How do you slow down footage?

[FilmBoy77]

i have some action stuff i shot at 18 fps and its on the same time line as my 24 fps footage. The 18 fps stuff is too fast. I how I slow it down just a bit in FCP?

If you right click on the clip in the timeline, then click on "Clip Speed" then change the speed to something less than 100% it will slow down the clip.

cool, that was easy enough, but now footage looks choppy on the part i slowed it down at....is that the trade off?

 

[boarderjosh10]

yes because those 18 frames are now being expanded to more time per frame

Generally speaking your action stuff is shot too slow. For slow motion you want to start with higher fps.
