Time remapping/slow motion?

[Angelo Lorenzo]

When using slow motion in any form, it’s better to use sources with more frames. It’s like the temporal (time based) version of image resizing: it’s easier to get a great result if you increase the size of an 8mp image by 10% than if you were to do the same to a 400×600 image.

A computer program can only guess at what frames to create and if it’s given higher framerate material to begin with, this process is easier and returns a better result.

Shooting at a higher framerate to begin with also creates frames with less motion blur which improves this guessing process as well.

It depends what you mean by “problems”. By all means you will be able to get slow motion by using the Time Remap function. Granted, it will be less fluid and just a tad more “jerky” than using 60 fps footage – but it will work. Cheers!

thanks. all good.
