Did you know that they are two different types of slow-motion videos, or high-framerate videos?

There are real-time videos and menial-method videos. Here is a short and simplified explanation.

Here is a side-by-side comparison during recording. As you can see, the menial method does encode the output video file at an altered speed.

The real-time method treats the output video file as a normal video but with elevated frame rate.

This has the benefit that the video can be treated in more versatile ways: Both as normal video and as slow-motion video.

Such a video can be played back at original speed, or slowed down if needed. The same can be done during video editing.

The playback speed indicated in the video player matches the real-time speed during recording, while this is not the case with menial slow motion videos.

In addition, only the real-time slow motion videos contain an audio track inside the video file, while the menial slow motion videos lack audio.

However, very old devices such as the Galaxy S3 Mini face issues playing back real-time slow motion videos.

In terms of functionality, the real-time slow motion method is superior.

These are the differences between these both kinds of slow motion video.

If you are more interested in this topic, read this section of the slow motion Wikipedia article, which contains all relevant information.
