  Importing iPhone 5s SLO-MO Mode video

  Posted by David Eaks on September 26, 2013 at 7:48 am

  I’m curious if anyone has had a chance to import video recorded with the iPhone 5s’ 1280×720 120p SLO-MO Mode.

  Mainly I’m interested in what happens within (and outside of) the I/O points from the iPhone user interface, which determines the portion of video that will playback in slo-mo.

  How does the slow-mo portion effect the file when saved to your media drive? Does it disregard the I/O points and just provide a full 120fps file? Or is it exactly how you made it in the the UI (normal-slow-normal) conformed to 30p?

  Hoping that I can just get a full, unaltered, 120fps file into FCPX for editing. I’m thinking that pulling the handles all the way to the first/last frame before the file transfer will do it.

  I’ve been having a lot of fun with the 5s camera over the last two days. It’s my last night in Hawaii, wanting to take best advantage of my last moments of photo/video opportunities but with a little more knowledge of what exactly happens when the clips are imported.

  Thanks

  From the last paragraph on the page linked below, it seems that the video files are unaffected by the iPhones slo-mo UI. Just import, optimize, conform. If so, Perfect!
