SLMotion is a compact software solution for fulfilling simple requests.
SLMotion is a software tool that satisfies a small yet specific request in the realm of video editing. As a filmmaker, I needed to create a special effect for a video clip: slow down the video and then speed it up again, much like professional films. Despite searching for a compatible tool for Linux, I couldn't find one that worked, so I decided to make one myself – this is where SLMotion comes in.
The process of running the tool is straightforward. Firstly, un-tar the archive and open it. Then, load the video that requires editing and select the portion of it that needs the desired effect. It's important to choose the target frames precisely to apply the effect successfully. After this, choose the degree to which you want to reduce the video's speed, and you're ready to go.
There are several requirements that must be met to run SLMotion successfully. These include Transcode, MjpegTools >= 1.6.3, and Mplayer. Fortunately, these are widely available and easy to obtain.
A recent update to SLMotion allows for even more customization; you can now edit each image using GIMP before slow video, creating even more complex and detailed special effects.
In summary, SLMotion is a simple yet effective tool for achieving specific video editing effects, especially when other software fails to meet your needs. The tool is easy to use and requires a few requirements, but also has enough features to allow users the freedom of creativity to create more complex special effects.
