Can't edit slow motion after downloading to. Macbook

It used to be you could edit the slow motion of a slow motion video on your macbook after downloading the slow motion video from your iPhone to your Macbook. This does not seem to be possible anymore as I cannot adjust the slowmotion in Quicktime the way I could before (and thus restore the precious audio that has been lost to the slow motion). Anyone know how to get around this problem? I need the audio from the slow motion clip but I deleted it from my phone! When I airdrop the video back to my iPhone the slow motion controls are no longer available in the edit pane. What a pain!

Hi Root16,

To edit slow motion videos from your iPhone on your Mac, don't AirDrop them but transfer them to the Photos app by following Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC. Here you can use iCloud Photos or follow:

"Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac with a USB cable.
Open the Photos app on your computer.
The Photos app shows an Import screen with all the photos and videos that are on your connected device. If the Import screen doesn't automatically appear, click the device's name in the Photos sidebar.
If asked, unlock your iOS or iPadOS device using your passcode. If you see a prompt on your iOS or iPadOS device asking you to Trust This Computer, tap Trust to continue.
Choose where you want to import your photos. Next to "Import to," you can choose an existing album or create a new one.
Select the photos you want to import and click Import Selected, or click Import All New Photos.
Wait for the process to finish, then disconnect your device from your Mac."

Alternatively, you can Change clip speed in iMovie on Mac as well. The original video does not have to be shot in slow motion.

Take care.
