Best Slow Motion Camera and Video Apps for Android
1. Slow Motion Video FX
Slow Motion Video FX is the best slow motion camera and video app for Android.

When you launch the app and tap on the “Start Slow Motion” button, it will ask you, if you want to record a slow-motion video or convert an already existing one.
Depending on your choice, the app will then either open the camera app for recording your video or lets you search in your video library. Once you have shot or selected your video, you can set the speed anywhere between 0 to 1. The closer the value to zero, the slower your video will be.
If you choose a value above 1, instead of creating a slow-motion video, the app will create a hyperlapse video. The best part about using this app is that the slow-motion videos look really natural and do not feature any frame drops or stutter. If you are looking for an app to create slow motion videos on your Android device, this is the app to do that. The app is free to use with ads, however, there is an in-app purchase option which removes the ads.
