How to create slowmo?

You have a couple of options.
1. Speed adjust the 50P down to 50%. This option is a pain in the butt and doesn’t look as good IMHO.

2. Use the DVCPRO HD frame converter tool on the 50P footage to make 25P clips. This option takes time and cannot be batched but the resulting footage is excellent slow mo.

3. Use Cinema Tools to conform the 50P to 25. This option is fast and can be batched and yields the same quality as the frame converter tool. However it does permanently alter the metadata of the 50P clips. So DO NOT do this to your original source clips.

YOu shoot 720p50 and then slow it down later with the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter.

There are settings in the camera to make it slow motion instantly…I think it is choosing the 720p50 setting, but the 25fps frame rate. Test and see.

You shoot 720p25N, but change the frame rate to 50. Keep the PN setting, and change only the frame rate.

Thanks for all de answers.

When i import from the P2 card using log and transfer, is there a way to see which clip is filmed with 25 or 50 fps. When importing footage with both kind of clips, should i uncheck the remove pulldown and duplicate frames checkbox? Or is there an another way to get the footage as 50 frames into fcp? Feeling a bit confused using the log and transfer.

Thank u very much,
