![]() ![]() If you’ve yet to upgrade to the iPhone 5s, then I definitely suggest you check out Slo-mo Mod, which is free of charge on Cydia’s BigBoss repo. Slo-mo Mod is giving you one of the iPhone 5s’ most noteworthy features for free, and it works much better than one would expect on previous generation devices like the iPhone 5 or iPod touch 5th generation. You generally shouldn’t need to use this unless you experience issues.Īlthough the resulting slow motion video wasn’t as silky smooth as you’ll find with the native slow motion mode found on the iPhone 5s, it’s hard to complain about this jailbreak tweak. This kill-switch is useful for troubleshooting issues with Camera app lag on some devices. Lastly, you’ll find a toggle to disable Slo-mo Mod altogether. The effect this will have will vary, but generally it won’t be very good with video not shot with slo motion in mind (higher frame rate video). This allows you to set the aforementioned drag handles to designate portions of the video with slow motion. With this option enabled, all recorded videos will be marked as being shot with slow motion. You’ll also find a setting to force slow motion mode for all videos. ![]() Again, I recommend keeping this setting set to stock value. You’ll find a setting for video ramp up volume, which allows you to set the volume of the slow motion portion of the video. ![]() Slow-mo Mod features a couple of additional toggles in its preferences. I recommend keeping this value set to default. The larger the value, the smoother the playback, but also the faster the playback. In this case, my frame rate will be 15 FPS, because 0.25*60 = 15 FPS. By default, the rate is set to 0.25, which means that you multiply the frame rate by the slo-mo rate to get the frame rate of the slow motion video. The amount of slow motion effect depends on the slo-mo rate configured in the tweak’s preferences. Anything between those drag handles will be reduced in speed. The vertical handles indicate where slow motion video starts and ends. It’s not as noticeable at 60 FPS as it is with 120 FPS, but it’s still noticeable.Īfter shooting your video, you can view it and move the vertical drag handles in edit mode. You’ll notice that the frame rate is much higher than normal, so the view finder will seem a little herky-jerky as you focus on your subject. ![]() Just swipe over to the “Slo-mo” section in the stock Camera app, and start shooting video. It replicates the look and feel of the stock iPhone 5s feature to a tee, and even if you’ve never used the slow motion feature before, it’s intuitive, so you’ll learn fast. As I stated at the outset, I was very impressed with how true to form this tweak is. Once you have the frame rate information configured, you can head to the stock Camera app to start enjoying slow motion mode. You can try tinkering with a frame rate higher than that, but your results may vary. If you’re running an even older device, like an iPhone 4S, you’ll definitely want to keep your FPS settings set to 30 FPS. If you stay under the 60 FPS threshold on this last-gen devices, then you should be fine. I tried to bump the FPS up to 120 on my iPod touch, but the Camera app just crashed after doing so. If you’re running an iPhone 5 or an iPod touch 5th-gen, then 60 FPS works fine. Slo-Mo mod features a preference panel in the stock settings app, and you’ll want to venture there briefly, to make sure that the FPS settings work for your device. ![]()
