A1 slo mo

step by step...

step by step...

Hello All,

I get how to shoot this in camera. But I am struggling with the best way to do this in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4?

Anyone willing to share a recipe for this? I am shooting the bulk of my project in 24f and want to be able to use the slowmotion on that timeline.

I think the info earlier the thread requires the most recent version of FCP? Correct? I look forward to any help out there.

Thanks,
Scott

For slow motion I shoot a mixture of 24F and 60i. It's a pain to switch between tapes and change the framerate every time but 60i has always yields great result when deinterlaced to 60p or for time remapping. I used AE though so not sure about FCP.

I see this particular thread has a lot of views over the last few months. Anyone willing to post a step by step for FCP 5.1.4?
 
You get a good feel for the slo motion when you walk towards the camera - cool effect. What if you wanted to make the footage slower/faster? Also this seems like a long process to get that effect... there's gotta be an easier way!

As far as capturing 24F and 60i in FCP, you don't actually have to stop and change the capture settings. 24F capture will also capture 60i without altering the footage. It's very easy to check clip info in the browser/bin after a capture session to see what clips are what.

It isnt too bad. I mean how much do you shoot for slow motion?

And someone asked so heres my reply. Yes, the original post was made regarding FCP v6.
 
For Premier users. It would be best to shoot in 30f, as you lose quite a bit of resolution when going from 60i to 24p.

Just shoot 30f, import into premier pro, interpret footage as 23.976 fps. import the footage and bam, you haev great slow mo.

You can also do the 60i version, if you don't mind the drop in resolution.
 
Ive heard of people using jes-deinterlacer to convert the footage to 60p, then in cinematools conforming the footage to 24p in 40% slowmo. I've never tried it though
 
It's easier than you think in After Effects. Follow this link to a RareVision tutorial that's easy to follow once you get he hang of it. Really nice 60i footage slowed down. Can even be done with a cheap old cam, if you're not needing HD.

After Effects CS4 also has some kind of new algorithm that reportedly gives awesome time remapping.

Muha,
do little children scream "Godzilla!" when you walk the streets in Tokyo ?:evil:
Couldn´t resist, sorry...
The slo-mo looks good, never needed the HVXs so far so I can´t compare, but it doesn´t look fake like the ones from simple TV programms (news aso)...

I think he was comparing you to Godzilla because of the angle and the feeling of scale that slomo gives things, plus the fact that you are in Tokyo. Not because of the appearance of your feet :grin:
Which are fairly average guy feet as far as I can tell.
