REGULAR 720, 24p footage that needs to be slowed down in FCP
I have unmolested 720, 24p footage that i need to slowdown. This footage wasn’t overcranked and when I slow it down in my timeline in FCP version 5.1.4, it freezes the image. Does anybody know what to do about all this?
thnx

Anything much slower than 24fps will have a herky jerky look–it’s a law of nature. I’d look for a plug-in that can generate in-between frames and then find a way to stylize the footage to the extent that it creates the mood you want and covers the flaws.

so FCP will not just slow it down like it would other footage?
do you recommend any plug-ins for this?
thnx

Sure it will slow it down like other footage, but 24fps slowed down looks worse than 30fps slowed down. And there is no way that 24fps slowed down will look nearly as good as 60fps slowed down, frame by frame with the FRC…to 23.98.

Shake or Twixtor.

sorry, my original question is not to do w/ how shitty it will look but that i’m not physically able to slow it down in the timeline… it simply freezes, does anybody have anything for me?

With the original clip highlighted in your timeline hit the buttons Apple-option-f to match frame back to the original file on the disk.
With the viewer selected, hit apple-j to bring up the speed change options.
Enter a percentage or a target time you want your footage to be.
Mark an in and an out and edit that now slowed down clip into your timeline
