Slo-motion effect in music videos and commercials
I’ve been seeing a neat effect in commercials and music videos and I was wondering if this is done with computer programs like Premiere or it was just filmed that way? The effect is slow motion and it’s not your average slo-mo effect. I do know how to change the speed of a clip to make it slower or faster, but it doesn’t turn the clip into the effect I’ve been seeing on TV.
This slo-mo effect is used in so many music videos I cant even begin to tell you how many I’ve seen. The clip runs in normal speed and them it converts into slow motion, but the slo-mo is very fluid, smooth and crisp. Has anybody seen the effects I’m trying to describe here? Perhaps it was just filmed that way by varying the speed of the film threw the camera, but I’m almost certain this is a post-production computer effect.
Is this is an effect in Premiere, would it be an after effect or plug-in effect? If this effect can’t be done with Premiere, what program might you suggest I try? Thanks

i think it was shot in a camera that shot with more than 29 frames per second, and than they changed the speed in post.
in after effect there is a way to make the slow motion more fluid, but not as perfect as in movies that were shot sloewr. -
You guessed it; the best results are achieved with a fast camera. Otherwise, better results (as opposed to just changing the speed in Premiere) can be achieved with the plug-in Twixtor.

Thanks. I’ll look into that Twixtor plug-in.
