Slow Motion Tutorial?

[hoopsking]

Can anyone point me to where to find a tutorial on shooting slow mo with the HVX-200 and FS-100? I just updated the FS-100 to 4.0, tried following the focus instructions, but didn't get it to work.

Tell us exactly what you did in the cam and with the FS100

I recorded in 720/30P, 720/60P, 720/24 P in QuickTime PN and saw nothing in Slow Mo. I brought it into FCP.

You need to take the 720/60p footage and use
the FRAME RATE CONVERTOR to make
slo-mo files from those clips.

Did you set the FS-100 to the VFR mode in the menu system? You have to have the UB mode in the record settings page set to VFR.

Also make certain the VFR mode is at 24 or 30p.

And RED Shooter, the question relates to v.4 of the FS-100 firmware which adds VFR in capturing to the device.

Works really well and you don't need FRC in FCP to achieve it.
