  720p60 at 60 frames to 24p in timeline

  Posted by Eric Olson on August 12, 2011 at 2:59 am

  Ok, a bit of confusion: I shot some butterflies with the hvx hoping to overcrank the camera and get some nice slo-mo shots. I didn’t have a whole lot of time to RTFM and I set the record setting to 720p60 and the scene file frame rate to 60frames.

  What would be the best way to convert this to a straight 24p footage so it plays in slow motion? (And I still don’t understand why there are seemingly two places in the menu to choose the frame rate.)

  Muchas Gracias,

  Eric

  Use Film Mode to overcrank.

  Take your time and RTFM. You will learn a lot faster than asking questions on this forum.

  With the footage you have now, bring that into your NLE and use speed control to slow it down. Keep your sequence setting at 720p60.

  Wow, thanks for that totally condescending and unhelpful response.

  I’m guessing that I can do something in Cinema Tools. Anyone?

  Hi Eric,
  sorry for the late jump in.
  interested in how the slowmo came out?
  did you use cinema tools?
  I do a lot of filming with skiing at 60fps for over cranking, and use cinema tools for slowing. that has been great. sometimes I need to slow down more and I am using twixtor.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi Sean,

  Yes, I successfully used cinema tools. Here’s the video if you are interested in seeing the results:

  I would have liked to see less blur in the butterflies wings when the butterflies take to the air. However, in order to capture that I probably would have needed to overcrank more than 60p or perhaps used a faster shutter?

  Thanks for the tip on twixtor.

  Eric

  Nice job
  BTW I thought Steve’s response was rude and uncalled for. Did you convert all the footage to 23.976 or did you drop some 59.94 fps footage directly into the 23.976 time line?
  I am running some test time lines that mix, several frame rates, but always interested in what others are experiencing
