Part 2: How To Turn a Slow Motion Video To Regular Speed on iPhone?

The main catch when you change a slow-motion video to regular speed on an iPhone is that the editing process is manual. You need to adjust the timeline yourself to remove the slow-motion effect. Just a heads up: save the original file so you can go back to it if you change your mind.

Here are the steps to convert slow-motion video to regular speed on your iPhone device:

Step 1: Open the Photos app and select the slow-motion video you want to change to normal speed.

Step 2: Tap Edit in the top right corner of the video taken using Slo-mo mode on your iPhone.

Step 3: You'll see a timeline with white vertical lines. The spaced-out lines show the slow-motion video parts while the closer vertical lines are at normal speed.

Step 4: Drag the slow-motion bar to compress the lines. This will speed up the slow-mo video to regular on your iPhone.

Step 5: Preview the video if it plays at normal speed. Once satisfied, tap Done to save the converted video.

This process of turning a slow-motion video to regular speed is simple and effective for basic needs. But you might find that it doesn't offer the level of control or features you need for complex video projects. For advanced editing and to make precise speed adjustments, try using a third-party video editing software. Read the next parts to learn more ways to change slow-motion video to normal speed.

One of the best fully functional video editing software to turn a slow-motion video to regular speed is Filmora.

Filmora offers two main tools for speed control: Uniform Speed and Speed Ramping. Uniform Speed is best for applying similar speed changes to your entire video. For instance, you can change slow motion video to regular speed, which is 1x, or make it faster up to 100x.
