Android users can rely on apps that allow them to create slow motion videos for tutorials, or just for fun. You can capture a video and then add slow motion effects and there are many practical or entertaining uses for this function. The majority of slow motion video apps also support fast motion features, giving you flexibility to make your videos special. You just have to choose the best app to suit your specific needs. Here are the options that are worth considering.
VideoShop
VideoShop is a feature-rich solution that lets you create slow or fast videos using real-time editing. You just need to use a horizontal slider to slow down or speed up the video and you will be able to see the effects in real-time. It is possible to reduce the speed to 0.1x and to increase it up to 4 times. Once you complete the editing process, you just need to tap on Done to complete the changes. It is possible to share the video on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and other social media/messaging apps.

This app from Appsolute is available in English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, German, Korean and Japanese. It is one of the solutions with the highest rating in Google Play Store and you can download it for free.
Slow Motion Video FX
This is a comprehensive app that brings all the necessary features to create and record slow and fast motion videos. Slow Motion Video FX is very easy to use and you can record a new video or speed up/slow down a video that you previously recorded. You just have to select the video and decide how slow or fast it should be. It is possible to slow down a video to almost half of its original speed or you can get it to go up to 5 times faster. If you use a video that was previously captured, a copy of that video will be created with the fast or slow motion effects, but the original video won’t be affected. You can get a slow motion version of any video in just a matter of minutes. Slow Motion Video FX is available for free, but if you want to get rid of the ads you can upgrade to the Pro version.
Fast & Slow Motion Video Tool
The best thing about Fast & Slow Video Tool is that it supports a good range of adjustable speeds. It is possible to make the video up to 8 times faster or slower and you can easily select the video that you want to modify. Once the app is launched, all the videos stored on your phone are shown in the main interface so you won’t need to spend too much time looking for a specific video on your device. After selecting the video that you want to slow down or speed up, you will be ready to apply the changes. Keep in mind that the app doesn’t trim the video automatically. The whole video will be processed and only the area specified will be edited with slower or faster speed. You can also trim it manually. You only have to specify the speed and then tap OK to begin the process. The free version features ads.
KMPlayer
KMPlayer is not specifically designed to record/create slow motion or fast motion videos, but it supports this features. It is a video player app that offers high definition videos and it comes with a great selection of features to manage your videos, including the possibility of speeding up or slowing down a video. KMPlayer supports an outstanding amount of video formats and the quality of the app makes it one of the best options for slow or fast motion videos. It is possible to increase or decrease the speed of the video as it plays, just by tapping on “+” and “-” buttons on the right side of the scree. It is possible to reduce the speed to 0.1x and increase it up to 4X. It is an ideal solution to follow instructional videos in detail, or just to have fun controlling the playback of your videos. The only downside is that there are no sharing or saving features, meaning that while you can watch videos in slow or fast motion, you won’t be able to create them.
SloPro
This is another convenient solution to record slow of fast motion videos. What makes SloPro stand apart from the competition is the fact that it allows you to slow down or speed up a video in real-time. It is not necessary to select a specific speed or a part of the video in order to make it fast or slow. Simply play the video and start choosing the speed you want to apply. The speed can be adjusted as the video is playing and the speed that you select will be applied. There are six speeds to choose from, three fast and three slow. Although it offers less speed adjustment options than other apps, the advantage is that SloPro is very easy to use. Keep in mind that with the free version, a watermark is added to the video. If this doesn’t bother you, SloPro is a very convenient solution. You can share your videos on Facebook, Twitter and other social media network.
