How to convert video to Slow Motion.

Hello.


This is a simple question and I am really frustrated with this. I have a normal video (portrait) and I want to convert to slow motion, but when I click "EDIT", I do not have that option.


I tried iMovie for iPhone and it cuts the header of the video (?!!).... If the video was shot in Slow Motion I could convert it to normal, but with a normal video I can't convert it to slow motion? Whats going on here?


Thank you

See my post above. When you record for slo-mo, the frame rate is much higher than normal. When you play back at normal speed the extra frames fill in the missing information. But when you start with a normal video and convert it to slow motion there is a big gap from each frame to the next. The converter attempts to guess what happened between frames and fill it in, but it will never be as good as an original recorded in slow motion with its higher frame rate. This is a limitation due to the laws of optics and has nothing to do with the iPhone.
