Slow motion footage with the DVX100A

[Craig_Tarry]

Hello, I'm trying to create a short slow motion sequence using the Panasonic DVX100A. In his book "The DVX Book", Barry Green says to use 30P fottage in a 24P timeline and slow it down to 80% to make it smooth. For slower footage, he recommends using 60i footage in a 24p timeline, slowed down to 40%.
So, how do you slow down the 24p timeline?
Thanks - Craig

You don't slow down the 24p timeline, you slow down the actual 60i or 30p footage. Most NLE's have a feature that will allow you slow down your clip by whatever percent you enter.

Here's an example of footage shot 60i, 120 shutter, slowed down to 40% on 24p timeline.

That's way cool. I am surprised the pictures come off that clear actually...

BTW if your stuck with 24p footage and want to slow it down Twixtor 4.5 can help in a pinch.....no stuttering.
