"Bullets" dvx/sgpro rev.2

Hey dudes. Startet with the Berlin preset and unchecked every box besides "post" and continued from there.
I now noticed there are some small artifacts going on in the carpet shot, hmm, maybe caused by conforming 50i to 25p, not sure :)
 
You shot that in 50i? How did you go about conforming the footage from 50i to 25p?

I think this may be a stupid question...lol...It's still early, maybe that's it....
 
beautiful footage as always & thanks for the ae link, have just given it a go with 50i & 1/200 shutter speed & it does look slightly smoother than just reducing the speed in premiere. Did you then make your footage progressive in ae or keep it interlaced? have been thinking of getting magic bullet for after effects in order to change interlaced slow mo into progressive to fit with my normally prog dvx footage but wondered if there's any benefit to this or should i just keep slowmo interlaced & edit on a progressive timeline?

edit - i assume you kept frame rate at 25fps PAL not 24fps as the tutorial is for ntsc stuff?

Hey dude.
It should look a lot better than just reducing speed in premiere. Here is what you do: Shoot in 50i with at least 1/120 shutter, create a new composition in after effects(make sure comp is set to 25fps), import your interlaced clip, And then(this is the most important) before you ad the clip to your composition you right-click the clip and choose "interpret clip ->main..." and in the window that comes up you check the box "conform to 25 fps" and make sure that "seperate fields" is set to "lower first"(this will make a 25p file). When that is done you ad the clip to the composition. Make sure that the comp timeline is set to twice the length of the clip and make sure that "motion blur" is turned off. You then highlight the clip in the comp timeline and roll down the "layer" menu and choose "time-strech" and type in 200%.
And now you render the composition, and the clip is done as a slow-motion clip.
then you import that clip into a 25 proggresive project in premiere and edit it as you like.
 
sorry you're right it does make a hell of a difference, i'd followed the tutorial correctly but had used a fairly subdued bit of footage. having tried it on a fairly fast moving clip the motion blur looks awful using premiere to slow it down, but is great with after effects. Also nice that it slips into progressive project - thanks again for the great tip, & keep those little films of yours coming, always inspiring stuff
