[whynotskate90]

hey im using adobe premiere cs5 with a canon 5d 1080 30fps but i was wondering how i could shoot really crisp hd slow motion shots with my camera i also have adobe after effects if that helps im just sort of new to the hdslr style

I only tried a couple of times without great success. I think something like Twixtor helps, but I generally rent/borrow a camera that shoots 60 fps (t2i, t3i, 60D, 7D) when I want to do slo mo,

thanks you would think such an expensive camera would be able to do something like this

The new mk3 does (720P, 60 fps), but not the mk2. I think people have gotten decent results with Twixtor, but 30 fps isn't very good for trying to slow down.

What are you shooting slow motion shots of? Sure it's possible with perfect planning, light and framing. It's not the same as shooting 60fps but you can still get good results using something like Twixtor as long as you prepare your shot properly.

That may be tough. You may get some decent results but they will most likely be short clips. Best way to do would be to get a trial of twixtor and try it out.

No it's a plugin for Premiere/FCP/Aftereffects. Link: http://www.revisionfx.com/products/twixtor

30fps is pretty bad actually.
