Increasing the speed the way you suggest (modify/speed) cuts out the majority of the shot footage though (even with the added frame blur effect).

If you imagine speeding up real film on an old flatbed editing system from 25 frames per second to 250 (or whatever), your eyes would still see every one of the 250 frames per second go racing through the viewer with a lovely blur added to any movement in frame.

As all the footage is in FCP to begin with, there ought be a way to increase the speed using ALL the frames. Any ideas?

Example (0:44 seconds in):

PS. Not slow motion, no.

Just a basic setup with the iMac screen.

For the actual frame size though, as 720×576 is what I’ve previously used when working with 4:3 footage, I assumed for ‘squeeze mode’ footage to reach 16:9 that the 720 would need to be stretched to something like 1024 (which is how I came to exporting 1024×576). Is this wrong?

Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Thanks for such quick response!

Please can you tell me, when using DVX100 squeeze mode, what should the resulting image size be at 100%, as mine, somehow, seems to be 1024×576?

Just tried Export/QuickTime Movie/current settings once more – the depth of shadow and colour are still weak in comparison. Any suggestions?
