Slo Motion ?? 60i on 24p timeline ?

[Cabrera]

I want to get some fluid slo mo. the project is shot in 24p ...i will be shooting the slo mo in 60i ( canon 60d ) how would i get the 60i configured
to play back in FCP on my 24p timeline in slo mo. Thank you i have searched and can not nail this down for some reason

also i understand shutter speed may play a factor

Thanks again!!!!

The EOS 60D does not record 60i. You can shoot 30p and 24p at 1080, or 60p at 720.

For slow-mo, you'll need to shoot at 720p60. Take that footage and convert it (Compressor or MPEG StreamClip... I prefer StreamClip) to your editing codec, and at this step you'll also up-rez to 1080p60. Then, take the converted file into Cinema Tools and conform it to 23.976 and you'll have a butter-smooth slow-mo clip to import into FCP.

any specific shutter speed

Depends on if you want softer (1/60) or sharper (1/120). Try them both, see which you like better.

Shoot 720p60. Convert to ProRes (many ways to do this)...and then use Cinema Tools to make it slow motion. I have a tutorial for this:

ALSO...Magic Bullet Grinder has an option where it will take your 720p60 footage, and convert it to ProRes 1080p24 or 1080p30 slow motion in one fell swoop!
