DVX100 24p Advanced vs. Magic Bullet Frames
Hello,
I am a new user of the DVX100B. It’s great!!I was wondering if there was a difference between using the DVX100 24p in camera or using a post editing 24p program like Magic Bullet Frames?
The reason I ask is because I have been reading that if you want to do slo-mo you should shoot at 60i.
Please advise.
Thank You,

Thanks Dave.
I have the DVX so that is the camera that I want to maximize it’s usage. The camera makes great images. =) for me at least.
A question I have is, if I already have footage shot at 24p advanced, is there any trick to make the slow motion smoother than I am getting with the native slo-mo effects in Premiere?
Thank You,

If you shoot at 30p then import that footage into a 23.98 timeline and set it’s speed to 80% you can get frame for frame full resolution slow motion from the DVX100. It looks really smooth, but it’s not as slow as you want some of the times, cause your really only locked into that one speed to be able to keep the resolution.
As for converting 60i to 23.98 with software or just shooting 24p Advanced, you’ll save yourself the headache of waiting for the software to process it if you just shoot 24p Advanced to start, and the software I’ve seen doesn’t look as natural as the in camera, because the DVX100 literally shoots at 23.98 fps in that mode and it’s just encoded into 29.97 to fit the DV codec. If you remove the extra frames on import you get the exact same 23.98 fps that you shot and not some interpolation of what it could have looked like.
