Two important new features will arrive with iOS 18 listed just recently from Apple: the ability to change the speed of videos in the Photos app and new features for iCloud Mail.
Change Video Speed with iOS 18
With the arrival of iOS 18Apple has introduced a new feature in its app Photo which allows you to change the playback speed of videos after recording them. This new option offers users greater flexibility in the post-production process, allowing them to vary the frame rate directly from the app without having to use external tools.
During the presentation of the new iPhone 16Apple has announced the ability to change the playback speed of captured videos, a feature that is particularly useful for content creators and those who love working with video formats. What makes this feature even more interesting is the fact that it is not limited to the latest iPhone models, but will also be available for older iPhones that will be updated to iOS 18.
The function of Playback Speed was included in the iOS 18 Release Candidate and allows you to slow down the playback speed of high frame rate videos. Users will be able to choose from several frame rate options, including 240, 120, 60, 48, 30, and 24 frames per second. This variety offers the ability to create unique visual effects, giving videos a more artistic or cinematic feel.
While the Photos app has always allowed you to adjust the playback speed of specific sections of Slo-mo videos, Playback Speed is a separate control that lets you easily adjust the speed of an entire video. To access this feature, simply open the video editing interface in the Photos app and tap the timer icon in the top right.
The new models of iPhone 16 Pro support 4K video at 120 fps, both in Slo-mo and Standard Video mode. The ability to change the playback speed in post-production eliminates the need to decide on a frame rate right away, giving you the freedom to experiment with different speeds after recording your video. During the reveal event, Apple detailed some of the new options:
- 1/4 speed playback: perfect for slowing down videos and adding a “dreamlike” effect.
- Half speed option: ideal for creating a fluid but slowed-down effect, useful in various creative situations.
- Playback at 1/5 speed: corresponds to a frame rate of 24fps, ideal for achieving a cinematic look.
These tools offer a more intuitive and creative approach to video editing, making it easier to create content directly from your smartphone.
