If you're like me, you love filming at 60fps and 120fps.

Slow motion footage not only looks great, it can cover up so many flaws when filmmaking, like shaky footage or almost missing a moment.

But here's where most video editors get it wrong: They film everything at 60 or 120fps, and then they make the entire edit slow motion as well.

And the audience not only notices, they get tired of it.

For a wedding film, do you really need to be showing the groom button his tuxedo at 120fps?

No! But I have seen it in dozens of wedding films.

Here's the secret: Just because you filmed in a high frame rate, doesn't mean you need to edit in slow motion.

Instead, use slow motion sparingly throughout your video, as a way to emphasize the most emotional moments of the film.

This not only holds your audience's attention, it enhances the story you are trying to tell.

Filming at 60 and 120fps is a great way to give yourself more flexibility in post, but if you really want to take advantage of that flexibility, you have to have a mix of slow motion and real-time clips.

Your edits will improve instantly.
