Where to find slow-motion templates
- In the app: tap Templates and search "slowmo", "slow motion", "velocity" or "smooth slomo".
- On the web: capcut.com/template/slow-motion, capcut.com/explore/slow-motion-template and capcut.com/explore/slowmo-template.
Choosing clips for slow motion
Slow motion stretches the frames you already have. A clip with more frames per second has more to stretch, so it stays smoother when slowed down. As a general practice, record at 60fps or higher if your phone allows it, and pick clips with clear movement: a turn, a jump, hair or water moving.
Keep each clip at least as long as the slot it fills. Very short clips get stretched further and look choppier.
Faster than a template
Make the video with AI instead
Hooked writes the hook, generates the clips with Veo 3.1, Kling or Seedance, adds captions and exports in 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Making your own slow motion in the editor
CapCut's App Store listing names smooth slow motion as a feature. The exact menu path above comes from reports and can change between app versions.
- 1Add a clip to a new project and select it on the timeline.
- 2Tap Speed.
- 3Choose Normal to set a fixed speed below 1x, or Curve to ramp speed up and down on the beat.
- 4Turn on Smooth slow-mo if your version shows it.
- 5Preview, then export.
Fixing choppy slow motion
- Use footage recorded at a higher frame rate.
- Turn on Smooth slow-mo, which generates in-between frames.
- Slow the clip less. The further you slow it, the more frames CapCut has to fill in.
- Export at 60fps if your source is 60fps. Desktop exports go up to 60fps on free and Pro plans.
Slow-motion b-roll without filming it
If you have no footage to slow down, you can generate slow-motion b-roll from a text prompt with AI video models such as Veo, Kling or Seedance on Hooked, then edit it in CapCut.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a slow-motion video in CapCut?
Use a slow-motion template from the Templates tab, or select a clip in the editor, tap Speed, lower the speed or draw a curve, and turn on Smooth slow-mo.
Why does my CapCut slow motion look choppy?
The clip does not have enough frames for the speed you chose. Record at a higher frame rate, slow it less, or turn on Smooth slow-mo.
What frame rate should I record for slow motion?
As a general practice, 60fps or higher. More frames per second give a smoother result when slowed down.
Are "8K" slow-motion templates actually 8K?
The title is the creator's. The quality you get depends on your clips and export settings. CapCut exports go up to 4K.
