Yes, Twixtor does a great job with 24p. About the only option I have found.
Not to change the subject but there are alot of people attempting to get good video off UAVs. Honestly there are only a couple in the US that are capable of actually putting out production quality video…. me being one of them. You probably have seen some at shows. Bet they didnt lift off and show you some footage. Alot of folks have paperweights. I am working with a company who designs UAVs just for this purpose. Gimbal stabed by a KS-2. Footage looks like a boom or crane shot that just keeps going. We do dolly shots but no worries about track. Its just amazing!! I am flying a pre-production helicopter that is WAY ahead of the curve. Hum, might need to post an ad in here.
Thanks to everyone for their help! Let me know if someone wants some amazing footage! Will travel!

I’m shooting with a Panasonic SD-9 which does give me the option of shooting 60i but my platform doesn’t do well with interlaced footage. I shoot from the nose of a large rotary UAV and interlacing looks bad with that much motion. Yes its a cheap camera but works great for my platform. Just requires some smoothing in post but gets footage that no one has been able to get before.
After reading last night, I came to the conclusion that you just said. 60 fps then decrease to 24 or you can buy Twixtor. It does a great job with 24P. Tried it out last night and every frame looks just like the one prior.
I will try out the FCP non-frame blending tech.
Thanks,

Um okay, I will. Sorry, I\’m a firefighter/paramedic, not an editor. I\’m teaching myself and thought slo-mo would be simple using FCP suite. Guess not. Didnt intentionally not tell anyone about the Boris plug-in. Footage looks fine after stab. Frame by frame looks great. Dont know why Motion would have a problem with it. Maybe Ill just slow it in FCP but wanted to get the best result possible.

Well, thought that I found something in yet another tutorial but ddnt work. It was changing the properties in motion to double the frames. Same result. Going frame to frame, it looks like every other frame is distorted. I would assume those are the frames Motion generates? What would cause that?

Thanks but Im all set using smoothcam. I actually use Boris Optical stab. This footage was smoothed prior to sending to Motion. Does that matter?
Here is what Im doing-
Send clip to Motion, select optical flow and decrease timing to 20%. This starts the background process. After its over, I view in Motion and clip is unusable. Saved and sent to FCP, rendered and clip is still unusable.

Yes, preview in Motion and when it gets back to FCP. Thought that it just needed to be rendered but even after that it looks bad. Its glitchy and doesn’t play the whole clip. Watched several tutorials trying to find what I’m doing wrong. Seems pretty cut and dry.

Yes! Shot out to Matt and Boris!
Its unheard of to get customer service like that these days. Really sold me on you guys stuff! Super impressed!
Thanks again Matt.

Okay, when I drag the filter over my footage in the timeline, I get a message over my canvas that says “This filter cannot operate without media in its topmost layer. Please drag your source clip into the well”.
I drag the clip into the “well”. It shows up in the well is a very small preview. The message in my canvas never goes away.
Went to mode and chose setup region but that’s were I stop. My canvas still has the message listed above.

I am going to follow your instructions right now. I’m getting hung up at the very beginning.
Will report back in a few.
