Slow motion video playback can produce interesting results. It can reveal the movie details you’ve missed, or give you an alternative perspective on mundane things. Many players across desktop and mobile platforms have a playback speed feature, so it may be hard to choose. We’ve found the best video players in this category - and you only need to check out this list.
This Mac video player allows you to playback video in slow motion by configuring and reducing its speed. That applies to almost any video you can find, due to its large variety of available codecs. Better yet, the slowed video can be configured using a video tuner, adding visual effects such as rotation or color correction. Elmedia Player can stream to Smart TVs, and the streamed video will also be slowed down.
To decrease the speed select Playback -> Decrease Speed or press ⌘[ on the keyboard. Click the hotkey or a menu option until the desired slow speed is reached.
Note: The slow motion option offered by Elmedia doesn't alter the video speed permanently, however it is quite sufficient for viewing videos and is easy to perform.

Surprisingly, QuickTime offers video play slow capabilities. They are very limited - you can’t just change a setting to play in slow motion; you have to hold K+L or K+J for slow playback. Which is a shame, because QT7 implemented it as a convenient slider. Nonetheless, QuickTime 10 is a possible solution for default macOS users who might not want to install a different player.

A media app allows you to temporarily watch videos playing in slow motion. But if you want the speed changes to stick, you should use a video editor - for example, Filmora Wondershare. It can reduce the speed of any clip by a lot - all the way down to 0.1x. You’ve got to have a very high frame rate to make use of this kind of slowdown. And once it’s saved, any player will open your video at the same speed.

This player comes installed by default on every Windows 10 copy. It is a slo mo video player, which can slow videos down up to 16 times; as usual, you need a very high framerate to make full use of this feature. Other useful aspects include its library sync feature, and support for Microsoft proprietary formats.

Slow Motion Video (also known as SloMo Video) is a Microsoft Store app that does just that - and nothing more. Playback video in slow motion or edit it to be slow, and that’s about it. No playlists, no subtitles, etc. There’s an advantage to this simplicity: you don’t need to figure out the interface. And, since this is a Microsoft Store app, it can also run on XBox One.

Far from being a Windows exclusive, VLC is available on a whole range of systems, including macOS and Android. And it’s certainly a convenient option for a slow video player. In VLC, you can open a playback speed slider which allows you to set or reset it. You can go up to 4 times faster or slower.

It’s a quick, compact video editor - just as you’d expect from a mobile app designed to make video play slowly. Slow Motion’ can apply multiple effects to the same track - for example, slow one part, and speed up another. It’s not as quick as a player, and doesn’t have as many playback options, but it does the job.

This app can bring your footage down to incredibly low speeds, 0.001x at most. While an iPhone camera can’t produce such high framerates, it uses optical flow technology instead to draw the missing frames. It’s probably the most slow video playback that can be achieved.

A simple video player with slow motion. The app quickly opens any video and allows you to adjust its current framerate. No editing features, or anything else - you can just open and view. The speed can become quite slow, and it’s free to use, too.

This slow motion player is specialized for sports. It allows you to slowly scroll through a video, and when you find the frame you need, you can use the graphical tools to evaluate the athlete’s performance. This makes it suitable for coaching purposes, to showcase any potential mistakes or provide good examples.
