  • Slow Mo to Normal Speed?

    Hey Guys…I posted this in the Panasonic forum as well; didn’t really know where I would find the most help. I did a search but didn’t see what I was looking for; any help you guys could provide would be great.

    I haven’t done any editing in a while, so I’m admittedly rusty, but I can’t seem to figure this one out. I have a ton of watersports footage shot with an HPX-170 in the overcrank slow motion setting. The shots look unreal in slow-mo, but I need to use them at regular speed and no matter how much or how little I manipulate the speed, it just doesn’t look natural. It’s jerky, or it’s blurry, or it’s too fast/slow, or it’s all of the above. The bottom line is that it looks like garbage.

    Is there a way I can adjust or manipulate slow-mo footage to play at normal speed and make it look natural? Any help would be very much appreciated; here are the details.
