60Fps slo mo

[Boomerang]

Shooting 60 tomorrow and just wondering how to handle the slowdown in FCP. Run it through cinema tools to 24? Also if thats the case 24 or 23.98

I know the actual camera shoots 24 but since I am converting from 60 whats best?

Yes, do Batch Conform in Cinema Tools. Choose 23.98.

Thanks

The actual camera shoots 23.98 by the way. It's just called 24p.

Seriously just throw it in FCP at 60p and then slow down by 40% and untick the 'frame blending' box!

It'll give you exactly the same look as conforming it in Cinema Tools!

so the 60fps slo mo does not work like it does on my HVX?

I've never used a HVX so wouldn't know how that works for slomo mate

The slomo in this video was done the way i said mate!

The 7D doesn't shoot slow-mo, it shoots 720/60p. You have to conform the footage to 24fps in order for it to look slow-mo.

The HVX has the ability to do that in-camera, which makes the footage inherently slow-mo. But the GH1 and 7D don't, they shoot live "video-looking" 720/60p, so you have to reconform in post. The end result is the same thing as if it'd been done in-camera, it just requires this additional step.

Thanks Barry. I thought it was in-camera. Mine comes today!!

There is a slow motion playback thing on the 7D. When you play back the footage have a look. It's there!

Conforming in something like cinema tools or a similar program will yield better results overall compared to just dropping into a FCP timeline. FCP will make the movement look somewhat staccato at times.

Oh wow! I really couldn't tell the difference!

Also if you do it in FCP you can choose which bits to slow mo, you don't have to have the whole clip slow mo!

I was unaware it shot 23.98 for some reason I thought it was like the D90.
Good to know.
