slo-mo blues

[Kent Beeson]

Thanks for the advice, I wouldn’t have known to do that, appreciated…can’t believe doing something so common and necessary as “slo-mo” is so hit and miss in FCP!

Slo-mo is simple with a film camera or a specialized (but expensive) video recording device just recording faster than the intended speed of projection.

It’s a very complex process in software after the fact if you don’t have more frames per second than standard speed! Only in recent years the advances in software technology and computer speed have made any slo-mo possible that mimicks the real thing to some degree.

I found a fix for 50% slo mos. Turn off frame blending, copy the 50% clip and place it on V2
de-interlace V1 with odd field. De- interlace V2 with even field. Then set opacity on V2 to around 60% (experiment) looks gorgeous

Aside from any slomo issues, that’s an old recipe for making a progressive film look.

All the best,
