how to do smooth slow motion in capcut
braza points at the hidden 'optical flow' / smooth toggle so your slow motion is buttery, not choppy.
slowing a clip down in capcut is easy - making it look smooth instead of choppy is the part nobody tells you. the secret is the 'smooth slow' / optical flow setting, which generates in-between frames so motion stays fluid. here's where it hides.
or do it yourself
- 1select the clip you want to slow down.
- 2click 'speed' in the toolbar, then 'normal'.
- 3drag the speed slider below 1x (e.g. 0.3x) to slow it.
- 4turn on 'smooth slow' (optical flow) - this is the toggle that fills in frames so it isn't choppy.
- 5preview; for the smoothest result, use footage shot at a high frame rate (60fps+).

downloadcommon questions
why is my slow motion choppy in capcut?
you slowed the clip without enabling 'smooth slow' / optical flow - turn that on so capcut generates the missing frames.
does smooth slow motion work on any video?
it helps any clip, but footage filmed at 60fps or higher slows down far more cleanly than standard 24-30fps video.
