You filmed in 50p and are trying to slow it down right. There are some ways to do that with various programs and plugin but I am not knowledgeable with them.

What you need to do is create the slow motion in the camera using its variable frame rates. Meaning, in your case, 25:50, which means you are shooting at 50fps but it is being processed at 25fps to create a slow motion effect.

The proper way to do this is by setting you camera to 25pn, then going into the menu and then to scene file. From there you change the "frames" (2nd one down in US) from 25 to 50. note: you may have to first change the scene file to 5 or 6 (not sure because I have not used the European model). When you do this you will be shooting 50fps over 25fps meaning 2x slow motion.

Hopefully this helps you out. This is also how you would accomplish fast motion or under-cranking, for future reference.

Good Luck!
