Have you recently watched a Youtube video and wondered how they did whatever they are doing on the video? Maybe it was a training video or perhaps it was just some guy posting a video to the world with some sort of gimmick. If you could only slow the Youtube video down so that you could see exactly how they did whatever they doing?

Moreover, wouldn’t it be nice if you could also zoom-in to view part of video screen more closely- say a person’s hands or their feet, or an object in the video.

There are countless examples where being able to slow down and zoom-in with video would be useful. Are you a weekend warrior that plays golf or tennis? Wouldn’t it be useful to shoot some video of yourself while you are at the driving range and analyze it to see what you are doing wrong. What about musicians? A guitarist is trying to learn a new song with a very fast solo. He has a video of the solo being played, but it is just too fast for him to hear or see how the pro is playing it in the video--- slowing the footage down and zooming in would be a BIG help. A third example might be a dancer that needs to critique their routine. The ability to zoom-in and slowdown a video of their performance would be very useful.

The bottom line is that anyone that uses video as part of their training, instruction, teaching, lessons, or learning would find such functions useful. The list of potential applications is virtually endless.

There are at least three sources of video that a person learning or teaching with video might consider. The first is Youtube and the thousands of other sites on the Internet that contain video. These videos represent virtually an unlimited library of material that can be used. Youtube is the largest single video sharing site on the Internet and you can find videos on almost any topic or field of interest.

The second source of video is from your home video camera. If you are learning something new or taking lessons, you can film your self and then review and critique that video to help you understand you strengths and weakness.

A third source of video is the many DVD video courses and lessons that are offered for sale on the internet. Whether you need to improve your golf swing, become a better guitarist or drummer, learn to ballroom dance, or want to land that first double axle there is almost certainly a DVD video course or instruction that you can buy to help you learn.

With the myriad potential uses for a tool or app that can slow down and zoom video you’d think there would be a plethora of choices - but you’d be wrong. There are some higher end programs used in sports, or physical therapy or crime prevention, but surprisingly there is very little for the broad consumer based market.

A search on the internet reveals only two products available in the consumer market. Once is called Slo-Mo Director and the second one is called Video Surgeon. Of the two, Video Surgeon is easily the superior product, with far more features. In fact Slo-Mo Director only slows, in cannot zoom. Video Surgeon not only slows down and zooms in, but it also enables the use of loop point for repeated playing – plus it can open and convert between most common video file types. In addition it contains a number of other useful features.
