problems with shooting 60fps

[neldogg]

I cant figure out how to shoot in slow motion. I'm recording to the P2 card and I change the record format to 1080i/60i or 720p/60p and then change the frame rate to 60frame. When I record something and play it back, it doesn't look like slow motion. I remember filming on the hvx200 like a year ago and when we filmed in slow mo, during playback it played slow. what am I doing wrong?

thanks,

You have to use 720pN mode.

[wgzn]

wait. you HAVE TO shoot in an N mode to achieve overcrank effects?

[jamski]

Yes, unless you have FCP with the frame rate converter, then your 720p 60fps material can be changed in the editor rather than in the camera.

[David Jimerson]

You can do it in NLEs other than FCP, too.

[jamski]

Which ones? I was under the impression only the "magical" frame rate converter in FCP could handle varying frame rates in DVCPROHD.

If you want it in-camera, which sounded to me like what the OP was asking about -- recording and then playing it back.

If you use the "p" mode, you can achieve the same effect in post by stripping out the duplicate frames.

Raylight can do it.

[jamski]

Will Raylight work inside Premiere Pro? We have some stuff on DVCPROHD tape from our Vericam that we currently can't utilize since we aren't a Final Cut house.

[Barry_Green]

Raylight would convert the files to .AVI files, which should then be usable inside Premiere Pro. So I'm pretty sure it'd work for you, but having not tried it I of course can't guarantee it.

Why would anyone rather go through all of the hassle of doing it in post rather than shooting 720 24pN?
