I have a Yi Action Camera. It is a low-end GoPro alternative.

• Ambarella A7LS chipset, low-power digital signal processing (DSP) technology, high-definition (HD) H.264/ MJPEG video engine and a 700-MHz ARM11 applications processor. 
• Sony IMX206, 1/2.3″, 16MP CMOS image sensor with Exmor R ability / Panasonic MN34120PA, 1/2.3″, 16MP CMOS image sensor 
• 1080P/60FPS, 720P/120FPS, 848*480/240FPS 
• Bluetooth (4.0BLE low power consumption) and Built-in (802.11 bgn) Single band 2.4G Wi-Fi 

I tried to use video capture function of this camera at the followin settings:

1280×720 @120fps

I took 10 seconds video and move the video to the computer. It just has a higher frame rate, but not slow motion.

Then I tried to find the software, which can help me convert the video to slow motion one.

At last, I found the free tool, ffmpeg.

Download the ffmpeg windows bin file.

https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

I chose the latest static windows 64bit build. It is a package. I only need the ffmpeg.exe file. Find it in the package and extract it to the working directory.

Put the original video file in the same folder.

Run the following command in the command window.

ffmpeg -i ydxj1364.mp4 -filter:v "setpts=5*PTS" -r 25 test-1364.mp4

ydxj1364.mp4 is the original video file.
test-1364.mp4 is the output file name.
-filter:v “setpts=5*PTS” is to slow down the video by 5 times.
-r 25 is to force the output file to 25fps.

The command I run above has the following output.
