If you have it, Shake does a very good job on Slo-Mo.maXspeed said:Can anyone tell me how to get a smooth slow motion after capturing 24p to final cut pro?
It is a real pain to wanna shot a film in 24p, and then not be able to slo an amazing scene down.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

You're going about it backwards. You don't shoot your scene first, and then think about which segments you want to slow down; you should know beforehand which scenes you're going to want in slow-mo, and shoot them specifically for that.
Slowing down 24p footage in post is not likely going to yield satisfactory results. If you know you're going to want a scene to be slow-mo you will be infinitely better off if you shoot that scene in a faster frame rate, such as 30p or 60i, and then process that footage to be frame-accurate slow-mo.

I appreciate the info Barry.
In my business, we cannot determine what we are going to slo down. We shoot the whole thing in 16:9 and 24p, and when we get back to the studio, we only see what happens during a live show with the stunt that has taken place, after the fact
The program shake might be something that might be suitable.
Thank you both for your help

Barry's right, it definitely better to plan ahead when possible. If you do a *lot* of slow-mo you owe it to yourself to get Shake. Or Re:timer which just does great slow-motion. The built-in tools in FCP won't do a whole lot for you.

Well it's interlaced being converted to 24p so the quality suffers. The best way to get 24p footage is shoot 24p. The only time 60i has a slight advantage would be if you plan a slow-mo shot. With 60i you get more motion samples to work with for creating new frames in slow motion. But at a cost of overall image degradation(to a certain degree).

Thank you Noah, for your info.
I am starting to learn on this forum, that most people are using their DVX100B for film making, and less for live action.
As i had mentioned to Barry, i do not have the luxury of planning my shots.
I will not bore with details, but when we flip on the camera and start to shoot....we actually don't know what it going to happen, but it has to be shot in 24p.
Like i also mentioned, slow mo is only done after we see what we captured.
I did contact a friend who uses shake, and it is not as user friendly as i had hoped, but i will give it a try.
Thanks all for your help
