  Slow Motion with final cut – stagnant frames?? On deadline :-((

  Posted by Eightfish on June 15, 2006 at 4:34 pm

  Hi All,

  I’m on a tight deadline and if I had hair, would be pulling it all out right now…

  Have a really problematic question. I have a PAL 25fps clip about 1.2minutes in length which I want to slow down to 30% or it’s original speed, increasing the length of the clip to about 6 minutes. For some reason, when I convert it over to 6+ minutes, I keep finding stagnant frames – for example – if frame blending is turned off, 30% means every frame is repeated about 3 to 4 times, but sometimes, every now and then, that goes to about 6 to 7 frames, creating a rough – stop action like feeling which i don’t want.

  I’m not using any filters – all I’m doing is under the motion tab, changing the “Speed %” to 30%

  I know there is other software available for Slow motion effect, but does anyone know why this is happening or how I can correct it? I thought maybe it was a FPS issue, or even the original footage – but I checked the original footage and there doesn’t seem to be any problems with it (no missing frames).

  I’d be grateful for your help!
