Lightworks: Create slow motion - how it works

Lightworks is a powerful video editing and editing tool that you can use for free on Windows. Slow motion can also be created in just a few simple steps. We show you how to do this.

Create slow motion in Lightworks

You can quickly set up a slow motion in Lightworks by changing the playback speed of the video:

1. Open Lightworks and import your video clip.
2. Click on the blue "Create a new edit" icon on the left and drag your clip into the editing window.
3. Then select the video track "V1" with the mouse.
4. Now click on "Advanced" at the bottom right to display the playback speed of the individual tracks.
5. Click in the field that says "100%" and select a correspondingly lower value, such as "25%". Of course, you can also enter an individual percentage.
6. Repeat this process for the audio tracks. The entire clip is then played in slow motion.

For a long time, Lightworks was only available in English. In this practical tip we show how you can now switch the language to German.
