Nice video, Phil.
Given the quality of production you are capable I won’t question your workflow, but I’ll try to explain why I did what I did:
1. 1080p for highest resolution and capability to smoothcam with less degradation.
2. Not having operated true film cinema cameras I can’t say this with certainty, but I would bet that a film camera shooting 60fps would bet set to a shutter speed pretty close to 1/125th simply for the reason that mechanically it would be impossible to shoot at 1/60th of a second. My intent was to make the slow motion look like true slow motion…everything moving at a slower speed. If something slows down halfway there will be less motion blur, consistent with 1/125 second shutter speed.That said, good comments, and I will try a test project using your recommendations. If it smooths out the footage I guess that is what I will have to do.
Oh, and better quality footage can be seen at https://vimeo.com/14014705

Good thoughts…
I rechecked the render settings and it’s set at 100%.
As for the shutter, I’m nearly positive it was at 1/60th, but mistakes do happen. Since I’m having this issue with subsequent problems (more recent and I know it was set properly) I don’t think this is the cause.
When I review the footage in this forum it seems jerky throughout which isn’t really a good representation of the problem. Actually I’m experiencing minor intermittent jitter that happens at random locations in the clip. I’ll view the spot one time with no jitter and then another time with jitter in one spot. Then the next time there is jitter in a different spot.
It’s acting like the clip settings don’t match the sequence settings and yet it was set up to change when the first clip was dragged in.

Oh, yes, forgot to mention that. Always double the frame rate, so 1/60th for the 30fps footage and 1/125 for the 60fps footage.
