I’m running into a problem here. I’ve taken some slow-motion videos on my iPhone, and now need to get them on my PC. But downloading them from my phone leads to the slow-motion being lost. VLC just runs the 120FPS video as though it were a standard 30FPS.

There has _got_ to be a way around this that doesn’t cost a bunch more money. Is there something like audacity, but for videos? All I need to do is have a video editor that either:  
A) Recognizes the framerate and actually plays it at 30 frames per second instead of speeding it up  
B) Allows me to import the file without losses and slow it down to the right length

Filmora solves the problem, but has a big, nasty watermark that obscures the video, making it fairly worthless for my purposes.  
Windows Movie Maker appears to have no idea what it’s doing; when I import and lengthen the file, it shreds the framerate, defeating the purpose completely and leaving me with a very choppy video file.

Anyone have any free solutions to this?

$2 is a lot cheaper than the 50 or so I’d have to pay for Pinnacle Studio. I’ll check it out. Thanks! 🙂
