Slow Down Your Videos: A Step-by-Step Guide to VLC’s Slo-Mo Feature
While the files of the most common formats like MP4, WAV, etc. may look identical, they might be compiled using varied codecs which may or may not support any random player that you install on your PC. The reason why VLC media player is used by the majority of users worldwide is the versatility in the codecs that it supports natively.
Furthermore, the app is available for almost every platform, i.e., Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android, and is absolutely free to download and use.
With that said, the following sections explain how to manage the playback speed of a video while using VLC media player to add a slow motion effect to video. Here you will learn how to play slow motion on VLC on Windows, Mac, and iOS/Android, and also how to set the default speed for the app so that every time a video is played, the speed remains according to your preference.
In this article
01 How to Play Video in Slow Motion Effects on Windows with VLC?
02 How to Play Slow Motion Effects on Mac with VLC?
03 How to Control Playback Speed in VLC Media Player on Android and iOS?
04 How to Set up the Default Playback Speed on VLC?
Part 1: How to Play Video in Slow Motion Effects on Windows with VLC?
VLC is one of the best media players to play videos in slow motion . You can follow the instructions that are given below to learn how to play a video in slow motion in VLC on a Windows PC:
Step 1: Start Video Playback
Launch VLC on your Windows computer (a Windows 11 PC is used here for illustrations), click Media from the menu bar at the top, click Open File from the menu, and locate and open a video that you want to watch in slow motion. If VLC is your default media player, simply double-clicking the clip automatically opens the file in the app.
Step 2: Reduce the Playback Speed (In Decrements of 0.10x)
Once the playback begins, press the Spacebar on the keyboard to pause the video. Next, go to the Playback menu from the top, go to Speed, and click Slower (fine) once. This will reduce the speed to 0.90x. Clicking Slower (fine) again will further slow down the video to 0.80x speed. You can repeat this process until you reduce the speed to your desired level. Press Spacebar again to resume the playback in slow motion.
Note: The lowest speed that you can go to using this process is 0.03x.
Step 3: Reduce the Playback Speed (In Decrements in Percentage)
Pause the playback and go to Playback > Speed as explained in the previous step. From the list that comes up, click Slower (the last option). This will reduce the speed to 0.67x. Click Slower again and the speed will further go down to 0.50x. You can repeat this process until you reach your desired playback speed. Press Spacebar to resume the playback in slow motion. With this method, you can reduce the speed to as low as 0.02x.
Note: You can click Normal from the Speed submenu to play the video at normal speed.
Step 4: Using the Shortcut Keys (Optional)
You can press the left square bracket ‘[‘ on your keyboard to reduce the speed in decrements of 0.10x. To get back to the normal speed, press the equals to ‘=’ key. Likewise, pressing the right square bracket ‘]’ increases the speed by 0.10x.
Note: As it is with the Slower (fine) and Slower options, you can use Faster (fine) to add 0.10x increments to the speed, and Faster to increase percentage-wise. Also, if Faster (fine) is clicked repeatedly or its shortcut key is used multiple times, the speed can be increased up to 31.25x. On the other hand, by using the Faster option repeatedly, the speed can be increased to more than 100x.
Part 2: How to Play Slow Motion Effects on Mac with VLC?
The process of slowing down the video playback in VLC on a Mac computer is almost identical to that in Windows. You can learn how to get this done by following the steps that are given below:
Step 1: Open and Pause the Video
Locate and right-click the video that you want to play in slow motion, go to Open With from the context menu, and click VLC from the submenu. Once the clip opens, click the Pause button from the bottom as explained in the previous section.
Step 2: Reduce the Playback Speed
Click Playback from the menu bar at the top, and drag the Playback Speed slider to the left to reduce the speed of the video.
Step 3: Resume the Playback
Click anywhere on the screen to close the Playback menu, and then click the Play button from the bottom to resume the video playback in slow motion.
Part 3: How to Control Playback Speed in VLC Media Player on Android and iOS?
Although the playback speed of a video on both Android and iOS devices can be controlled with a slider, the location where the controller is placed on the two platforms varies, and so does the process of reaching there. Both the methods are explained below for your convenience:
Play Video in Slow Motion on Android with VLC
Step 1: Pause the Playback
Launch VLC on your Android phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ is used here for illustrations), locate and open the video in VLC, tap anywhere on the screen, and tap the Pause button from the bottom to pause the playback.
Step 2: Set a Slower Playback Speed
Tap the More icon from the bottom-right corner, tap Playback speed from the menu that appears, and drag the slider that is present at the bottom to the left to reduce the speed. Alternatively, you can also repeatedly tap the down arrow that is present at the right of the slider to slow down the speed in the decrements of 0.05x.
Step 3: Resume the Playback
Tap anywhere on the screen, and when the Playback speed slider disappears, tap the screen one more time. Now, tap the Play icon from the bottom to resume the video playback.
Play Video in Slow Motion on iPhone with VLC
Step 1: Pause the Playback
Assuming that you have already added the video to the VLC library by connecting it to iTunes, launch the app on your iOS device (iPhone 13 Pro Max is used here for illustrations). Tap the video that you want to play in slow motion, and then tap the Pause icon from the bottom.
Step 2: Reduce the Playback Speed
Tap anywhere on the screen, and tap the Clock icon from the lower-left corner. Next, drag the Playback speed slider to the left to reduce the playback speed.
Step 3: Resume the Playback
Right after decreasing the speed, tap the Play icon from the bottom to resume the playback. If the controllers disappear, you can tap anywhere on the screen again, and then tap the Play icon.
Part 4: How to Set up the Default Playback Speed on VLC?
The processes of setting up default playback speed on different platforms and devices vary. For your convenience, all of them are explained below:
Set up Default Playback Speed in VLC on Windows
- Go to Tools > Preferences in VLC media player, and then click the All button from the Show settings section at the bottom.
- Select Input / Codecs from the left pane of the Advanced Preferences box, and then specify your preferred speed in the Playback speed field that is present under the Playback control section on the right window
- Click Save to save the changes

- Launch VLC, and go to VLC media player from the menu bar, and then click Preferences; and then click Show All from the bottom of the Preferences box to display all preferences setting options;
- Click the Input / Codecs from the left pane, and then define your preferred speed in the Playback speed field under the Playback control section in the right window, and then click Save to save the changes.
How to Change VLC Media Player Default Speed on Android
Note: At the time of this writing, the Android version of VLC doesn’t allow you to set a global default playback speed. However, you can set it on a per video basis. This means that every time that video is played, the playback speed will remain what you set for it. You must do this for each video in your VLC library individually.
- Launch VLC, and then tap More from the bottom-right corner; next, tap SETTINGS from the upper-left area;
- Tap Video from the Extra settings section, and then check the Save Playback Speed box
How to Change VLC Media Player Default Speed on iOS and iPhone
- Tap Settings from the Home screen, and then scroll down and tap VLC
- Tap Default playback speed from the GENERIC section, and then tap to select a playback speed from the available list to set it as the default.
Conclusion
It is pretty convenient to reduce the playback speed in VLC media player regardless of the platform or device you are using. While the processes of getting the job might be different, the principle behind it remains the same. When on Windows, the playback speed can be decreased to 0.02x and can be increased to more than 100x. This facility is not available on Mac, iOS, or Android platforms. Also, if you want, you can set the default playback speed for the videos so that every time a clip is played, the pace remains what you specified as default.

Top Mac Video Editors Similar to VSDC
VSDC Free Video Editor for Mac: Get Best Alternatives
Richard Bennett
Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions
VSDC is one of the most popular freeware software among beginners and intermediate-level video editors. But it is limited only to Windows users. Even after multiple requests from the users and tech-critics, VSDC isn’t likely to release a VSDC Mac version soon. So, it is best to look for VSDC alternatives for Mac.
Scroll down to find the best alternatives to VSDC for a Mac.
- Part 1: Best VSDC for Mac Alternative - Filmora for Mac (Recommended)
- Part 2: Top 3 VSDC Video Editor for Mac Alternatives
Part 1: Best VSDC for Mac Alternative - Filmora for Mac (Recommended)
Although not completely free, Wondershare Filmora is one of the most suitable video-editing tool for Mac users. Not only is it superior to the VSDC, but it is also considered one of the most powerful utilities in the video-editing realm by critics and users. Why? Well…
- Starting with the simple interface that includes an array of features to distinguish as a sophisticated video editing tool for Mac.
- The regular addition of new features like Auto Reframe to smartly crop your video and integration of the cloud-based stock library are what make this software powerful and superior
- Plus, you can choose the presets and edit up to 4K videos at 60fps. The drag-and-drop feature allows you to add media files, and the preview section lets you see the edited video in real-time.
- The timeline is simple yet powerful, and the customizable settings allow you to use the combination of mouse, keyboard, and icons controls and make the video-editing process seamless.
So, it is not tough to discern why Filmora is considered as one of the most authoritative video editor for Mac users. Moreover, as mentioned, the software is not absolutely free. Still, you can use most of its features in free version.
Part 2: Top 3 VSDC Video Editor for Mac Alternatives
After reviewing hundreds of freeware software, we have come up with the three best VSDC alternatives.
1. ShotCut
A simple, free, and open-source software that makes the video-making process straightforward. Filled with interesting ideas and powerful features, the greatest thing about ShotCut is that besides being free — it is regularly updated and maintained by the vendor. The interface has a three-panel view and adding media files is as simple as dragging and dropping.
The software also includes rich features like keyframing, color correction, transition and lets you edit up to 4K resolution video with ease. But unlike VSDC, ShotCut does not have multiple preset transition effects and includes only 24 basic wipe-in or out effects. Still, the software has sophisticated features like Chroma Key and allows you to utilize third-party addons for text and titles as the application does not have many of them.
Pros:
- Lightweight for a sophisticated video-editor
- The interface is simple and convenient and allows you to customize the toggles as per your preference
- Numerous output options — supports major formats and offers you to export the footage in any format
- Completely free platforms plus cross-platform support
Cons:
- The app does not allow you to create layers automatically.
- It could be tough for a newbie to work on ShotCut.
- The application takes too long to show the applied effects; even simple transition effects suffer from latency.
2. OpenShot
Another free and open-source program, OpenShot, has the ability to give you high-quality output with minimal effort. The software includes all the basic functions like resizing, scaling, trimming, and audio mixing with real-time previews. Plus, it also incorporates features for animated-based keyframing and creating 2D animation with image sequencing.
Moreover, like the VSDC, there are also presets to give 3D effects like snowfall, text, and lens flares, and other effects to the video. Nonetheless, if you want to take these into your hand and need more flexibility over transition, effects, filters, and more then you will have to look elsewhere. Because although great, OpenShot does have gaps and excludes critical features, meaning if you want to give artistic effects and personalize the video as much as possible, OpenShot is not suitable for you.
Pros:
- OpenShot user-friendly, intuitive interface enables users to utilize all the editing functions effortlessly.
- The dedicated preview-video section allows you to view the edited video in real-time and see if everything is done perfectly or not.
- Includes some basic 2D and 3D transition, plus it also includes filters and effects.
- Audio equalizer lets you work on every aspect of the audio and tune the music finely.
Cons:
- Many users have criticized the OpenShot video editor for lagging and crashing issues while editing high-resolution videos
- Even after multiple requests from the users, OpenShot does not support GPU acceleration for encoding and decoding the video files.
- Some critical features are missing.
3. Avidemux
Like VSDC, Avidemux is also a freeware that includes all the basic options to edit the video and is much suitable for beginner-level users. However, if you are intermediate or expert in video editing, Avidemux is not the one you need. The reason: Avidemux does have basic options like cutting, trimming, splitting, and more. Still, when it comes to sophisticated features like creative effects, transition, Avidemux does not have dedicated functions for that. Moreover, as usual for the video editors, the Timeline feature is also missing from the software.
Of course, in comparison to VSDC, Avidemux falls short. Because all it can do is the basic video editing, encoding, and de-noising. Other than that, it cannot boast about anything. Still, given the simple interface, Avidemux is perfect for newbies who do not have much experience with video editing. Be that as it may, if you are serious regarding video-editing, you should get a more powerful video editor on Mac.
Pros:
- The simple interface allows even the naivest users to use the application to the fullest
- The application has all the basic video-editing features like cutting, splitting, trimming
- Avidemux is excellent for encoding options; one of the industry’s finest, in fact.
- Sharpening and de-noising filters to give fine details to the video
Cons:
- Avidemux does not have advanced video-editing options like effects and transition
- Lack the much important timeline feature
Part 3: Final Words
VSDC is a powerful and unique tool. The above-listed freeware like ShotCut, OpenShot, and Avidemux are good alternatives to it. But after reviewing several video editors — this is the closest we came to finding something similar to VSDC. And understanding that Mac users will need all the powerful functions that VSDC incorporates, Filmora for Mac that includes everything that VSDC has and more! The Filmora for Mac is also free to utilize, so you can simply download the software and edit videos like professionals.

3. Avidemux
Like VSDC, Avidemux is also a freeware that includes all the basic options to edit the video and is much suitable for beginner-level users.

VSDC is one of the most popular freeware software among beginners and intermediate-level video editors. But it is limited only to Windows users. Even after multiple requests from the users and tech-critics, VSDC isn’t likely to release a VSDC Mac version soon. So, it is best to look for VSDC alternatives for Mac.
Scroll down to find the best alternatives to VSDC for a Mac.
- Part 1: Best VSDC for Mac Alternative - Filmora for Mac (Recommended)
- Part 2: Top 3 VSDC Video Editor for Mac Alternatives
Part 1: Best VSDC for Mac Alternative - Filmora for Mac (Recommended)
Although not completely free, Wondershare Filmora is one of the most suitable video-editing tool for Mac users. Not only is it superior to the VSDC, but it is also considered one of the most powerful utilities in the video-editing realm by critics and users. Why? Well…
- Starting with the simple interface that includes an array of features to distinguish as a sophisticated video editing tool for Mac.
- The regular addition of new features like Auto Reframe to smartly crop your video and integration of the cloud-based stock library are what make this software powerful and superior
- Plus, you can choose the presets and edit up to 4K videos at 60fps. The drag-and-drop feature allows you to add media files, and the preview section lets you see the edited video in real-time.
- The timeline is simple yet powerful, and the customizable settings allow you to use the combination of mouse, keyboard, and icons controls and make the video-editing process seamless.
So, it is not tough to discern why Filmora is considered as one of the most authoritative video editor for Mac users. Moreover, as mentioned, the software is not absolutely free. Still, you can use most of its features in free version.
Part 2: Top 3 VSDC Video Editor for Mac Alternatives
After reviewing hundreds of freeware software, we have come up with the three best VSDC alternatives.
1. ShotCut
A simple, free, and open-source software that makes the video-making process straightforward. Filled with interesting ideas and powerful features, the greatest thing about ShotCut is that besides being free — it is regularly updated and maintained by the vendor. The interface has a three-panel view and adding media files is as simple as dragging and dropping.
The software also includes rich features like keyframing, color correction, transition and lets you edit up to 4K resolution video with ease. But unlike VSDC, ShotCut does not have multiple preset transition effects and includes only 24 basic wipe-in or out effects. Still, the software has sophisticated features like Chroma Key and allows you to utilize third-party addons for text and titles as the application does not have many of them.
Pros:
- Lightweight for a sophisticated video-editor
- The interface is simple and convenient and allows you to customize the toggles as per your preference
- Numerous output options — supports major formats and offers you to export the footage in any format
- Completely free platforms plus cross-platform support
Cons:
- The app does not allow you to create layers automatically.
- It could be tough for a newbie to work on ShotCut.
- The application takes too long to show the applied effects; even simple transition effects suffer from latency.
2. OpenShot
Another free and open-source program, OpenShot, has the ability to give you high-quality output with minimal effort. The software includes all the basic functions like resizing, scaling, trimming, and audio mixing with real-time previews. Plus, it also incorporates features for animated-based keyframing and creating 2D animation with image sequencing.
Moreover, like the VSDC, there are also presets to give 3D effects like snowfall, text, and lens flares, and other effects to the video. Nonetheless, if you want to take these into your hand and need more flexibility over transition, effects, filters, and more then you will have to look elsewhere. Because although great, OpenShot does have gaps and excludes critical features, meaning if you want to give artistic effects and personalize the video as much as possible, OpenShot is not suitable for you.
Pros:
- OpenShot user-friendly, intuitive interface enables users to utilize all the editing functions effortlessly.
- The dedicated preview-video section allows you to view the edited video in real-time and see if everything is done perfectly or not.
- Includes some basic 2D and 3D transition, plus it also includes filters and effects.
- Audio equalizer lets you work on every aspect of the audio and tune the music finely.
