learn how to post your iPhone 5S slow-motion videos to services like instagram
With iOS 7 and the iPhone 5S, Apple has introduced a wonderful new slow-motion video feature in the default Camera.app. The trick is that the iPhone doesn’t record in slow-motion at all. Instead, the device records in real-time but it captures more frames than your eye can perceive. While the average online video is displayed at 30fps, the iPhone 5S camera records at 4x that number, capturing 120fps ( frames per second ).
Played at its normal speed, 120 frames a second is awesome for filming things like sports, as you can see moves and plays more clearly. But for most, the fun comes when you slow it down. Apple has built software into the Camera and Photos apps that let you automatically slow a portion of your 120fps video so that it displays at 30fps—and make look really cool in the process, too.
Unfortunately, Apple’s Slo-Mo tool only applies to clips that the Camera or Photos app exports—and the only way you can currently do that is through the Share sheet, which only supports YouTube, Facebook, and Vimeo. Try and upload a video to a third-party app like Instagram, and all you can post is your 120fps source video.
Luckily, the folks over at MacWorld have posted a great tutorial on how to trick the iPhone 5S and post your slow-mo videos to services like Instagram. Jump over the break to learn more…

With the iPhone 5s, Apple introduced 120 FPS video capture at 720p and now, a new Cydia tweak dubbed ‘Slo-Mo Mod’ enables slow motion video capturing to all the unsupported devices. Before getting too excited about this tweak, you should know that you can’t record at 120 FPS with older devices due to hardware limitations. But Slo-Mo Mod allows you to record at 60 FPS up from 30 FPS. Bottom line… yes, this tweak brings slo-mo video capturing to unsupported devices, but it won’t be anywhere near as smooth as it is on the iPhone 5s.
