  • Question re: 60fps to 24fps, GH3 and Final Cut

    Hello

    I shot a music video, with a lot of the shots at 60fps. It was borrowed from a friend and I couldn’t quite figure out how to set it for 48fps (if that’s even possible). During shooting, the original song was sped up 2x and performed as such, to give a slow-motion effect in the final product (as the performer couldn’t keep up with 2.5x)
    I used 5dtorgb to convert the avchd files to prores. But now in Final Cut, after slowing the clips down by 50%, I have ‘ghosting’- every other frame seems to be a composite of two separate frames.

    Essentially, I shot in 60fps and am finishing in 24fps, but the performance needs to only be slowed by half.

    My question is, is there anything I can do to fix the ghosting issue? From what I understand, it seems like a tradeoff of either frame interpolation or ‘throwing away’ frames, as 60fps (or 30fps) will not divide evenly into 24fps. But I was hoping someone else out there may have a solution for me. Thanks for any help, it’s greatly appreciated.
