I uploaded to facebook and downloaded to my computer but the video is full speed on both of those. What gives?
Got a tip for us?

Slow motion videos only slow-mo on phone?

Not sure what the deal is with mine. Tried two videos and they both download as full speed.
tried emailing a video and that played in slow motion but when I use iPhoto or image capture to get it off my phone it plays at full speed.
So I tried uploading to facebook, sending as a message, downloading to my computer and nothing worked. The only thing that worked was emailing it to myself. The problem with this is the video can't be over a certain length.
Loses quality and I shouldn't have to do that. It should download properly without going through those extra steps. It seems to work for other people correctly.
I know we are talking about Facebook, but someone said they won't upload to YouTube because it can't accept 120FPS. If that's true I'll be disappointed. I'd have guessed the same for Facebook but another member said theirs uploaded "as expected."

The slow motion videos are played back at 30fps a second (that's why it's in slow motion - you recorded at 120 fps and playback at 30fps).
So Facebook just needs to display 30 fps, which it does.
There's something flakey with Apples software when sharing the slow motion videos.
If you have to open in iMovie that defeats the purpose of having that feature built into the camera. Something ain't right.
Works on YouTube.

AirDrop to an iPhone 5 also worked.

Yes, has to be exported from the share sheet to show in slow mo.
Which means you can use the email back door for any service not listed.
Not a chance I am downloading my friends list into my contacts. Is there a way to turn that off?
I don't have my Facebook friends list in my contacts. I simply shared it to my wall from the camera app.
When I was about to do that it brought up a screen that said my friends would be added to my contacts in my phone.
Is there a way to change the fps flag on the 120 fps Quicktime file to 30 fps so it can play in slomo in Quicktime? Cinema Tools (part of Final Cut Studio) was able to do this with the Conform feature, but I think it only recognizes 23.98, 24, 25, and 29.97 frame rates, not 120 fps.
Let it do it. Go into Settings > Facebook then untick the contacts option. Job done.
