Sloooow-moooooo
Hi there,
On a bright sunny day, we shot some action sequences with the camera’s shutter speed way up in the 300s and 400s.Just put it through AE and slowed it right down by 500%, and it looks pretty good – very little motion blur. However, there is a bit of stutter between frames and I was wondering if there was a way to smooth it out.
Cheers in advance,
Neil

when you sharpened up your frames with shorter shutter speeds, you made the intervals between the frames much longer but you did not increase the number of discrete time slices you captured.
For buttery smooth slow motion, you must have more than 30 frames per second. You need like 90 or even 2,000.
There are several products that will attempt to create the pixels you do not have. Sometimes Apple’s SmoothCam can do it but you generally need an expensive thingy like Revision’s Twixtor.
Hope you get better advice, stay tuned.

Have you tried the different frame blending modes? Sometimes they’re good enough.

In final cut yes – and they’ve not made much difference. I haven’t tried it in AE yet – will see what happens and report back!
