Howdy,


Watching videos in slow motion…


It seems QuickTime Player can only speed up the playback.

From: Open and play a file in QuickTime Player on Mac

You can vary the playback speed of a video using the forward or rewind button . To change the playback speed while playing the video, click the forward or rewind button until your video plays at the desired speed. Playback speeds include 2x, 5x, 10x, 30x, and 60x.

You can vary the playback speed in small increments (from 1.1x to 2x) by Option-clicking the forward or rewind button while the video is playing.


You COULD import the video into iMovie and change the clip speed.


But you may want to go 3rd party and use an app like:


VLC for Mac OS X which can slow it down to quarter speed, 0.25x


or Elmedia Video Player

which can go all the way down to 0.01x speed.


or whichever media player you choose.
