    You will get the smoothest results by shooting it overcranked. If you’ve shot something at 30 fps, and play it half as fast, it’s obviously going to be 15fps.

    There are some plug-ins, such as Twixtor, that will do a decent job interpreting what half-way between frames should look like, but there is a risk of weird little artifacts if it interprets the raw footage wrong.

    What do you mean by overcranking? How do you exactly do that? Thanks.

    That’s how they shoot slow motion with film. They speed up the camera, for example capturing 48 fps so when it is played back at 24 it is slow motion. Some of the more expensive video cameras are equipped to do this as well.
