How to Get Perfect Slow-Motion 360 Booth Videos

The difference between an amateur spin and the viral kind is almost entirely in the slow-motion settings: frame rate, where the slow-mo starts, and how long it holds.

Frame rate: why 240 fps matters

Slow motion is just extra frames played back slowly. At 60 fps you can slow footage to ¼ speed before it stutters; at 240 fps you get buttery 1/8-speed motion — confetti hanging in the air, dresses mid-twirl. BoothLab records 720p, 1080p, or 4K from 60 to 240 fps; use 720p/1080p @ 240 fps when slow-mo is the star, and 4K @ 60 fps when daylight detail matters more than extreme slow-down.

The anatomy of a great spin

1. Seconds 0–1 (real time): the arm accelerates, guests strike the pose.
2. Seconds 1–4 (slow motion): the money shot — hair, confetti, and champagne mid-air.
3. Seconds 4–8 (real time + reverse): snap back to speed, then the reverse effect plays the spin backwards for a boomerang finish.

Dial it in with BoothLab

1. Open Settings → Video Settings.
2. Set Record time to 8.0 seconds — long enough for two full rotations on most platforms.
3. Set Slowmo start time to 1.0 s and Slowmo duration to 3.0 s, then check the timeline preview showing exactly where the slow-mo band falls.
4. Toggle Reverse on for the playback flip.
5. Under Rear Camera, choose your lens and a preset like 1280×720p @ 240 fps.

Troubleshooting

• Motion blur in the slow-mo: add light. High frame rates need fast shutter speeds; an LED tube fixes what no setting can.
• Slow-mo hits before the action: nudge the start time later — guests need that first second to commit to the pose.
• Choppy playback: confirm the preset actually says 240 fps; older devices cap at 60 fps at 4K.

All of this is a settings panel, not an editing job
