  Varicam Slow motion

  Posted by Tim Maloney on August 6, 2008 at 12:06 am

  Hello All,

  I’ve got some varicam footage shot at 60 fps ( 60 HZ ) shutter 180 degrees.

  I’ve got in 108050i after using the Frame Rate converter or DVCPRO50 codec.

  Whats the best way to slow it down another 50% smoothly.

  In FCP using a plugin – Twixtor???

  Motion using – Motion??

  Nattress Plugins

  Any other clues??

  Best

  Any of those will work. Your term “best” is meaninglessly relative, so is s”mooth” since you have included free-and-easy as well super expensive options. The choice of method is secondary to your image needs.
  if you need it to look like it was shot properly overcranked, there is no option. If you can accept visual compromises, use optical flow.

  This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
