In addition to directly recording slow-motion TikTok videos, you can also add slow-motion effects to TikTok videos after recording or from existing videos on your phone. Here are the specific steps to follow:

Step 1: Tap the plus (+) icon on the main interface of the TikTok app and then press the red button in the middle of the screen to create a new video. If you want to upload an existing video from your phone, tap 'upload' and select the video you want to edit.

Step 2: For a created TikTok video, tap the 'effects' icon on the screen to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Within the available effects in the TikTok app, swipe left and select the 'time' effect, then choose 'slow motion'. The app will automatically transition part of your video to slow motion as desired. Next, tap 'save' to save the applied slow motion effect to the video.

Step 4: On the video playback interface, tap 'next' to proceed to the video posting interface. Here, fill in the video description, add hashtags, tag friends, etc., and tap post to share the created video with friends on TikTok.

3. How to Slow Down TikTok Videos Using Capcut

In addition to directly applying slow motion effects to videos on TikTok, you can also create slow-motion videos using a third-party app like Capcut. Here are the specific steps to follow:

Step 2: In the app interface, tap the 'templates' icon to select from a variety of popular video effect templates available on Capcut. In the search bar, enter the keyword 'slow motion' to search for templates. Capcut will then display all video templates using slow-motion effects for you to browse. Simply tap on each video to preview and select your favorite effect template. Once you've chosen a template with the desired slow-motion effect and color scheme, tap 'use template' to proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Select the video you want to use for the template effect, then tap 'preview'. In the preview interface, you can review the video, 'edit' the volume, video content, etc. If you're satisfied with the video created with the slow motion effect on Capcut, tap 'Export' to export the video.

Note: When recording slow motion videos, the number of frames that the device needs to save is quite large, so you should ensure good lighting and sound quality for the video to be of high quality and not blurry.

Additionally, when recording slow motion videos, the phone will consume a lot of battery and memory. Therefore, before recording videos using slow-motion effects, you need to pay attention to the phone's memory and battery capacity.
