  How do I get the best SLowMo from HD footage?

  Posted by Leon Schroder on September 3, 2009 at 9:03 pm

  Hi everyone,

  I have footage recorded with a Casio Exilim F1 (HD 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps). I thought that that would be ideal to use for slow motion since we normally use 25fps (Netherlands) without losing quality.

  I just can’t seem to get the sequence settings right in FCP. If I let FCP adjust the sequence when I put the footage on the timeline the framerate goes back to 59 fps.

  Can you please advise me on what would be the best way to get a good result?
  I do the editing work on a the latetst model of MacBook Pro.

  Thanks!

  Convert the footage to ProRes. Then use CINEMA TOOLS to conform the footage to the frame rate you want. This is destructive, meaning it will alter the clip you converted, and you can’t change it back.
