Changing footage to slow-mo makes the quality terrible. Why?
When I change the footage to 50% or less duration for slow motion why does the footage quality get real bad? Like if you pause it you can see double of some elements and the overal quality is just either blurry or poor. Is there any way to get high quality slow motion?

Hi Tommmm,
Decent slow motion effects require quite sophisticated frame blending – which you can only get with compositing apps like Boris Red & After Effects. In an editing app like Premiere Pro it’s usually a pretty hit and miss affair…usually miss…depends a lot on the source footage and the percentage of slow down you go for.

The destination is not important..its the journey that matters.

In Premiere Pro? No. I would take a look at a few posts down that discuss this exact same topic and a few other alternatives.

If I shoot at a 120 shutter and slow my footage down 50 percent and then deinterlace it. I can get pretty good results. By doing this you are getting back to 1/60 where dv should be shot at for maximun results.
If this is not good enough try using after effects if you have it. It does a much better job.

does AE automatically do a better job? Or do I need to apply certain filters/effects?

Define “automatically”. After Effects has a feature called Time Remapping, that does a great job.

As mentioned in a few threads below, the PPro plugins, Twixtor or Boris Continuum Optical Flow will do ramping and super-slomo within a clip directly on the PPro timeline. You can get some “distortion” depending on the image material and movement within the shot.

And let’s not forget the new Pixelmotion setting in AE 7. I have used it with amazing results in ordinary DV and DVCAM footage.
