  • make slow mo with footage look like regular speed

    In FCP7 whats the correct speed change to speed up footage shot in slow motion. I have some ARRI Alexa footage which was shot at 48 fps and 72fps which I need to play at regular speed. My sequence is 23.98. All my attempts end with a weird stutter. I don’t really like the frame blending effect.

    Have you tried 200.167% for the 48fps and 300.25% for the 72fps? I don’t think you should need to use any frame blending for this.

    the footage was never transcoded and plays native at 23.98. i think the alexa doesn’t need to be transcoded and records native at Prores and other compatible formats. its 444.

    so far it looks like 250% works well, but im going to try those percentages as well.

    200% for the 48fps
    300% for the 72fps

    this will give a playback speed of 24fps. close enough to 23.976.

    when you make the speed changes, turn off frame blending.

    i wouldn’t be too surprised if some of your stuttering is due to playing Prores4444 clips with effects.

    Math. 59.94/23.98=2.49958

    250%

    yeah would have never thought to divide that but worked perfectly.
