Is it me or does it seem like slow motion looks better in Final Cut than Vegas Video. I haven't tried rendering a video clip within both programs but if someone can confirm this I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

There are a lot of factors which affect the quality of slo-mo, any of which could be at play in any combination here.

True. But if settings on both programs were the same or fairly close, Final Cut seems to have more fluid slowmo. I'm trying to figure out why.

The best way I have found to get good slow motion is to use the Twixtor plugin for After Effects. Of course that requires that you have AE, but it provides some of the best footage I have seen.

Quite a bit depends on the clip itself. 24p footage on a 24p timeline is going to have jittery slo-mo. But a 30p or 60i clip will have much smoother slo-mo.

RikGuyver, do you mind posting a couple of short clips so we can see more clearly what you are talking about. I have always found Vegas to give me great slow motion, especially considering I was using 24p footage. However, if FCP is better, I would really like to see what it can do.
