Taking the Blur Out of a Lengthened Shot…
I’ve got a lot of tracking shots in a piece I’m editing, and want to slow the pace down a bit. When I lengthen the shot, it does slow it down nicely, but I sacrifice some focus. is there a way to sharpen the image up a bit? I tried both the Sharpen (horrible grain added) and De-interlace (no noticeable change) filters and am not happy with the results. Can any one make a good suggestion?

A faster shutter speed next time you shoot. 🙂
That same blur makes it look smooth when it’s at regular speed. A faster shutter will look nice at slow speeds but kinda strobey at regular speed.

The blur that you are seeing (if I am understanding your post correctly) comes from the frame blending in FCP. The blur could also come from the effect Bret speaks of, but more than likely you are seeing frame blending. You could try to take the same shot into After effects and change things in there. Also, try to use the first effect you spoke of, but with less effect applied in turn creating less grain.
