Canon XL2 / 60i / Slow Motion
Wow, the “subject” was tough to describe. I wrote Canon XL2 / 60i / Slow Motion because my question encompasses all three.
So, I shoot in 24pa, and I edit in FCP in a 24 timeline, and I’m trying on honing my skills with slow-motion. I know that it isn’t easy to do with many cameras but I heard that there is a way to capture 60i footage and import it into FCP to be used for 24p slow motion.
I have some 60i footage shot at 1/120, and I’m trying to figure out what to do next. Anyone have any ideas?
I don’t have AE, just FCP. If there’s a way to do some conversion with CT then I can because I have CT as well, but no Adobe stuff.
Thank you,

” heard that there is a way to capture 60i footage and import it into FCP to be used for 24p slow motion.”
You conform your footage to 24p in Cinema Tools. I don’t think you can do it with 60i though. I think you can only do it with 60p and 30p, but I could be wrong.

Bring your footage into Motion and use the Optical Flow option in the Timing section of the Properties tab in the Inspector

I just struggled with this myself, you can see my thread on it in the FCP Basics section: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/200/885303
But most importantly, I found a good tutorial at:

I’m shooting HDV with the XLH1, but the process is the same, only you don’t have to mess around with the peculiarities of HDV. Shoot the rest of your project 24P, shoot your slow mo 60i with a shutter speed of at least 1/120 and then follow the tutorial to convert it in After Effects. There may be other ways, but this appears to work.
Hope this helps.
