, and play it watch it on ATV3 no problem 😉

pita you you can't just Airplay or mirror the Slo mo movie though....

So, suddenly yesterday some of the videos I took (yesterday) started working. They were a bit choppy at times, but worked. Now today, just sound...

Go figure.

Looks like we have a solution as announced by Apple today. New iLife and iMovie app now supports slo-mo. Looking forward to testing it out.

Forgive the dumb question - but would that mean airplaying using imovie instead of just from the camera roll?

I've now downloaded and installed the latest iOS update 7.0.3 as well as all the updated iLife apps.

Slo-mo is now supported to ATV via the Camera app or iMovie. Slo-mo is also supported when you save to iMovie theater.

Sadly, the only way to Airplay to ATV from these apps is via Wifi. If you use Cat5, it won't work. Ya gotta be kidding me!! The Apple help file states that it will only work on Wifi.

A work around is to save to iMovie theater and then watch that from ATV if you want your ATV to remain hardwired to your network.

<sigh> So close....

I have updated my iPhone 5s to 7.0.3 and iPhoto to 9.5. When you import a slo-mo video into iPhoto it plays the entire video in slow motion, without switching between normal speed and slow motion. Very annoying, I was hoping this would be addressed in the update.

Wifi or ethernet, completely updated (ATV and iOS 7.0.3 on my 5S), still the exact same problems using straight up Airplay.

iMovie shows the first frame and that's it, doesn't play anything but sound, just like the Photos app.

Slow motion shots with the SloPro app (used to be only 60fps, but does 120fps on the 5S) shot at 120 fps then saved to the Camera Roll airplay to ATV just fine - which is odd.

@jntiphone, are you using Airplay from the control center or within the app?

Assuming wifi is turned on for ATV, when you play a slo-mo clip from the photo app, touch the middle of the screen while the clip is playing and you should see the Airplay icon in the lower right. Touch that icon and then choose ATV.

If ATV is not on wifi, the Airplay icon will not be visible within the app.

Same here, everything updated and still doen't play slo-mo with Airplay. (except for the couple times it did)

iMovie plays it at full speed or fake slo-mo.

You would think apple support would chime in on this, even if just to let us know they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

I have a feeling this could be the underlying problem:

I was having this issue trying to play slow Mo video via my iPhone 5s to the Apple TV. Wouldn't work no matter what I did. I then airdropped the video to my iPad mini and it would AirPlay the slowmo video to the Apple TV. Can't figure out why one would work and the other one wouldn't work.

Newest update, still no fix from apple. And no statement here from them about an issue they are aware of. Poor customer service, still.
