  Slow Down Effects

  Posted by Josh Kline on March 9, 2013 at 6:05 am

  Hey I’m a newbie at editing, and trying to emulate the slowdown effects used so commonly in music videos these days like this one

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ_tpbriGpE

  I can’t shoot at high frame using the EOS camera I have, do I need another camera? Or can I shoot in 720p at 50/60 fields and use that?

  Also I am unable to get a smooth slow down using FCPX, is there a tutorial somewhere that can help explain the technique and how to achieve it with regular means?

  Thanks

  Sincerely

  Josh Kline

  I hope thats 60 frames per second. 60 fields per second is 30 frames since you have one odd and one even filed that makes up one frame. If you have Motion you are in luck. It’s Optical Flow is amazing. It does a great job slowing footage down.
