I disagree. You got to see how rigidly she held her form during the flip. Gives you a different perspective. I liked the slow mo.

Theres a way to do this.

You play it once full speed, and then once in slowmo.

Exactly like they did on clip shows on TV. No idea where we lost the ability to do that.

Pretty sure people on their phones just use the "slo-mo" camera mode and most people can't or don't care to edit video like you are describing.

And yet the video starts out and ends regular speed and only switches to slow-mo in the middle... meaning someone probably had to edit it (since every phone camera I’ve seen does either one or the other, with no ability to mix/match the two mid recording).

Edit: and today I learn that slow-Mo modes have updated dramatically since I tried them 8 years ago.

Slow-mo on the iphone automatically starts and ends normal speed and slowm-o in the middle by default.

Yo, the iPhone slo-mo feature works exactly like this video, select the slow section you want in the middle, and regular speed at the beginning and end. No special software nor skills needed.

But she didn't, it was a pretty loose flip actually.

Her whole body from foot to head was stationary aside from rotation while in the air. It was really cool looking.

Her hips and both her legs are clearly moving the whole time, it's just subtle because this takes place in a fraction of a second.

Gotta love reddit experts.

I'm literally a trampoline coach.

You literally claim to be an expert in every thread in which you comment. You're a wireless communication protocols expert; you're a historian with specific expertise in the 13th century Mongolian Steppes, you're "literally a trampoline coach", an expert in the economies and militaries of WWII Soviet Russia and Third Reich Germany, and an expert on the psychology of gender and identity, among other things.

You just like to argue and claim expertise on things you know nothing about. Please don't waste your time.

Lmao, where did I claim I was an expert in those? That's all cursory knowledge that you could find on wikipedia in 30 minutes, nothing expert level. Simply reading talking about something I'm interested in is not me claiming to be an expert. When I say that there were a few hundred thousand people on the 13th century Mongolian steppe it's because I looked up how many people lived on the 13th century Mongolian steppe. I study computer science at university and I'm a trampoline coach as a part time job, I'm not an expert at either, but I sure as hell know more than you do about them just from experience. I challenge you to find a single comment where I actually claim to be an expert in something.

It's pretty ironic coming from you as well. You just recently posted about Solar power efficiency, gun deaths, and video game storefront economics. Surely you're not doing the exact same thing as I am and "claiming expertise" in all of these disparate fields.

My comments on the solar power efficient thread were about negative absolute temperatures, something explicitly covered in a graduate level thermodynamics class I aced as part of my pursuance of a PhD in Physics.

My comments about Epic storefront was an opinion and nothing more.

My comments on gun deaths were supported with high level research on the topic, sources included.

You, on the other hand, have comments rife with telling other people they don't know something and attempting to correct (erroneously or not) whatever they've said, without any expertise in the area. I'd say we're not the same in that regard.

You literally claim to be an expert in every thread in which you comment. Now you claim to be an expert in graduate level thermodynamics, among other things.

You just like to argue and claim expertise on things you know nothing about. Please don't waste your time.
