Mainly iPhone related- what is the slow motion video setting good for when I can take a normal video and edit it slower in iMovie? Mainly which would result in higher quality, a 1 minute video slowed down in iMovie that is therefore longer or a 1 minute slow motion video that is automatically slower when played back?
In: 1
A video is nothing but a series of photos taken very very quickly, played back to you at the same rate (ignore audio for this, of course)
If you slow down your video on iMovie, you won’t magically take more photos, instead, you’ll either play these photos back at a slower rate, or, on certain softwares (not sure if iMovie will attempt this), they may try to “guess” the intermediate pictures.
Shooting on slo-mo means you take more “photos” while recording, so the quality would be better, since you’re not extrapolating from limited info, you’re actually collecting more info right at the source.
