Hey..
I'm still in prep for my no-budget shoot with my Nikon D7000.

I thought of maybe some slow-mo shots would be great. Can I get away to combine my 1080 24p footage with 720p 60p slow-mo scenes? I'm going to use Adobe Premiere for editing.

Is there a way, filter, codec, program etc... to get the most out of this 720p slow mo shots?

How much can I slow down this 60p footage additionally in the editing software without any noticable errors? 10% more maybe?
 
I can tell you that sony vegas or Movie studio does a great job of mix these two. You can have a resize on the 720 or just black frame it (I think that is best).
 
If you know you're using twixtor on a shot, use the highest available resolution and framerate (on the D7000, that's 1080p/24).

Up your shutter speed so that the image appears choppy (ala "Saving Private Ryan") at normal playback speed. This ensures that each frame is a crisp, staccato exposure. Twixtor will blend between frames to generate the content between the actually captured frames. For example, if you took 24 frames and stretched them to 60, Twixtor will take a sequence (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12) and make it (1,1a,2,2a,2b,3,3a,4,4a,4b,5,5a,6,6a,6ab etc).

It works OK with 24P if you have simple backgrounds. Obviously 30P or 60P would yield smoother results... but it works nonetheless. Feel free to message me with any questions! I hope this helps...
