Sometimes I find hi-rez files don’t do as well. Can you set the DPI of the stills down to 72 b/4 import and see how they look?

What codec is your sequence?

DVCPRO HD is usually 960X720 I believe.

In Compressor, choose a format preset that matches your sequence.
Turn Frame controls on. (You need to save as or duplicate a preset)
Set the frame controls to best. Create a DVCPRO HD file.

You have a challenge though b/c you have a 4X3 file. You could just blow it up straight and put black bars across the top and bottom, emulating widescreen too as an option.

Run it through Compressor.

OR…

Drop the clip as is – in your HD sequence and (If you like) layer it over a background that fills the screen.

If you want to record Slow motion in camera you choose Variable Frame Rate (VFR) Then you shoot over cranking. Choose 60 FPS in 720p/24 VFR
Then it’ll play back in slow motion in your 24fps sequence.

Now, blurring will come from a slower Shutter speed.
Try some test shots with a higher and slower shutter speeds to get the results you are looking for.

You’ll love the HPX170 for you price range. It’s a real bargain.

I know you hate P2CMS Shane.

I don’t mind it all that much. Does the job.

Steve,
It’s continuous shooting, off-loading on site is not an option in this case.
